compatible with the UPS. A factory-installed UPS ships with the HP extension bars

already installed on the right side of the modular cabinet. Both the UPS and the ERM

are 3U high and must reside in the bottom of the cabinet.

This illustration shows the location of a UPS and an ERM in a rack:

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.

System Console

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

software for Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems. When supplied with a new NonStop

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

managing the Integrity NonStop NS1000 system. You can install software upgrades

from the HP NonStop System Console Installer CD.

Some system console hardware, including the PC system unit, monitor, and keyboard,

can be mounted in the Integrity NonStop NS1000 system’s 19-inch rack. Other PCs

are installed outside the rack and require separate provisions or furniture to hold the

PC hardware.

For more information on the system console, refer to System Console on page B-1.

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 therefore have to be

installed in another rack. Additionally, lifting equipment might be required to lift heavy

enclosures to their new location.

Note. The AC input power cord for the R5500 XR UPS is routed to exit the modular cabinet at

either the top or bottom of the cabinet depending on what is ordered for the site power feed,

and the large output receptacle is unused.
