The Eaton 9390 UPS has two standard, factory-installed X-Slot communication bays with two slots each. See
Figure 86 for bay locations. The UPS is compatible with the following X-Slot cards (see12.1 X-Slot Cards):
• PPoowweerr XXppeerrtt GGaatteewwaayy CCaarrdd - provides a data gateway from the UPS to the Power Xpert Software;
provides remote monitoring through a Web browser interface, e-mail, and a network management system
using SNMP; connects to a twisted-pair Ethernet (10/100BaseT) network. Modbus TCP support provides
direct integration of the UPS's parameters to a Building Management System (BMS). It has a built-in
switching hub that allows a second network device to be connected to the network without the
requirement of an additional network drop.
• CCoonnnneeccttUUPPSS--XX WWeebb//SSNNMMPP CCaarrdd - has SNMP and HTTP capabilities as well as monitoring through a Web
browser interface; connects to a twisted-pair Ethernet (10/100BaseT) network. It has a built-in switching
hub that allows three additional network devices to be connected to the network without the requirement
of additional network drops. In addition, an Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) can be attached to
obtain humidity, temperature, smoke alarm, and security information.
• RReellaayy IInntteerrffaaccee CCaarrdd ((AASS//440000)) - has isolated dry contact (Form-C) relay outputs for UPS status: Utility
failure, Low battery, UPS alarm/OK, or On bypass when interfacing with IBMÒ AS/400 computers, other
relay connected computers, and industrial applications.
• MMooddbbuuss CCaarrdd - provides direct integration of UPS information (meters and status) to a BMS using the
Modbus RTU protocol.
• MMuullttii--SSeerrvveerr CCaarrdd - has six serial communication ports that can communicate simultaneously with other
computers using LanSafe Power Management Software (provided on the Software Suite CD).
NNOOTTEE The Modem Card cannot be installed in X-Slot 2.
• MMooddeemm CCaarrdd - provides out-of-band remote notification and monitoring using modem communication
directly to cell phones and pagers.
• SSiinnggllee--PPoorrtt CCaarrdd - provides serial communication.
LAN and telephone drops for use with X-Slot cards must be provided by facility planners or the customer.
For installation and setup of an X-Slot card, please contact Eaton (see 1.7 Getting Help). Refer to the manual
supplied with the X-Slot card for user instructions.
