Connecting the UPS to utility power
WARNING: To prevent injury from electric shock or
damage to the equipment:
• Plug the input line cord into a grounded (earthed)
electrical outlet that is installed near the equipment and
is easily accessible.
• Do not disable the grounding plug on the input line
cord. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
• Do not use extension cords.
Connect the UPS to a grounded utility power outlet. When the UPS is
plugged in, it automatically enters Standby mode and begins
charging the batteries.
Connecting devices to the UPS
CAUTION: Do not plug laser printers into the UPS output
receptacles. The instantaneous current drawn by this type
of printer can overload the UPS.
Before connecting devices, verify that the UPS will not overload by
checking that the ratings of the devices do not exceed the UPS
capacity. If the equipment rating is listed in amps, multiply the
number of amps by the selected output voltage to determine the VA.
After verifying that the UPS will not overload (depending on your
model):
• Connect the device power cords to the output receptacles on
the rear panel of the UPS.
-or-
• Connect devices to the output receptacles on the rear panel of
the UPS using the IEC-to-IEC power cords included with the
UPS.
To provide additional receptacles:
• Plug a PDU into the PDU output receptacle. The PDU output
receptacle is part of load segment 1 and can be turned off and
on using power management software.
• Plug an extension bar into any IEC-320-C19 receptacle to yield
eight additional IEC-320-C13 receptacles.
Connecting the UPS cord retention clips
NOTE: UPS appearance might vary depending on the
specific unit installed.
Charging the UPS batteries
With the UPS in Standby mode, allow the batteries to charge before
putting the UPS into service.
IMPORTANT: Charge the batteries for at least 24 hours
before supplying backup power to devices. The batteries
charge to:
• 80 percent of their capacity within 3 hours
• 100 percent of their capacity within 48 hours
Starting power to the load
Start power to the load by placing the UPS in Operate mode.
IMPORTANT: AC power must be available the first time
the UPS is started.
Installing the UPS as a tower
Before installing the unit, review and adhere to all warnings
provided in "Precautions (on page 1)."
