Live maintenance precautions
APC does NOT recommend performing live maintenance to the MBP with Power Distribution.
However, APC is aware that due to the critical nature of data center loads, live maintenance may occur.
If providing live maintenance, observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Caution:
1.Never work alone.
2.Only a certified electrician who is trained in the hazards of live electrical installation should
perform the maintenance.
3.Know the procedure for disconnecting electricity to the MBP in the event of an emergency.
4.Wear appropriate protective clothing and other body equipment. Be sure to use rubberinsulated gloves and rubber-insulated boots.
5.Use double-insulated tools. If double-insulated tools are not available, insulate all tools
with electrical tape.
6.Use electrical tape to insulate any non-insulated conductive parts.
7.Always follow local codes and site regulations when working on the MBP.
