How to install Eaton 72V Extended Battery Module (EBM)

• Safety first: power down the UPS and disconnect from mains before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock or arcing.
• Prepare the rack: identify an available 3U space in a standard 19-inch rack or compatible cabinet, ensuring proper clearance for ventilation and cable management.
• Mount the EBM: slide the Extended Battery Module into the rack rail, align mounting holes, and secure with appropriate screws or rails as specified for your enclosure. Ensure the unit is firmly seated and level.
• Make electrical connections: connect the EBM to the UPS using the manufacturer-provided battery interface cables or connectors, following the included installation guide for correct polarity and secure contact.
• Configure daisy-chain (optional): if deploying additional EBMs, connect them in series as permitted, up to four packs, and verify that the UPS recognizes each module in the chain through the management interface.
• Power on and verify: reconnect mains power, boot the UPS, and check the status indicators and management console to confirm that the EBM is detected and reporting healthy battery conditions.
• Calibrate and monitor: allow the system to calibrate under load, then monitor runtime estimates and battery health through Eaton’s management software or the UPS LCD panel to ensure ongoing protection.
