How to Avoid Equipment Damage
Disconnect UPS You do not need to turn off a Symmetra® or a Silcon™ model power UPS to install the Management Card.
Damage to the UPS or APC Network Management Card (AP9617 or AP9618) can result if you do not remove all AC and DC power from a Smart-UPS®
or Matrix-UPS®, Expansion Chassis, or a Triple Caution Expansion Chassis before you install the
Management Card.
Smart-UPS
1.Turn off the equipment that connects to the UPS.
2.Disconnect the UPS from its AC input source.
3.Press the OFF button on the UPS for approximately five seconds to turn off the DC (battery) power.
Matrix-UPS
1.Turn off the equipment that connects to the UPS.
2.Turn off the circuit breaker on the rear panel of the UPS.
Disconnect |
Make sure that any Expansion Chassis or Triple Expansion |
chassis power |
Chassis is disconnected from all power: disconnect the chassis |
|
cable from the UPS and, if the AC-to-DC Adapter (AP9505) |
|
option is used, disconnect the adapter from the chassis. |
How to Recover from a Lost Password
You can use a local computer, a computer that connects to the
Management Card through the serial port at the Management
Card’s UPS or expansion chassis, to access the Control
Console.
1.Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses that port.
2.Unless an APC smart-signaling cable (940-0024 or 9401524) is already connected to the selected port, connect the smart-signaling cable that came with the Management Card to the selected port and to the serial port at the Management Card’s UPS or chassis.
3.Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for 2400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, and save the changes.
4.Press ENTER to display the User Name prompt.
5.Press the reset button on the Management Card.
6.Press ENTER and use apc for the User Name and Password. (If you take longer than 30 seconds to log on, you will need to repeat steps 4 and 5.)
7.Select System in the Control Console menu and User Manager in the System menu.
8.Select Administrator and follow the on-screen instructions to change the User Name and Password settings, both of which are now defined as apc.
9.Press CTRL-C and log off.
Reconnect any cable disconnected in step 2, and restart any service disabled in step 1.

You can install the Management Card in a card slot in a Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS, or Symmetra. For a Silcon UPS, the Management Card installs in a Silcon Triple Expansion Chassis (AP9604S).
You do not need to turn power off for a Symmetra UPS.
Damage to the UPS or Management Card can result if you do not remove all AC and DC power
from a Smart-UPS or Matrix-UPS model UPS.
