How to Install Minuteman PRO-RT PRO1500RT2U
- Plan your installation by selecting a location with adequate ventilation and near the devices you want to protect. Decide whether you will mount in a rack (2U height), place on a stable surface as a tower, or mount on a wall according to your space constraints.
- Mount the UPS securely in your chosen configuration. For rack use, slide the unit into the 2U rack space and secure it with the provided hardware. For tower use, place on a stable surface away from foot traffic. If wall-mounting, follow the manufacturer’s mounting guidance to ensure stability.
- Connect critical devices to the UPS output outlets. Leave nonessential peripherals on non-critical outlets to optimize run-time during an outage.
- Connect the UPS to building power via the input cord and verify that the unit recognizes the mains supply. Confirm that the LCD display lights up and shows normal operating parameters.
- Install any management software or drivers required for safe shutdown and monitoring. Connect the USB/Serial cable to a server or management workstation and configure shutdown policies, event alerts, and SNMP options if available.
- Perform a self-test and a basic load test to verify that the UPS can sustain connected devices during a simulated outage. Observe the run-time estimates, automatic shutdown sequences, and alarm indicators to confirm proper operation.
- Document the configuration for future maintenance and ensure battery replacement timelines are integrated into your IT lifecycle plan. Regularly review alerts and run periodic tests to maintain readiness for real power events.
Frequently asked questions
