Verify that the UPS is off and disconnected from mains power
Place the UPS on a flat stable surface with the front of the cabinet facing you
Remove the UPS front cover
Disconnect the internal battery connectors
Replace the UPS front cover
To avoid damage and
to prevent DOA’s always use a reputable courier for all equipment transportation.
