Install the Batteries, Connect Equipment to the UPS

3. Install the Batteries

Note:

All UPSs ship with the batteries disconnected. In addition, 5000 VA units have the batteries shipped outside the

UPS case so you must install the batteries before connecting them.

If you need to ship the UPS you must disconnect the batteries prior to shipment in order to comply with U.S.

Federal Regulations. Refer to Appendix B: Transporting Your Smart-UPS, page 17, for details.

1.Reach into the finger pull and open the front cover. Swing the cover open as shown.

Remove the front bezel by grasping the finger clips on the side of the bezel and carefully loosening the four (4) snaps. Skip to step 3.

2.Unhook the side of the cover from the chassis and lift it away to expose the battery door.

3.Use a screwdriver or a coin to remove the two (2) battery door screws and open the door.

4. To connect the battery (or set), press the gray connector into the plug at the top of the battery housing. You may see small sparks when connecting the battery.

Note:

There are four (4) battery packs that must be installed. Be careful lifting the batteries -

they are heavy. Support the bottom of the batteries as you move them.

5. Hold the battery pack so that the leads are on the right hand side. Slide the battery pack into the UPS.

Press the gray connector into the plug at the right-hand side of the battery compartment. Tuck the white cord (that serves as a handle for the connector) neatly to the side.

6.Repeat step 5 for the remaining three (3) battery packs.

7.Close the battery door, replace the screws, and replace the front cover.

4.Connect Equipment to the UPS

•Use your equipment’s power cords to connect to the UPS.

Caution:

DO NOT use a standard serial interface cable to connect to the Computer Interface Port on the UPS. Standard

serial interface cables are incompatible with the UPS connector. Use the cable provided with your UPS.

•Turn on all connected equipment.

5.Power up the UPS and Accessories

•Press the UPS’s ON switch to turn on your UPS. This will power-up connected equipment.

•The unit performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and every two weeks thereafter.

•The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power. The battery charges fully during the first four hours of normal operation. Do not expect full run time during this initial charge period.

6.Install PowerChute and Accessories

Note:

This UPS is equipped with a SmartSlot for accessories. See the APC Website (www.apcc.com) for available accessories. If a standard accessory is installed in this UPS, a User’s Manual for the accessory is included in the package.

For additional computer system security, install PowerChute UPS monitoring software. It provides automatic unattended shutdown capabilities on most major network operating systems. Once PowerChute is loaded, install the PowerChute® black communication cable between UPS and computer. See the Software Installation: Instruction Sheet for details.
