Expansion/Triple Chassis Installation

Step 2: Install
the Network
Management
Card

If the

UPS

uses more than one

APC

management product, see

Installation of Multiple Management Cards, a copy of which
came with the Management Card. You must install the APC
management products in the correct order for them to operate
properly.

1. If a cable is connected to the serial port at the UPS or

chassis, stop the APC service that uses that serial
connection and disconnect the cable.

2. If you are installing a chassis, connect the chassis to the

UPS serial port.

3. Use the same screws that hold the expansion slot cover in

place to secure the Management Card in the chassis slot.

4. Connect a network interface cable to the Management

Card’s 10/100Base-T network connector.

5. If you are using the

AC

Adapter (AP9505):

a. Connect the adapter to the chassis.
b. Connect the adapter to an independent

AC

input so

that the Management Card can continue to operate if
the

UPS

is turned off or fails.

6. If you disconnected a cable in step 1, reconnect that cable

to the serial port at the chassis, and restart the associated
APC service.

7. See “Quick Configuration” on page 10.

Caution

The Network Management Card is sensitive to
static electricity. When handling the
Management Card, touch only the end plate
while using one or more of these electrostatic-
discharge devices (ESDs): wrist straps, heel
straps, toe straps, or conductive shoes.
