Installation, Enough to handle the weight

2: INSTALLATION

The UPS has a “rack” design so it can be mounted in a 19-inch (46.5 cm) equipment rack. Hardware is provided.

UNPACKING

1.Inspect the UPS upon receipt. APC designed robust packaging for your product. However, acci- dents and damage may occur during shipment. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage. The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it properly.

2.Check the package contents. The shipping package contains the UPS (with batteries discon- nected), its front bezel (packaged separately), mounting rails, mounting cleats, hardware packet (necessary for rack mounting the UPS), and a literature kit containing cable(s), and product documentation.

The UPS is shipped with the front bezel removed (it is packaged separately within the main box). You will connect the plastic bezel (described later) during the installation procedure.

POSITIONING THE UPS

Place the rack and the UPS where they will be used. The UPS is heavy. Select a location sturdy

enough to handle the weight.

You must install the UPS in a protected area that is free of excessive dust and has adequate airflow. Ensure the air vents on the front and rear of the UPS are not blocked. Allow at least one inch of space on both sides.

Do not operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity are outside the specified limits. Refer to Specifications at the APC web site, www.apc.com.
