USB port
Connecting the UPS to your computer is accomplished through the USB port on the back of
your computer. USB compliant hardware and operating system will be necessary including
installation of a UPS driver. The serial port cannot be used when using the USB port.
6.1 EPO port (emergency power off)
A customer-supplied switch located remotely can be used to open the EPO connection and
allows UPS output receptacles to be switched off. Since the EPO shuts down the equipment
immediately, orderly shutdown procedures are not followed and not by any power
management software. The UPS will have to be manually restarted in order to regain power
to the outlets.
6.2 Data Line protection (1000 - 3000 VA)
The network transient protector, located on the back panel, has both IN and OUT jacks, and
houses a single RJ-45 (10BaseT) network connector or RJ-11 telephone line connector.
Connect the input connector to the jack labeled IN, and the output connector to the jack
labeled OUT.
6.2 Load segments (1000 - 3000 VA)
The power management software controls the sets of receptacles known as load segments
which provides organized shutdown and startup of the equipment. Less critical equipment
can be turned off during power outages saving battery power for critical loads. The power
management software manual has more details regarding this. The load group status can be
viewed from the LCD display and can be changed if necessary. These load segments are
usually handled with the UPS management software. Refer to chapter 5.2 regarding the two
load segments that come with each model.
