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 6.1 below.
2. Lay the cover, battery door, and screw aside for reassembly.
3. Grasp the battery handle, and pull out the battery pack, see Figure 6.1 below.
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 different, stop and contact your Vertiv representative, or Technical Support,

6. Line-up and slowly push-in each replacement battery pack. until 2/3 of the length is in the bay, then lift up and
continue to push smoothly until the battery pack is fully inserted in the bay. The battery is fully inserted if the
battery door fits flush against the UPS.
7. Re-attach the battery door with the screw, and replace the front cover.
8. Activate the new battery packs using the operating/display panel:
NOTE: The display menus and functions are described in Operation and Display Panel on page55.

date or time need correction, see Setting the Date and Time on page76.
