Appendix C  UPS Console Messages

UPS LDEV! reports loss of AC input power. (UPSERR 0033)

The specified UPS device reported that it detected an input power failure. There has been an AC power failure somewhere in the power path leading into the UPS. The UPS has switched to its internal battery pack to supply reserve power.

If the power failure is brief, not long enough to exhaust the UPS battery, no action is needed. Otherwise, determine what is causing the power loss and take action to restore the power before the UPS battery becomes exhausted.

UPS LDEV ! reports AC input power "Bypass Mode". (UPSWRN 0035)

The specified UPS device has been placed into its "AC Power Bypass Mode" of operation. This should only occur when an HP Customer Engineer is servicing the UPS and intends to put the UPS into "Bypass Mode".

No action is needed if this message occurs during Customer Engineer servicing of the UPS. If this message occurs during normal system operation, there is probably a hardware problem in the UPS. Call your HP service representative.

UPS LDEV ! reports AC input power restored. (UPSWRN 0036)

The specified UPS device had lost its AC input power in the past, and now the AC input power has been restored. If the UPS is operating correctly, it will now switch from battery operation back to normal AC power operation.

No action is needed. The system automatically returns to normal operation when all UPS devices (there may be one or several UPS devices on a system) detect that normal AC input power is present following a power loss at any UPS.

UPS LDEV ! reports "Low Battery Charge" condition. (UPSWRN 0037)

The specified UPS had lost its AC input power some time ago and has been supplying reserve power from its battery. AC input power has not been restored yet, causing the battery to be drained down to a "low charge" power level.

Locate and correct the cause of the AC power failure. If AC power is not restored within the next two minutes, the UPS battery will be exhausted and the UPS output AC power will fail, causing power loss to the computer equipment.

UPS LDEV ! reports AC output power turned off. (UPSERR 0041)

The specified UPS device has turned off its AC output power. Someone may have mistakenly turned off the UPS' power switch, or the UPS may have malfunctioned. Whatever equipment was receiving power from the UPS has now lost power.

Investigate and correct the problem at the UPS. Turn on all power control switches on the UPS. If the computer (CPU) lost power, you will have to re-boot the system after restoring the UPS power.
