I have upgraded my DELL UPS 1920W to the last firmware, 01.14.0003 and I am using the last Local Node Manager.
In the evenement log, I see a lot of Entering Boost Mode records and also returning to normal mode
Is it normal ?
what doest it mean ?
I include some records of the log file

Boost mode means the UPS is taking the input voltage and boosting it to the correct output voltage without having to have the UPS go on battery. If this is happening often then either the UPS is set to the wrong output voltage (set to 240 when input is really 220) or there is an actual issue with the input voltage to the UPS. Having the UPS operate in boost mode does not effect reliability.
To change the input voltage of the UPS it has to be in the Standby mode (AC still connected to the input but the outputs off). Once you are in Standby mode you can go through the LCD menu of the UPS to change the output voltage. You cannot change the output voltage while the UPS is running (outputs on).
UPS Standby mode the icon on the LCD display should be the "on/off" power button icon. If you still see the icon that looks like a power plug the UPS is still running.This is called out on the User's Guide Table 4/
