This chapter describes the external and internal server features and components. Overview The HPE G2 R8000 6U UPS features a 6U rack-mount design and offers power protection for loads up to 8000VA/7200W. To benefit from the latest product enhancements, update to the latest version of the UPS firmware and software.
Item Indicator Status Description Online mode The UPS is operating normally online or in high efficiency mode. Battery mode The UPS is on battery mode. Bypass mode The UPS is in bypass mode. Fault The UPS has an active alarm or fault. For more information, see the Troubleshooting section.
Item Description ERM to UPS connection ERM recognition port Remote Power Off (RPO) terminal block 1Gb UPS Network Management Module Remote On/Off (ROO) terminal block Dry contacts communications port USB communications port NOTE: This port is used for UPS firmware updates. For more information, see USB communications port.
Dry contact port CAUTION: Before using the dry contact port, the following cautions must be observed: • The relay output contacts cannot be connected to any utility circuits. • Reinforced insulation to the utility is required. • The relay output contacts have a maximum rating of 250VAC/5A. The UPS has four relay outputs.
Description Not on battery User common On bypass Low battery Load protected On battery n.o. Contact normally open n.o. Contact normally closed ROO allows remote action of the power button to switch the UPS on and off. • When the contact changes from open to closed, the UPS is switched-on (or stays On). •...

NOTE: Leave the RPO connector installed in the RPO port on the UPS even if the RPO function is not needed. The following images illustrate the RPO connections. Figure 4: Internal power supply Figure 5: External power supply Component identification...
Installation Precautions Save these instructions. This document contains important safety instructions that must 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.
• Screws • Washers 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 multiunit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient temperature.
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. •...

2. Remove four screws from the bezel, and then remove the bezel. 3. Remove three screws, and then remove the battery cover. Installation...
4. Insert the battery pack, and then reinstall the battery cover and the bezel. Installing the UPS Before installing the UPS, review and observe all warnings in Precautions. 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.
3. With one person on each side, lift the chassis to rail level and slide the chassis on the mounting rails. 4. Attach the chassis to the rack using the supplied screws. 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.
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. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using different colors for the positive and negative wires. If a connector becomes disconnected and is reconnected with reversed polarity, an RPO is initiated.
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. •...

Battery test There are two types of battery tests: Automated Manual—through either the front panel or the SHUT command. IMPORTANT: UPS on battery mode, LCD, LED, and dry contacts must not be active during the discharge test. Battery test conditions To perform the battery test, all the following conditions must be met.
Manual battery full test The manual battery test is run immediately, even if the UPS is operating in ABM mode, and no test is postponed or scheduled to run in float mode. • ABM mode—the ABM cycle is stopped, the test is performed, and then the ABM cycle is restarted after the test is complete.
Connecting the ERM to the UPS Connect both ends of the split ERM cable to the ERM connectors on the UPS rear panel. To install additional ERMs, connect both ends of the split ERM cable from the next ERM into the connectors on the rear panel of the previous ERM.
Operations Modes of operation The UPS has four modes of operation: • Standby mode • Online mode • Battery mode • Bypass mode 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 Online mode.
• Extended overload • Over temperature • Output short • Hardware failure Configuring the UPS Use the UPS front panel controls to configure the UPS. IMPORTANT: The output voltage of the UPS must be set to the same nominal voltage as the facility input.
