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. To update the UPS firmware, see the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website.

Connecting the RPO port

WARNING: To meet the requirements stated in NEC (NFPA 70) Articles 645-10 and 645-11, a UPS

IMPORTANT: The remote switch must be in the Off (open) position to enable power to the output
receptacles.
NOTE: Wire the connector block using stranded, nonshielded wire (AWG #22 - #18, or equivalent).

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. To avoid
