Overview  
Remote Emergency Power Off Port  
The UPS includes an isolated REPO port. The REPO feature allows the UPS to be powered  
down from a remote location. To use this feature, the REPO port must be connected to a  
remote, normally open switch (not supplied). When this switch is closed, the UPS  
immediately disconnects power from its load segments.  
To power down the entire network in the event of an emergency, the REPO ports of multiple  
UPS units can be connected to a single switch.  
IMPORTANT: The REPO port meets the requirements of NFPA Articles 645-10 and 645-11 for a  
disconnecting means.  
IMPORTANT:  
If the remote switch is closed, the REPO feature powers down protected devices immediately and  
does not utilize the orderly shutdown procedure initiated by HP power management software.  
The REPO feature shuts down UPS units operating under either utility or battery power.  
If the UPS was operating on battery power when the remote switch was closed, no power will be  
available to the devices until utility power is restored and manually powered up.  
Warranties  
To back up the wide range of features offered with the UPS, HP provides a three-year limited  
warranty.  
$25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee  
In addition to the limited warranty, HP offers a $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee  
(provided by the original equipment manufacturer).  
IMPORTANT: The $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee is offered only in North America.  
The $25,000 Computer Load Protection Guarantee applies only if:  
The UPS is plugged into a suitably grounded and wired outlet using no extension cords,  
adapters, other ground wires, or other electrical connections.  
The UPS installation complies with all applicable electrical and safety codes specified by  
the National Electrical Code (NEC).  
The UPS is used under normal operating conditions. Users must comply with all  
instructions and labels.  
The UPS is not damaged by accident (other than a utility power transient), misuse, or  
abuse.

Electrostatic Discharge  
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when  
setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other  
conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage  
may reduce the life expectancy of the device.  
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:  
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free  
workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.  
Grounding Methods  
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when  
handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:  
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer  
chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm 10 percent  
resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the  
skin.  
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on  
both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.  
Use conductive field service tools.  
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.  
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized  
reseller install the part.  
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation, contact your
