Important Information
The batteries inside this UPM are a special type called "sealed lead-acid". These batteries
use a non-liquid electrolyte, which makes it possible to use them in any physical
orientation. The batteries are designed to last from 2 to 5 years. Their actual life span will
depend on several factors including how often power outages occur, how long power
outages last, and the temperature of the environment in which the UPM operates.
Frequent, long duration power outages will shorten battery life more than infrequent, short
duration outages. Consistent high temperatures in the area where the UPM is used will also shorten battery
life.
The UPM is equipped with a Low/Replace Battery LED on the front panel. If the LED illuminates, you should
make sure that the battery has at least six hours to charge without a power interruption. Inadequate (much
shorter than usual) backup time, premature low battery alarm sounds, and persistent Low/Replace Battery
LED illumination are all good signs that the battery inside your UPM requires replacem ent. The batteries
inside your UPM are designed to be easily replaced by a user who possesses basic mechanical/electrical
knowledge and simple tools. Please familiarize yourself with the following precautions before proceeding
with battery replacement.
WARNING !!
Servicing of batteries should always be performed or supervised by someone who has
read and understood the following precautions and who understands the hazards
associated with storage batteries. This procedure should not be performed by someone
who is unauthorized or who is incapable of following these precautions.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING CAUTIONS
? Only the battery assembly in this unit is user serviceable. The battery compartment is
accessed by removing the front panel as described in the following instructions. No
other user serviceable parts are contained in this UPM. Do not remove any cover
other than the front battery access panels.
1. Purchase correct cable
2. Check to see that the port
is enabled in the CMOS
settings. Also check for
IRQ conflicts. Make sure
settings match those found
in Communications
Manager.
3. Replace I/O card
