After you start the UPS, no operator intervention is necessary except for periodic checks of
the UPS status. Manual operation is required only during routine maintenance or service.
Use the Monitor Panel and the Control Panel to monitor and control the UPS. Figure 3-4
shows the location of these two panels on the front of the UPS.
