Wave Server Hardware Reference Guide
Appendix C
Uninterruptible Power Supply Specifications
This appendix contains technical specifications for an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
Vertical Communications strongly recommends use of a UPS system that not only provides
power for continued operation in the event of a power failure, but also supports unattended
shutdown software. Use of a UPS safeguards the Wave system from data loss, hardware
damage, and downtime.
A list of UPS systems that have been tested and certified for use can be found under Service and
Support on the Vertical Communications Web site. A certified UPS system signifies that the
software associated with the UPS has been successfully installed and tested on the Wave system.
A UPS is AC power sourced from a battery. UPS sizing is a function of power requirements and
battery size. The higher the power rating, the longer the runtime for the same amount of power
consumption.
The maximum power consumption from the AC source for a fully loaded and fully operational
Wave IP 2500 Server is 900 watts for the main chassis and 500 watts for each EXU, and 580
watts for the Wave IP 500 Server. A fully loaded chassis has the maximum number of cards,
modules, and hard drives installed.
You should select a UPS based on the configuration of your Wave system and desired run time.
Refer to UPS web sites for information about expected runtimes for specific UPS systems.
Manufacturers may offer different battery options. Discuss your UPS requirements with your
reseller.
Many power outages occur as a result of lightning. Florida and Texas are the leading states for
lightning strikes and power outages. Most power outages last for less than 15 minutes; however,
you must determine the amount of time you want your system to operate without external
power.
