you:

•technical support (in case of difficulty)
Zultys makes each of these available to you under different terms and conditions. This chapter
describes what is offered and the conditions of the coverage.

installation services from a third party contractor.
If you have purchased the BPS12 from Zultys and now think that you need assistance to install
and configure the system, you should obtain that assistance. You should not proceed with the
installation and configuration. Zultys may be able to help you locate a suitable third party to help
you, but Zultys and the technical support at Zultys cannot assist you directly with the installation.

2.4.2 Contacting your Reseller
If you bought your product from a reseller and not directly from Zultys, you should contact them
first about questions related to the product. The reseller that sold the product to you has charged
you money for this support and you should therefore expect that they will assist you.
Often, a reseller will provide you a maintenance contract as part of your purchase, so that the
reseller will support you for a period of time after you receive the product. Verify with your
purchasing department that you have a support contract for your BPS12.
If the reseller is unable or unwilling to assist you, or if you bought the product directly from
Zultys, contact Zultys’ technical support directly.
2.4.3 Using Zultys’ Technical Support
Zultys provides you with 30 days free technical support with the purchase of a system. The period
of technical support starts on the first day that you make a call to technical support and ends on
the 30th calendar day from the first time that you called.

and track your support cases. You can log into the system at anytime create a case or view the

Receiving the Equipment
3.1 Initial Inspection
When the shipment of your BPS12 arrives, inspect the shipping boxes for external damages, and
record any discrepancies. Save the boxes and packing material in case you need to ship the system
to another facility. Always retain the packing materials if you suspect that part of the shipment is
damaged — the carrier may need to inspect them.
Warning Do not attempt to use the equipment if it appears damaged. Immediately report
the damages to Zultys or a local Zultys sales representative.
3.2 Shipment Contents
3.2.1 Verify Contents
There are few hardware options for the BPS12. Upon delivery of your system, inspect the packing
list, and confirm that all items listed on that note were received. Compare the packing slip with
your purchase order. Your BPS12 is usually shipped with an ac power cord, one battery power
cable, rack mount brackets, and sufficient screws to securely mount the power supply to your
equipment rack.
Ensure that there are no discrepancies before you start installing the device as described in
chapter 5, starting on page 21.
Important If you suspect that there are discrepancies or that the equipment is not fully
functional, contact Zultys or your Zultys sales representative immediately.
Retain all packing materials and the shipping note for Zultys or its representative
to inspect. ZULTYS CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU CLAIM THAT
AN ITEM IS MISSING, AND YOU HAVE NOT INFORMED ZULTYS WITHIN
THREE DAYS OF RECEIPT, OR IF YOU HAVE NOT RETAINED ALL PACKING
MATERIALS FOR INSPECTION.

12
BPS12 Hardware Manual
3.2.2 Serial Numbers
Verify the serial numbers of each item and compare them with the serial numbers on the packing
lists. The serial number is a five digit alphanumeric code printed on a white barcode label.
3.3 In Case of Damage or Malfunction
Notify your Zultys sales or service representative under any of the following conditions:
•the shipping container or any of the contents appear damaged
•an item is missing
•there is a discrepancy between the packing slip and the equipment received
•the equipment does not function correctly
Your local Zultys sales representative will arrange for repair or replacement, at Zultys’s
discretion. In certain cases, Zultys may require a claim settlement.
3.4 Returning Items for Repair or Replacement
3.4.1 Warranty Coverage
Before returning merchandise to Zultys for repair or replacement, you must ensure that the items
are under warranty. Read chapter 2, starting on page 5, for details on the warranty of Zultys’s
products. If you are unsure about the warranty of your merchandise, call your local Zultys sales
representative for clarification. You must obtain an RMA before returning any merchandise from
Zultys; this includes equipment covered under warranty.
For merchandise not under warranty, Zultys offers extended warranty. Call your local Zultys
sales representative for pricing on extended warranty for your merchandise.
3.4.2 Obtaining RMA Number
If you believe that something is wrong with the equipment, call Zultys’s inside sales department
to obtain a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number. If the problem is technical in
nature, Zultys may first try to diagnose the problem over the telephone. If the problem cannot be
resolved over the telephone, Zultys will issue an RMA number and give you specific instructions
for the return of the merchandise to Zultys’s facilities.
If you have purchased Zultys’s products through a distributor outside the US, contact the
distributor for specific instructions. Zultys issues RMA numbers for customers who buy its
products directly from Zultys. Distributors will offer their own service and support for Zultys’s
products.
3.4.3 Describing the Problem
If you are returning equipment to Zultys for service, attach a tag or sheet of paper to the
equipment giving the following details:
•your company or institution’s name, address, and phone number

