3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Unpacking Inspection
Upon receipt, unpack the Liebert APS and conduct the following checks:
• Inspect the unit for shipping damage. If any shipping damage is founded, report it to the
carrier.
• Check against the delivery list to verify that the types of the accessories are complete and
correct. If there is any discrepancy, contact the carrier and your Vertiv™ representative
immediately.
3.2 Installation Environment
NOTE: Operating the UPS in temperatures above 77°F (25°) will reduce battery life.
The environment must be free of conductive contaminants and excessive moisture (water and
condensation), flammable vapors, chemical fumes, corrosive gases and liquids.
3.3 Installation Tools
The following tools are required to properly set up your UPS:
• Pallet jack
• 17-mm (11/16-in.) wrench or socket
• 13-mm (1/2-in.) wrench or socket
• 10-mm wrench or socket
• #1 and #3 Phillips-head screwdrivers
• Torque wrench
3.3.1 Installation Site Considerations and Clearances
Consider the weight and size of the Liebert APS when deciding where to install the unit. Verify that the
floor can support the weight of a fully-loaded unit, with any accessories and external cabinets.
The UPS is air-cooled by internal fans. Air is drawn into the front of the UPS and exhausted through
ventilation grilles in the back. Verify that the UPS will be in a well-ventilated area with at least 6-in.
(153-mm) clearance behind for ventilation and at least 39-in. (1-m) clearance in front for service and to
meet local and national building codes.
3.4 Removing the UPS from the Pallet
The unit frame is bolted to the shipping pallet for safety during shipping. We recommend keeping the
unit bolted to the pallet and using a pallet jack to transport the unit to the installation location.
NOTE: The UPS is very heavy. At least two people should unload it from the pallet.
To unload the UPS:
1. Move the UPS to its installation location and remove the package paper.
2. Use a 17-mm (11/16-in.) wrench, to remove the 4 mounting bolts from the pallet brackets, see
Figure 3.1 on the next page.
3. Remove the mounting brackets from the UPS with a 10mm wrench or socket or a #3 Phillips
screwdriver.
