•
UPS mains distribution kit (unterminated external mains cable, pack of 8 internal mains cables, shutdown module)
•
Share UPS module if more than one server is to be connected to the UPS
•
Signal cable for each server except the first one (because one cable is included with the UPS)

for rack UPS information. At present, full support for a UPS is not available
if UnixWare 7 is used.
The 3kVA rack-mount unit (SV537035) powers the equipment in one rack. It must be mounted at the bottom
of the rack.
If a UPS is required, the following products must be ordered:
•
a UPS which is appropriate for the local mains supply
•
an appropriate UPS Mains Distribution Kit
•
a Share UPS Module and one or more PowerChute Signal Cables, if the UPS is to power more than one
server
The number of Processor and/or Disk Nodes that can be driven by one UPS is influenced by the power
consumption of the components which are installed. The hold-up time must be long enough (eg 10 minutes) to
permit the system to shut down completely if the mains supply fails for a lengthy period of time.
