8.5.5 Event Actions - Shutdown
The Shutdown feature allows the orderly shutdown of the operating system and the UPS in response
to certain events, such as Low Battery.
To configure the Shutdown action:
• Check (
✔
) the Enable Shutdown Action box. This is required for the action to operate.
• In the Operating System Shutdown area, check the Enable box to permit Liebert MultiLink
to perform an orderly shutdown of the operating system. Use the arrows in the Delay boxes to
specify the time lapse between an event’s occurrence and when the shutdown begins.
• The System Administrator can use the UPS Output Off feature to set up Liebert MultiLink to
shut down the UPS after shutting down the host computer’s operating system. This feature is
available only on certain UPS models. (A special cable may be required to support this feature on
Contact Closure connections.)
• To set up the UPS Output Off feature, click on the Enable box,

• Use the related Delay boxes to specify an additional delay (above and beyond the “Operating
System Shutdown” delay) prior to turning off the UPS output.
• Enabling Auto reboot UPS output causes the UPS to restore power to the load (after a brief
delay) after the output power has been turned off as a result of selecting the Enable check
box. These features induce a controlled cycling of power to the critical load, eliminating the
need to reset the UPS manually. This option is not available with Contact Closure.

Note: Input power to the UPS must be present before UPS output power can be restored. If
the output has been turned off during a utility outage, the UPS output power will not be
turned on until the input utility is restored.
• The Canceling Event will abort all actions initiated by Liebert MultiLink in response to the
event being configured, except UPS Output Off (see NOTE above). See Table 14 for a list of
Events with default canceling events.
• At any time, click on the Reset to Defaults button to revert to the factory defaults for this
feature.
• To save settings, click on the MultiLink menu at the top of the window, then click on Save
Event Configuration.
NOTE
Because the Canceling Event does not halt the UPS Output Off portion of the Shutdown
Because the Canceling Event does not halt the UPS Output Off portion of the Shutdown
action, Emerson strongly advises against enabling the UPS Output Off action if the
Operating System Shutdown action is not enabled.
