Electrical Safety
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
• High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
• A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment.
• Check that the power cord(s), plug(s), and sockets are in good condition.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock when grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the AC power outlet before installing or
connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the power cord only after all connections are made.
• Do not handle any kind of metallic connector before the power has been removed.
• Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible shock from touching two surfaces
with different electrical grounds.
• Connect the equipment to a three wire AC outlet (two poles plus ground). The receptacle must be connected to appropriate branch
circuit/mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard.
CAUTION! Deenergizing Safety
• If the equipment has an internal energy source (the battery), the output may be energized when the unit is not connected to an AC power outlet.
• To deenergize pluggable equipment: first press the Off button for more than one second to switch the equipment off. Next disconnect the
equipment from the AC power outlet. Finally, disconnect the battery.
• To deenergize permanently wired equipment: set the power switch to standby . Next set the AC circuit breaker to standby . Then
disconnect the batteries (including any expansion units). Finally, disconnect the AC power from the building power supply.
• Pluggable equipment includes a protective earth conductor which carries the leakage current from the load devices (computer equipment). Total
leakage current must not exceed 3.5 mA.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life
support equipment or to significantly effect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
WARNING! Battery Safety
• This equipment contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The only exception is for equipment
containing batteries. Battery replacement using the procedures below is permissible. Except for the battery, the unit contains no user
serviceable parts. Repairs are performed only by factory trained service personnel.
Batteries must be recycled. Deliver the battery to an appropriate recycling facility or ship it to the supplier in the
new battery’s packing material. See the new battery instructions for more information.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• Do not open or mutilate batteries. They contain an electrolyte which is toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.
• To avoid personal injury due to energy hazard, remove wrist watches and jewelry such as rings when replacing the batteries. Use tools with
insulated handles.
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.

Introduction
This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags and surges from reaching
your computer and other valuable electronic equipment. This UPS also filters out small utility line fluctuations and isolates
your equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from the utility line, while supplying power from its
internal batteries until the utility line returns to safe levels.
While running on battery, an internal alarm will sound (periodic beeps). The on/test button may be pressed to silence the
UPS alarm .
If the utility power does not return, the UPS will continue supplying power to the connected equipment until exhausted. A
continuous beeping will sound two minutes before the UPS’s final low battery shutdown. If using a computer, you must
manually save your files and power down before the UPS turns itself off, unless you are using PowerChute interface
software that provides automatic, unattended shutdown.
Unpacking
Inspection
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is dam age. The packaging is recyclable; save it for
reuse or dispose of it properly.
Contents
The shipping package contains the UPS, its batteries, and, for some rack mount units, rails to hold the UPS in a rack. The
5000 VA unit ships with the batteries separate from the UPS case.
How to Unpack the SU 5000 UPS
Move the UPS, in its shipping package, as close to the desired location as possible. Then follow these instructions:
Use scissors or a knife to cut
the plastic straps and open the
package.
Unpack the box containing the
mounting rails.
Lift off the cardboard box that
covers the top and sides of the
package. The bottom of the box
is formed by a wooden pallet.
Lift the UPS up and out of the
box.
Caution:
The 5000 VA models (without batteries installed) require two people to lift due to their weight.
Read this User’s Manual for safety
information and installation
instructions.
Remove the foam spacers.
Pull the plastic bag down to expose the
UPS.
Remove the batteries from the pallet.
Installation
1
990-7031D, Revision 5 5/01
Installing your UPS requires five steps:
1. Position the UPS in the desired location. For rack mount units this may include installing the rails into the rack.
2. Connect the batteries. All UPSs ship with the batteries disconnected. In 5000 VA units you must also install the
batteries in the UPS.
3. Connect equipment to the UPS.
4. Power up the UPS.
5. Install PowerChute® UPS monitoring software and accessories.
1. Position the UPS
Placement
Install the UPS in a protected area that is free of excessive
dust and has adequate air flow. Do not operate the UPS
where the temperature and humidity are outside the
specified limits.
Warning!
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
warranty.
Installing Rack Mount Units
The rack mount UPS comes with standard 19” (46.5 cm) rack mount brackets (ears) installed. The 3000 and 5000 VA models
of the UPS are supplied with rails to support them in the rack. These supports may be used to ease installation for 19” or
23” racks. The supports are available as an accessory for the 1400 VA model. Contact your dealer or APC at the number
listed under APC Contact Information, page 21, for more information. See Appendix B: Types of Racks and Mounting
Hardware, page 26, for more information and installation instructions.
Caution:
Two or more people are required to install the 3000 and 5000 VA models due to their weight. The 5000 VA models must
be put into position before the batteries are installed.
Installing the UPS in a rack involves a four -step process:
1. Determine the location of the UPS in the rack.
2. Install the mounting rails in the rack.
3. Load the UPS into the rack.
4. Attach the mounting brackets to the rack.
This section describes each step in detail.
Determine the Location of the UPS in the Rack
UPSs are heavy. Select a rack location sturdy enough to handle the weight. Mount the UPS at or near the bottom of the
rack.
Select a rack location with adequate air flow that is free from excessive dust. Ensure that any air vents on the sides of the
UPS are not blocked. Do not operate the UPS where tem perature or humidity are outside the limits listed under
Specifications, page 19.
Two additional sets of bracket holes, shown below at asterisks (*), are located on the sides of all rack mount UPS models
except the 5000 VA. These holes allow mounting the brackets with a three inch or six inch setback. Move the mounting
brackets back if desired to optimize the esthetic or physical requirements of the rack. The 5000 VA unit cannot be m ounted
in a setback position since it requires the full depth of the rack.

Caution:
Check the rack to make sure it won’t tip after moving the mounting brackets.
1. Determine where in the rack you’ll mount the UPS. The SU5000
requires a space of 5U. Some racks have tick marks to indicate
the U-spaces.
2. Using the mounting template provided (part number 990-0195),
identify and mark the correct mounting holes for the UPS
mounting brackets.
3. Locate and mark the bottom hole in the designated U-space Œ.
The bottom screw on the mounting rail will attach to the bottom
hole in the U-space.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining three rack posts.
5. Prepare the rack holes, if necessary. Racks with threaded holes
require no preparation.
If your rack has round holes, insert clip nuts (provided) into
the holes marked in step 2.
If your rack has square holes, insert either clip or cage
nuts into the holes marked in step 2.

•
Remove the two screws Πthat hold the rails together so
that the rails can slide outward •. Do not detach the rails.
Align the bottom hole on the mounting rail with the bottom
hole in the U-space (marked in step 3 above). Use the flat,
Phillips head screws (10-32) and conical washers to attach
the front rail to the rack. Position the rails so that the lip of
the rail is on the bottom.
