Installation Manual English APC Smart-UPS® 1400 VA 3U Rack and Stack Uninterruptible Power Supply 230 Vac 990-1048, Revision 1 12/00
1: SAFETY INFORMATION American Power Conversion Corporation (APC) is the leading national and international manufacturer of state-of-the-art uninterruptible power supplies, redundant switches, power management software, and related equipment. APC products protect hardware, software, and data from the threat of power disturbances in business and government offices throughout the world.
Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical grounds. n Connect the equipment to a three wire AC outlet (two poles plus ground). The receptacle must be connected to appropriate branch circuit/mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard.
2: INSTALLATION The UPS has a “rack and stack” design that provides two mounting options. The UPS can be mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack or stacked on a battery pack(s) model SU24RMXLBP2U. Hardware is provided for either option. UNPACKING 1. Inspect the UPS upon receipt. APC designed robust packaging for your product. However, accidents and damage may occur during shipment. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage. The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it properly. 2.
STACKING THE UPS ON A BATTERY PACK Note: For rack mounting, proceed to Mounting the UPS in a Rack, below. 1. Unpack the four mounting feet shipped in the mounting kit. 2. Turn the UPS on its side so the bottom surface is accessible. 3. Locate the indentations on the bottom of the UPS that mark the feet positions (indicated by arrows in the figure at left). 4.
Removing the Battery The battery is accessible from the front of the UPS. This procedure requires a Phillips head screwdriver. 1. Use a screwdriver to remove the two battery door screws and open the door (hinged panel). 2. The battery is disconnected for shipment. 3. To disconnect the battery, take out the white cord that is tucked into the space above the battery . This cord serves as a handle for the connector plug. 4. Be careful during this step—the battery is heavy.
4. 5. 6. Use the handles on the side of the UPS to support the unit. Due to the weight of the UPS, two people are required to install it in the rack. In four-post mounting each side of the UPS has a cleat that must slide into the groove on the rails. Slide the UPS into position. Use the four ornamental screws supplied with the UPS to attach the mounting brackets to the rack post in both two and four post mounting. Check the rack to make sure it will not tip after loading the UPS into the rack.
7. Unpack the bezel and hold it with the cutout section on the right. Align the tabs on the side of the bezel with the slots on the front of the UPS and gently snap it into place. To connect an optional external battery pack(s) to the UPS, refer to the 2U Battery Pack User’s Manual for instructions. This Smart-UPS 1400 XL can support a maximum of ten external battery packs, model SU24RMXLBP2U.
CONNECTING POWER AND EQUIPMENT TO THE UPS 1. Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounding receptacle only. Avoid using extension cords and adapter plugs. Your UPS is not supplied with an input line cord. Three output line cords are supplied for connecting equipment (loads). Additional cords are available from your dealer. 2. Swap an input cord from another piece of equipment with one of the supplied output cords. The input cord used for the UPS must be three conductor—1.0 mm2, rated 10 Amps.
3: TRANSPORTING YOUR SMART-UPS The UPS may be transported in or out of the rack. In either case the battery must be disconnected! Always DISCONNECT THE BATTERY before shipping the UPS to avoid damage during transport. (U.S. Federal Regulation requires that batteries are disconnected during shipment.) The battery may remain in the UPS; it does not have to be removed. This requirement applies whether the UPS is shipped alone or installed in an equipment rack or system.
REMOVING THE UPS FROM THE RACK If your UPS is mounted in a rack and you are removing it from the rack for transport: Remove the four ornamental screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the handle located on the front of the UPS and pull the unit halfway out of the rack. n Use the handles on the sides of the unit for additional support and slide the unit out of the rack.
4: TROUBLESHOOTING Use the chart below to solve minor UPS installation problems. Contact APC for assistance with complex UPS problems. Refer to the Operation Manual for operational problems. PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION UPS WILL NOT TURN ON ON button not pushed. UPS not connected to AC power supply. UPS input circuit breaker tripped. Very low or no utility voltage. Battery not connected properly. Press the ON button once to power the UPS and the load.
SERVICE If the UPS requires service do not return it to the dealer. Instead follow these steps: 1. Review the problems discussed in Troubleshooting to eliminate common problems. 2. Verify that no circuit breakers are tripped. A tripped circuit breaker is the most common UPS problem. 3. If the problem persists, refer to Contacting APC, next page. Note the model number of the battery pack, the serial number, and the date purchased.
