C ONNECTING THE B ATTERY AND A TTACHING THE F RONT B EZEL
1. Facing the front of the UPS, locate the battery
cables Œ and the UPS battery connector jack 
to the right of the battery module.
2. To connect the battery connector plug Ž to the
battery jack, push the plug into the jack so the
metal pieces inside each part are touching. Press
firmly to ensure a tight connection. You will hear
a “snap” when the connector is seated properly.
3. Push the battery cables and white cord as close to
the UPS as possible.
4. The UPS is shipped with the front bezel removed
(it is packaged separately within the main box).
Unpack the bezel and hold it with the cutout sec-
tion on the right. Align the tabs on the side of the
bezel with the slots on the front of the UPS and
gently snap it into place.
To connect an optional external battery pack(s) to the UPS, refer to the 3U Rack Mount
External Battery Pack User’s Manual for instructions.
C ONNECTING P OWER AND E QUIPMENT TO THE UPS
1. On the back panel, plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounding receptacle only. Avoid
using extension cords and adapter plugs.
2. Connect equipment to the UPS.
Use the cable provided with your UPS to connect to the Computer Interface Port.
DO NOT use a standard serial interface cable since it is incompatible with the UPS
connector.
3. 120V Models only: Connect ground leads to the
TVSS screw Πon the back panel. The transient
voltage surge suppression (TVSS) screw provides
grounding through the UPS power cord ground
conductor.
To make the connection, loosen the screw and
connect the surge suppression device’s ground
lead. Tighten the screw to secure the lead.
