INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your PowerwareR 9 Prestige Series uninterruptible power system (UPS). The Prestige UPS meets the toughest measures of superior design and manufacturing, including ISO 9001. You now own the most reliable power protection available.

The Prestige 6000 provides a steady, well-regulated power supply for your computing and communications equipment, while protecting it from the frequent irregularities that are inherent in commercially available power. Voltage spikes, power surges, brownouts, and power failures have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and in some instances, damage expensive hardware.

With the Prestige 6000, you can safely eliminate the effects of electrical line disturbances and guard the integrity of your systems and equipment. The optional PowerPassR Distribution Module (PPDM) has a Maintenance Bypass feature that supplies power to your equipment even when the power processing unit (PPU) is removed for maintenance or upgrades. Figure 1 shows the Prestige 6000 UPS with two battery cabinets and a PPU.
