Installing your UPS requires five steps:

1.Position the UPS in the desired location. For rack mount units this may include installing the rails into the rack.

2.Connect the batteries. All UPSs ship with the batteries disconnected. In 5000 VA units you must also install the batteries in the UPS.

3.Connect equipment to the UPS.

4.Power up the UPS.

5.Install PowerChute® UPS monitoring software and accessories.

1.Position the UPS

Placement

Install the UPS in a protected area that is free of excessive dust and has adequate air flow. Do not operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity are outside the specified limits.

Warning!

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the

warranty.

Installing Rack Mount Units

The rack mount UPS comes with standard 19” (46.5 cm) rack mount brackets (ears) installed. The 3000 and 5000 VA models of the UPS are supplied with rails to support them in the rack. These supports may be used to ease installation for 19” or 23” racks. The supports are available as an accessory for the 1400 VA model. Contact your dealer or APC at the number listed under APC Contact Information, page 21, for more information. See Appendix B: Types of Racks and Mounting Hardware, page 26, for more information and installation instructions.

Caution:

Two or more people are required to install the 3000 and 5000 VA models due to their weight. The 5000 VA models must

be put into position before the batteries are installed.

Installing the UPS in a rack involves a four-step process:

1.Determine the location of the UPS in the rack.

2.Install the mounting rails in the rack.

3.Load the UPS into the rack.

4.Attach the mounting brackets to the rack. This section describes each step in detail.

Determine the Location of the UPS in the Rack

UPSs are heavy. Select a rack location sturdy enough to handle the weight. Mount the UPS at or near the bottom of the rack.

Select a rack location with adequate air flow that is free from excessive dust. Ensure that any air vents on the sides of the UPS are not blocked. Do not operate the UPS where temperature or humidity are outside the limits listed under Specifications, page 19.

Two additional sets of bracket holes, shown below at asterisks (*), are located on the sides of all rack mount UPS models except the 5000 VA. These holes allow mounting the brackets with a three inch or six inch setback. Move the mounting brackets back if desired to optimize the esthetic or physical requirements of the rack. The 5000 VA unit cannot be mounted in a setback position since it requires the full depth of the rack.
