Compaq Uninterruptible Power System R12000 XR User Guide 1-5
Overview
Extended Runtime Modules
The UPS supports up to two ERMs (extended runtime modules). Each ERM consists of two
battery packs in a 4U chassis. When operating at the Compaq recommended 80 percent load,
one ERM will extend the available UPS runtime by up to 15 minutes.
For more information, refer to the Compaq website at
www.compaq.com/ups
Power Distribution Units
The UPS supports up to two PDUs. A PDU offers power surge protection and allows you to
distribute power among units.
Remote Emergency Power Off Port
The UPS includes an isolated REPO (Remote Emergency Power Off) port. When properly
wired, the REPO feature allows the power at the UPS output receptacles to be switched off
from a remote location. To use this feature, the REPO port must be connected to a remote,
normally open switch (not supplied). When this switch is closed, the UPS immediately
disconnects power to its loads. The REPO switch is used in conjunction with a main
disconnect device that removes the AC source from the input of the UPS. To power down the
entire network in the event of an emergency, the REPO ports of multiple UPS units can be
connected to a single switch.
IMPORTANT:
• The REPO port meets the requirements of NFPA Articles 645-10 and 645-11 for a Disconnecting
Means.
• If the remote switch is closed, the REPO feature immediately powers down protected devices and
does not utilize the orderly shutdown procedure initiated by Compaq power management software.
• The REPO feature shuts down UPS units operating under either utility or battery power.
• If the UPS was operating on battery power when the remote switch was closed, no power will be
available to the devices until utility power is restored and the UPS has been manually powered up.
• To restore power to the load after the REPO feature is activated, press the On button after the AC
source is reconnected to the UPS.
• Pressing and holding the On button without utility present would normally initiate a battery start and
the UPS would assume the load. However, if the On button is pressed and a REPO is detected,
battery start is inhibited and the UPS will not be able to assume the load. The electronic module
fans will spin and the Alarm LED and an audible alarm will be active as long as the On button is
held.

Compaq Uninterruptible Power System R12000 XR User Guide 4-1
Battery Maintenance
Charging Batteries
When connected to utility power, the UPS automatically charges the batteries. No user
intervention is required while the UPS is in use. Refer to the section, “Care and Storage of
Batteries,” in this chapter for information on keeping the batteries charged while the UPS is
in extended storage.
Determining When to Replace Batteries
When the Alarm LED (1) is solid red, and the LCD displays either a Battery Needs Service or
Battery Test Failed alarm, you may need to replace the battery module. Depending on usage
and environmental conditions, the batteries should last three to six years.
1
Figure 4-1: Alarm LED
To verify the above alarms, initiate a UPS battery self-test to verify that battery replacement
is required. If the Alarm LED (1) is solid red and the alert displays on the LCD status menu,
replace the bad battery module as soon as possible.
Refer to the section, “Initiating a Self-Test,” in Chapter 2 for more information on initiating a
self-test.
4-2 Compaq Uninterruptible Power System R12000 XR User Guide
Obtaining New Batteries
New batteries may be required within 30 to 60 days when the Alarm LED is solid red and the
LCD displays either a Battery Needs Service or Battery Test Failed alarm. Obtain spare
batteries for the UPS when this occurs.
Compaq supplies spare battery modules for UPS R12000 XR models. The UPS spare battery
kit part number is 228288-001
CAUTION: Because of the battery’s short shelf life, avoid storing a battery spare as a
backup. Compaq recommends that an inventory of spare batteries not be maintained onsite
unless a procedure to keep these batteries charged while in storage is implemented.
Replacing the Batteries
The batteries in the UPS are hot-swappable. Batteries may be replaced (hot-swapped) without
powering off the UPS if the UPS is not supplying battery power to devices. LED 1 will be
solid green if the UPS is supplying utility power.
The UPS is provided with an internal lithium battery and a sealed lead-acid battery module.
There is a danger of explosion and risk of personal injury if the batteries are incorrectly
replaced or mistreated. Replacement is to be done by a Compaq authorized service provider
using the Compaq spare designated for the product. For more information about battery
replacement or proper disposal, contact your Compaq authorized reseller or Compaq
authorized service provider.

Compaq Uninterruptible Power System R12000 XR User Guide 4-5
Battery Maintenance
Conducting a Battery Commissioning Test
When replacing battery modules, Compaq recommends running a battery commissioning test.
This test will set a base line so that the UPS accurately displays battery run-time. See the
section, “Set Hardware Configuration,” in Chapter 3 for instructions on enabling the battery
commissioning test.
NOTE: The battery commissioning test runs in the background. Once enabled, the test can take up to
three days to run.
Disposing of Used Batteries
The spare battery kit includes the instructions and packaging required to return used batteries
to the appropriate location for disposal.
Batteries, battery modules, and accumulators should not be disposed of
together with the general household waste. In order to forward them to
recycling or proper disposal, use the public collection system or return them
to Compaq, your authorized Compaq Partners, or their agents.
Care and Storage of Batteries
To maximize the life of batteries:
• Minimize the amount of time the UPS uses battery power by matching the UPS
configuration with utility voltage. Refer to the section, “Matching the Utility Voltage,” in
Chapter 3 for more information.
• Keep the area around the UPS clean and dust-free. If the environment is very dusty, clean
the outside of the UPS regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
• Maintain the ambient temperature at 25
• If storing a UPS for an extended period, recharge the batteries every six months:
— Connect the UPS to utility power.
— Allow the UPS to remain in Standby mode.
— Allow the UPS to charge the batteries for 24 hours.
— Update the Battery Recharge Date label.

