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. |

ftServer 2800, 2810, 4800, 4810, 6800, 6810, 2900,
4900, or 6900 systems, download PowerChute Network
Shutdown Software (PCNS) version 4.3 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. Site disturbances on the neutral conductor measured to earth ground are
allowed to reach the load under normal operating conditions. ftServer V Series systems require
an isolation transformer on the UPS output to 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.
