Getting Started
Each cabinet of your UPS system is shipped on a separate pallet. Use a
forklift or pallet jack to move the packaged cabinets to the installation site, or
as close as possible to the site, before you unload them from the pallets.
This is the basic sequence of the installation steps:
1. PrepareyoursitefortheUPScabinet(Chapter2).
2. Inspect, unpack, and unload the UPS cabinets (Chapter 2).
3. Create an installation plan for the UPS and optional cabinets (Chapter 3).
4. Join the cabinets together using supplied hardware (Chapter 4).
5. Wire the cabinets together (Chapters 5---12, as applicable).
6. Install features, accessories, and/or options (Chapters 5---12, as applicable).
7. Complete the Installation Checklist (Chapter 3).
8. Have authorized service personnel perform preliminary checks and startup.
After wiring the UPS system to the facility power and critical load(s), be sure to ground
the system according to local and/or national electrical wiring codes, using your own
cabling and conduit.
Install batteries in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, including the
National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 480.
NOTE: Startup and operational checks should be performed only by authorized
service personnel. This service is usually offered as part of the sales
contract for your UPS system.

164200292 REV. E 041500
Preparing Your Site
For your UPS system to operate at peak efficiency, your installation site should
meet the environmental parameters outlined in the operator’s manual for the UPS.
If you intend to operate the UPS at an altitude higher than 1500 meters (5000 feet),
contact your local sales or service office for important information about high
altitude operation. The operating environment must meet the size and weight
requirements shown in Table R of Appendix A.
The basic environmental requirements for operation of the UPS system are:
Ambient Temperature Range: 0 --- 4 0 ˚C (32---104˚F)
Recommended Operating Range: 20---25˚C (68---77˚F)
Maximum Relative Humidity: 95%
The UPS cabinet uses forced air cooling to regulate internal component temperature.
The battery and optional component cabinets use convection cooling to regulate
internal component temperature. Air inlets are in the front of the cabinet, and outlets
are in the top. You must allow clearance in front of and above each cabinet for proper
air circulation.
Environment Considerations
ThelifeoftheUPSsystemwillbeadverselyaffectediftheinstallationdoesnot
meet the following guidelines:
1. The UPS system must be installed on a sealed concrete pad on a sealed
concrete floor.
2. The UPS system must be installed in a dust-free environment.
3. The UPS system must be installed in a humidity-controlled environment.
Preparing for Wiring the UPS System
For external wiring requirements, including the minimum AWG size of external
wiring, see Tables J through L in Appendix A. The power wiring for this equipment
is rated at 75˚C. Ifwireisruninanambienttemperaturegreaterthan30˚C, higher
temperature and/or larger size wire may be necessary. Wiring for optional
accessories (such as a Remote Monitor Panel (RMP) or Relay Interface Module
(RIM)) should be installed through the 28.6 mm (1.1 in.) knockout in the bottom of
the UPS cabinet. The top entry connection requires installation of ½-in. flexible
conduit within the UPS. Bottom entry connection requires no additional routing of
conduit within the UPS.

Cabinets arrive covered with protective packaging material as shown in Figure 2.
FOAM CUSHION
OUTER
PACKAGING
Figure 2. Cabinet as Shipped, with Outer Packaging and Pallet
1. Carefully inspect the outer packaging for evidence of damage during transit.
CAUTION:
Do not install a damaged cabinet. Report any damage to the carrier and
contact your local sales or service office immediately.
2. Use a forklift or other material handling equipment to move the cabinet to a
convenient unpacking area. Insert the forklift jacks between the foam cushions
on the bottom of the unit.
CAUTION:
Do not tilt cabinets more than 10 degrees from vertical.

8Powerware 9315 (100 kVA--160 kVA) Installation
164200292 REV. E 041500
3. Set each pallet on a firm, level surface, allowing a minimum clearance of
4.6m (15 ft) on each side for removing the cabinets from the pallets.
4. Cut the steel bands around each cabinet.
5. Remove the protective cardboard covering from the cabinets, cutting where
indicated, using a knife blade no longer than 25 mm (1 in.).
NOTE: Do not discard the packaging material yet. Instructions for unloading the
cabinet from the pallet are printed on the cardboard, and you will need to
refer to them.
6. Remove the plastic bag and foam packing material, and discard or recycle
them in a responsible manner.
Unloading the UPS Cabinet From the Pallet
The UPS cabinet is bolted to a sheet metal pallet consisting of four supports secured
to foam cushions. The foam cushions act as shock absorbers for the cabinet during
shipment.
WARNING:
UPS cabinets are extremely heavy. If unloading instructions are not
closely followed, the cabinet may tip and cause serious injury.
Turning the jacking bolts unevenly may cause the cabinet to become
unbalanced. To prevent tipping, raise and lower the jacking bolts
evenly. The cabinet should only be raised approximately 3 mm (1/8 in.)
above the floor (just enough to remove foam cushions).
1. Remove the doors. Remove the retaining screw located inside each door at
the bottom hinge pivot point, then lift the door off. Save the retaining screws
for reinstallation of the doors.
2. Locate the field kit (packed inside of the cabinet or communications panel).
Locate the four ½-in. jacking bolts and install them in the threaded holes in the
front and rear supports. Place a floor protector underneath each jacking bolt,
and screw the bolts down against them. The floor protectors will save the floor
from being marred by the jacking bolts.
3. Loosen, but do not remove the hardware holding the foam cushions to the
front and rear supports (labeled “1” in Figure 3).
4. Turn each jacking bolt consecutively, two full turns, until the foam cushions
clear the floor by approximately 3 mm (1/8 in.).
5. After the foam cushions clear the floor, remove the hardware loosened in
step 3. Pull the foam cushions out from under the UPS cabinet, and discard or
recycle them in a responsible manner.
