UPS Initial Startup

To start up the UPS:

NOTE: Verify that the total equipment ratings do not exceed the UPS capacity to prevent an

overload alarm.

1. Verify that the internal batteries are connected. See “Installing the UPS” on page 10.

2. If optional ERMs are installed, verify that the ERMs are connected to the UPS. See

“Connecting the ERM(s)” on page 12.

3. Plug the equipment to be protected into the UPS, but do not turn on the protected

equipment.

4. Make any necessary provisions for cord retention and strain relief.

5. Plug the detachable UPS power cord into the input connector on the UPS rear panel.

6. Plug the UPS power cord into a power outlet.

7. Press the

(Output On) button on the UPS front panel for at least one second.

8. Check the UPS front panel for active alarms. Resolve any active alarms before

continuing. See “Troubleshooting” on page 39.

If the

(Alarm) indicator is on, do not proceed until all alarms are clear. Check the

UPS status from the front panel to view the active alarms. Correct the alarms and

restart, if necessary.

9. Verify that the

(Power On) indicator is illuminated, indicating that the UPS is

operating normally and any loads are powered.

The UPS should be in Normal mode.

10. If optional ERMs are installed, see “Configuring the UPS for ERMs” on page 20 to set

thenumberofinstalledERMs.

NOTE: The batteries charge to 90% capacity in less than 3 hours. However, to fully charge, HP

recommends that the batteries charge for 48 hours after installation or long-term storage.

page 33.
