1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Unpacking and Installation
1.1.1 Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
A high-quality installation begins on the receiving dock.
1. Inspect for damage or signs of mishandling before unpacking the unit(s). Check the Shock-Watch
™
indicator.
2. If the Liebert PPC was shipped in an export crate, open the shipping crate carefully. (Use care to avoid puncturing the
container with sharp objects that would damage the contents.)
3. Remove the packing and vapor barrier and inspect the equipment for any obvious shipping damages.
If any shipping damage is observed, immediately file a damage claim with the shipping agency and forward a
copy to:
Liebert Corporation
1050 Dearborn Drive
P.O. Box 29186
Columbus, Ohio 43229 USA
1.1.2 Handling Considerations
The Liebert PPC is bolted to a wooden pallet to allow handling by fork lift equipment.
Moving—The Liebert PPC sits on casters that allow the unit to be rolled into place after it has been unbolted
from the pallet.
Check size and weight—Refer to the cabinet drawings furnished with the unit for size and weight information.
Typical cabinet dimensions and weights are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Plan the route—The route that the unit will follow to its installation area should be planned to ensure that all
passages are large enough to accommodate the unit, and that the floors are adequate to support the weight.
(For example: Are the doorway, elevators, ramps, etc., adequate? Are there any non-negotiable corners or offsets
in the hallways?)
Move with care—To prevent panel damage, Vertiv recommends removing the exterior panels before moving the
unit. Reconnect all panel ground wires when replacing panels.
NOTE
Read the entire manual before installing and operating the system. Upon receipt of a Liebert PPC, the installer
should perform the following steps to ensure a high-quality installation.
NOTE
The units should not be loosened from the shipping pallet until after all handling by fork lift or pallet jack is
completed. Complete internal inspection should be accomplished only after equipment positioning and prior to
electrical hookup.
