How to install Eaton 9PXM Battery Module

• Prepare the workspace: power down only as dictated by your organization’s maintenance policy while following safety protocols for battery handling and ESD precautions.
• Verify slot requirements: confirm that two battery modules are allocated per slot, as this model relies on pairwise installation for proper operation and redundancy.
• Inspect components: check the new modules for any physical damage, connectors, and serial information; ensure environmental conditions meet recommended ranges.
• Engage safety equipment: wear appropriate PPE and use anti-static wrist straps to protect both personnel and modules during installation.
• Remove the failed or existing module: release the latch or locking mechanism per Eaton’s guidance, carefully extracting the unit without bending connectors.
• Install the replacement module: align connectors, insert firmly, and engage the latch or securing mechanism until the module is seated and locked.
• Repeat for the second module in the same slot, ensuring both modules are securely attached before proceeding.
• Reconnect power and initialize: if required by your UPS management policy, power the system back on and verify that the UPS recognizes the new modules through the management interface.
• Run a field check: perform a battery health and runtime test to confirm proper operation and desired runtime margins after installation.
• Document and monitor: record the replacement in your maintenance logs and monitor the UPS status over the next several cycles to confirm stable operation.
