beneath the UPS. The batteries have a maximum run time of three hours at full load.
1. Install the external battery cabinet in tower- or rack-configuration (see Figure 14 or 3.3 - Rack-
Mount UPS Conversion and Installation).
2. Connect the external battery cabinet cable to the rear of the external battery cabinet, then to the
rear of the UPS (see Figure 15).
