Always DISCONNECT THE BATTERY before shipping the UPS to avoid damage
during transport. (U.S. Federal Regulation requires that batteries are disconnected
during shipment.) The battery may remain in the UPS; it does not have to be re-
moved.
This requirement applies whether the UPS is shipped alone or installed in an
equipment rack or system.

1. Shut down any equipment attached to the UPS.
2. Disconnect the UPS from the power supply.
3. If you are using the original UPS packaging, you
must transport the front bezel separate from the

Pull it toward you. The bezel will unsnap from
the UPS.

Due to its weight, removing the UPS from a rack requires two people.
1. Remove the four rack screws (two screws on each
mounting bracket) that secure the UPS to the
rack.
2. Grasp the battery module handle and pull it to-
ward you to pull the UPS out far enough to sup-
port the front of the UPS from the underside.
3. Use the handles on the sides of the UPS for addi-
tional support. Continue to pull the UPS out of
the rack while a second person supports the rear
underside.
