2: INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK

The APC Smart-UPS RT External Battery Pack provides extended protection to safeguard your

computer and other valuable electronic equipment. The external battery pack also provides extra pro-

tection while replacing the batteries in the UPS.

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF BATTERY PACKS SUPPORTED BY THE UPS

The Smart-UPS RT can support an unlimited number of external battery packs. Battery pack con-

nectors are color-coded and keyed to prevent improper connection. Models SURT1000XLI and

SURT2000XLI both use battery pack model SURT48XLBP. Both are designed to operate in the

tower configuration and rack mount configuration.

UNPACKING

1. Inspect the battery pack upon receipt. APC designed robust packaging for your product. How-

ever, 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. Check the package contents. The shipping package contains the battery pack, its front bezel

(packaged separately), mounting foot expansion piece, rear bracket tie, and a literature kit con-

taining product documentation.

The battery pack is shipped with the front bezel removed (packaged separately within

the main box). You will install the plastic bezel during the installation procedure.

POSITIONING THE BATTERY PACK

Place the battery pack where it will be used. The battery pack is heavy. Select a location sturdy

enough to handle the weight.

Consider that you must install the battery pack in a protected area that is free of excessive dust and

has adequate airflow. Ensure the air vents on the front and rear of the battery pack are not blocked.

Allow at least one inch of space on both sides.

Do not operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity are outside the specified limits. Refer to

Specifications at the APC web site.
