Liebert IntelliRack User Manual

INTELLIRACK

Description

The IntelliRack is a
powerful multiplexing
device that allows a
Liebert UPS of any size
to communicate with a
virtually unlimited
number of computers.

The IntelliRack unit has five Intellislots for
MultiPort 4 cards that can be connected to as
many as four computers each. An IntelliRack
unit with five MultiPort 4 cards installed will
notify up to 20 computers of power failure and
low battery conditions.

A built-in bridging capability permits daisy­chaining IntelliRack units together, accommodat­ing a virtually unlimited number of computers—
limited only by the capacity of the UPS.

FRONT VIEW

When a power failure or low battery arises in
the UPS, the IntelliRack sends notifications to
all systems connected to the IntelliRack. One
example of a connected system is a network of
computers running Liebert’s MultiLink™
shutdown software.

For other applications, contact your local
Liebert representative or call 1-800-222-5877.
