10kW VPOC™ Power System
VP-3103-111U-UG-03 Page 3 of 23 September 2016
Introduction
Virtual Power On Call (VPOC™) is a highly-efficient backup power solution that uses a fraction of the space
of a conventional Uninterruptable Power System (UPS). The 10kW VPOC™ module, along with two Lithium
Ion (Li-ion) battery modules, slides into the 1U VPOC™ Shelf. VPOC automatically manages transitions
between normal (AC) operation and battery mode (DC) to keep IT equipment safe during power
interruptions. An external VRLA battery solution may be substituted for Li-ion batteries for even longer
backup times. For more information about the 10kW VPOC™ Power Shelf, refer to the Lite-On 10kW
VPOC™ Power Shelf Datasheet.
The 10kW Power Module efficiently supplies both main output DC power and standby DC power from
either AC or DC sources. For more information about the 10kW VPOC™ Power Module, refer to the Lite-On
10kW VPOC™ Power Module Datasheet.
This user guide provides instructions to install and use the 10kW VPOC™ Power System. For instructions on
initial startup, refer to the Lite-On VPOC™ System Startup Guide.
