APC AP9607 manual Introduction

Introduction

Overview	The UPS Interface Expander (AP9607) is an American
	Power Conversion (APC) SmartSlot™ accessory that pro-
	vides two additional computer interface ports for your APC
	UPS equipped with a SmartSlot accessory slot. It allows the
	UPS to work in conjunction with your power management
	software to provide safe system shutdown in extended
	power outages for up to three network servers or other
	devices.
	Since the computer interface port of the UPS remains avail-
	able while using the Interface Expander, it is possible to
	provide advanced UPS and power management functions to
	all protected devices. You can provide power management
	with APC PowerChute© plus software and UPS accessories
	such as the APC Web/SNMP Management Card (AP9606)
	for network connectivity and the Call-UPS©II (AP9208,
	AP9608) remote management device.
	The Interface Expander draws power from the UPS. It
	monitors the UPS and reports power conditions (e.g., On
	Battery, Low Battery, On Line) to all attached devices.
