Connection (optional)

Your UPS will function properly without these connections.

Serial Port Connection

Using the serial cable provided, connect a serial port from a computer to a serial port on your UPS. Install on the computer the Tripp Lite power protection software appropriate to its operating system. If your UPS features two serial ports, a second serial computer may be connected.

USB Port Connection

Using the USB cable provided, connect a USB port from a computer to a USB port on your UPS. Install on the comput- er the Tripp Lite power protection software appropriate to its operating system. If your UPS features two USB ports, a second USB computer may be connected.

EPO Port Connection

Using the RJ-11 cable provided, connect the Emergency Power Off (EPO) port of your UPS to a user-supplied normally closed or normally open switch according to the circuit diagram at the right. The EPO port is not a phone line surge suppressor; do not connect a phone line to this port.

External Battery Pack Connection

Since your UPS has internal batteries, external batteries are only needed to extend runtime. Adding external batteries will increase recharge time as well as runtime.

The diagram to the right shows the location of your UPS’s External Battery Connector, where you will insert the cable that is attached to your battery pack. Complete installation and mounting instructions for your battery pack appear in the battery pack’s owner’s manual. Make sure that cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result during

battery connection; this is normal.	7
