HP r12000 xr User Manual

After installing the new battery module, press the Test/Alarm Reset button. Refer to the 
section, “Initiating a Self-Test,” in Chapter 2 for more information on initiating a self-test. 

 

IMPORTANT:  The UPS schedules the battery test, but will not execute the test until the batteries are at 
least 90 percent charged. 

If the installation has been successful, the Alarm LED will not be illuminated. 

If the installation has not been successful, the Alarm LED turns red and the LCD menu 
indicates an alarm. If this occurs, repeat the procedures in the “Replacing the Batteries” 
section of this chapter, and check the battery terminal connections. If the Alarm LED is still 
red, refer to Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” for more information on the cause of the alarm. 

 

IMPORTANT:  The batteries will charge to 80 percent of their capacity within approximately 
three hours. Charge the batteries for 24 hours before using the UPS to supply backup power to devices. 
The load may not be fully protected for 48 hours. 

When replacing battery modules, it is recommended running a battery commissioning test. 
This test will set a base line so that the UPS accurately displays battery run-time. Refer to the 
section, “Setting the Hardware Configuration,” in Chapter 3 for instructions on enabling the 
battery commissioning test.  

 

NOTE:  The battery commissioning test runs in the background. Once enabled, the test can take up to 
three days to run.  

The spare battery kit includes the instructions and packaging required to return used batteries 
to the appropriate location for disposal. 
 

 

Batteries, battery modules, and accumulators should not be disposed of 
together with the general household waste. In order to forward them to 
recycling or proper disposal, use the public collection system or return them 
to HP, your authorized HP Partners, or their agents.
