INSTALLATION PLACEMENT
Please observe the following items;
The UPS comes with standard 19” (46.5 cm) rack mount brackets installed. These
brackets are reversible for mounting to a standard 23” (59.2 cm) rack.
Screws are not supplied with the UPS for attaching it to the rack (for screw size varies
according to rack size).
Install the UPS in a temperature controlled, indoor environment that is free of
conductive contaminants. Select a location which will provide good air circulation for the
UPS at all times. Avoid locations near heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or
where the UPS is exposed to direct sunlight. Select a location sturdy enough to handle the
weight of the UPS.
Two additional sets of bracket holes are located on the sides of the UPS to allow for
the UPS to be mounted with a different set back. After moving the bracket to these holes,
make sure the rack will not tip.
After mounting is complete, plug the UPS in to a two pole, three wire, grounded
receptacle. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged.
WARNING:
Care should be taken when installing the units due to their
weight. Use two or more people when installing. Do not move the rack after
the UPS is installed (the position of the UPS’s weight may cause the rack to
be unstable during movement).
ACCESSORY SLOT (OPTIONAL)
This slot is used for optional accessories available from Minuteman. Call for more
information.
DB9 CONNECTOR
Minuteman Power Management software and interface cables kits are used with this port
(software and cables are optional and available from Minuteman). Use only Minuteman or
Minuteman approved interface cables with these UPS’s. Connect the interface cable to the
DB9 connector on the rear of the UPS. Secure the connector to the UPS via the screws on
the connector housing. Connect the other end of the cable to the device that will be
monitoring/controlling the UPS.
NOTE:
CONNECTING TO THE DB9 IS OPTIONAL. THE UPS WORKS PROPERLY
WITHOUT A CONNECTION.
