WARNING
Risk of improper installation. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death.
Only a properly trained and qualified service professional should install these products.
Emerson recommends having an Emerson Network Power
perform the installation in large UPS’s. Contact Liebert Services at 1-800-LIEBERT
(1-800-543-2378).
NOTICE
Risk of duplicate node ID’s if two or more Liebert IntelliSlot cards are installed. Can cause
network conflicts.
An internal networking conflict may occur within a device when multiple communication
cards with duplicate Node IDs are installed in the device.
Each Liebert IntelliSlot card must have a unique node ID. This will not be a problem if only
one card is installed on your system. Duplicate node ID’s are easily averted with the
procedure detailed in 2.4 - Installing Multiple Liebert IntelliSlot Unity Cards in a
System.
2.1 Installing the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity Card
The Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card may be installed at the factory or field-installed. To perform a
field-installation:
1. Find the Liebert IntelliSlot bay on your Liebert equipment—It may have a plastic cover.
2. Insert the card into the Liebert IntelliSlot bay.

NOTE
The card will only fit one way in the Liebert IntelliSlot bay because the circuit board is not
centered on the faceplate. The slot in the Liebert IntelliSlot bay also is not centered.
3. Secure the card with the screws supplied with the cover plate.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the card’s Ethernet RJ-45 port for IP communication interfaces.
5. Connect a serial cable to the card’s 485 RJ-45 port for RS-485 communication interfaces (see
2.1.3 - Connect an RS-485 Serial Cable.
2.1.1 Assigning the Card’s IP Address
DHCP
The Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card is factory-configured for DHCP. If you require a Static or BootP
network configuration, be sure to change the Boot Mode as described in Static IP on page 6.
Connect an RJ-45 cable to the card and it will receive an IP address from the DHCP server. Contact
the DHCP administrator to obtain the IP address using the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card’s MAC
address. The MAC address is printed on the card’s faceplate.
If the DHCP administrator is not available or there is no way of
determining the IP address assigned by the DHCP server, use a
computer with a direct Ethernet connection to the Liebert
IntelliSlot Unity card, and the Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address
convention described in 2.1.2 - Connect an Ethernet Cable to
access the card’s Web page and configure the card. To see the card’s
last DHCP-assigned IP address, click on the Unity Tab, then on
the left side menu select Support > Active Networking. The
table of information will show the last IP address assigned by the
DHCP server. The card may retain that IP address when it
reconnects to the DHCP network because most DHCP systems
reuse the same IP address for the same device.

To assign a static IP address, use the Ethernet connection to configure the card. Proceed to 2.1.2 Connect an Ethernet Cable and 2.2 - Change User Names and Passwords Immediately.
2.1.2 Connect an Ethernet Cable
1. Connect a computer running a Microsoft Windows operating system (Microsoft Windows® XP with
SP2 [64-bit] or SP3 [32-bit] or later) to the card by plugging a network cable into the RJ-45 port on
the computer and the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card.
2. Autoconfiguration, which is normally enabled on computers running Microsoft Windows
operating systems, will automatically negotiate the communication settings. This takes about one
minute.
NOTE
If the computer does not automatically connect, verify that autoconfiguration is enabled by:
Open the Command Prompt window from the computer’s Start menu.
Enter ipconfig/all to verify that Autoconfiguration is enabled on the computer and that an
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address has been assigned: Enabled = Yes (see Figure 2). An
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address begins with 169.254.)
3. If the Ethernet adapter being used to attach to the card does not show an Autoconfiguration IPv4
Address, open a new Command Prompt and type ipconfig/renew and press Enter. This forces the
computer to acquire an Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address.
4. When the computer has an Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address, open a browser window on the
computer and type 169.254.24.7 (the card’s default Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address) in the URL
address field. The card’s Web page will appear.

