SOLA Never Stops Innovating

Quick Startup

1

Your SOLA 520 Rackmount UPS has a removable power cord. Connect the power cord to
the back of the unit and plug the UPS into a wall outlet.

2

Let the unit charge the battery for at least 3 hours (7 hours for 1425 VA model if it is fully
loaded). You may use the unit while the battery charges, but the battery backup runtime will
be reduced until the battery is fully charged.

3

Start the SOLA 520 Rackmount by pressing and holding the On/Standby button (large
button in the center of the front panel) in for about one second.  Note: To turn the unit either
on or off, the On/Standby button must be pressed for about one second.

3.a. When it starts, the unit beeps and lights the front panel lights, turns them off, and lights

them again. 

Next, the SOLA 520 Rackmount applies AC output to the back panel

receptacles.

It does a brief self test, turning various front panel lights off and on.

3.b. After 30 seconds or less, the self test is complete. The top and bottom green lights will

come on and remain on. If the unit beeps, or if the top light does not remain on even
though input power is available from the wall outlet, go to the Troubleshooting section.

4

Switch off the equipment you want to protect, and plug each load into the outlets on the
back of the SOLA 520 Rackmount.

5

Switch on the protected equipment, one load at a time. If the UPS beeps an alarm when you
start your equipment, the UPS may be overloaded. See the Troubleshooting section.

The bottom four lights on the front of the UPS show the % of load capacity that your equip-
ment is using. See Symbols, LEDs and Audible Beeps Section for more information.

6

The RJ-11 or RJ-45 Surge Protection
jacks will protect equipment that uses
an RJ-11 or RJ-45 connection. Plug
the 10BASE-T network connection
into the surge protection jack labeled
“IN” on the back of the SOLA 520
Rackmount. Plug the protected equip-
ment into the surge protection jack
labeled “OUT.” Network cabling is not
provided. 

This connection is optional. It is not needed to use the SOLA 520 Rackmount.
