1: SAFETY INFORMATION

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 the threat of power disturbances 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 out small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from the utility line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery until the utility line returns to safe levels.

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party respon- sible for compliance could void the warranty.

HANDLING SAFETY

The UPS requires two people for installation due to its weight. To lighten the UPS, you may remove the battery while you position or mount it in the rack. Refer to the Operation Manual for instructions on how to remove the battery.
