Hi The BR1600SI uses a C13/C14 outlet while the PSU Corsair HX1500. Uses a C19/C20 plug from what I saw
meaning this unit is designed for a higher amp rating typically the C13/C14 s rated at 10 Amps while the C19/C20 is rated for 16 amps if you are in the US as per electrical code you should only use 80% of the capacity to avoid overheating of the conductors. The power supply is at 1500 watts at 230 (1500 /230 = 6.52 amps) it will only run a maximum of 6.5 amps way below the capacity of a C19 or even a C13 plug you can get a C19 to C14 cable to use for the power supply

Also please note that the UPS BR1600SI can only support a load of 960 watts on battery so if you are maximizing the UPS capability you may need to get a bigger UPS
See Rated Power in watts on the UPS product page
