Installation Manual
How to Install Multiple Management Cards
Overview
When installing more than one APC management card, you must install the
cards in the order described in this document because they share a serial link
with the connected UPS. Installing the cards in any other order may result in
failure for them to operate properly.
Before you start
The following table identifies the priority of the management cards you will be
installing. Management cards that have more control over the UPS have higher
priority.
• Level 6: Exerts total control
• Level 5: Exerts wide, but not total, control
• Level 4: Exerts limited control
• Level 3: Passes commands to the UPS
• Level 2: Exerts no control
• Level 1: Exerts no control and must be installed closest to the UPS
Two models of expansion chassis
If you need management card slots in addition to those in your UPS, use one or
more expansion chassis available from APC.
