UPS Upgrade
Adding a UPS
The following UPS systems can be added to the HP NAS 8000 solution after
the time of purchase. The specific model of UPS recommended is customized
each region:
■ American Power Conversion (APC) Symmetra RM (8U)
■ American Power Conversion (APC) Symmetra RM (15U)
■ American Power Conversion (APC) Symmetra
To install the UPS on the HP NAS 8000 solution, follow these steps:
1 Follow the instructions that came with the UPS for power requirements.
2 Power down all of the solution components in the following sequence
before installing the UPS:
— NAS server(s)
— Quorum server (for high-availability configurations)
— Array
— FC switch (for high-availability configurations)
— Library
3 Install the UPS in the bottom of the rack to avoid having a top-heavy rack
and to eliminate the risk of tip over.
4 Connect the communications port on the UPS to the server's COM1 serial
port.
5 Plug components into PDU on UPS.
6 Connect power to UPS.
■ If you are installing the Symmetra RM UPS:
— If the planned power load is less than or equal to 5 kVA, plug the line
into an appropriate outlet.
— If the planned power load is greater than 5 kVA, a qualified electrician
must hard wire the input power.
■ If you are installing the Symmetra UPS:
— Regardless of the power load, a qualified electrician must hard wire
the input power.
