UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting the UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rack-mount
UPS systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing the UPS.
• Your UPS is intended to be used in a temperature-regulated, indoor area that is
relatively free of conductive contaminants, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or
direct sunlight.
• For best performance, the ambient temperature near the UPS should be between 0°C
and 40°C (32°F and 104°F).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct
its vents or fan openings.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in
this manner will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product
damage not covered under warranty.
UPS Connection Warnings
• The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live
even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS
system's plug in a way that would eliminate the UPS system's connection to ground.
Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS system's connection to ground.
• Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.
• If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output.
