APC AP9607 manual Connecting to Protected Devices

Connection

To connect the devices, refer to “Connecting the Interface

procedure

Expander: Figure 2” on page 18 and perform the following

steps in the order given.

1 Connect the master server to the (Advanced) com-

puter interface port of the UPS. (See “Master

server versus Interface Expander servers” on page

8.)

Note: A server not supported by PowerChute plus

must use simple signaling with the appropri-

ate cable. (See “Choosing cables: Table 1”

on page 4.)

If an accessory, such as Call-UPS II or

Measure-UPS II, is already using the

(Advanced) computer interface port of the

UPS, connect the master server to the UPS

monitoring port on the accessory. (Accesso-

ries label this port in different ways, but the

function — replicating the computer inter-

face port of the UPS — is the same.)

2 Connect the other server(s) to the Basic ports on

the Interface Expander, using APC cables. See

“Choosing cables: Table 1” on page 4.

Note: Servers connected to the Basic ports of the

Interface Expander use simple signaling

for monitoring the UPS. If these servers use

PowerChute plus, this software must be

configured for simple signaling. See “Con-

figuring PowerChute plus for simple

signaling” on page 9.

3 Connect the power cords of all protected servers

and devices to the power outlets on the UPS.

4 Continue with “Configuring the Interface

Expander” on page 19.
