3: TRANSPORTING YOUR SMART-UPS

The UPS may be transported in or out of the rack. In either case the battery must be disconnected!

Always DISCONNECT THE BATTERY before shipping the UPS to avoid damage during transport. (U.S. Federal Regulation requires that batteries are disconnected during shipment.) The battery may remain in the UPS; it does not have to be re- moved.

This requirement applies whether the UPS is shipped alone or installed in an equipment rack or system.

DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY

The battery is accessible from the front of the UPS. This pro- cedure requires a Phillips head screwdriver.

1.Shut down any equipment attached to the UPS.

2.Disconnect the UPS from the power supply.

3.Face the front of the UPS to remove the bezel. Use both hands and grasp the finger clips on either side of the

bezel. Pull toward you. The bezel will unsnap. Set the bezel aside.

4.Use a screwdriver to remove the two battery door screws

and open the door.

5.To disconnect the battery, take out the white cord that is tucked into the space above the battery Œ. This cord serves as a handle for the connector. Grasp the cord and

Œ

pull firmly toward you.

6. Tuck the white cord on top of the battery pack.

7. Close the battery door and replace the two screws re- moved in Step 4.

Leave the front bezel off unless the UPS is being transported in a rack.
