1: SAFETY INFORMATION
American Power Conversion Corporation (APC) is the leading national and international manufacturer of state-of-the-art uninterruptible power supplies, redundant switches, power management software, and related equipment. APC products protect hardware, software, and data from the threat of
power disturbances in business and government offices throughout the world.
The APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags,
and surges from reaching your computer and other valuable electronic equipment. The UPS filters
out small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally
disconnecting from the utility line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery until
the utility line returns to safe levels.
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the warranty.
HANDLING SAFETY
The UPS requires two people for installation due to its weight. To lighten the UPS, you may remove
the battery while you position or mount it in the rack. Refer to the Operation Manual for instructions
on how to remove the battery.
<18 kg (<40 lb)
18–32 kg (40–70 lb)
n Equipment with casters is built to move on a smooth surface without any obstacles.
n Do not use a ramp incline of more than 10°.
n This equipment is intended for installation in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of conduc-

tive contaminants. Refer to Specifications at the APC web site for the actual temperature range.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
n Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
n High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
n A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment.
n Check that the power cord(s), plug(s), and sockets are in good condition.
n To reduce the risk of electric shock when grounding, 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.
n Do not handle any kind of metallic connector before the power has been removed.

n Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible shock
from touching two surfaces with different electrical grounds.
n 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.
n In order to maintain compliance with the EMC directive, output cords attached to the UPS should
not exceed 10 meters in length.
DEENERGIZING SAFETY
n If the equipment has an internal energy source (battery), the output may be energized when the
unit is not connected to an AC power outlet.
n 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, and disconnect the battery. Finally, push the ON button to deenergize the capacitors.
n To deenergize permanently wired equipment: set the power switch to standby .
n Set the AC circuit breaker to standby , then disconnect the battery (including any expansion
units). Finally, disconnect the AC power from the building power supply.
n Pluggable equipment includes a protective earth conductor that 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 affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
BATTERY SAFETY
n 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 to be performed only by factory trained service personnel.
n Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
n Do not open or mutilate batteries. They contain an electrolyte that is toxic and harmful to the skin
and eyes.
n To avoid personal injury due to energy hazard, remove wristwatches and jewelry such as rings
when replacing the batteries. Use tools with insulated handles.
n Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equip-
ment.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND RECYCLING
See your dealer or the Operation Manual for information on replacement battery kits and battery
recycling.
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.

Smart-UPS
2: INSTALLATION
The UPS has a “rack and stack” design that provides two mounting options. The UPS can be
mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack or stacked on a battery pack(s) model SU24RMXLBP2U.
Hardware is provided for either option.
UNPACKING
1. Inspect the UPS upon receipt. APC designed robust packaging for your product. However, accidents and damage may occur during shipment. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage.
The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it properly.
2. Check the package contents. The shipping package contains the UPS, its front bezel, a mounting
kit with brackets, cleats, feet, and hardware, a rail kit containing mounting rails, installation instructions, and a hardware packet (necessary for rack mounting the UPS), a literature kit containing a Utility CD, three output cables, one serial cable, one RJ-45 network cable, and product
documentation.
The UPS is shipped with the battery and the front bezel disconnected. (The bezel is
packaged separately within the main box.) You must connect the battery and install
the plastic bezel during the installation procedure.
POSITIONING THE UPS
Place the rack and the UPS where they will be used for either stacking or rack mounting. (Both procedures are detailed on the next page). The UPS is heavy. Select a location sturdy enough to han-
dle the weight.
Consider that you install the UPS in a protected area that is free of excessive dust and has adequate
airflow. Ensure the air vents on the front and rear of the UPS are not blocked.
Do not operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity are outside the specified limits. Refer to
Specifications at the APC web site www.apcc.com/support/contact
