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 information for the UPS on the
Stratus Web site and in the ftServer system documentation are of a general
nature only. Do not rely exclusively on this information. Contact APC at http://www.apc.com/ for
detailed UPS specifications, documentation, sizing, and ordering information. |

Software (PCNS) version 5.1 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.
