Installation Overview

APC Web/SNMP Management Card

The APC AP9606 Web/SNMP management card is a web-based management
tool that allows you to monitor and configure the UPS. The card conforms to
open communication standards such as Telnet, HTTP, and SNMP.
The client software requirements include standard Web browsers such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator Versions 4.0 and above.
Refer to the APC documentation and CD-ROM for information about how to
configure and use this management tool.

Operation

After you install the UPS and power it on, you can expect the following:
• The UPS performs a self-test.
• The batteries begin to charge.
Once the UPS has completed the self-test, you can configure the following
options:
• Voltage sensitivity
• Low battery warning

Self-Test

The UPS automatically performs a self-test when you power it on and every two
weeks afterwards (by default). These automatic self-tests alleviate any
maintenance requirements by eliminating the need for periodic manual self-
tests.
During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the loads using the battery.
• If the self-test passes, the UPS returns to online operation.
• If the self-test fails, the UPS immediately returns to online operation and
lights the replace battery LED. Recharge the battery overnight and perform
the self-test again. If the replace battery LED is still on, replace the battery.
Note: The loads are not affected if the self-test fails.

Charge the Battery

When you connect the UPS to the customer's (utility) power, it charges the
battery. The battery will charge fully during the first four (4) hours of normal
operation. Do not expect full runtime during this initial charge period.
