8 Installation and Quick Start

Expansion/Triple Chassis Installation

Overview

Use an Expansion Chassis or a Triple Expansion Chassis if the

UPS has no card slot available.

The Management Card installs in the chassis and

communicates with the

UPS through the cable connection

between the chassis and the

UPS.

When to use the

AC adapter

(AP9505)

Use the optional AC adapter with a chassis under the following

circumstances:

• To connect the chassis to an independent

AC input so

that the Management Card can continue to operate if the

UPS is turned off or fails.

• To provide the

APC management products mounted in a

Triple Expansion Chassis with more current than the

UPS can provide through the UPS-to-chassis cable.

– A Silcon UPS provides up to 500 mA.

– A Matrix-UPS, Smart-UPS, or Symmetra-UPS

provide up to 200 mA.

For information about the current requirements for

APC

management products, do the following:

a. Go to APC’s Support page (www.apc.com/support).

b. Click the Knowledge Base link in the “Search the

Knowledge Base” section.

c. Use “current draw” as your search phrase.

d. Select the “Recommended connection order and

power requirements for APC SmartSlot accessories”

document.

Step 1:

Disconnect the

chassis from all

power

Make sure that the chassis is disconnected from any power

source: Disconnect the chassis cable from the

UPS and, if the

UPS uses an

AC adapter, disconnect that adapter from the

chassis.

Note

Use only a Silcon Triple Expansion Chassis

(AP9604S) with a Silcon UPS.
