how to install [product]

• Confirm compatibility: Ensure your UPS chassis is a Smart-UPS On-Line SRT unit and that you are adding a compatible 192V RM battery pack designed for 5kVA/6kVA configurations.
• Power down and prepare the rack: If possible, follow standard lockout/tagout procedures. Position the RM battery pack in proximity to the UPS cabinet within the 19-inch rack and verify clearance for cable routing and ventilation.
• Connect the battery pack: Use the designated interconnect cables and connectors to link the RM battery pack to the SRT UPS system. Align connectors correctly and secure them to prevent accidental disconnection during operation.
• Secure mounting: Slide the battery pack into the rack rails, ensuring it is firmly seated. Fasten mounting hardware to guarantee stability and reduce vibration in operational environments.
• Power-up and validate: Restore power to the UPS and monitor the management interface for battery status indicators. Check that the extended runtime configuration is recognized, and run a brief self-test to verify proper operation and health reporting.
• Monitor and configure: Use APC management tools to set runtime targets, view cell/module/cabinet health data, and enable predictive alerts. Keep firmware and software up to date to maximize compatibility and reliability.
