Setting the acceptance condition for the UPS Stop Signal (BS)
●
The factory-shipped setting is "Accept only during Battery mode."
Do not change the factory-shipped setting except under the following conditions.
Do not change it also when using the attached UPS monitoring software, “PA”.
• If you change the setting to "Accept both during Line mode and during Battery mode," the UPS stops
suddenly at the startup of the PC, which may break files and so on.
It is known that this phenomenon occurs when expanding a SCSI board to Sony VAIO R series and so
on.
• Do not start up the PC during Battery mode. The UPS stops at the startup.
●
Changing the factory-shipped setting
When you want to always perform restart (for example, unmanned system when you use the auto closing
processing by Windows NT's UPS service or you make the shutdown system by the contact signal by
yourself), change the setting to "Accept both during Line mode and during Battery mode."
• If the factory-shipped setting is used along with Windows NT's UPS service, after the start of shutdown
due to a power failure and before the stop of the UPS, if a power supply is restored, resetting power
supply to the PC may not be performed and therefore the auto restart of Windows NT may not be
performed.
• If you change the setting, the UPS may stop at the startup of the PC, depending the type of the PC in
use.
Before operating the system, check that the UPS does not stop at the startup of your PC according to
the following procedure.
•
Check procedure
1. Disconnect the AC plugs of the devices connected to the UPS such as PC and peripherals from the
Power Supply Output Receptacles.
2. Connect the PC and peripherals to a wall outlet (commercial power).
3. Connect the serial port on the PC and the UPS.
4. Start up the PC.
Check that the UPS does not stop.
* If the UPS does not stop, you can use the "Accept both during Line mode and during Battery mode"
setting.
If it stops, change the setting to "Accept only during Battery mode" before use.
* After the operation check, restore the connection of the AC plugs of the PC and peripherals.
For information on the connection procedure, refer to "2. Installation and connection" on page 12.
