Eaton Corporation has introduced its network shutdown module (NSM) version 3.20 for the Macintosh Snow Leopard Operating System (OS) X.
Eaton’s NSM is one of the most intuitive software products for Mac users, giving them enhanced power control over any iMac, MacPro or Xserve server running Snow Leopard. It is also now fully functional with HID-USB-enabled Eaton uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) from the Pulsar series.
With the latest version of NSM, automatic OS shutdown and reboot in case of a prolonged power failure is now a standard capability, right out of the box. When NSM is installed on Macs protected by Eaton UPSs from the Pulsar series, NSM is designed to gracefully shut down Snow Leopard in the event of an extended power outage before the UPS depletes battery run time – saving energy and protecting data.
Through the Safari browser, users can easily monitor power consumption or enable energy conservation schemes, such as the ability to automatically switch off non-essential peripherals or schedule the start-up and shutdown of the system on a weekly basis.
Powerful redundancy management modes are available when protecting multiple Xserve servers. When combined with Eaton’s Environmental Monitoring Probe, around-the-clock monitoring of environmental conditions – such as heat and humidity – is conducted at the server level.
In addition, multiple Eaton UPSs and power distribution units (PDUs) can be remotely monitored and managed from Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager supervisory software.
NSM, along with Eaton’s comprehensive suite of software products, is available as a free download with the purchase of an Eaton UPS through its Web site, click here. |
