UPS Location Requirements

I
Confirm the power at the outlet for the UPS does not routinely get shut
off. The UPS interprets any AC line failure as a blackout and will
operate accordingly. Even with the connected load equipment turned
off, if the UPS inverter is enabled, the battery charge will slowly
deplete.
I
For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32°F and
104°F (between 0°C and 40°C).
I
Compaq Pro UPS 500 models are intended for installation in a
temperature-controlled, indoor area free of conductive contamination.
The unit must be kept dry at all times. Avoid exposing the UPS to high
heat or humidity.
I
Do not block the cooling vents on the unit. These vents must be open for
the UPS to operate properly.
I
Position the UPS at least 6 inches away from any monitors or floppy
disks. Small magnetic fields present during backup operation can cause
monitor interference and can disrupt information on disks.
