APC AP9607 manual Connecting to Protected Devices

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.
