vi 6000 VA UPS and 6000 VA EBM: Installation and Maintenance Guide

The following general safety information should be used for all rack-mounted
devices:
DANGER
Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack
system:
vHeavy equipment—personal injury or equipment damage might result if
mishandled.
vAlways lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
vAlways install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
vTo avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading,
always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of
the rack cabinet.
vRack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do
not place objects on top of rack-mounted devices.
vEach rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to
disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to
disconnect power during servicing.
vConnect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed
in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device
installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different
rack cabinet.
vAn electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous
voltage on the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the
system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet
is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
(R001 part 1 of 2)
Safety vii

CAUTION:
vDo not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures
will exceed the manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all
your rack-mounted devices.
vDo not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure
that air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit
used for air flow through the unit.
vConsideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the
supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power
connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in
the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
v(For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the
rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more
than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out
more than one drawer at a time.
v(For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved
for servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the
drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to
become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
(R001 part 2 of 2)
Important:
1. To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit
overcurrent protection with an ampere rating in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 or your local electrical code.

2. For permanently connected equipment: Make sure that a readily accessible
disconnect device is incorporated in the building installation wiring.
3. You can connect only one extended battery module to the UPS.
4. For input voltage rating 115/200 – 127/220 V ac, the IBM 6000 VA LCD 4U
Rack UPS (200 V / 208 V) must be connected phase-to-phase (and not
phase-to-neutral), so that the input voltage of the UPS is 200 V or 220 V.

xii 6000 VA UPS and 6000 VA EBM: Installation and Maintenance Guide

Chapter 1. Introduction
The IBM®line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) models are designed
to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges from reaching your servers and
other valuable electronic equipment. The UPS filters small utility line fluctuations
and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting
from the utility line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery
until the utility line returns to safe levels or the battery is fully discharged.
Each UPS has the following communication features: an RS-232 port, a USB port,
and a communication bay for an optional IBM Network Management Card. The
following additional optional features are available: an IBM Extended Battery
Module (6000 VA 3U) and an IBM Environmental Monitoring Probe.
The information in this document is for the following UPS and extended battery
module models:
vIBM 6000 VA LCD 4U Rack UPS (200 V / 208 V)
vIBM 6000 VA LCD 4U Rack UPS (230 V)
vIBM 6000 UPS 3U Extended Battery Module
This document contains the following information:
vSetting up the UPS
vConnecting an extended battery module to the UPS
vStarting and configuring the UPS
vSolving problems
If firmware and documentation updates are available, you can download them from
the IBM web site. The UPS might have features that are not described in the
documentation that comes with the UPS, and the documentation might be updated
occasionally to include information about those features, or technical updates might
be available to provide additional information that is not included in the UPS
documentation. To check for updates, go to http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM website. Procedures for locating
firmware and documentation might vary slightly from what is described in this
document.
The UPS and extended battery module come with a limited warranty. For more
information, see the Warranty Information document that comes with the product.
See the Rack Installation Instructions document for complete rack installation
instructions.
For the IBM Redbooks Product Guide for the IBM 6000 VA LCD 4U Rack UPS, see
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0793.html?Open.
Important: Do not power the 6000 VA UPS from another UPS.
