4: TRANSPORT, MAINTENANCE, AND TROUBLESHOOTING
TRANSPORTING YOUR UPS
Always DISCONNECT THE BATTERY before shipping in compliance with U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.
This requirement applies whether the UPS is shipped alone or installed in an
equipment rack or system.
Follow these steps to prepare the UPS for transport.
Due to its weight, removing the UPS from a rack requires two people.
1. Shut down any equipment attached to the UPS.
2. Disconnect the UPS from the power supply.
3. If your unit is in the Tower Configuration, skip this step and continue with Step 4, below. To
remove the unit from a rack, reverse the steps for installation of the UPS into the rack found in
the Rack Mount Installation Sheet found in the Rail Kit.
4. Remove the front bezel. If you are using the original UPS packaging, you must pack the front
bezel separate from the UPS. Reverse the step for attaching the front bezel found in the Installa-
tion section of this manual.
5. Disconnect the external battery.
6. Your UPS can now be placed in its original packaging for transport.
STORAGE
STORAGE CONDITIONS:
Store the UPS in a cool, dry location, with its batteries fully charged. Disconnect any cables con-
nected to the computer interface port to avoid unnecessary battery drainage.
