Important Notice The UPS ground (earth) conductor carries leakage current from the loads in addition to any leakage current generated by the UPS. This UPS generates no more than 1 mA of current. To limit the total leakage current to 3.5 mA, the load leakage must be limited to 2.5 mA. The threewire receptacle that you plug the UPS into must have a good (low-impedance) ground (protective earth) connection to provide a safe path for leakage current.

If You Have a Question Customer Support If you have a question or problem, Table 3, Troubleshooting, may help. If you need more help, please have your UPS model number and serial number (on the back label) nearby, and call the SOLA office nearest you (see the SOLA offices section). SOLA’s service technicians have in-depth knowledge of the UPS and power problems. SOLA may tell you the UPS must be returned. If this happens, we will give you a Return Authorisation (RA) number.

2 Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS! SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! This User Guide contains important instructions for your Sola 620 Rackmount that must be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. CAUTION! Whenever the Sola 620 Rackmount is “On,” there may be dangerous voltage present at the unit’s outlets. This is true because the unit’s battery supplies power even if the unit is not plugged into the wall outlet. The unit contains dangerous voltages.
3 UPS Features The Sola 620 Rackmount provides protection against power problems, including power outages, brownouts, and sudden increases in power. It also provides spike suppression and line noise filtering to protect your equipment. Front panel LEDs and an audible alarm keep you aware of the unit’s status. Use the drawings on this and the following page to identify features of the unit.

5 Rack Installation Mount the Sola 620 Rackmount in a 19-inch (483-mm) EIA 310 C standard rack. Do not try to mount the unit if the rack is too wide. Do not rely on the front mountings only to support the weight of the unit. Install a stationary shelf or supporting angle brackets (available as standard rack hardware from electronics distributors) below the intended rack location for the Sola 620 Rackmount. Secure the shelf or brackets at both the front and back of the rack using bolts, nuts, and washers.
6 Wall Installation The Sola 620 Rackmount is shipped with screws and brackets to mount it to a wall surface. You must attach one bracket to each side of the UPS, and then mount the UPS to the wall. Install the UPS by following the instructions below. NOTE: The procedure requires two people. 1 Note that the brackets (items 1 and 2 in the drawing) are not identical. They must be attached to the Sola 620 Rackmount so that the narrow side of key slots is up, as shown in the drawing below.
7 Connection to External Battery Packs Before connecting the input power cord, connect all intended battery packs to the Sola 620 Rackmount by following the guidelines below. The battery packs for 1000 and 1500 VA units may be linked serially (daisy-chained) to a maximum of two packs. The battery packs for 2000 and 3000 VA units may be daisy-chained to a maximum of five packs. Do not exceed these limits.
8 Quick Startup 1 2 3 Connect the power cord to the back of the unit. Plug the UPS into a wall outlet. Let the unit charge the battery for at least 8 hours. You may use the unit while the battery charges, but the battery backup runtime will be reduced until the battery is fully charged. Start the Sola 620 Rackmount by pressing and holding the On/Standby button (large button in the center of the front panel) in for about one second.
9 Symbols, LEDs and Audible Alarms The front panel indicators (LEDs) and an audible beep indicate the unit status. The unit beeps whenever the unit is on battery power or an alarm exists. See Figure 1 for information about the LEDs and Table 1 for information about alarm displays. Figure 1: Front Panel LEDs Constant: Operating on AC line. Blinking: Operating in Bypass. Constant: Operating on batteries (inverter). (C) (D) (E) (F) AC Line Operation: Battery Operation: % of rated load.

(A) (B) (B) (B) (B) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) The UPS is performing a battery test. No action needed. The UPS returns to normal operation when it successfully completes the battery test. (E) (F) Battery test has determined the batteries are overcharged. Turn off protected loads. Turn off the UPS and phone SOLA Service.
11 To silence an alarm, press the alarm silence button on the front panel. The beep will stop, but the alarm light will stay on. Note: Silencing the alarm does not solve the problem that caused it. To correct the problem, see Tables 2 and 3. Table 2: Audible Beeps Number of Beeps What It Means 1 every 5 seconds Line Loss: The unit is on battery power. See Table 3 for more information.
12 Troubleshooting If you have a question or problem, the troubleshooting table may help. (See Table 3.) If you need assistance, phone SOLA Service or your local SOLA office. Please have the model number and serial number (located on the rear of the unit) available. If the unit must be returned, SOLA will give you a Return Authorisation (RA) number. Phone SOLA for an RA number before returning the unit for any reason.
13 Replacing the Batteries (1000VA and 1500VA only) The Sola 620 Rackmount batteries are user-replaceable and can be replaced while the Sola 620 Rackmount has AC input applied and powers the loads (hot-swappable). This means that, if necessary, you can replace the batteries while the UPS is running. Before you replace the batteries, make sure that you read the safety information below.
14 Battery Replacement Instructions (1000VA and 1500VA only) 1 2 Phone SOLA Service to order a replacement battery pack. It must be the same type and rating of the original batteries. See Battery information in Specifications. 3 4 5 6 7 Use the drawing below to identify the location on the battey pack in the Sola 620 Rackmount. 8 9 Position the new battery tray and its cables so they will not be pinched by the interior panel or the battery pack. Slide the battery pack into the unit.
15 Interface Port The Sola 620 Rackmount comes equipped with CheckUPS II power management software. Instructions included with the CheckUPS II CD tell you how to install the software. An interface cable for the following systems is provided. SCO UNIX/XENIX Windows 3.X, 95 and NT UNIX and Compatible Systems Novell NetWare OS/2 SOLA offers interface kits that allow you to connect many other computer systems to the Sola 620 Rackmount interface port.
