5.3.2Connecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

If the DLM6C-AA chassis is connected to an American Power Conversion (APC) UPS for protection from a loss of power, a connection from the COM port of a module to the UPS can be made to monitor the status of the UPS. To use the COM port for this purpose, it must be reconfigured to support the UPS application. This procedure is performed from the General Configuration screen of the interface module.

Section 5.15.11, Configuring the COM Port, provides detailed instructions on configuring the COM port for UPS applications. Refer to the UPS documentation for details on how to access the status information.

Use the Console Cable Kit provided with the DLM6C-AA chassis to attach the UPS to the module COM port as shown in Figure 5-2.

Connect the UPS device to the COM port of the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA as follows:

1.Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable to the COM port on the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA.
