Notes: 1
Connect only one
Windows-, Linux-, or VMware vSphere-based ftServer system directly to each
qualified UPS as described in the site planning guide or hardware
installation guide for your system. Connecting multiple ftServer systems or
any peripheral components (for example, monitors, tape drives, storage
systems, or Fibre Channel switches) to a
Stratus-qualified UPS is not supported because these UPS models are sized
only for the ftServer system. 2
If you need to provide
battery backup for peripheral components, plan for additional UPS capacity to
handle the load of these components, and test your
configuration to ensure that it works properly when power is removed. If you
need assistance in planning and testing your UPS configuration, contact the Stratus Customer
Assistance Center (CAC) or
your authorized Stratus service representative. 3
Site planning

documentation are of a general nature only. Do not rely exclusively on this
information. Contact APC at http://www.apc.com/

information. |

Network Shutdown Software (PCNS) version 5.0 from http://www.apc.com/.
During installation, when SNMP support is required, an alternate port needs to
be chosen because the Stratus SNMP support is already using port 161.
UPS Topology
The
Smart UPS On-Line provides high-density, true-double conversion on-line power
protection. Based on this topology, it does not provide complete
input-to-output isolation. The International models pass the input “neutral” to
the output, unless there is a loss of input AC power
and the UPS is on battery; that is the only time the input is isolated from the
output.
If your Site is susceptible to disturbances on the neutral
conductor (measured to earth ground), they are allowed to reach the load under
normal operating conditions. Adding an isolation transformer on the UPS output
can protect against site disturbances. When you use an isolation transformer,
all input lines are isolated from the output and a local neutral/earth bond is
derived on the load side. This ensures the cleanest power
for the system.
When
planning for UPS battery capacity, it is important to understand the load
requirements. For example, in the ftServer V Series UPS configurations listed
in Table 5, the battery runtime has been sized for 20 minutes.
This value is based on a shutdown period of 4 minutes times 3 (3 consecutive AC
failures without time to recharge the batteries) and battery aging. If your
specific applications take longer than 4 minutes to shut down, measure the time
required for shutdown, and use your results to adjust the required battery
capacity. UPS models are listed to meet multiple configurations, loading
requirements, and regional locations. Use the AC Power and HVAC worksheets in
your system's site planning guide to determine the power loading for your
configuration.
Be careful when specifying
amperage and delay parameters for the branch circuit. When selecting circuit breakers in an electrical power
system, configure the breakers appropriately
to ensure that when an abnormal condition exists, the breaker closest to the
abnormality in the distribution path trips before the larger upstream circuit
breaker. This isolates and limits service interruption to the branch
experiencing the problem. The coordination of protective devices, especially in
a continuous availability server environment, should be designed by an
appropriately experienced engineering service.
