To replace a battery pack:
NOTE: The internal battery pack is hot-swappable. However, you must exercise caution because; during this
procedure, the load is unprotected from disturbances and power outages. Do not replace the battery while the
UPS is operating in Battery Mode. This will result in a loss of output power and will drop the connected load.
1. Press the button on the left-front of the UPS front panel, and pull the panel open, then, loosen and remove
the screw from the battery door, see Figure 5-1 on the next page.
2. Lay the battery door and screw aside for reassembly.
3. Grasp the battery handle, and pull out the battery pack, see Figure 5-1 on the next page.
4. Unpack the replacement battery pack, taking care not to damage the packaging to re-use when disposing
of the old battery.
5. Compare the new and old battery pack to make sure they are the same type and model. If so, proceed with
step 6. If they are dierent, stop and contact your Vertiv representative, or Technical Support, http://www.
