Step 2: Install the Network Management Card
If the UPS uses multiple management products, you must install them in the correct
order for them to operate properly.
See “How to Install Multiple Management Cards” on page 21.
The UPS Network Management Card (NMC 2) is sensitive to static
electricity. When handling the NMC 2, touch only the end plate while
using one or more of these electrostatic-discharge devices (ESDs):
wrist straps, heel straps, toe straps, or conductive shoes.
If a cable is connected to the serial port at the UPS or chassis, stop the APC service
that uses that serial connection, and disconnect the cable.
1. If you are installing a chassis, connect the chassis to the UPS serial port.
2. Use the same screws that hold the expansion slot cover in place to secure
the NMC 2 in the chassis slot.
3. Connect a network interface cable to the 10/100Base-T network connector
on the front panel of the NMC 2.
4. If you are using the AC Adapter (AP9505), connect the adapter to the
chassis. Then connect the adapter to an independent AC input so that the
NMC 2 can continue to operate if the UPS is turned off or not operating.
5. If you disconnected a cable in step 1, reconnect that cable to the serial port
at the chassis, and restart the associated APC service.
6. See “Quick Configuration” on page 9.
