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 shipping package contains the UPS (with batteries disconnected); its front bezel (packaged separately); feet (required in tower configuration); and a literature kit con- taining a software CD, one serial cable, power cord(s), screws for the feet, and product documenta- tion.

The UPS is shipped with the battery disconnected and the front bezel removed. You will connect the battery and install the plastic bezel (described later) during the installa- tion procedure.

POSITIONING THE UPS

Place the UPS where it will be used. The UPS is heavy. It requires two people for installation due to its weight. To lighten the UPS, you may remove the battery while you position the UPS. See Re- moving the Battery Pack, below, for instructions. 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 each side.

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