How to Set the Smart-UPS to Recognize the Battery Pack(s)
Smart-UPS XL models cannot determine how many external battery packs are connected to them.
You must program the Smart-UPS XL with the appropriate number of external batteries in one of
four ways.
It is important to follow these instructions. The number of batteries affects the run time
calculations which Smart-UPS performs when it is running on battery power.
Use the Smart-UPS Battery Pack Utility (BATTPACK)
This program can be used with DOS or at a Microsoft® Windows DOS prompt.
BATTPACK cannot be used with a DOS emulator or VDM (virtual DOS machine) like those in
Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT.
The APC UPS Link cable must be used to communicate to the UPS. There are two black cables
which can be used; part numbers 940-0024C or 940-1524C.
At the DOS prompt, type: battpack com[X] [Y] where:
[X] represents the available serial port that Battery Pack Utility uses to access the
Smart-UPS.
[Y] represents the number of external battery packs.
For example: C:> battpack com1 4
The black cable is attached to communication port 1. There are four external battery
packs. The program confirms that the update is successful.
Use PowerChute® plus Version 5.x for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT
PowerChute plus 5.x for Windows NT is compatible with NT 3.5.1 SP5, NT 4.0 Workstation (at
least SP1), or NT 4.0 Server (at least SP1).
Install the software per the instructions on the CD. After rebooting the computer, access the
PowerChute plus graphical user interface.
