Connecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply to HiPath 5000 
 
Online's P 500 uninterruptible power supply (UPS) was certified for use with HiPath 5000.
The P 500 UPS is fed through the AC power cord to the HiPath 5000 server. The device bridges power failures lasting 5 - 10 minutes by means of an integrated battery.
Caution  
For safety reasons and for protection against guarantee claims, changes to the UPS settings may only be performed by specially trained technicians.  
The manufacturer's safety and operating instructions must be observed.

 Description  
 1  
LED displays the status of the  P 500 UPS.  
 •   green = input voltage (line voltage) is functioning
 •   red = UPS is suppling voltage or fault has been detected
 2  
Display shows UPS operating status  
 •   NORMAL
 •   CHARG`G
 •   BATTERY
and reports the charging status of the battery (25, 50, 75 or 100%).  
 3  
On/off switch  
 4  
Input (jack for input voltage (line voltage))  
There is a cavity under the jack for the input fuse (with spare fuse enclosed).  
 5  
3-pin DIP-FIX switch:  
 •   1: reduces the response voltage (minimum line voltage value before UPS activation)
   -   10 V with 220/240-V systems
   -   5 V with 110/120-V systems.
 •   2: increases the response voltage by 5%
 •   3: reduces the response voltage by 5%
Switch positions normally: DIP FIX 1 = off, DIP FIX 2 and 3 = on  
 6  
Reset key  
 •   deactivates the acoustic alarm if the input voltage fails, that is, when using the UPS. This alarm cannot be deactivated if the battery voltage falls under a certain value.
 •   activates the UPS cold start.
To protect the battery from deep discharging, the UPS can only be activated when the line voltage is connected. By activating the "on" switch (1) and then pressing the reset key, the P 500 UPS can also be activated without a network connection (cold start).
The connected server must be disconnected before a cold start.
The  P 500 UPS needs between 5 and 20 s to reach the set output voltage. To avoid malfunctions the connected server should not be connected immediately.
 7  
9-pin jack for connection to the communication server  
 NOT USED IN HiPath 3000/5000.  
Special monitoring software can shut down the specified server via this jack, for example, in the case of extended power failures.

Jacks for power supply to the communication server to be monitored.
