ROO
ROO allows remote action of the power button to switch the UPS on and off.
• When the contact changes from open to closed, the UPS is switched-on (or stays On).
• When the contact changes from closed to open, the UPS is powered off (or stays Off).
Figure 3: This figure displays a normally open contact.
NOTE: The on/off control using the power button has priority over the remote control.
RPO port
RPO is used to shut down the UPS remotely. This feature is primarily used for remotely powering down
the UPS if there is an emergency. When RPO is activated, the UPS shuts down the output and all its
power converters immediately. The UPS remains on to alarm the fault.
The RPO circuit is an IEC 60950 safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. This circuit must be separated
from any hazardous voltage circuits by reinforced insulation. The RPO must also meet the following
requirements:
• The RPO cannot be connected to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced insulation to the utility is
required. The RPO switch must have a minimum rating of 27 Vdc and 20 mA and be a dedicated
latching-type switch not tied into any other circuit. The RPO signal must remain active for at least 250
ms for proper operation.
• To ensure that the UPS stops supplying power to the load during any mode of operation, the input
power must be disconnected from the UPS when the RPO function is activated.
10 Component identification

NOTE: Leave the RPO connector installed in the RPO port on the UPS even if the RPO function is not
needed.
The following images illustrate the RPO connections.

12 Installation

• Screws
• Washers
Selecting a site
WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, install the unit in a temperature- and humidity-
controlled indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants.
When selecting a site, consider the following factors:
• Elevated operating ambient temperature—If the equipment is installed in a closed or multiunit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room
ambient temperature. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the operating
temperature. For more information, see Environmental specifications.
• Reduced air flow—In the rack, the rate of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment must
not be compromised.
• Circuit overloading—Consideration must be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings must be used when addressing this
concern.
• Reliable earthing—Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment must be maintained. Particular
attention must be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such
as the use of power strips.
• Electrical requirements—All models require a dedicated (unshared) branch circuit, suitably rated for
the specific UPS as stated in the UPS input specifications.
Preparing the equipment
Procedure
1. Check the battery recharge date specified on the label that is affixed to the shipping carton.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the battery if the recharge date has passed. If the date on the battery
recharge date label has passed without the battery being recharged, contact an HPE authorized
service representative for directions.
2. Transport the packaged unit to its installation location.
3. Unpack the equipment near the rack where the unit will be assembled.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the
rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
Installation 13

Installing the mounting rails
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The leveling feet are extended to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
• If it is a single-rack installation, the stabilizing feet are attached to the rack.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason.
Procedure
1. Extend the brackets to the appropriate length.
2. Insert screws through the rack into the mounting rail and the front and back of each mounting bracket.

Connecting the serial communications port
CAUTION: Use only the computer interface cable supplied with the UPS to connect the
communications port to the host computer.
IMPORTANT: Power protector software requires the communications port to be appropriately
cabled to the host computer.
NOTE: This port is only used for firmware upgrades. To update the UPS firmware, see the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise website.
Connecting the RPO port
WARNING: The pins on the RPO port are polarity sensitive. Be sure to verify polarity while
connecting the RPO port.
WARNING: To meet the requirements stated in NEC (NFPA 70) Articles 645-10 and 645-11, a UPS
installed in a computer equipment room must be connected to an RPO circuit.
IMPORTANT: The remote switch must be in the Off (open) position to enable power to the output
receptacles.
Installation 17

NOTE: Wire the connector block using stranded, nonshielded wire (AWG #22 - #18, or equivalent).
Separate wire pairs are attached to a single, normally open contact in a parallel connection. Hewlett
Packard Enterprise recommends using different colors for the positive and negative wires.
If a connector becomes disconnected and is reconnected with reversed polarity, an RPO is initiated. To
avoid RPO port disconnect:
• Minimize wire strain while connecting the RPO port.
• Avoid allowing the wires to hang in the rear of the UPS.
• Use tie wraps and tie wrap blocks to secure the wires tightly to the rack and the rear of the UPS.
For more information about the RPO port, see RPO port.
Connecting the ground bonding cable
The ground bonding screw is provided as an attachment point for conductors. Use a ground bonding
cable if the rack contains any conductors for the purpose of functional grounding or bonding of
ungrounded metal parts.
