Hot-Swap Power Module Replacement*
WARNING! For qualified service personnel only. Failure to follow the bypass procedure completely will not adequately
power down the UPS, resulting in the continued risk of death or injury from pontential contact with high voltage. The
UPS and detachable PDU are extremely heavy. This procedure requires several people to perform.
The UPS system includes an independent, detachable PDU with a Bypass Switch. This switch allows qualified service personnel to
remove the detachable PDU from the UPS for routine maintenance without disrupting power to connected loads. While this switch
is set to “BYPASS”, connected equipment will receive unfiltered AC mains power. But the equipment will not receive battery power
in the event of a blackout.
* See manual included with SU12KRT4UHW Parallel PDU for Bypass.
WARNING! High voltage! Risk of electrical shock!
