Installing Accessories
Introduction
Read the paragraphs in this section to become familiar with
the process of installing other APC accessories with your
Silcon Triple Chassis. When you are ready to proceed, fol-
low the procedure in “Installing accessories: procedure” on
page 17.
Accessory types
There are two basic types of APC accessories that work
with the Silcon Triple Chassis:
• SmartSlot accessories, which fit into APC accessories
that are equipped with a SmartSlot housing.
• External accessories, which connect to the Monitor-
ing (or Advanced) port of APC accessories.
Note: The name of the port varies from product to
product, but its purpose is the same—to repli-
cate the UPS communications port.
Order of
accessories
Because the UPS signals are passed from accessory to
accessory, you must install APC accessories in the correct
order for them to work together properly. See “Priority of
APC accessories: Table 2” on page 16.
