5-10 Installing Rack Components

Connecting Your Master and Protected servers (BSUs)

To connect your master and protected servers, perform the following steps:

1. As the installation progresses, connect the power cables from individual

system components to the receptacles of the AC distribution panel located in
the rear of the UPS. See Figure 5-8, F.

2. Designate one server to be your master server and connect the black smart

signaling cable (Figure 5-8, C) received with the PowerChute

®

plus option,

between a server serial port and the UPS smart signaling port.

3. On your configuration worksheet, note which server and serial port are

connected as master. The System Administrator will need this information
when loading and configuring PowerChute

®

plus software.

4. Using the gray simple signaling cable (Figure 5-8, A) from the interface kit,

connect the server(s) being protected to the basic monitoring ports 1 and 2 of
the interface expander accessory.

5. On your configuration worksheet, identify each protected server and its

connection to the basic monitoring ports.

6. Deliver the configuration worksheet to the System Administrator. This

information is required to properly configure PowerChute

®

plus software.
