Appendix C

Uninterruptible Power Supply

C.1 Uninterruptible Power Supply Overview

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a separately purchased battery backup unit that is connected to an EMD Storage subsystem. If the UPS is sufficiently large, it should allow the whole subsystem to safely finish the ongoing I/Os in the event of an AC power failure.

C.2 Compatible UPS Supplies

The APC SMART-UPS 700VA is compatible with the SecurStor subsystem.

C.3 Serial Communication Cable

The subsystem is shipped with a customized audio-jack to DB9 serial communication cable. The cable is used to connect the controller module on a subsystem to a PC hyperterminal for subsystem management. If you wish to use a UPS with your subsystem, an additional audio- jack to DB9 serial communication cable (see Figure C-24) must be purchased.
