Connecting Share-UPScontinued

Connection

6 Connect the master server to port 1, the Advanced

procedure,

port of Share-UPS, using the smart-signaling cable

continued

(940-0024) supplied with your UPS. (See “Master

 

server versus other servers” on page 11.)

 

Note: A server not supported by PowerChute plus

 

must use simple signaling with the appropri-

 

ate cable. (See “Choosing simple signaling

 

cables: Table 1” on page 4.)

 

If an accessory, such as Measure-UPS II or

 

an Expansion Chassis, 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.)

 

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

 

Share-UPS, using APC cables. See “Choosing

 

simple signaling cables: Table 1” on page 4.

 

Note: Servers connected to the Basic ports of

 

Share-UPS use simple signaling for moni-

 

toring 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 12.

After you have completed the connection procedure, con-
