The units are heavy. Lifting the units into the rack requires a minimum of two people. · When installing units in racks, do not allow racks to become “top heavy”. Install heaviest equip- · ment (typically the external battery cabinet) near bottom of rack, and install this equipment before installing equipment higher in the rack.
1.5.4 Battery Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: The batteries installed in the UPS and within the extended battery cabinets contain electro- lyte. Under normal conditions the containers are dry. A damaged battery may leak electrolyte that can be dangerous when in contact with the skin and cause irritation to the eyes.

3. Installation The UPS and external battery cabinet are designed to be rack-mounted in four post frames or to be floor standing in a tower configuration. 3.1 Tower Installation ATTENTION: Use all supplied mounting hardware on each UPS and extended battery cabinet. A.
3.2 Rack Installation The UPS and the external battery cabinets are designed to be rack-mounted in four post frames. The UPS and ex- ternal battery cabinet use identical mounting hardware and procedures. NOTE: The rack-mount UPS draws air from the front. If the rack has a door on the front, make sure that there is some clearance between the UPS vents and the rack door.
