INSTALLATION
The Universal Serial Bus Module (USB module) is an X-SlotZ
connectivity device that allows your UPS to communicate with a
USB-compliant computer using LanSafe III power management software.
The following requirements must be met to install the USB module:
: A computer with a USB port
: LanSafe III (v4.15 or higher) power management software
: Microsoft Windows 98 or 2000
: A Powerware UPS with an X-Slot such as the 9125
Inspecting the Equipment
If any equipment has been damaged during shipment, keep the shipping
cartons and packing materials for the carrier or place of purchase and
file a claim for shipping damage. If you discover damage after
acceptance, file a claim for concealed damage.
To file a claim for shipping damage or concealed damage: 1) File with
the carrier within 15 days of receipt of the equipment; 2) Send a copy of
the damage claim within 15 days to your service representative.
Preparation
Before installing the USB module, complete the following list:
1. The UPS should be installed and operating in Normal mode
(see the UPS User’s Guide for installation instructions).
2. If LanSafe III/FailSafe III is installed on your PC, uninstall the
software.
NOTE FailSafe III does not support the X-Slot USB module and must be uninstalled to
prevent installation and compatibility problems.

Installing the USB Module
Installing the USB Module
To install the USB module, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the X-Slot cover (or existing X-Slot module) on the
UPS rear panel. Retain the screws (see Figure 1).
NOTE UPSs with a single X-Slot may have another X-Slot module already installed
(such as the Powerware 9125 UPS). If there is a communication cable attached to this
module, disconnect the cable and then remove the X-Slot module.

metal surface such as the UPS rear panel.
Align the USB module with the slot guides and slide the module
into the slot until it is firmly seated.
3. Secure the USB module with the screws removed in Step 1.
