How to install APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS C 1000VA 2U Rack Mountable LCD 230V

• Prepare and plan installation – Identify a stable, ventilated rack location with adequate clearance for airflow and service access. Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 2U device and has the appropriate mounting rails if needed.
• Mount the UPS – Secure the Smart-UPS C to the rack using the included mounting kit. Ensure the unit is level and properly anchored to prevent movement during maintenance or vibrations.
• Connect the load – Attach your critical devices (servers, switches, storage, and networking gear) to the UPS output outlets. Arrange cables neatly to avoid strain and ensure easy access for future changes.
• Connect the input power and battery – Plug the UPS into a properly grounded 230V input circuit. If you’re replacing an existing UPS, align new connections with the same circuit to minimize power interruptions during swap.
• Power up and configure – Turn on the UPS and follow the LCD prompts to verify readings, configure AVR settings, alarm thresholds, and automatic shutdown parameters. Run a self-test to confirm proper operation and confirm that connected devices are receiving clean, stable power.
• Test and verify – Perform a controlled power-down test if appropriate, verifying that connected systems gracefully shut down and restart reliably when power is restored. Confirm the UPS reports the expected runtime and battery health.
