Changing power distribution mode
This product is compatible with 3-in 3-out/3-in 1-out, factory default: 3-in 3-out.
If you need to change the mode from 3-in 3-out to 3-in 1-out or from 3-in 1-out to 3-in 3-out, carry out the parallel
connection after changing the single system to the needed system (Refer to Changing power distribution mode in
2.5.1 Connecting I/O cables for the changing method).
3.4.2 Connecting Parallel Cables
The parallel system provides parallel cable option. The parallel cables form a ring connection through the parallel
ports on the rear panel of the UPS. The cable connection schematic diagram of 3 + 1 parallel system is shown in
Figure 3-3. The first port on the left is DB9 male port (pin shape), and the second port on the left is DB9 female port
(hole shape).
