Congratulations on selecting the ACE Series Rack-Mount
uninterruptible power system (UPS) to protect your sensitive electronic
equipment from power disturbances and dirty power.
Because a power outage can occur when you least expect it —
threatening the loss of critical data — it’s important to protect your
network with a full-featured UPS such as the ACE Series Rack-Mount.
Network administrators often spend countless hours trying to
troubleshoot problems that, in many cases, would never have occurred
had a UPS protected their network.
Properly installed, a UPS can be the single most cost-effective measure
you can take to ensure system security. Providing outstanding
performance and reliability, the ACE Series Rack-Mount’s unique
benefits include the following:
œ
Advanced Battery Management (ABM™) doubles battery service
life, optimizes recharge time, and provides a warning up to 60 days
before the end of useful battery life.
œ
Hot-swappable batteries simplify maintenance by allowing you to
safely replace batteries without powering down your critical load.
œ
Network and modem protection (may not be available on your
model) guards your modem, fax machine, and other network
communications equipment from surges.
œ
Buck and Double Boost
regulation ensures consistent voltage to
your load by correcting voltage fluctuations without using battery
power.
œ
Start-on-battery compatibility allows you to power up your UPS
even if utility power is not available.
œ
Our power management software is fully compatible with the ACE
Series Rack-Mount and provides sequential orderly shutdown of all
network devices including multiple servers and workstations.
œ
Optional power communication cards provide enhanced
communication capabilities for increased power protection and
longer battery backup times.
