Introduction, Unpacking, Positioning the UPS

Introduction

American Power Conversion Corporation (APC) is the leading national and international manufac- turer of state-of-the-art uninterruptible power supplies, redundant switches, power management soft- ware, and related equipment. APC products protect hardware, software, and data from power distur- bances in business and government offices throughout the world.

The APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges from reaching your computer and other valuable electronic equipment. The UPS filters small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally dis- connecting from the utility line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery until the utility line returns to safe levels or the battery is discharged.

1: INSTALLATION

Read the Safety Instruction sheet before installing the UPS.

Unpacking

Inspect the UPS upon receipt. APC designed robust packaging for your product. However, accidents 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.

Check the package contents. The package contains the UPS, the front bezel, a literature kit contain- ing one CD, one serial cable, one USB cable, product documentation and Safety Information. The package also includes rails, brackets, and a hardware packet, (necessary for rack mounting the UPS).

230V models: Two IEC jumper cables are included and a utility connector plug is included for use on servers with permanently attached power cords.

The UPS is shipped with the battery disconnected.

Positioning the UPS

Place the UPS where it will be used. The UPS is heavy. Select a location sturdy enough to handle the weight.

Do not operate the UPS where there is excessive dust or the temperature and humidity are outside the specified limits.
