Hot-Swapping the Batteries

The hot-swappable battery feature allows you to replace the UPS
batteries easily without turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load.

1. Switch the UPS to Bypass mode by turning the Bypass switch

on the UPS rear panel to the BYPASS position.

2. Remove the battery front panel and switch the battery breaker

to the OFF position. Disconnect the battery cables.

DO NOT remove the top UPS front panel. The UPS automatically shuts down if the
top front panel is removed.
