Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
Failure to shutdown the Liebert ITA2 and to isolate the system electrically means that the system will
contain deadly high voltage within the unit and at its output terminals.
The Liebert ITA2 must be shut down and all local and remote electric input power must be disconnected
before any work may be done on or in the UPS and MBC. This includes the addition, removal or alteration
of a power distribution box.
NOTICE
Risk of improper shutdown. Can cause damage to connected equipment.
Shutting down the UPS system will result in loss of input power to the connected load. Before beginning, shut down the
connected equipment or transfer them to an alternate input power supply. Refer to 4.2 - Shutdown for details about
shutting down the Liebert ITA2 UPS.
To install the POD:
1.Remove the screws attaching the POD port cover panel and retain them for reassembly; see Figure 19.
2.Remove the POD port cover and set aside.
3.Align the POD connectors with those inside the POD port, making sure the colors match; see Figure 20..

1.If the two plastic bezel are attached to the Liebert ITA2 MBC, remove them by pulling both ends toward you with equal
force.
2.Verify that the Maintenance Bypass Breaker on the front of the Liebert ITA2 MBC is Off (open) and that the breaker
interlock is secured in place.
3.Close the feeder breakers in the external panel to provide main input and bypass input (for dual input system).
4.On the front of the Liebert ITA2 MBC, close the rectifier input breaker, bypass isolation breaker and maintenance isolation
breaker.
5.If any optional POD’s are installed, verify that any distribution breakers on the POD’s are closed.
6.Start the UPS according to procedures in the UPS user manual, SL-00030.
The connected equipment should now be supplied protected power from the UPS.
7.Reinstall the two plastic bezels on the front of the Liebert ITA2 MBC.
4.2Shutdown
NOTICE
Risk of improper shutdown. Can cause damage to the connected equipment.
Shutting down the Liebert ITA2 will disconnect input power to the connected equipment. Before shutting down the UPS,
prepare the connected equipment, either by transferring it to an alternate input power source or shutting it down.
If shutting down the Liebert ITA2 UPS is an emergency, either operate the REPO button, if installed, or remove
the four-pin connector on the rear of the UPS for communication terminal block Pins 9-12.
To shut down the Liebert ITA2 UPS to take it out of service, follow the procedures in the UPS user manual. Once
the UPS has been shutdown, remove the plastic bezel from the front of the MBC to reveal the circuit breakers.
Open all circuit breakers to electrically isolate the UPS unit from input power.

the interlock in place.
NOTE
When the interlock is moved to unlock the maintenance bypass breaker, the UPS will transfer to internal bypass
if it was not already done in Step 2. The connected equipment is now unprotected from power abnormalities.
5.Close the Maintenance Bypass Breaker
6.Open the Rectifier Input Breaker, Bypass Isolation Breaker and Maintenance Isolation Breaker to electrically isolate the
UPS module from AC power
7.Open all battery breakers on the rear of each battery cabinet to electrically isolate the UPS module from DC power.
The system is now in maintenance bypass mode to allow the UPS module to be safely serviced.

1.Ensure that the mechanical interlock is still secured in the unlocked position.
2.Close the Rectifier Input Breaker, Bypass Isolation Breaker and Maintenance Isolation Breaker on the front of the MBC.
3.The UPS will begin its startup procedure and operate in internal bypass mode. Verify that the UPS is operating in internal
bypass mode before proceeding.
NOTICE
Risk of improper operation. Can cause damage to the connected load.
Failure to have the UPS operating on internal bypass and performing the next step will result in loss of all output power to
the connected equipment.
4.Open the Maintenance Bypass Breaker
5.Loosen the thumb screw on the mechanical interlock and slide it down (rack orientation) or to the side (tower orientation)
and secure it in place by tightening the thumb screw
