1.Verify that each power supply installed in the chassis has a dedicated AC source or DC source circuit.
2.Refer to the power supply’s kVA rating as a sizing criteria in determining the output required by the UPS. The power supply’s kVA rating value is listed in the specifications table for each power supply in Appendix A.
