The following procedure explains how to replace a worn or weak battery in the
UPS. Observe the following safety precautions before replacing the battery.
Battery Safety
Observe the following safety precautions when replacing the batteries:
WARNING:
Personal injury. Do not lift heavy loads without assistance. The batteries
are heavy and require two people to lift and install them.
• The UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to
disassemble the unit. The only exception is when replacing the batteries—
battery replacement is permissible.
• Except for the battery, the unit contains no user serviceable parts. Repairs
are performed only by factory trained service personnel.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• Do not open or damage the batteries. They contain an electrolyte which is
toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.
• Replace the batteries with the same part number and type as the original.
Instructions
The UPS battery is easy to replace using a hot-swappable battery tray. Battery
replacement is a safe procedure and is isolated from electrical hazards.
Notes: Read the following before beginning this procedure:
• You may leave the UPS and the protected equipment on for this procedure.
• The battery tray is accessible from the front of the UPS.
• Be careful removing the battery tray—it is heavy.
• This procedure requires a Phillips head screwdriver.
• Small sparks at the battery connectors are normal during re-connection.
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the front cover.
a. Using both hands, insert an index finger behind the lip of the curved
