How to install Liebert PSI 2200VA Line-Interactive Rack/Tower UPS
Follow these steps to install and configure your Liebert PSI 2200VA for optimal protection and easy management:
- Step 1: Choose the right orientation and mounting. If using in a rack, install in a standard 19-inch rack enclosure with proper clearance for ventilation. If used as a tower, position on a stable surface away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
- Step 2: Mount or place the unit. Use included rails or brackets to secure the unit in a rack, or simply place it on a shelf or cabinet for tower mode. Ensure adequate airflow around the UPS.
- Step 3: Connect the load. Plug your critical devices—servers, switches, routers, and storage arrays—into the UPS outlets. Do not exceed the unit’s rated output to prevent nuisance tripping.
- Step 4: Connect to power. Plug the UPS into a properly grounded wall outlet using the appropriate regional plug. Avoid extension cords for the primary connection to ensure proper protection and reliable operation.
- Step 5: Establish management and testing. Attach USB or serial cables to a computer for monitoring and safe shutdown, install the recommended management software if available, and run a self-test to verify that the battery and circuitry are functioning as expected.
- Step 6: Configure notifications and shutdown policies. Set up alert preferences and automatic shutdown timing for connected equipment to protect data integrity during outages or extended outages.
- Step 7: Perform regular maintenance. Periodically inspect battery condition, clean dust from vents, and run battery self-tests to confirm ongoing reliability.
