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.
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 HPE authorized service representative for directions.
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. •...
4. With one person on each side, lift the chassis to rail level and slide the chassis on the mounting rails. 5. Attach the chassis to the rack using the supplied screws. Connecting the battery Procedure 1. Remove the bezel from the front of the UPS. 2.

3. Press the bezel to the right, and then open the front of the UPS. 4. Connect the battery cables. Installation...
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. IMPORTANT: Power protector software requires the communications port to be appropriately cabled to the host computer. NOTE: This port is only used for firmware upgrades.
• Minimize wire strain while connecting the RPO 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. For more information about the RPO port, see RPO port.

IMPORTANT: When the UPS is initially installed, the batteries may not be fully charged. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that the batteries charge for at least 24 hours before supplying backup power to devices to ensure that full battery runtime is available. Battery test There are two types of battery tests: Automated...
• In ABM mode, the ABM cycle is restarted after the test is complete. • In constant charge mode, the charging phase is restarted after the test is complete. 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.
4. With one person on each side, lift the chassis to rail level and slide the chassis on the mounting rails. 5. Attach the chassis to the rack using the supplied screws. 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.
