4.7.4 Powering the APC Silcon Triple Chassis
The APC Silcon Triple Chassis supplies power to the installed management peripheral cards and to the Monitoring port, allowing you to power multiple management peripherals.
4.7.4.1 AP9604S Power Considerations
The AP9604S model of the APC Silcon Triple Chassis receives its power from the UPS through the power connector of the Silcon UPS cable. If the total current required by all the installed management peripherals exceeds 500 mA, you must use a 24 VDC power adapter. To find out whether you need additional power, see “Determining power requirements”.
4.7.4.2 Power Adapters
APC offers two models of 24 VDC power adapter.
•The standard adapter (AP9505) can provide an additional 400 mA.
•The universal adapter (AP9505i) can provide 850 mA.
4.7.4.3Using a Power Adapter
To use the adapter, plug it into a protected power outlet and into the Optional Power port of the APC Silcon Triple Chassis.
NOTICE!
If the power adapter loses power because of a UPS shutdown, its attached management peripherals may not operate properly, thus adversely affecting the UPS and its protected equipment.
4.7.4.4 AP9604SR Power Considerations
The AP9604SR model receives its power from the UPS through the supplied 24 VDC universal adapter. The total current required by your management peripherals must not exceed the 850 mA limit of the power adapter. See ““Determining power requirements”.
4.7.4.5 Determining Power Requirements:
To determine the total amount of current required by your management peripherals, add the individual current requirements for each management peripheral to be installed with the APC Silcon Triple Chassis to the current requirements of the chassis itself. Refer to this table
