Uninterruptible Power Supply
This power supply is designed to keep your system powered up for a
limited period of time after a power failure. It is equipped with an on-line
removable battery pack and will give you enough time to shutdown the
network and the server without losing valuable data. The power supply,
including the battery pack, occupies the entire lower level of the server
chassis.
The UPS will maintain power to the system for a minimum of 4 minutes
in a fully-laden system, i.e. equipped with 20 hard disk drives. This time
will be longer in a system equipped with fewer drives.
Note
In the event that the mains power fails, the LCD will display a countdown of the
number of seconds remaining until the battery pack is fully discharged. The Event
Manager User's Guide contains more details about this feature.
Cooling Fans
Your Apricot is equipped with six large cooling fans, three on each side
of the machine. These will prevent overheating by maintaining an
appropriate temperature inside the system.
In addition there are two cooling fans within the UPS unit.
Caution
You must maintain at least 15 cm space around the server for ventilation. Otherwise
damage could result from overheating.