485
+-
Wires
Screws
For Building Management Systems using serial network connections, an RS-485 serial cable
connection will be used.
Liebert IntelliSlot Unity cards come with an Adapter RJ-45-2POS Terminal Block. The adapter has
two screw terminals to attach the ends of a RS-485 cable for communicating to a building
management system.
1. Find the serial cable from the building management system. If it already has an RJ-45 connector
on the end, determine whether it uses the same pinout as the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card’s
connector. If the pinout is the same as the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card connector’s pinout, skip
to Step 6.
2. Strip the ends of the positive (typically red) and negative (typically
black) leads on the RS-485 cable so that enough bare wire is exposed for
connection, about 1/4" (6mm).
NOTE
No bare wire should be exposed when the connection is completed.
3. Position the adapter so the side with the positive and negative marks is
face up. The small markings are on the same side as the screw heads,
as shown at right.
4. Loosen the screw to the positive terminal and insert the red wire far
enough to insert the bare wires into the terminal block under the screw, then tighten the screw.
Be careful not to break the wires.
5. Repeat Step 3 with the negative terminal and the black wire.
6. Plug the cable into the 485 RJ-45 port on the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card.

2.3 Configure the Card
The Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card requires minor configuration, such as choosing the IP/Web
communication interface, serial RS-485 communication interface, or both. The default for IP/Web
communication is IPv4, but this can be changed to IPv6 for greater security; contact your network
administrator to determine whether it is compatible with your network. To choose the communication
interface refer to Figure 4:
Installation
1. Select Unity Tab > Configuration > Network Settings.
2. Enable the protocol, either IPv4 or IPv6, that will be used to communicate with the Liebert
IntelliSlot Unity card and with the Liebert equipment.
a. Click on either IPv4 Settings or IPv6 Settings.
b. Click the Edit button.
c. When prompted with a login display, enter the user name and password (the defaults are

2.4 Installing Multiple Liebert IntelliSlot Unity Cards in a System
More than one Liebert IntelliSlot card may be installed in a system, but circular routes and duplicate
node ID’s must be avoided during installation. The instructions below apply if the second card to be
installed is a Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card. If the second card is not a Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card,
follow instructions in the user manual for that card.
Before beginning installation of a second Liebert IntelliSlot card, verify that the first card functions
properly.
If the first card is a Liebert IntelliSlot card, but not a Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card, and if both cards
connect to the same Ethernet network, then you should disable the router function on the first card.
This will avoid circular routes. Follow instructions in the user manual for the first card.
If the first and second cards are both Liebert IntelliSlot Unity cards, steps must be taken to avoid
duplicate Emerson Protocol MSTP node ID’s. By default, the two cards would use the same node ID,
and one or both cards would report a duplicate node error and fail to communicate with the system.
The default node ID for a Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card is 0, so the second card should use 1 or 2
preferably, or 127 if necessary. Contact your system administrator about the proper node ID for the
second card, then perform the steps below.
1. Open a Web browser and navigate to the second Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card.
2. Click on Unity Tab > Configuration > Emerson Protocol > MSTP.
3. Click on Edit and enter a password and username, if required.
4. Enter the new node ID.
5. Click Save to confirm the changes or click Cancel to discard them.
6. Restart the card as follows.
a. Select the Unity Tab > Support.
b. Click on Enable.
c. Click on Restart.

3.0 ENABLE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
The Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card will communicate with equipment and third-party systems over
these protocols:
• BACnet IP
• BACnet MSTP
• Modbus TCP
• Modbus RTU
•SNMP
•YDN23
NOTE
Only two of the protocols may be enabled on one card.
• Only one version of BACnet may be selected, either BACnet IP or BACnet MSTP
• Only one version of Modbus may be selected, either Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU
• Only one of the protocols can use the 485 port; choosing two 485 protocols will cause
conflicts.
NOTE
Some Building Management Systems can be configured to send continuous updates for device
setpoints, usually setting the same value. The BMS should be configured to send, on a
sustained average, no more than two writes per second to the device. This will allow the device
to catch up after a burst of updates when required while allowing other communication with
the device to proceed.
