  7. Remove all power modules from the top row of the UPS:
    WARNING
    Top-heavy cabinet
    Do not remove any power modules from the bottom row of the UPS. This will make the UPS top-heavy and make it tilt more easily.
    Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
    CAUTION
    Heavy load
    Power modules are heavy (38 kg (83.77 lbs)) and require two persons to lift.
    Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
    1. Remove the screws in the top and bottom of the power module and push the unlock switch.
    2. Pull the power module halfway out. A locking mechanism prevents the power module from being pulled all the way out.
    3. Release the lock by pressing the release button on the top of the power module and remove the power module.
    4. Install a filler plate (if available) in front of the empty power module slot.
    5. Store the power modules correctly until reinstallation.
      WARNING
      risk of equipment damage
      • Store the power modules at an ambient temperature of -15 to 40 °C (5 to 104 °F), 10-80% non-condensing humidity.
      • Store the power modules in their original protective packaging.
      Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
  8. Open the inner door of the UPS.
  9. Measure for and verify ABSENCE of voltage on each input/bypass/output/neutral/DC busbar before continuing.
    DANGER
    hAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
    Measure for and verify ABSENCE of voltage on each input/bypass/output/neutral/DC busbar before continuing.
    Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
  10. For UPS system without maintenance bypass cabinet: Perform the following steps.
    1. Remove the transparent plastic protectors from the busbars. Remove the plastic box for easier access. Save all parts for reinstallation after cable disconnection.
      NOTE: On newer UPS models, the box (marked (C) on the illustration) is integrated in the inner door of the UPS instead of being a separate part. The integrated box must not be removed from the inner door.

    2. Disconnect all power cables from the UPS.
    3. Reinstall the transparent plastic protectors (marked (A) on the illustration) and the plastic box (marked (B) on the illustration) in the original position.
      NOTE: On newer UPS models, the box (marked (C) on the illustration) is integrated in the inner door of the UPS instead of being a separate part.

      CAUTION
      Risk of arc flash and overheating
      The transparent plastic protectors and the plastic box must be reinstalled in the original position after power cabling is completed. Note: On newer UPS models, the box is integrated in the inner door of the UPS instead of being a separate part.
      Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
  11. For UPS system with maintenance bypass cabinet: Remove the busbars and insulator parts that connect the UPS to the maintenance bypass cabinet. Refer to the maintenance bypass cabinet installation manual for details. Save all parts for reinstallation.

  13. If external sync is present: Remove the transparent protection cover from the external synchronization board 0P4809. The external synchronization board 0P4809 is located on the rear of the front plate. Disconnect the signal cables from the external synchronization board 0P4809.
    DANGER
    HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
    Check for absence of voltage for all three signal terminals on the external synchronization board 0P4809. When the external synchronization cables are installed, the terminals on the external synchronization board 0P4809 may be energized. Disconnect the fuse disconnector device at the source before removing the transparent protection cover.
    Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
  14. Close the inner door and reinstall the screws.
  15. Disconnect and remove any signal cables from the UPS.
  16. Remove the seismic front anchoring bracket/front transportation bracket from the UPS. Save for reinstallation.
  17. Close and lock the front door.
  18. Raise the feet of the UPS until the casters have full contact with the floor.
  19. You can now move the UPS by rolling it over the floor on the casters.
    WARNING
    TIPPING hazard
    • The casters of the UPS are exclusively for transport on flat, even, hard, and horizontal surfaces.

    • Use appropriate means of fixation to mount the UPS to the pallet.

    • The original shipping pallet in combination with the original transportation brackets can be reused, if in undamaged condition.

    DANGER
    TIPPING hazard
    • The UPS must be appropriately fixed to the pallet immediately after being placed on the pallet.
    • The fixation hardware must be strong enough to withstand vibrations and shocks during loading, transport, and unloading.
    Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
    WARNING
    Unexpected equipment behavior
    Do not lift the UPS with a forklift/pallet truck directly on the frame as it may bend or damage the frame.
