How to install Eaton Internal Replacement Battery Cartridge (RBC) for 9PX6KSP 9PX UPS System
- Step 1: Power down the device and follow your organization’s safety procedures for battery replacement. If the 9PX UPS supports safe hot-swapping, refer to the official service manual for your model to determine whether you may perform a live replacement.
- Step 2: Locate the RBC bay on the rear or side of the UPS and open the access panel or battery compartment per the installation guide. Confirm you are using the correct RBC part number for your specific 9PX model.
- Step 3: If a retention latch or release mechanism is present, disengage it to release the outdated RBC. Carefully disconnect any plug-in connectors or clips attached to the old cartridge, keeping fingers clear of adjacent components.
- Step 4: Remove the old RBC from the bay and inspect the bay for any signs of corrosion or debris. If present, clean the area with appropriate guidance from the manufacturer or your maintenance protocol.
- Step 5: Align the new RBC with the guides in the bay and slide it into place until you hear or feel it seat firmly. Reconnect all electrical connectors fully and ensure they are locked or clipped as required by the design.
- Step 6: Close the battery compartment, secure any latches, and restore power to the UPS. If your management software or onboard indicators provide a battery health readout, perform an initial health check to confirm successful replacement.
- Step 7: Run a full battery test or runtime calibration as recommended by Eaton for the 9PX model. Monitor the UPS status during the next several cycles to verify stable performance and proper charging behavior of the new RBC.
