Cabinet configurations that include an R5500 XR UPS also have one extended runtime

module (ERM). An ERM is a battery module that extends the overall battery-supported

system run time. A second ERM can be added for even longer battery-supported

system run time.

Adding an R5500 XR UPS to a modular cabinet in the field requires changing the PDU

on the right to be compatible with UPS. Both the UPS and the ERM are 3U high and

must reside in the bottom of the cabinet. A 1U keepout panel installed at cabinet offset

1U is required when installing a UPS.

This illustration shows the location of a UPS and one ERM in a rack (with the PDU

junction box set aside for clarity):

For power and environmental requirements, planning, installation, and emergency

power-off (EPO) instructions for the R5500 XR UPS, refer to the documentation

shipped with the UPS. For information about planning for a site UPS, refer to NonStop

NS-Series Servers Site Preparation Guide.

System Console

A system console is a personal computer (PC) running maintenance and diagnostic

software for Integrity NonStop NS-series systems. When supplied with a new NonStop

system, system consoles have factory-installed HP and third-party software for

managing the Integrity NonStop NS-series system. You can install software upgrades

from the HP NonStop System Console Installer CD.

Note. Retrofitting a system in the field with a UPS and ERMs will likely require moving

all installed enclosures up in the rack to provide space for the new hardware. One or

more of the enclosures that formerly resided in the rack might be displaced and will

thereby have to be installed in another rack. Additionally, lifting equipment might be

required to lift heavy enclosures to their new location.
