Installation Site
Installation considerations
The installation site should adhere to the following requirements:
• There should be ample room for performing rack assembly, battery installation, maintenance,
and possible battery replacement.
• Aisle spacing should be in accordance with applicable code requirements.
• Racks should be set on a firm and reasonably level surface. Shimming up to a maximum of
6 mm [0.25 in.] may be used to level corner posts both front-to-back and side-to-side.
• Consider all requirements and restrictions with respect to floor loading.
• Batteries must remain in a climate-controlled environment having a temperature range of 22° to
25° C [72° to 77° F] and a relative humidity of 0% to 95%, non-condensing.
• Batteries should not be exposed to excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive elements,
and other contaminants.
