Tools and materials

The following tools are required for installation:

???Phillips screwdriver

???10-mm hex-nut driver

The following items are supplied with the rack:

???Screws

???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 humidity-controlled 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. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the operating temperature.

???Reduced air flow???In the rack, the rate of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment must not be compromised.

???Circuit overloading???Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

???Reliable earthing???Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such as the use of power strips.

???Electrical requirements???All models require a dedicated (unshared) branch circuit, suitably rated for the specific UPS as stated in "Input specifications" in the user guide.

Readying the equipment

1.Check the battery recharge date specified on the label that is affixed to the shipping carton.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the battery if the recharge date has passed. If the date on the battery recharge date label has passed without the battery being recharged, contact an HP authorized service representative for directions.

2.Transport the packaged unit to its installation location.

3.Unpack the equipment near the rack where the unit will be assembled.

CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.

Installing the mounting rails

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.

NOTE: If preparing the rails for integrated shipping, follow the same instructions as in "Installing the UPS ("Installing the UPS in a rack" on page 3)."

NOTE: Mounting hardware for square- and round-holed racks is included in the UPS kit.

1.Loosen the wing nuts or hex nuts, and then extend the brackets to the desired length.

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 wing nuts. Wait until the unit is installed and the brackets are adjusted before tightening the nuts.

CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.

1.Install the mounting rails ("Installing the mounting rails" on page 2).

2.Install the mounting ears on the chassis using the screws provided.

Connecting the battery leads

Attaching the UPS front bezel

Connecting the USB communications port

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.

???Use tie wraps and tie wrap blocks to secure the wires tightly to the rack and the rear of the UPS.

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.

For more information about the REPO port, see "REPO port" in the user guide.

For information about verifying the REPO connection, see "Verifying the REPO port connection" in the user guide.

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.

Connecting the UPS to utility power

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.

Connecting devices to the UPS

CAUTION: Do not plug laser printers into the UPS output receptacles. The instantaneous current drawn by this type of printer can overload the UPS.

Before connecting devices, verify that the UPS will not overload by checking that the ratings of the devices do not exceed the UPS capacity. If the equipment rating is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by the selected output voltage to determine the VA.

After verifying that the UPS will not overload (depending on your model):

???Connect the device power cords to the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS.

-or-

???Connect devices to the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS using the IEC-to-IEC power cords included with the UPS.

To provide additional receptacles:

???Plug a PDU into the PDU output receptacle. The PDU output receptacle is part of load segment 1 and can be turned off and on using power management software.

???Plug an extension bar into any IEC-320-C19 receptacle to yield eight additional IEC-320-C13 receptacles.

Connecting the UPS cord retention clips

NOTE: UPS appearance might vary depending on the specific unit installed.

Charging the UPS batteries

With the UPS in Standby mode, 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:

???80 percent of their capacity within 3 hours

???100 percent of their capacity within 48 hours

Starting power to the load

Start power to the load by placing the UPS in Operate mode.

IMPORTANT: AC power must be available the first time the UPS is started.

Installing the UPS as a tower

Before installing the unit, review and adhere to all warnings provided in "Precautions (on page 1)."

Connecting the battery leads

Rotating the logo badge

Gently pull out the logo badge, rotate it 90 degrees, and then replace it in the bezel.

Attaching the UPS front bezel

Attaching the tower conversion stands

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, the tower conversion stands must be properly attached when the unit is installed as a tower.

Using the preinstalled screws, attach the tower conversion stands to the unit.

Continuing the installation

To continue the UPS installation, follow the instructions starting with "Connecting the serial communications port (on page 4)."
