Powering the Silcon Triple Chassis
Powering
accessories
The Silcon Triple Chassis supplies power to the installed
SmartSlot accessories and to the Monitoring port, allowing
you to power multiple accessories.
AP9604S power
considerations
The AP9604S model of the Silcon Triple Chassis receives
its power from the UPS through the power connector of the
Silcon UPS cable. If the total current required by all the
installed accessories exceeds 500 mA, you must use a
24
VDC power adapter.
To find out whether you need additional power, see “Deter-
mining power requirements: Table 3” on page 19.
Power adapters APC offers two models of 24 VDC power adapter.
• The standard adapter (AP9505) can provide an addi-
tional 400 mA.
• The universal adapter (AP9505i) can provide 850
mA.
Using a power
adapter
To use the adapter, plug it into a protected power outlet and
into the Optional Power port of the Silcon Triple Chassis.
Note: If the power adapter loses power because of a UPS
shutdown, its attached accessories may not operate
properly, thus adversely affecting the UPS and its
protected equipment.
