Microsoft® Windows® operating
system or network-connected
Vertiv or third-party shut-down
software. Use of this feature is
not required for proper

Plug the UPS input cord into
the wall outlet. Plug-in all
equipment to protect in the
appropriate receptacles. To
turn on the UPS, press and hold
the ON/OFF button until you
hear the UPS beep, then

While every precaution has been
taken to ensure that the battery is
in good condition, we recommend
allowing the UPS to charge the
battery for at least 12 hours prior to
providing full back-up time
protection for any utility-power
abnormality.
