REPO port
The UPS includes an isolated REPO port. When properly wired, the REPO feature enables the power at
the UPS output receptacles to be switched off from a remote location. To use this feature, the REPO port
must be connected to a remote, normally open switch (not supplied). The REPO switch is used in
conjunction with a main disconnect device that removes the AC source from the input of the UPS. When
the switch is closed:
•The REPO feature immediately powers down protected devices and does not utilize the orderly
shutdown procedure initiated by power management software.
•The REPO feature shuts down UPS units operating under either utility or battery power.

Component identification 12
NOTE: If the UPS was operating on battery power when the remote switch was closed, no
power is available to the load devices until utility power is restored and the UPS has been
manually powered up.
To restore power to the load devices after the REPO feature is activated, press the On button after the AC
source is reconnected to the UPS.
IMPORTANT: Pressing and holding the On button without utility present normally initiates a
battery start and the UPS assumes the load. However, if the On button is pressed and a REPO
is detected, battery start is inhibited and the UPS is not able to assume the load. The
electronics module fan spins and the General Alarm LED and an audible alarm are active as
long as the On button is held.
To power down the entire network in the event of an emergency, the REPO ports of multiple UPS units can
be connected to a single switch.

Installation
Precautions
Save these instructions. This document contains important safety instructions that should be followed
during installation, operation, and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
WARNING: A risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels exists.
The installation of options and routine maintenance and service of this product must be
performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions, and
hazards associated with AC power products.
37 kg
82 lb
This symbol indicates that the UPS exceeds the recommended weight for one
individual to handle safely.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment,
observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for
manual material handling.
45 kg
100 lb
This symbol indicates that the ERM exceeds the recommended weight for one
individual to handle safely.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment,
observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for
manual material handling.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury from earth conductor leakage current:
•Do not operate the UPS while disconnected from the utility power source.
•Disconnect load devices before disconnecting the UPS from the utility power source.
Preparing to install the hardware
Before installing the hardware:
1. Be sure the necessary tools and materials (on page 13) are available.
2. Select an installation site ("Selecting a site" on page 14).
3. Prepare the equipment ("Readying the equipment" on page 14) for installation in the rack.
Tools and materials
The following tools are required for installation:
•Phillips screwdriver
•10-mm hex-nut driver
The following items are supplied with the rack:
•Screws

Installation 14
•Hex nuts
•Cage nuts
•Cage nut-fitting tool
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 multi-unit 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 ("Environmental specifications" on page 49).
•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 should 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 should be used when addressing
this concern.
•Reliable earthing—Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should 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 "Input specifications ("UPS input specifications" on page 46)" .
Readying the equipment
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 HP
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.
Installing the mounting rails

Installation 15
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.
•The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
•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.
NOTE: If preparing the rails for integrated shipping, follow the same instructions as in
"Installing the UPS (on page 18)."
NOTE: Mounting hardware for square- and round-holed racks is included in the UPS kit.
1. Loosen the wing nuts or hex nuts, and then extend the brackets to the desired length.

Installation 16
2. Insert screws through the rack into the mounting rail and the front of each mounting bracket.
3. Install cage nuts or clip nuts into the rear of the rack.

Installation 17
4. Insert screws through the mounting rail into the cage nuts or clip nuts.
5. Tighten the wing nuts or hex nuts.

Installation 18
6. Install the rear stabilization bracket using hex nuts. Wait until the unit is installed and the brackets
are adjusted before tightening the nuts.
Installing the UPS
Before installing the unit, review and adhere to all warnings provided in "Precautions (on page 13)."
WARNING: A risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment exists. Uneven loading of
equipment in the rack might cause the rack to become unstable. Install the heavier
components first, and then continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
1. Install the mounting rails ("Installing the mounting rails" on page 14).
2. With one person on each side, lift the chassis to rail level and slide the chassis on the mounting rails.
3. Attach the chassis to the rack using the supplied screws.

Installation 19
Connecting the battery leads
Attaching the UPS front bezel
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 management software requires the communications port to be
appropriately cabled to the host computer.

Installation 20
Connecting the REPO port
WARNING: The pins on the REPO port are polarity sensitive. Be sure to verify polarity while
connecting the REPO 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 a REPO circuit.
IMPORTANT: The remote switch must be in the Off (open) position to enable power to the
output receptacles.
