Pre-Failure Battery Warranty
The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty, standard on all Compaq Uninterruptible
Power System (UPS) units, extends the advantage of a Compaq three-year
limited warranty by applying it to the battery before it actually fails.
Specifically, the Pre-Failure Battery Warranty ensures that when customers
receive notification from Compaq Power Management Software that the
battery may fail, the battery is replaced free of charge under the warranty.
Compaq maintains the highest standards in the industry, as evidenced by the
Compaq Pre-Failure Battery Warranty. The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty is
beneficial in at least two significant ways:
■ Reduced total cost of ownership
■ Reduced downtime
Obtaining New Batteries
Compaq supplies spare battery packs for 3000 Series UPS models. Obtain
spare batteries for the UPS when the Battery Service indicator (LED 10)
illuminates, meaning that new batteries may be required within 30 to 60 days.
The 3000 Series UPS spare battery kit is part number 295462-001.
IMPORTANT: Compaq recommends that an inventory of spare batteries not be
maintained onsite unless a procedure to keep these batteries charged while in storage is
implemented.
For information on the Battery Service LED function, see Chapter 3,
“Operation.”
Replacing Batteries
There are two options for replacing UPS batteries:
■ Powering off the UPS before removing the batteries
■ In certain circumstances, hot-swapping the batteries without powering
off the UPS
CAUTION: While hot-swapping batteries, there is no protection in the event of a
utility power failure.
