Installing this UPS begins with selecting an appropriate location that provides adequate ventilation and clearance for airflow, service access, and cable management. Whether you choose a 4U rack-mount configuration or a compact tower setup, ensure the mount surface is sturdy and vibration-free to maximize longevity. Follow these general steps to get the unit up and running:

• Mount the UPS securely in a standard IT rack or place it on a stable, level surface configured for a tower installation. Verify there is sufficient clearance around the unit for cooling and service access.
• Connect the input power according to your facility’s electrical design. The SU6000RT4UHVHW supports 208/240V input with options for hardwired connections; follow local electrical codes when wiring the unit to the main power supply.
• Attach the battery modules or external battery cabinets if extended runtime is required. Ensure all battery connections are secure and, if applicable, allow for a brief battery conditioning period before full use.
• Connect protected equipment to the UPS output outlets, prioritizing critical servers, storage arrays, and network devices. Maintain clear separation between essential and nonessential loads to optimize runtime availability during outages.
• Establish monitoring and management by connecting the USB cable to a management host or installing a network management card for remote visibility. Install any provided software, drivers, or management utilities, and configure shutdown policies, alert thresholds, and SNMP settings as needed.
• Power on the UPS, run a self-test, and verify that the “On-Line” indicator shows normal operation. Check battery status, runtime estimates, and outlet configurations. Document the installation for future maintenance and battery replacement schedules.

Tip: Regularly test the AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) and self-test functions, and schedule periodic battery health checks to ensure your system remains protected during real power events. Maintain up-to-date firmware for network cards and management adapters to maximize compatibility with your infrastructure monitoring tools.
