3. Connect Power and Equipment to the UPS
• Connect the UPS line cord (L6-30 plug) into the electrical outlet.
• Use your equipment’s power cords to connect to the UPS.
Caution:
DO NOT use a standard serial interface cable to connect to the Computer Interface Port on the UPS. Standard
serial interface cables are incompatible with the UPS connector. Use the cable provided with your UPS.
• Turn on all connected equipment.
4. Connect Power to the UPS and Accessories
• Press the UPS’s ON switch to turn on your UPS. This will power-up connected equipment.
• The unit performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and every two weeks thereafter.
• The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power. The battery charges fully during the first
four hours of normal operation. Do not expect full runtime during this initial charge period.
5. Install PowerChute and Accessories
Note:
This UPS is equipped with a SmartSlot for accessories. See the APC Website (www.apcc.com) for available
accessories. If a standard accessory is installed in this UPS, a User’s Manual for the accessory is included in the
package.
For additional computer system security, install PowerChute UPS monitoring software. It provides automatic unattended
shutdown capabilities on most major network operating systems. Once PowerChute is loaded, install the PowerChute®
black communication cable between UPS and computer. See the Software Installation: Instruction Sheet for details.
