UPS Installation Overview The Management Card can be installed in an expansion slot in a Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS, or Symmetra Power Array. For a Silcon DP300E series UPS, the Management Card installs in a Triple Chassis (either an AP9604R or AP9604SR). Step 1: Install PowerChute If you are installing PowerChute® plus and a Management Card for the same server, first install PowerChute plus. This allows you to make sure that PowerChute plus is working properly before you install the Management Card.
UPS Installation, continued Step 3:Install the Web/SNMP Management Card Caution: If you are installing the Management Card in a Symmetra Power Array that uses more than one APC management peripheral, see the supplied Installation of Multiple SmartSlot Cards sheet. You must install the APC peripherals in the correct order, otherwise the peripherals may fail to operate properly. 1. Use the screws that hold the slot cover in place to secure the Management Card in the UPS expansion slot. 2.
Expansion/Triple Chassis Installation Overview You must use an SmartSlot Expansion Chassis or a SmartSlot Expansion Triple Chassis (AP9604, AP9604R or AP9604SR) under the following circumstances: • The expansion slot or slots are in use for the Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS, or Symmetra Power Array. • The UPS, such as an older model Matrix-UPS or a Silcon DP300E series UPS, does not have an expansion slot. Note: A Silcon DP300E series UPS always uses a Triple Chassis (AP9604R or AP9604SR).
Expansion/Triple Chassis Installation continued Step 3: Install the Web/SNMP Management Card Caution: If the UPS uses more than one APC management peripheral, see the supplied Installation of Multiple SmartSlot Cards sheet. You must install the APC peripherals in the correct order, otherwise the peripherals may fail to operate properly. 1. If PowerChute plus is installed, stop the PowerChute plus service and disconnect its cable from the UPS serial port. 2.
Quick Configuration Overview You must configure three TCP/IP settings before the Management Card can operate on a network: • The IP address of the Management Card • The subnet mask • The Default Gateway Note: If a Default Gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer located on the same subnet as the Management Card that is usually running. The Management Card uses the Default Gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.
