viii IBM UPS 500 and UPS 675 USB: User’s Guide

Installation and user’s guide

Read this chapter before using your UPS 675 USB or UPS 500 option. Save the original carton and styrofoam inserts. If you require service, your warranty might be voided if the UPS is sent back to IBM in improper packaging.

This UPS will protect your equipment from power problems: blackouts, brownouts, surges, spikes and line noise. Its reliable battery backup power will allow you to complete work, save data and safely shut down your system in the event of a blackout. The UPS protects your equipment on both the ac and modem/fax line. When ac power is present and the UPS power button is turned ON, the UPS is keeping the battery constantly charged, and connected equipment is powered directly from the ac power line. A communication port allows remote power management.

Safety: Read first

This section provides installation safety warnings.

CAUTION:DonotuseofanyoftheUPSSystemsinalifesupport application where a malfunction or failure of a IBM UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of the life support device.

DANGER:DonotallowtheUPStobeexposedtomoisture,rain,dust, excessive heat or direct sunlight. Do not block the cooling vents on the UPS. Position the UPS at least 15 cm (6 in.) away from any monitors or floppy disks. Small magnetic fields present during backup operation can cause monitor interference or disrupt information on disks.

Connect the UPS to a two-pole, three-wire, grounded ac power outlet. To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 15 amperes overcurrent protection (in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or your local electrical code.)

Never plug a UPS into itself; this will damage the unit and void your warranty. Never plug a surge suppressor into any of the outlets; this will overload the UPS when operating from battery power. Since the UPS already has surge suppresion built in, adding extra surge suppression is not necessary.

The UPS might be damaged if connected to a motor-powered ac generator with voltage and frequency output beyond nominal accepted ranges. Consult the generator manufacturer or IBM Customer Service before connecting the UPS to a generator.

Battery Safety Warnings

CAUTION:Batteriescanpresentariskofelectricalshockandburnfromhigh short circuit current. Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number an type of batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or, in the USA only, call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recycling information.

CAUTION: Batteries left discharged will suffer a permanent loss of capacity. If the UPS is stored or not used for three months or longer, fully recharge the batteries by plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet, turning the power button ON and letting the UPS charge for 4-6 hours.

When UPS protection is ON, the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets are energized from the internal battery, even when the unit is not plugged in.

Installing the UPS 500 or UPS 675 USB option

This section contains installation instructions for the UPS 500 or UPS 675 USB option.

To install the UPS 675 USB option, do the following:

1. Plug the UPS into an electrical outlet that does not share a circuit with a

heavy electrical load. For example, an air conditioner or a refrigerator. All the UPS LEDs will light up and the UPS will beep as it conducts a 10-second self-test. When the self-test is complete, only the ″Line″ LED should remain lit. Check the “Troubleshooting” on page 1-9 if the ″Battery″ or ″Overload″ LED is lit.

2. Determine the total VA or wattage draw of all the equipment you plan on

connecting to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets. Look on the equipment nameplate for this information. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. For example, 1 amp x120 = 120 VA. The total VA for all equipment cannot exceed the UPS’s output capacity.

3. Plug your computer and monitor into the three Battery Backup

Protected/Surge Protected outlets. (Remember they provide both surge and battery backup protection.)

Note: Do not plug laser printers into these outlets.
