Installation and Configuration
DANGER: Observe the following instruction to help prevent an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury:
The backup power supply contains LETHAL VOLTAGES. All repairs and service
should be performed by AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. There are
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the backup power supply.
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety
instructions that came with the system.
Unpacking the Solution
Unpack the solution and identify each item.
Installing the Rails, the System, and the Backup Power Supply in a Rack
Assemble the rails and install the system and backup power supply (BPS) in the
rack. Follow the safety instructions and the rack installation instructions
provided with the solution.

4 Getting Started With Your System
Connecting the Battery in the BPS Power Module
Removing the Power Module Front Cover
On the right side of the front cover, slide the latch to the left to retract the latch
hook. This hook secures the front cover to the right side of the chassis. Pull the
right side of the front cover from the chassis. Slide the front cover to the right to
disengage the hook. This hook secures the front cover to the left side of the chassis.

Getting Started With Your System 5
Removing the Battery
Pull the battery out of the power module.
Rotating the Battery
Rotate the battery 180° so the blind mate connector faces toward the back of
the power module chassis.
NOTE: Ensure that the arrow on the yellow label is pointing up.

6 Getting Started With Your System
Reinserting the Battery
Align the battery with the power module and reinsert the battery. Ensure that
the battery is fully seated in the power module. If the battery is not fully
inserted into the power module, the battery front cover will not close properly.
NOTE: Always connect the battery pack before connecting the power cable.
NOTE: You will not observe the blind mate connectors as they plug into the
receptacle in the back of the power module, but a small amount of arcing may
occur when connecting the battery pack. This is normal and does not damage the
unit or present any safety concern.

Getting Started With Your System 7
Securing the Power Module Front Cover
WARNING: For safety, always attach the power module front cover as soon as the
battery pack is inserted and connected.
WARNING: Align the front cover carefully before securing it to the power
module. For safety, do not allow the power module front cover to come in contact
with the battery pack.
On the left side of the first front cover, insert the hook into the open slot on the
left side of the chassis. On the right side of the front cover, slide the latch to the
left to retract the latch hook. Push the right side of the front cover forward to
the chassis. Release the latch to set the hook into the open slot on the right side
of the chassis.

8 Getting Started With Your System
Inserting the Power Modules
Insert the power modules into the chassis module bay with the back panels
toward the back of the chassis.

10 Getting Started With Your System
Connecting the Power Cable(s)
Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system.
CAUTION: Both the 120 V (LV) and the 230 V (HV) power modules provide IEC 320
C-13 output receptacles. Only use a power cord rated for the input power source
rating labeled next to the input connector on the power module back panel.
CAUTION: You must always verify the voltage rating of the BPS. Connecting a 230
Vac into a 120 V BPS will damage the BPS.
Open the spring-loaded interlock cover for the input connector and connect the
power cable to the BPS.

Getting Started With Your System 11
Securing the Power Cable(s)
Bend the system power cable(s) into a loop as shown in the illustration and
secure the cables to the brackets using the provided strap. Plug the other end of
one power cable to a grounded electrical outlet and the other cable to the BPS.
For more information, see "Cabling the Solution" on page 9.
Secure the power cable connected to the BPS as shown in the illustration.

12 Getting Started With Your System
Turning On the Solution
Turn on the components in the following order:
1 The BPS
2 The PowerVault NX3500 systems
Installing the Optional Bezel
Install the bezel for the system (optional).

Getting Started With Your System 13
