Connecting the REPO port
WARNING:
To meet the requirements stated in NEC
(NFPA 70) Articles 645-10 and 645-11, a UPS installed in
a computer equipment room must be connected to a REPO
circuit.
IMPORTANT:
The remote switch must be in the Off (open)
position to enable power to the output receptacles.
NOTE:
Wire the connector block using stranded,
nonshielded wire (AWG #22 - #18, or equivalent).
Connecting the ground bonding cable
The ground bonding screw is provided as an attachment point for
conductors. Use a ground bonding cable if the rack contains any
conductors for the purpose of functional grounding or bonding of
ungrounded metal parts.
The ground bonding cable is not included.
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.
1.
Connect the input power cord from an intended load device to
the IEC-320-C20 input power receptacle on the UPS rear panel
(INTL model only).
2.
Connect the UPS power cord to a grounded utility power
outlet. When the UPS is plugged in, the batteries begin to
charge. Power to the output receptacles designated for surge
and battery backup is not available until the unit is powered
up.
For more information about receptacle control, see "Power
management software" in the user guide.
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 120 (for Japan, by 100) to determine the VA.
After verifying that the UPS will not overload:
•
Connect the device power cords to the output receptacles on
the rear panel of the UPS (NA/JPN/TWN model).
-or-
•
Connect devices to the output receptacles on the rear panel of
the UPS using the jumper cords included with the UPS (INTL
model).
Charging the UPS batteries
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:
•
90% of their capacity within 4 hours
•
100% of their capacity within 24 hours
