How to install APC Smart-UPS X 2000VA Rack/Tower LCD 100-127V

• Choose and prepare the installation location: Decide whether to mount the UPS in a 19-inch rack or place it as a stable tower. Ensure adequate ventilation and clearance for heat dissipation and service access.
• Unpack and inspect the UPS: Remove packaging, verify that all required mounting hardware and cables are present, and inspect for any transit damage before installation.
• Mount or position the unit: If installing in a rack, attach rails and secure the unit according to manufacturer guidelines. If using as a tower, place the UPS on a flat, stable surface with a clear airflow path.
• Connect loads and power source: Plug critical equipment into battery-backed outlets on the UPS. Connect the UPS to a grounded wall outlet or appropriate power distribution system using the supplied input cord, ensuring load does not exceed the rated capacity.
• Configure management interfaces and run a self-test: Connect a computer via USB or Serial to enable monitoring and graceful shutdown settings. Power on the UPS, follow the LCD prompts to perform the initial self-test, and configure AVR, alarm thresholds, and notification preferences as needed.
