Telephone/Network Protection Jacks: These jacks protect your
equipment against surges over a telephone/network data line.
Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will
work properly without this connection.
Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Fan: The fan cools the UPS's internal components. It operates only
when the UPS is in battery backup mode, is charging its batteries or is
carrying a heavy electrical load.
Input Breaker (SMC1500T only): Protect your electrical equipment
from overcurrent draw from the UPS load. If this breaker trips, remove
some of the load, then reset it by pressing the breaker in.
