Save these instructions. This document contains important safety instructions that should be followed during installation, operation, and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.

WARNING: A risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels exists. The installation of options and routine maintenance and service of this product must be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with AC power products.

WARNING: To prevent personal injury from earth conductor leakage current:

•Do not operate the UPS while disconnected from the utility power source.

Preparing to install the hardware

Before installing the hardware:

1.Be sure the necessary tools and materials ("Tools required" on page 10) are available.

2.Select an installation site ("Selecting a site" on page 10).

3.Prepare the equipment ("Readying the equipment" on page 11) for installation in the rack.

Tools required

A Philips screwdriver is required.

Selecting a site

WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, install the unit in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants.

When selecting a site, consider the following factors:

•Elevated operating ambient temperature—If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient temperature. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the operating temperature ("Environmental specifications" on page 36).

•Reduced air flow—In the rack, the rate of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment must not be compromised.
