American Power Conversion RT 1000/2000 user manual Turn on the UPS

6.TURN ON THE UPS

Make sure the battery is connected before turning on the UPS! Press the button on the front panel to power up your UPS. This will power up connected equipment if that equipment is turned on.

The UPS charges its battery when it is connected to utility power. The battery charges fully during the first twenty four hours of normal operation. Do not expect full run time during this initial charge period.

The unit performs a self-test automatically when turned on and every two weeks thereafter (by de- fault). Refer to the User Configurable Items section of this manual, below, for details on changing the default interval.

To turn on the UPS when no utility power is present, see the Cold Start function in the Operations section of this manual.

7.ACCESSORIES (OPTIONAL)

This UPS is equipped with an accessory slot. See the APC website, www.apc.com, for available ac- cessories.

For additional computer system security, install PowerChute Plus®, Smart-UPS monitoring soft- ware. It provides automatic unattended shutdown capabilities on most major network operating sys- tems. PowerChute Plus® and its documentation are included on the CD that is packed with this UPS.
