Testing The New Battery Module - HP R12000 XR Maintenance And Service Manual

Testing the New Battery Module

After installing the new battery module, press the Test/Alarm Reset button. Refer to the UPS
user guide for more information on initiating a self-test.
IMPORTANT: The UPS schedules the battery test, but does not execute the test until the batteries are
at least 90 percent charged.
If the installation has been successful, the Alarm LED is illuminated.
If the installation has not been successful, the Alarm LED turns red and the LCD menu
indicates an alarm. If this occurs, repeat the procedures in the "Removing and Replacing the
Battery Module" section of this chapter, and check the battery terminal connections. If the
Alarm LED is still red, refer to the section, "LCD Alarm Troubleshooting," in Chapter 5 for
more information on the cause of the alarm.
IMPORTANT: The batteries charge to 80 percent of their capacity within approximately three hours.
Charge the batteries for at least 24 hours before you use the UPS to supply backup power to devices.
The load may not be fully protected for 48 hours.
Conducting a Battery Commissioning Test
When replacing battery modules, you should run a battery commissioning test. This test sets a
base line so that the UPS accurately displays battery runtime. For information on how to
enable the battery commissioning test, refer to the section, "Setting the Hardware
Configuration," in Chapter 3.
NOTE: The battery commissioning test runs in the background. After it is enabled, the test can take up
to three days to run.
