Statement 1: DANGER Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables is hazardous. To avoid a shock hazard: v Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm. v Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet.
(CLI) If firmware and documentation updates are available, you can download them from the IBM web site. The network management card might have features that are not described in the documentation that comes with the UPS, and the documentation might be updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in the network management card documentation.
Notices and statements in this document The caution and danger statements in this document are also in the multilingual Safety Information document, which is on the IBM Documentation CD. Each statement is numbered for reference to the corresponding statement in the Safety Information document.

Installing the network management card in the UPS You can install the IBM Network Management Card in an IBM UPS that has a communication bay. You do not have to turn off the UPS or disconnect the load. To install the network management card, complete the following steps: 1.
Page 20
3. Carefully slide the network management card into the bay and align the screw holes on the network management card with the screw holes on the UPS communication bay. Secure the network management card to the UPS with the screws that you removed in step 2 on page 9.
Wait approximately 2 minutes until the UPS data LED flashes regularly, indicating normal operation. (See “LEDs and connectors” on page 6.) Note: You will be able to set the network management card parameters through the settings/sensor connector even if the network management card is not connected to the network.
Page 22
3. Connect the RJ-45 end of the serial communication cable (which comes with the network management card) to the settings/sensor connector on the network management card. Note: Make sure there is a physical RS-232 DB-9 port on the computer that you are connecting to the UPS.
Page 23
If your network is connected to a DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 server, the network management card automatically collects the IP parameters. Note: If the network management card is not connected to the network, it continuously attempts to make a connection. After the connection is established, the LEDs indicate the status (see “LEDs and connectors”...

This chapter describes the shutdown criteria that are managed by the network management card, the shutdown sequence, and load segments. Note: If you are using IBM UPS Manager as the power management software, keep the shutdown criteria in the network management card at the default settings, which enables IBM UPS Manager to program the settings correctly.
Load segments Some UPS models are equipped with load segments. Load segments are sets of receptacles that can be controlled through the network management card, providing an orderly shutdown and startup of your equipment. Load segments are dependent on the main output of the UPS. Shutdown of the main output causes shutdown of the load segments.
The network management card tracks the shutdown times required by the configured equipment connected to the UPS. To protect all connected equipment, the network management card uses the maximum required shutdown time for the Shutdown Duration parameter. Chapter 6. Shutdown criteria and sequence...
