It is recommended that the equipment be stored in a temperature controlled, moderate humidity environment. Table 1 below provides the temperature and humidity storage limits: Table 1.
Installation Rack-Mounting the The UPSs and external battery are designed to be rack-mounted in four-post frames. The UPS and external UPS or External battery cabinets use identical mounting hardware and the procedure for mounting either is the same. Battery Cabinets NOTE: The Rack-mount UPS draws cooling air from the front.
Installation Tower (Floor) The UPS and external battery are designed to be floor standing as an alternative to rack mounting. Mounting and ATTENTION: Use all supplied mounting hardware on each UPS and external battery. External Battery Please use only the supplied fasteners to attach the supplied mounting brackets to the UPS or external Cabinets battery.
Installation Cord Retention Bracket (for models with IEC receptacles) UPS models that utilize IEC inlets and receptacles have an included accessory that may be installed to help secure the input and output cords in place. To install the cord retention bracket: 1.

Maintenance The manufacturer’s service center is fully equipped to deal with such batteries, in accordance with the law and with the greatest respect for the environment. Contact Technical Support to arrange for maintenance and/or battery replacement. The typical battery life cycle is 3 to 5 years, at an ambient temperature of 77°F (25°C), however battery life is also dependent on the frequency and duration of mains failures or battery discharge cycles.
Interfaces Battery Disposal The typical battery life cycle is 3 to 5 years, at an ambient temperature of 25 °C, but is also dependent on the frequency and duration of mains failures. Once the battery has reached the end of its useful life, follow the procedure for battery replacement, see “Replacing Batteries”...
Interfaces equipment. The interface ports will send On Battery and Low Battery signals to the host computer. The interface ports will also accept a shutdown inverter signal to conserve battery life.
