Communicating with a UPS over a Network
5-2 Express5800/320Fc: Site Planning Guide
Communicating with a UPS over a Network
Use the following additional tools to enable an Express5800/320Fc system and a UPS
to communicate over the network:
• APC Network Management Card EX (APC part number AP9617)
An APC Network Management Card EX is a standard component of the Symmetra
UPS, but you must purchase the network card for the APC Smart-UPS.
• APC PowerChute
®
Network Shutdown for the Express5800/320Fc system
When you install your Express5800/320
Fc system, download PowerChute
Network Shutdown from APC, and install and configure the tool on the system, as
described in the Express5800/320
Fc: Software Installation and Configuration
Guide. PowerChute Network Shutdown monitors the UPS for an imminent power
loss, and initiates a shutdown of the system before power is lost.
Connecting Power to Systems, PDUs, and a UPS
When you plan for PDUs, note the following:
• Only the top PDU is connected to the UPS.
• The bottom PDU is connected directly to an AC power main.
• The UPS can be connected to the same AC power main that the bottom PDU is
connected to, or the UPS can be connected to another AC power main.
