Location Requirements
Install the Eaton 9170+ UPS as close as possible to the equipment or
the load distribution panel it will protect. If this distance is more than
7.6m (25 ft), transient noise can reappear in the electrical distribution
system.
If a separate external battery cabinet is installed, the battery cabinets
must be adjacent to the Eaton 9170+ UPS. If the batteries will be farther
from the cabinet than the standard cables allow, contact your service
representative or your local distributor for assistance.
UPS Setup
The Eaton 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. Refer to the
unpacking instruction sheet (LTS-1724) packed inside the UPS shipping
carton.
NOTE Verify that all Eaton 9170+ UPS power modules are the proper type for the UPS
cabinet: Split-phase power modules have brown labels; universal (single-phase) power
modules have black labels. Do not mix brown and black modules in the same UPS cabinet.
Three- and Six-Slot Cabinets
NOTE Do not attempt to lift the cabinet by the module shelves or other convenient edges
or covers.
To set up 3- or 6-slot cabinets:
1. Place the cabinet in its intended operating location.
2. If an optional caster cart is included for cabinet mobility, see
“Caster Cart Installation (Three- and Six-Slot Cabinets)” on page 12
to mount the cabinet on the cart and stabilize it using the cart foot
pads.
3. Cut the lifting straps or slip them off the cabinet base tabs.
4. If an optional floor anchor kit is included for extra stability, see
”Floor Anchor Kit Installation” on page 16 to install the floor anchor
brackets.
