8.3 USB Interface Port
The PowerSure PSI has a USB interface port for communication that will work with the built-in
Microsoft Power Manger software on the user’s PC, if so equipped. It will provide UPS status and
manages the automatic orderly shutdown of the computer. The UPS’s USB communications meet
HID standard, version 1.11. All USB models are compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000,
Windows XP and Mac OS 10.2 or later. All USB models ship with a 1.8m (6 ft) USB cable.
8.4 Data Line Protection Connectors
Data line (in and out) connectors are on the rear of the UPS and provide transient voltage surge sup-
pression (TVSS) for Phone/Fax/DSL/Internet/Modem devices.
8.5 UPS Intelligent Communications
The PowerSure PSI is equipped with an Intellislot ® port to provide advanced communication and
monitoring options.
Liebert’s MultiLink software continually monitors the UPS and can shut down your computer or
server in the event of an extended power failure.
MultiLink can also be configured for use without the serial cable when the Intellislot OCWEBCARD
is installed in the UPS. Additionally, MultiLink can be configured to coordinate shutdown across the
network with other computers running MultiLink when you purchase a MultiLink License Kit. For
more information about the Intellislot OCWEBCARD and MultiLink License Kits, visit our Web site
( www.liebert.com ) or contact your local dealer or Liebert representative.
Several option cards are available for use in the Intellislot port of the PowerSure PSI. The Intellislot
OCWEBCARD provides SNMP and Web-based monitoring and control of the UPS across the network.
The Intellislot MultiPort 4 Card allows you to install MultiLink software on four computers and coor-
dinate shutdown in the event of a power failure.
The RELAYCARD-INT provides dry contact relay outputs for custom-wired applications and delivers
support for built-in shutdown for AS/400 systems.
NOTE
The USB, Intellislot and Contact Closure communications operate in parallel. Using the
OCWEBCARD disables the Serial Communications of the DB-9.

CAUTION
To maintain safety (SELV) barriers and for electromagnetic compatibility, signal cables
should be segregated and run separate from all other power cables, where applicable.
