1 Intr oduction Overview The UPS Interface Expander (AP9607) is an American Power Conversion ( APC ) SmartSlot ™ accessory that pro- vides two additional computer interface ports for your APC UPS equipped with a SmartSlot accessory slot.
2 Intr oduction continued Featur es of the Interface Expander The Interface Expander: • Mounts in all APC devices equipped with a SmartSlot accessory slot. • W orks well in a heterogeneous network. Servers run- ning different operating systems can monitor the same UPS simultaneously .
3 Intr oduction continued Hardwar e and softwar e r equir ements The Interface Expander requires: •A n APC device equipped with a SmartSlot accessory slot.
4 Intr oduction continued Choosing cables: T able 1 This table lists the cables for use with the systems supported by the Interface Expander. When ordering a cable, provide the Part Number . Safety warning The Interface Expander is to be used only in conjunction with an APC UPS .
5 Pr oduct Description Interface Expander panel: Figure 1 The following figure shows the front panel of the Interface Expander. The panel contains: • 2 Basic monitoring ports • 4 Configuration DIP.
6 Pr oduct Description continued Status LED: T able 2 The Interface Expander status LED provides important information concerning operation of the unit. Refer to the table below for a description of the conditions indicated by the LED . Status Description On Normal o p eration.
7 Key Concepts Simple versus smart signaling: T able 3 The communication between an APC UPS and a connected server can be of two types: simple signaling or smart signal- ing.
8 Key Concepts continued Master server versus Interface Expander servers A “master” server is a server connected to the (Advanced) computer interface port of the UPS. This server uses PowerChute plus , configured for smart signaling, to moni- tor and control the UPS.
9 Key Concepts continued Configuring PowerChute plus for simple signaling T o use PowerChute plus on a server connected to the Inter- face Expander, configure PowerChute plus for simple signaling. Use either one of these procedures. 1 (Re)install PowerChute plus .
10 Key Concepts continued Low Battery signal The Interface Expander generates a Low Battery signal when it detects a Low Battery condition at the UPS, regard- less of whether the UPS is on battery .
11 Key Concepts continued Setup overview T o set up the Interface Expander, you will be required to perform the following procedures as applicable: 1 Determine which SmartSlot accessory slot you will use for the Interface Expander. See “Multiple SmartSlot Installation” on page 12.
12 Multiple SmartSlot Installation Intr oduction If your UPS configuration uses more than one SmartSlot device, you must install them in the correct order for them to work together properly . Priority of SmartSlot devices: T able 4 Install SmartSlot accessories as dictated by the following table.
13 Multiple SmartSlot Installation continued If your UPS has one SmartSlot accessory slot If your UPS has exactly one SmartSlot accessory slot, use this accessory slot for the SmartSlot device with the lowest priority .
14 Multiple SmartSlot Installation continued Installation in the Symmetra PowerArray For installation of multiple SmartSlot devices in the Sym- metra PowerArray , refer to the numbering shown in the figure that follows.
15 Installation Wa r n i n g Handle the Interface Expander by the front panel. Do not touch the exposed printed circuit board or components. T ouching the circuit board or components may result in damage to the Interface Expander.
16 Installation continued Installation procedur e, continued 4 Orient the Interface Expander to fit the accessory slot. Slide the Interface Expander all the way into the slot until the front panel is flush with the back panel of the UPS or device .
17 Connecting to Pr otected Devices Connection procedur e T o connect the devices, refer to “Connecting the Interface Expander: Figure 2” on page 18 and perform the following steps in the order given. 1 Connect the master server to the (Advanced) com- puter interface port of the UPS.
18 Connecting to Pr otected Devices continued Connecting the Interface Expander: Figure 2 The following figure shows how to connect the devices, as described in “Connection procedure” on page 17.
19 Configuring the Interface Expander Shutdown modes T o configure the Interface Expander, you must choose one of the three available modes of automatic UPS shutdown.
20 Configuring the Interface Expander continued Confirmed shutdown mode In Confirmed mode, the Interface Expander shuts down the UPS after all connected servers have signaled that they have completed shutdown of the operating system.
Configuring the Interface Expander continued Behavior of Confirmed mode If power returns before any connected server has signaled shutdown of the operating system, the Interface Expander returns to On Line status.
22 Configuring the Interface Expander continued Until Low Battery shutdown mode Until Low Battery shutdown mode is similar to the standard operation of the UPS . During a utility failure, the Interface Expander allows the UPS to run on battery until utility power is restored, or until the battery is exhausted.
23 Configuring the Interface Expander continued Te s t i n g t h e Interface Expander T o check the operation of the Interface Expander, perform the following steps in the order given. 1 Confirm that the UPS in on and that the battery is fully charged.
