The APC Silcon Triple Chassis (AP9604S) is an American Power Conversion (APC) external
management peripheral that allows you to use monitoring and control management
peripherals with your APC Silcon series UPS. The retrofit model (AP9604SR) is for use with
Silcon series UPSs that are not equipped with a 24 VDC power port.

Connections using a cable made by any other manufacturer may cause damage or improper
operation of the APC Silcon Triple Chassis, the UPS, or the computer.
