select a location.

Moving the UPS to the Installation Site

The UPS is heavy. Two people, one on each side, must support the UPS when it is being
transported on the cart to the rack; installed, or removed from the rack.
A qualified electrician must install or remove battery modules.
Two people are required to lift, move, install, or remove battery and power modules. The
battery and power modules are heavy.
Do not install battery modules until you are ready to power up the UPS. Batteries can be
permanently damaged if loaded prematurely.
To comply with FAA regulations, the battery modules are shipped disconnected to
the UPS.
Mounting rails are included with the UPS. The rails support the unit in the rack.
