Tools and materials

The following tools are required for installation:

• Phillips screwdriver

• 10-mm hex-nut driver

The following items are supplied with the rack:

• Screws

• Hex nuts

• Cage nuts

• Cage nut-fitting tool

Selecting a site

WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, install the unit in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants.

When selecting a site, consider the following factors:

• Elevated operating ambient temperature—If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient temperature. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the operating temperature.

• Reduced air flow—In the rack, the rate of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment must not be compromised.

• Circuit overloading—Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

• Reliable earthing—Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such as the use of power strips.

• Electrical requirements—All models require a dedicated (unshared) branch circuit, suitably rated for the specific UPS as stated in "Input specifications" in the user guide.

Readying the equipment

1. Check the battery recharge date specified on the label that is affixed to the shipping carton.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the battery if the recharge date has passed. If the date on the battery recharge date label has passed without the battery being recharged, contact an HP authorized service representative for directions.

2. Transport the packaged unit to its installation location.

3. Unpack the equipment near the rack where the unit will be

assembled.

CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.

Installing the mounting rails

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:

• The leveling feet are extended to the floor.

• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.

• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a

single-rack installation.

• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.

• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.

NOTE: If preparing the rails for integrated shipping,

follow the same instructions as in "Installing the UPS ("Installing the UPS in a rack" on page 3)."

NOTE: Mounting hardware for square- and round-holed

racks is included in the UPS kit.

1. Loosen the wing nuts or hex nuts, and then extend the brackets to the desired length.

4. Insert screws through the mounting rail into the cage nuts or clip nuts.

5. Tighten the wing nuts or hex nuts.

2. Insert screws through the rack into the mounting rail and the

front of each mounting bracket.

3. Install cage nuts or clip nuts into the rear of the rack.

6. Install the rear stabilization bracket using wing nuts. Wait until

the unit is installed and the brackets are adjusted before tightening the nuts.

Installing the UPS in a rack

Before installing the unit, review and adhere to all warnings provided in "Precautions (on page 1)."

WARNING: Uneven mechanical loading in the rack may cause a hazardous condition
