Compaq 2000 - Manual (Page 23)

Installation 2-3
All models ship with a computer interface cable. The computer interface cable
is not needed for normal operation. If power management of the UPS is
desired, connect the interface cable between the UPS communications port and
the serial port on the host computer.
IMPORTANT: If the UPS does not include a power cord that is suitable for your
application, contact an authorized Compaq service representative to obtain the
appropriate power cord. Please refer to the “Precautions for Power Products” section of
the Important Safety Information (included with the UPS kit).
Before Starting the UPS
This section provides procedures to be carried out before starting the UPS.
Determine the steps required for the application:
■ Connecting the external battery module
■ Connecting the UPS communications port to the host computer
■ Connecting the UPS Network Transient Protector
NOTE: Although these steps can be carried out after the UPS is installed, the UPS will
need to be powered down to safely perform these tasks.
Connecting the External Battery Module
The 2000 Series UPS models feature an external battery module. This modular
design makes the UPS easier to handle, by distributing the total weight of the
unit into two components.
To assemble the unit, connect the battery cables from the battery module to the
battery receptacle on the rear panel of the UPS.
CAUTION: It is normal for a small amount of electrical arcing to occur when
connecting external batteries to a UPS. To minimize the amount of arcing, insert
the battery cables into the receptacle on the UPS quickly and firmly.
