`
`Limited Warranty
`Systems Enhancement Corporation (hereinafter "SE") warrants that each product
`sold by SE is free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
`This warranty is applicable only to the initial end user (END USER), and is not
`transferable. The duration of this warranty is ninety (90) days from the date of the
`first retail sale or the date of delivery to the PURCHASER, whichever occurs first,
`subject to the following conditions.
`If the PURCHASER discovers within the duration of this warranty a defect in
`material or workmanship, the PURCHASER must promptly notify SE in writing
`within the duration of the warranty. SE's obligation under this warranty is limited to
`the replacement or repair, subject to the conditions specified below, of such product
`returned intact to SE which shall appear to SE, upon inspection, to have been
`defective. Replacement or repair will be made at SE's Technical Support Center,
`174 Chesterfield
`Industrial Boulevard, Chesterfield, MO. Such
`repair or
`replacement shall be at SE's expense. This warranty does not cover any taxes
`which may be due in connection with replacement or repair, nor any installation,
`removal, transportation or postage costs. These expenses will be paid by
`PURCHASER. If SE is unable to repair or replace the product to conform to this
`warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, SE will refund the purchase price
`to the purchaser or dealer through which the product was sold. Remedies under
`this warranty are expressly limited to those specified above.
`TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, SE DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
`WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,

`INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
`FOR ANY SPECIAL,
`INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS,
`INJURIES TO
`PROPERTY, LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY ASSOCIATED
`EQUIPMENT.
`Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so that
`the above limitation on duration of implied warranties may not apply to you. Some
`states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
`damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty
`gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
`state to state. You are advised to consult applicable state laws.
`No warranty is made with respect to other products sold by SE which do not bear
`the name Systems Enhancement Corporation, and no recommendation of such
`other product shall imply or constitute any warranty with respect to them. The
`warranty does not apply to products which have been abused, mishandled,
`modified, damaged, by Act of God or a source external to the product; repaired by
`others; or which have their serial numbers removed or altered.

`
`FCC Compliance
`Power Administrator has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
`device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
`protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
`environment.
`This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy; and, if not installed and
`used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

`
`Introduction
`Congratulations on your purchase of the Power Administrator™
`BOO
`(PA-800).
`The PA-800
`is a microprocessor-controlled
`receptacle management device for in-band and out-of-band control
`of AC power to remote equipment. The PA-800 provides flexible
`power management to critical equipment, such as hubs, routers,
`rack-mount servers, or other gear that require occasional power(cid:173)
`down or power-up under remote control.
`With the Windows '95/NT software provided, users may selectively
`apply power to devices connected to the PA-800 or schedule power(cid:173)
`up and power-down sequences for automatic occurrence at a user(cid:173)
`defined] time or when triggered by an alarm input (such as a
`temperature or humidity alarm or a contact-closure input.)
`Optional network and modem interfaces allow remote operation via
`dialup, telnet, or SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
`See Section N for more discussion of network and modem support.
`PA-800 Features
`The PA-800 provides the following features. Note that not all
`configurations use all features.
`
`Remote Monitoring
`Monitors the input and output conditions for a connected UPS or
`other device.
`
`Remote Contact Monitoring
`Monitors two relay contact closures for user-definable events.
`
`Six Integrated Receptacles
`For powering six devices (11.5A maximum load).
`
`Scalability
`Up to sixteen PA-800 units may be connected via a single interface
`for control of up to 128 outlets.
`
`Front Panel Interface
`Allows manual operation via the face of the PA-800. May be
`disabled.

`
`Systems Enhancement Corporation
`
`Optional Temperature/Humidity Input
`Allows the PA-800 to provide enviironmental as well as power
`management to the rack.
`
`Optional Network Interface
`Ethernet (1 OBaseT or 1 0Base2) interface for SNMP or Telnet
`operation over TCP/IP.
`Generate network traps at a central
`Network Management Station (NMS) when alarm conditions occur.
`
`Optional Modem Interface
`For dialup operations with a simple terminal-mode interface or
`protocol support.
`
`Pager Support
`Dialout on alarm to alert maintenance personnel.
`
`Slave Shutdown Feature
`The PA-800 can be configured to send shutdown indications to
`attached seNers or other equipment prior to powering down the
`corresponding receptacle. This allows graceful operating system
`shutdown prior to power-off.
`
`Enunciator Outputs
`The PA-800 may be configured to send contact output indications to
`an enunciator panel to allow alarm conditions to be displayed for the
`operator.
`
`Optional Remote Receptacles
`The PA-800 supports two remote receptacles for switching remote
`Ideal for high-voltage and/or high-current
`contactors or relays.

`
`Installation of Unit #1
`
`This section describes the installation of the PA-800 Unit #1. For
`installation of Units #2 through #16, see Installation of Units 2 to 16.
`DIP Switch Configuration
`Before installing the PA-800, ensure that your DIP switch settings
`(on the reverse of the unit) are correct. Figure 3 shows the
`meaning of DIP switches.
`
`The PA-800 will not communicate properly if the DIP switch is
`incorrectly configured.
`
`Configure Address
`For installation of Unit #1 , ensure that DIP switches 1 to 4 are
`DOWN (corresponding to Unit #1).
`Configure Baud Rates
`DIP Switch #5 corresponds to serial port "1 " (for connection to your
`PC). For 9600 baud operation, this DIP switch should be UP. For
`2400 Baud operation, this DIP switch should be DOWN.
`If using a downstream device is connected, DIP switch #7 indicates
`the baud rate for serial port "2". For 9600 baud operation, this DIP
`switch should be UP. For 2400 Baud operation, this DIP switch
`should be DOWN.
`
`Termination Resistor
`Ensure that DIP switch #8 is DOWN to indicate that Unit #1 is the
`first PA-800 in the chain.
`Rack Mount Installation
`To install the PA-800 in a 19" or 23" rack, ensure that the unit has
`If not,
`been shipped with factory-installed rack-mount hardware.
`see your reseller to upgrade the unit to a rack-mount configuration.
`Please see the important notice on the following page for rack(cid:173)
`mount installation.

`•
`Do not exceed to Maximum Recommended Ambient of 120°
`Fahrenheit. Racks often achieve elevated temperatures
`relative to outside surroundings.
`Verify that worst-case
`temperatures will not exceed this 120° limit.
`Ensure that adequate airflow is maintained on sides and rear
`of the rack.
`Ensure that the rack in which the PA-800 is mounted has
`sufficient loading in its base to eliminate the possibility of the
`rack tipping.
`Do not use the PA-800 as a load-bearing shelf .
`Do not exceed the output load limit of 11 .5A .
`Ensure that the rack and all equipment are properly grounded .
`Ensure that the rack environment has humidity of less than
`90% non-condensing.

`switch #7) matches
`that of the device
`(see DIP Switch
`Configuration, above).
`
`Ethernet Connections
`If you have the optional LAN interface installed, plug a standard RJ-
`45 patch cable (1 OBaseT) into the connector labeled "1 OBaseT".
`The remaining end should be plugged into a 1 OBaseT hub or
