2 INSTALLATION
Do not start the UPS until after the installation is finished.
WARNING! Risk of electrical shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death. Before
beginning installation, verify that all external overcurrent protection devices are open (Off), and
that they are locked-out and tagged appropriately to prevent activation during the installation,
verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear appropriate, OSHA-approved personal
protective equipment (PPE) per NFPA 70E. Failure to comply can cause serious injury or death.
Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions. Follow all local codes.
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Unpack the UPS and conduct the following checks:
• Inspect the UPS for shipping damage. If any shipping damage is found, report it to the carrier
and your local Vertiv representative immediately.
• Check the accessories included against the packing list. If there is any discrepancy, contact
your local Vertiv representative immediately.
CAUTION: The UPS is heavy (see Specifications on page57, for the weight). Take proper
precautions when lifting or moving the unit.
2.2 Pre-installation Preparation
• Install the UPS indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally turned Off.
The installation environment should meet the specifications listed in Specifications on page57.
• Place the UPS in an area of unrestricted air-flow around the unit, away from water, flammable
liquids, gases, corrosives, and conductive contaminants. Avoid direct sunlight
NOTE: Operating the UPS in temperatures above 77°F (25°C) reduces battery life.
2.2.1 Installation Clearances
Maintain at least 4in.(100mm) clearance in the front and rear of the UPS. Do not obstruct the air inlets on
the front panel and rear panel of the UPS. Blocking the air inlets reduces ventilation and heat dissipation,
shortening the service life of the unit.
2.3 Installing the UPS
The UPS may be installed as a tower or in a rack, depending on available space and use considerations.
Determine the type of installation and follow the appropriate instructions. See Tower Installation on the
next page or Rack Installation on the next page.
NOTE: When installing the UPS or making input and output connections, comply with all relevant
safety codes and standards
