NSTALLATION
The following sections describe UPS storage requirements and the
installation and startup of the UPS.
Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the UPS and battery cabinets, making sure to retain
the packaging materials. Examine each unit carefully for any signs of
damage and immediately notify your distributor if damage is present.
For assistance with the IBM 9910 UPS, see Chapter 8, “AS/400 Service”
on page 75.
UPS and Battery Cabinet Storage
If you plan to store the UPS or battery cabinets prior to use, store them
in a cool, dry environment. Storage temperature should not exceed
35
C (95
F) in order to preserve battery life. For longer term storage,
energize the UPS and battery cabinet for approximately 8 hours every
90 days in order to maintain battery charge.
Whenever the units are not energized, verify the circuit breaker on all
battery cabinets is returned to the OFF (O) position.
UPS with PowerPass Distribution Module Installation
The PPDM is a standard option for the AS/400 systems. The PPDM has a
Maintenance Bypass feature that supplies power to your equipment even
when the UPS electronics are removed for maintenance or upgrades.
There are three PPDM models available: the 5-15R PPDM, the
5-15R/6-15R PPDM, and the IEC 320-C13 PPDM. The rear panels of
these models are shown in Figure 5 on page 37, Figure 6 on page 38,
and Figure 8 on page 41, respectively.
