How to Install SMART1524ET

• Choose a suitable installation location: select a dry, well-ventilated area with enough clearance for airflow around the 3U unit and access to the hardwire terminals.
• Prepare your rack: mount the SMART1524ET in a standard 19-inch rack using the included rails or compatible mounting kit, ensuring a secure and level fit.
• Power input connections: connect the UPS input to the facility’s 120 VAC power supply via the hardwired input terminals, following all applicable electrical codes and using appropriate circuit protection.
• Connect protected equipment: attach critical devices (routers, switches, controllers, servers) to the UPS output or to a compatible distribution path recommended by the manual for hardwired setups.
• Configure and calibrate: power on the UPS and configure any required settings for voltage regulation, alarm thresholds, and battery test routines per the user guide. Enable automatic startup with the main power if needed.
• Perform a test run: simulate a brief outage to verify that connected equipment stays powered and that alarm beacons or software alerts operate as expected. Confirm shutdown behavior and safe shutdown procedures if the battery reaches critical levels.
• Schedule maintenance and battery replacement: establish a maintenance plan, monitor runtime estimates, and replace batteries at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals to preserve backup performance.
