4. Connect devices such as printers, scanner sor fax machines into the Surge
Protected Outlets. (Note that they will not be supplied with battery power
during a power failure.)
Optionally, you can do the following:
1. Connect the USB port of your UPS to a USB port on your computer using
the cable provided. Install the Power Management Utility from the
included CD.
2. Plug a single telephone line into the IN jack. Plug a telephone, a modem
from your computer or a fax device into the OUT jack on the UPS; a 2 m (6
ft) cord set is included for this purpose.
To install the UPS 500 option:
1. Plug the UPS into an electrical outlet that does not share a circuit with a
heavy electrical load, for example an air condition or refrigerator. All the
UPS LEDs will light and the UPS will beep as it conducts a 10-second
self-test. When the self-test is complete, only the Line LED should remain
lit. Check the "Troubleshooting" on page 1-9 if the Battery/Overload LED is
lit or blinking.
2. Determine the total VA or wattage draw of all the equipment you plan on
connecting to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets. Look
on the equipment nameplate for this information. If the equipment is listed
in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. For
example, 1 amp x120 = 120 VA. The total VA for all equipment cannot
exceed the UPS's output capacity.
3. Plug your computer and monitor into the Battery Backup Protected/Surge
Protected outlets. (These outlets provide both surge and battery backup
protection.)
Note: Do not plug laser printers into these outlets.
4. Insert devices such as printers, scanners or fax machines into the Surge
Protected Outlets. (These devices are not supplied with battery power
during a power failure.)
Optionally, you can do the following:
1. Connect the DB9 port of your UPS to a DB9 port on your computer using
the cable provided. Install Power Management Utility from the included
CD. This installation step is optional; your UPS will function properly
without this connection
2. Plug a single telephone line into the IN jack. Plug a telephone, modem
from your computer or fax device into either or both of the two OUT jacks;
a 2 m (6 ft) cord is included for this purpose. This installation step is
optional; your UPS will function properly without this connection.