Pre-Failure Battery Warranty
The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty, standard on all Compaq UPS units, extends the advantage
of a Compaq three-year limited warranty by applying it to the battery before it actually fails.
Specifically, the Pre-Failure Battery Warranty ensures that when customers receive
notification from Compaq power management software that the battery may fail, the battery
is replaced free of charge under the warranty.
Compaq maintains the highest standards in the industry, as evidenced by the Compaq
Pre-Failure Battery Warranty. This warranty is beneficial in at least two significant ways:
• Reduced total cost of ownership
• Reduced downtime
A Pre-Failure Battery warning is given 30 days prior to a battery failure. The warning is
indicated in one or both of the following ways:
• An LED showing that the battery is low
• Notification from Compaq power management software
This warning provides ample time to order a spare battery. You can order a spare by calling
1-800-OK COMPAQ.
Battery Maintenance
The battery warranty coverage is three years for parts. The warranty for the first year of
ownership includes parts and labor. If battery spares are not available for a particular Compaq
UPS model, then the entire UPS, including its battery, will be replaced.

Non-redundant mode.
The UPS will transfer to Bypass mode
after 30 seconds of this sustained load
level.
The UPS detects that the current load
has exceeded 120% of the maximum
capacity available, which means it is
operating in Non-redundant mode.
The UPS will transfer to Bypass mode
within one second and remain in that
mode due to the excessive overload
condition.
The UPS detects that the current load
level has exceeded the maximum safe
load level limits that would provide
redundancy protection to the
electronics modules.
The system will continue to operate,
but will no longer be in Redundant
mode. The load could be at risk if an
electronics module fails.
The UPS detects that its electronics
modules are having trouble
synchronizing with the input utility
source. The most likely cause is a poor
utility source supplying the UPS.
While on battery, the UPS detects that
the battery voltage level has dropped
below the lowest preset threshold
value. The UPS will be shut down.
This normal alarm condition occurs at
the end of a battery discharge cycle.
The threshold represents the lowest
allowable battery discharge level for the
batteries before they can no longer
safely support the load. Once valid
utility returns, the UPS will assume the
load after a minimum charge level has
been restored to the batteries, and it
will begin a complete battery recharge
cycle.
Reduce the load level to clear the
alarm. If the alarm persists after load
reduction, see the LCD panel to
determine which electronics module is
reporting overload.

The UPS detects an EEPROM
Checksum Failure in the electronics
module or Supervisory Board. This
condition must be resolved before the
UPS can complete its initialization and
start successfully.
This alarm is most common after a
flash upgrade that requires an
EEPROM upgrade for the new
embedded software to function
correctly. The upgrade documentation
will describe this condition.
The UPS has been manually switched
into Maintenance Bypass mode. The
UPS can no longer protect the load or
condition the utility to the load.
The UPS detects that its output voltage
is higher than its configured operational
range. The UPS will immediately
initiate a transfer to Bypass mode, if
that mode is available. If Bypass mode
is not available at the time of this
failure, the UPS will shut down
immediately to protect the load.
This could be caused by a hardware
component failure.
This alarm is triggered by one of the
following events:
• The UPS detects that its output
voltage is lower than its configured
operational range. The UPS will
immediately initiate a transfer to
Bypass mode, if that mode is
available.
• A significant change in load or load
types occurs that causes a
temporary sag in output voltage. If
Bypass mode is available, the UPS
attempts to automatically recover
and return to an online mode after
a couple of seconds.

usually caused by a Flash Upgrade
Failure.
At least one electronics module
generates this alarm when it detects an
abnormally high input current. The
detecting module shuts down to protect
itself from damage. The UPS may have
transitioned into Automatic Bypass
mode due to the failure, depending on
the load levels present at the time of
the failure and the number of modules
affected.
This could be caused by a hardware
failure.
The UPS detects a Remote Emergency

Federal Communications Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has
established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio
frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy
incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules
place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon
their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be
installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may
reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal
computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the
interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when
setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other
conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage
may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Compaq Uninterruptible Power System R12000 XR User Guide B-1
Electrostatic Discharge
Grounding Methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when
handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer
chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent
resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the
skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on
both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have a Compaq
authorized reseller install the part.
