Appendix C: Transporting Your Smart-UPS
Follow these guidelines if you need to ship the UPS to another location. These guidelines apply whether you are
transporting the UPS alone, rack mounted in an equipment cabinet, or installed in a system.
Caution:
Always DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES before shipping the UPS to avoid damage during transport.
(U.S. Federal Regulation requires that batteries be disconnected during shipment.) The batteries may
remain in the UPS; they do not have to be removed.
This requirement applies whether the UPS is shipped alone or installed in an equipment rack or system.
Note:
Graphics are not drawn to scale. They are shown for reference only.
The battery compartment is accessed from the front panel of the UPS. The SU5000 unit, shown as an example, has four
battery packs (each with four individual batteries).
1. Remove the front bezel by grasping the finger clips on the side
of the bezel and carefully loosening the four (4) snaps.
2. Use a screwdriver or coin to remove the two battery door screws
and open the door.
3. Disconnect the front battery pack. Grasp the white cord on the
first front set of batteries and pull firmly to disconnect the
connector from the battery compartment.
4. Tuck the white cord (that serves as a handle for the connector)
neatly to the side.
5. Disconnect the remaining battery packs by repeating steps 3 and
4.
6. Once all the batteries have been disconnected, close the battery
door and replace the two (2) screws removed in step 2.
7. Align the front bezel with the opening on the front of the UPS
and snap it into place.
Note:
Remember to connect the batteries once the UPS has arrived at its destination.
