Chapter 1. Introduction
The IBM
®
line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) models are designed
to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges from reaching your servers and
other valuable electronic equipment. The UPS filters small utility line fluctuations
and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting
from the utility line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery
until the utility line returns to safe levels or the battery is fully discharged.
Each UPS has the following communication features: an RS-232 port, a USB port,
and a communication bay for an optional IBM Network Management Card. The
following additional optional features are available: an IBM Extended Battery
Module (6000 VA 3U) and an IBM Environmental Monitoring Probe.
The information in this document is for the following UPS and extended battery
module models:
