Installation
Installing your UPS requires five steps:
1. Position the UPS in the desired location. For rack mount units this may include installing the rails into the rack.
2. Connect the batteries. All UPSs ship with the batteries disconnected. In 5000 VA units you must also install the
batteries in the UPS.
3. Connect equipment to the UPS.
4. Power up the UPS.
5. Install PowerChute® UPS monitoring software and accessories.
1.
Position the UPS
Placement
Install the UPS in a protected area that is free of excessive
dust and has adequate air flow. Do not operate the UPS
where the temperature and humidity are outside the
specified limits.
Warning!
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the warranty.
Installing Rack Mount Units
The rack mount UPS comes with standard 19” (46.5 cm) rack mount brackets (ears) installed. The 3000 and 5000 VA
models of the UPS are supplied with rails to support them in the rack. These supports may be used to ease installation for
19” or 23” racks. The supports are available as an accessory for the 1400 VA model. Contact your dealer or APC at the
number listed under APC Contact Information, page 19, for more information. See Appendix B: Types of Racks and
Mounting Hardware, page 23, for more information and installation instructions.
Caution:
Two or more people are required to install the 3000 and 5000 VA models due to their weight. The 5000 VA models
must be put into position before the batteries are installed.
Installing the UPS in a rack involves a four-step process:
1. Determine the location of the UPS in the rack.
2. Install the mounting rails in the rack.
3. Load the UPS into the rack.
4. Attach the mounting brackets to the rack.
This section describes each step in detail.