3.4.4 Accessories
Do not return any of the accessories with the equipment unless you suspect that one of them is
faulty. If you return an accessory, place a tag on it that clearly identifies it as yours, and briefly
explain the problem.
3.4.5 Packing
Wherever possible, use the original packing materials to ship the equipment. If these are not
available, containers and cushioning material similar to those originally used are available from
Zultys.
If it is inconvenient to obtain supplies from Zultys, use a strong, triple-walled shipping carton.
Place about 70 mm (3 in) of cushioning material around all sides of the equipment.
Zultys is not responsible for any damage that occurs during shipment back to the factory.
3.4.6 Shipping
Obtain from your nearest Zultys sales or service representative the correct address to which you
should return the equipment. Clearly mark the container with Zultys’s address and your own
address. Ship the package prepaid and insured to Zultys.
The method of shipment which Zultys will return repaired merchandise back to your facility will
be the same method by which you shipped the merchandise to Zultys. For example, if you
shipped merchandise to Zultys by ground shipment, Zultys will return the merchandise to you
by ground shipment. If the merchandise must be repaired and returned to you as soon as
possible, you must arrange for the merchandise to be shipped to Zultys by overnight shipment.
3.4.7 Correspondence
In any correspondence subsequent to the return of equipment, always refer to the equipment by

4.2.2 Rear Side of BPS12
The rear side of the BPS12, shown in figure 4-2, is the side that has the power connectors, fuses,
and standby switch. The numbers in the figure correspond to the following descriptions:
1. Master output fuse – This 16 A, 5 x 20 mm, quick acting, high current fuse is in series with the
–48VDC that is supplied to the output. This fuse protects all six dc power outputs. Replace
this fuse only with a fuse, obtained from Zultys, of the same rating.
2. Individual output fuse – One fuse is provided for each dc power output. Each fuse is a 10 A
5 x 20 mm quick acting, high current fuse. Fuses are in series with their dc power output.
Replace this fuse only with a fuse, obtained from Zultys, of the same rating.
3. dc power output – The BPS12 provides six DC power outputs of –48 Vdc. You can connect each
output to an MX250 or an MX1200. You may also connect this output to other BPS12 power
supply power outputs when connecting multiple BPS12 units in parallel. When connecting
the dc power output to these devices, you must only use the battery power cable supplied
by Zultys.
4. ac input – Provides a universal fused input for ac power. You can insert 100 Vac to 240 Vac at
47 Hz to 63 Hz.
5. Power LED – See section 4.3.1 on page 17 for a description of the Power LED.
6. Load LED – See section 4.3.2 on page 17 for a description of the Load LED.
7. Status LED – See section 4.3.3 on page 18 for a description of the Status LED.
8. Standby Switch – The standby switch connects the dc power source to the dc power outputs.
When the switch is turned off, the BPS12 does not provide power through any of the dc
power outputs. The BPS12 provides power through all dc power outputs when the switch is
turned on.
9. Serial Number – This is the serial number that identifies the BPS12 chassis. Refer to this
number when identifying the system to a technical support representative or when
returning the BPS12 for repair or replacement.
