Live Swap: Add, Remove, or Replace a Power Module

NOTE: This UPS has been designed and evaluated for power module insertion and removal in any operation mode: Live Swap. This page specifies manufacturer’s instructions for how to perform Live Swap.
NOTE: Incident energy is <1.2 cal/cm2 when installed and first startup commissioned in accordance with product instructions. Incident energy is measured 200 mm from cabinet front.

DISCLAIMER:

  • Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, maintained, replaced, or have similar work carried out on it only by suitably qualified, trained, experienced, and competent personnel who hold any necessary authorizations (e.g. licenses, permits or certifications) to perform such work. All work must be carried out in a way that does not give rise to danger and using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). 

  • User must ensure compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and user manual and with all applicable laws, regulations, standards, and guidance when using this equipment and carrying out work or permitting work to be carried out on or near electrical equipment.

  • Neither Schneider Electric nor any of its affiliates shall be liable for any claims, costs, losses, damages, death, or injuries arising out of the improper use of this equipment or any failure to comply with any of the above requirements.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash
  • Verify that the UPS has the Live Swap label present.
  • If no Live Swap label is present on the UPS, then the UPS must be transferred to maintenance bypass operation or turned off before a power module can be inserted or removed.
  • Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices.
  • Insertion or removal of power modules must only be performed by qualified personnel knowledgeable of electrical work and the required precautions. Keep unqualified personnel away.
  • This procedure requires opening the front door. All other doors and covers must remain closed and secured during this procedure.
  • Verify that the UPS is secured against movement before performing this procedure.
  • If evidence of poor maintenance or poor installation is observed, do not proceed with this procedure.
  • Do not install power modules which have been accidentally dropped, broken, flooded, contaminated, infested, or damaged in any way.
  • Do not install power modules which are of unknown operational state.
  • Keep a minimum distance of 200 mm from the cabinet front while the system is energized.
  • Do not use any tools inside the empty power module slot.
  • Do not reach into the empty power module slot.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
risk of equipment damage
  • Store the power modules at an ambient temperature of -25 to 55 °C, 0-95% 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.
WARNING
Heavy load
Power modules are heavy (54 kg). Use appropriate lifting equipment and trained personnel to lift and handle the power module. It is recommended to use a scissor lifting cart or similar appropriate lifting equipment as shown in this procedure, see Specifications for Recommended Scissor Lifting Cart for details. If no lifting equipment is available, three persons are required to lift and handle the power module.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
WARNING
Hazard of injury
Never stack the power modules on top of each other.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
CAUTION
Heavy load and potentially hot surface
Use protective gloves and safety shoes when handling the power modules.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
NOTICE
Risk of Installation overload
Check and verify that the installation is correctly sized for the increase in power rating before installing more power modules in the UPS. Incorrect sizing of the installation can result in an installation overload. See the installation manual for requirements for upstream and downstream protection, cable sizes, etc.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
NOTICE
Risk of load drop
Check and verify that the remaining power modules can support the load before removing a power module from the UPS.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
NOTE: The power module slots must always be filled from lowest to highest position number. When adding extra power modules, install in the lowest free position number. When reducing the number of power modules, remove from the highest occupied position number.

Specifications for Recommended Scissor Lifting Cart

CE/GS approved
  1. Remove an installed power module:
    1. Set the enable switch to the OFF (unlocked) position. Remove the four screws from the power module and save the screws.
    2. Use the provided power module tool to pull the power module out from the power module slot. Place the tool as shown.

    3. Pull the power module halfway out. A locking mechanism prevents the power module from being pulled all the way out.
    4. Release the lock by pressing the release button in the right side of the power module and pull the power module out onto an appropriate scissor lifting cart.
    5. If no replacement power module will be installed: Install a filler plate in front of the empty power module slot. Reuse the screws from the old power module.
  2. Install a new power module:
    1. If present, remove the filler plate from the empty power module slot. Save the filler plate for future use and save the screws.
    2. Use an appropriate lifting cart to lift the power module to the correct height and push the power module into the power module slot.
    3. Install the four screws in the left and right sides of the power module. Reuse the screws from the filler plate/old power module.
    4. Set the enable switch on the power module to the ON (locked) position.
    The power module will perform a self-test, automatically upgrade the firmware according to the system, and then go online. The UPS operation mode shown on the display will briefly change to Battery operation during the self-test and then return to the previous operation mode.
DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash
All power module slots must have either a power module or a filler plate installed.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
