NOTE: If the UPS was operating on battery power when the remote switch was closed, no power is available to the load devices until utility power is restored and the UPS has been manually powered up. To restore power to the load devices after the REPO feature is activated, press the On button after the AC source is reconnected to the UPS. IMPORTANT: Pressing and holding the On button without utility present normally initiates a battery start and the UPS assumes the load.
Installation Precautions Save these instructions. This document contains important safety instructions that should be followed during installation, operation, and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. WARNING: A risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels exists. The installation of options and routine maintenance and service of this product must be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with AC power products.
• Hex nuts • Cage nuts • Cage nut-fitting tool Selecting a site WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, install the unit in a temperature- and humiditycontrolled indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. When selecting a site, consider the following factors: • Elevated operating ambient temperature—If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient temperature.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: • The leveling feet are extended to the floor. • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet. • The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation. • The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations. • Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.
2. Insert screws through the rack into the mounting rail and the front of each mounting bracket. 3. Install cage nuts or clip nuts into the rear of the rack.
4. Insert screws through the mounting rail into the cage nuts or clip nuts. 5. Tighten the wing nuts or hex nuts.
6. Install the rear stabilization bracket using hex nuts. Wait until the unit is installed and the brackets are adjusted before tightening the nuts. Installing the UPS Before installing the unit, review and adhere to all warnings provided in "Precautions (on page 13)." WARNING: A risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment exists. Uneven loading of equipment in the rack might cause the rack to become unstable.
Connecting the battery leads Attaching the UPS front bezel Connecting the serial communications port CAUTION: Use only the computer interface cable supplied with the UPS to connect the communications port to the host computer. IMPORTANT: Power management software requires the communications port to be appropriately cabled to the host computer.
Connecting the REPO port WARNING: The pins on the REPO port are polarity sensitive. Be sure to verify polarity while connecting the REPO port. WARNING: To meet the requirements stated in NEC (NFPA 70) Articles 645-10 and 645-11, a UPS installed in a computer equipment room must be connected to a REPO circuit. IMPORTANT: The remote switch must be in the Off (open) position to enable power to the output receptacles.
NOTE: Wire the connector block using stranded, nonshielded wire (AWG #22 - #18, or equivalent). Separate wire pairs are attached to a single, normally-open contact in a parallel connection. HP recommends using different colors for the positive and negative wires. If a connector becomes disconnected and is reconnected with reversed polarity, a REPO is initiated. To avoid REPO port disconnect: • Minimize wire strain while connecting the REPO port. • Avoid allowing the wires to hang in the rear of the UPS.
Connecting the ground bonding cable NOTE: UPS appearance might vary depending on the specific unit installed. The ground bonding screw is provided as an attachment point for conductors. Use a ground bonding cable if the rack contains any conductors for the purpose of functional grounding or bonding of ungrounded metal parts. The ground bonding cable is not included.
WARNING: To prevent injury from electric shock or damage to the equipment: • Plug the input line cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is installed near the equipment and is easily accessible. • Do not disable the grounding plug on the input line cord. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. • Do not use extension cords. Connect the UPS to a grounded utility power outlet. When the UPS is plugged in, it automatically enters Standby mode and begins charging the batteries.
Charging the UPS batteries Allow the batteries to charge before putting the UPS into service. IMPORTANT: Charge the batteries for at least 24 hours before supplying backup power to devices. The batteries charge to: • 90% of their capacity within 4 hours • 100% of their capacity within 24 hours Starting power to the load Start power to the load by placing the UPS in Operate mode (on page 27). IMPORTANT: AC power must be available the first time the UPS is started.
Attaching the ERM front bezel Switching off the ERM circuit breaker WARNING: To prevent personal injury from electric shock or damage to the equipment, verify that the circuit breaker is in the Off position. Connecting the ERM to the UPS NOTE: Before connecting an ERM to a UPS, remove the label from the ERM connector.
Plug the ERM cable (1) in the socket (2) at the rear of the UPS. NOTE: To install a second ERM, plug the cable from the second ERM into the socket at the rear of the first ERM. Up to two ERM units can be connected. Switching on the ERM circuit breaker Charging the ERM batteries Connect the UPS to a grounded utility power outlet. When the UPS is plugged in, the unit automatically enters Standby mode and begins charging the ERM batteries. Allow 24 hours for the ERM to fully charge.
UPS operations Modes of operation The UPS has four modes of operation: • Standby mode (on page 27) • Operate mode (on page 27) • Configure mode (on page 28) • Auto-Bypass mode (on page 28) Standby mode In Standby mode: • No power is available at the UPS output receptacles. • The UPS charges the batteries as necessary. The UPS can be placed in Standby mode when the UPS is in Operate mode (on page 27).
NOTE: • If the UPS is using battery power (no utility power is present and the Utility LED is red), press and hold the On button until the audible alarm sounds. • If the UPS is off (no LEDs are illuminated), press the On button to start the UPS on battery power. For the location of buttons, see "UPS front panel controls (on page 7)." For the location of LEDs, see "UPS front panel LED indicators (on page 8)." Configure mode In Configure mode: • Power is available at the UPS receptacles.

For the location of buttons, see "UPS front panel controls (on page 7)." For the location of LEDs, see "UPS front panel LED indicators (on page 8)." Available voltage settings NOTE: An asterisk (*) indicates the default setting.
Silencing an audible alarm To silence an alarm, press the Test/Alarm Reset button ("UPS front panel controls" on page 7). IMPORTANT: • Although the audible alarm silences, the condition that caused the alarm to sound may still exist. • If a utility power failure caused the alarm (the Utility LED or the General Alarm LED illuminates red), the alarm silences after power is restored. For information about audible alarm conditions, see "LED and audible alarm troubleshooting (on page 41).
Power management Power management software HP Power Manager software ensures maximum power reliability of computer systems through comprehensive control of UPSs. The easy-to-use browser interface enables novice users to configure and manage power protection settings. To download the latest version of HP Power Manager software, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower). NOTE: To install and configure the software, see the software user guide.
