    EPO Requirement for NS2100 Systems NS2100 systems without an optional UPS (such as an HPE R5000 UPS) installed in the modular cabinet do not contain batteries capable of supplying more than 750 volt-amperes (VA) for more that five minutes, so they do not require connection to a site EPO switch.

  • Page 39: Electrical Power And Grounding Quality

    If an EPO switch or relay connector is required for your site, contact your Hewlett Packard Enterprise representative or see the HPE 3 Phase UPS User Guide for connectors and wiring for the HPE R12000/3 UPS. This guide is on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website at: http://www.hpe.com/support/UPS_3_Phase_Manuals...

    Guide at: http://www.hpe.com/support/UPS_3_Phase_Manuals If you install a UPS other than the HPE model R5000 or R12000/3 UPS in each modular cabinet of an NS2100 system, these requirements must be met to ensure the system can survive a total AC power fail: The UPS output voltage can support the HPE PDU input voltage requirements.

  • Page 41: Cooling And Humidity Control

    If your applications require a UPS that supports the entire system or even a UPS or motor generator for all computer and support equipment in the site, you must plan the site’s electrical infrastructure accordingly. Cooling and Humidity Control Do not rely on an intuitive approach to design cooling or to simply achieve an energy balance—that is, summing up to the total power dissipation from all the hardware and sizing a comparable air conditioning capacity.

  • Page 42: Dust And Pollution Control

    Dust and Pollution Control NS2100 systems do not have air filters. Any computer equipment can be adversely affected by dust and microscopic particles in the site environment. Airborne dust can blanket electronic components on printed circuit boards, inhibiting cooling airflow and causing premature failure from excess heat, humidity, or both.

  • Page 123 Once the downstream UPS is in this state, it still might not immediately perceive stable input power. The downstream UPS is thus compromised until it achieves a lock on stable input power and is able to recharge its batteries. Such problems are very difficult to predict. Their occurrence is a function of the output characteristics of the primary UPS, the input characteristics of the downstream UPS, and the load characteristics of the other devices deriving power from the upstream UPS.
