IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Use caution when lifting Battery Pack. Because of the Battery Pack’s considerable weight, at
least two people should assist in lifting and installing it. If rackmounting the Battery Pack, mount
it in the lowest rack space possible.
• Suggested mounting procedures are for common rack types and may not be appropriate for all
rack configurations. User must determine the fitness of mounting hardware and procedures
before mounting.
• Battery packs with similar connectors may have different input/output voltages. Check the DC
voltage of all battery packs before connection.
• When connecting multiple Battery Packs to a single UPS, the Battery Packs should be
approximately the same age.
• It is normal for sparks to occur inside external battery connectors during final battery
connection.
• Do not unplug external batteries from the UPS while the UPS is operating on battery power, due
to the possibility of dangerous arcing.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Battery Pack. Do not open the Battery Pack for
any reason.
• Do not attempt to replace the internal batteries. Batteries should only be replaced by factory
authorized personnel.
