Installation Setup

Location Requirements

Install the Powerware 9170 UPS as close as possible to the equipment or the load distribution panel it will protect. If this distance is more than 25 ft (7.6m), transient noise can reappear in the electrical distribution system.

If additional Powerware 9170 system batteries are in a separate cabinet, the external battery cabinet should be located as close as possible to the Powerware 9170 UPS. If the batteries will be further from the unit than the standard cables allow, contact your service representative or your local distributor for assistance.

UPS Unpacking and Setup

The Powerware 9170 UPS is shipped in a carton on a shipping pallet. Power and battery modules are shipped in separate boxes on another pallet. Three-slot cabinets and modules are shipped on one pallet.

NOTE Verify that all Powerware 9170 UPS power modules are the proper type for the UPS cabinet: Universal (single-phase) modules have white labels; split-phase modules have blue labels. Do not mix blue and white modules in the same UPS cabinet.

To open the UPS carton and remove the UPS from its shipping pallet, use one of the following procedures. Also refer to the unpacking instruction sheet (LTS-1724) packed inside the UPS shipping carton.

Three- and Six-Slot Cabinets

1.Open the top of the carton by cutting the banding straps that hold the carton to the pallet. Open the carton flaps or lift the cover off.

2.Remove any packing material inside the carton. Also remove the cartons from the cabinet module slots containing front panel bezels, electrical or mechanical hardware, and printed material.

3.Two people are required to lift the cabinet; one to lift the two front straps and one to lift the two rear straps.

NOTE Do not attempt to lift the cabinet by the module shelves or other convenient edges or panels.
