Equipment to Support UPS Monitoring
This section describes the installation of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units that support
Mitel 5000 Communications Servers. See “Compatible UPS Units” on page 4-9.
The UPS connects directly to an Mitel 5000 USB port, and you should use only the USB cable
provided by the UPS manufacturer. Product validation testing has determined that non-original
equipment manufacturer (non-OEM) cables interfere with UPS Monitoring feature operation.
With an Mitel CS-5200 or CS-5400 system, the UPS is connected to the USB-A port located on
the front of the Base Server. Because only one USB port exists on the Base Server, if the port is
occupied with a flash drive, it must be removed. The use of a USB hub to increase the number
of ports is also supported. See “Compatible USB Hubs” on page 4-9.
With an Mitel CS-5600, the UPS must be connected to an available USB port on the Processing
Server (PS-1). Four USB ports are located on the back of the PS-1.
If upgrading from a CS-5200 or CS-5400 system to a CS-5600 system, the cable from the UPS
must be connected to a USB port on the PS-1 following the upgrade. The UPS must connect to
the server running call processing (CP) software in order for the UPS Monitoring feature to
operate correctly.
To avoid electrically induced performance problems, all associated Mitel 5000 equipment should
be sourced from the same AC phase and ground reference. To assure that the electrical source
is the same, plug Mitel 5000 equipment into the same UPS unit. A common electrical source is
most critical with Mitel 5000 Base Server and associated Digital Equipment Interface (DEI)
units.
Because the CS-5600 Processing Server (PS-1) is IP networked, a common electrical source is
not as critical. However, if wattage and outlets are available, the CS-5600 should be maintained
on the same UPS. The CS-5600 Processing Server (PS-1) does not require its own UPS unit.
IMPORTANT
Comply with the following electrical requirements when installing or
upgrading Mitel 5000 equipment:
• Plug Mitel 5000 equipment into the same UPS unit, in particular the
Base Server and associated Digital Equipment Interface (DEI) units. If
wattage and outlets are available, the CS-5600 Processing Server (PS-
1) should be maintained on the same UPS. The PS-1 does not require
its own UPS unit.
• The UPS unit must be plugged into an isolated, dedicated circuit
providing required voltage, current, and grounding specifications.
• The power rating of the UPS unit must exceed the combined power
ratings of all Mitel 5000 units the UPS supports.
