Chapter 2: INSTALLATION
2.1. What's Included
• USB cable; one 2 m long
• Quick Installation Guide
• Safety and Regulatory Guidelines
• Tower-support stands (2U and 3U models only)
• Rack-mount rail kit (except MT models)
2.2. Unpacking and Inspection
Unpack the UPS and conduct the following checks:
• Inspect the UPS for shipping damage. If any shipping damage is found, report it to the carrier and your local
dealer or your Vertiv representative immediately.
• Check the accessories included in packaging list. If there is any discrepancy, contact your local dealer or
your Vertiv representative immediately.
2.3. Preparation for Installation
2.3.1. Installation Environment
Unpack the UPS and conduct the following checks:
• Install the UPS indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally turned O. The
installation environment should meet the specications listed in SPECIFICATIONS on page 41.
• Place it in an area of unrestricted air-ow around the unit, away from water, ammable liquids, gases,
corrosives, and conductive contaminants. Avoid direct sunlight.
• The socket outlet should be nearby and easily accessible.
• This UPS is not for use in a computer room as dened in the standard for the Protection of Electronic
Computer/Data Processing Equipment ANSI/NFPA 75.
NOTE: Operating the UPS in temperatures above 25°C reduces battery life.
2.3.2.Installation Clearances
Maintain at least 100 mm clearance in the front and rear. Do not obstruct the air inlets on the front panel and rear
panel. Blocking the air inlets reduces ventilation and heat dissipation, shortening the service life of the UPS.

INSTALLATION8
2.4. Installing the UPS
2.4.1. Installing a 2U or 3U Model
The 2U and 3U UPS and optional battery cabinets may be installed in a tower or rack conguration. Determine
the conguration that meets your application needs, see Tower Installation below, or Rack-mount Installation on
the facing page.
Tower Installation
When using the UPS in a tower conguration, see Figure 2-1 below. If you have an external battery, see Figure 2-2
on the facing page.
Figure 2-1 Attaching stands to the UPS
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1 Connect the two halves of the stand together.
2 Place the UPS in the stands.
3 Make sure that the stands are installed 70 mm from the edge of the unit.

Vertiv | Liebert® EDGE | Installer/User Guide 9
Figure 2-2 Attaching stands to the UPS and external battery
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1Connect the two halves of the stand to the spacer, after installing the additional stand components shown in
item 4, and install the securing screws.
2Place the UPS and external battery pack in the stands. (Rotate the display on the UPS if needed, see Figure
2-1 on the previous page.)
3 Make sure that the stands are installed 70 mm from the edge of the unit.
4 Insert the stand expansion components and install the securing screws.
Rack-mount Installation
CAUTION: Do not use the mounting brackets to lift the unit. Only use the mounting brackets to
secure the UPS to the rack.
When using the UPS in a rack, see Figure 2-3 on the next page, to install the unit. If you have an external battery,
see Figure 2-4 on the next page.

Vertiv | Liebert® EDGE | Installer/User Guide 11
2.4.2.Installing a 2U or 3U Model
CAUTION: Do not use the mounting brackets to lift the unit. Only use the mounting brackets to
secure the UPS to the rack.
See Figure 2.5 below, to install the unit.
Figure 2-5 Installing the UPS in a rack
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1 Attach the brackets to the UPS.
2 Install the supplied rack kit into the rack.
3Install the UPS in the rack.
2.4.3.Installing a Mini Tower (MT) Model
Place the unit upright, on its feet without blocking air inlets.
2.5. Connecting Loads
The UPS has non-programmable and programmable outlets. Plug your critical equipment (such as computer,
monitors, etc.) into the non-programmable outlets and your less-critical equipment (such as printers and other
less-often used peripherals) into the programmable outlets.

INSTALLATION12
2.6. USB Communication Connection
You can connect the PSI5 to a computer via USB allowing unattended, controlled-shutdown of your computer
in case of UPS input power failure. The UPS works with the computer running software built-in within the
Microsoft® Windows® operating system. Use of this feature is not required for proper operation of the UPS. To
use this feature, plug the provided USB cable into USB Type-B port located on the rear panel of the UPS and the
other end into an open USB port on your computer.
2.7. Emergency Power-o (EPO) Connection (Optional)
To comply with national and local wiring codes and regulations, the EPO connector internally disconnects all
power sources to the UPS and connected equipment. The default operation is "active open" which means you
must remove the factoryinstalled jumper and connect to external contacts that are normally closed, but open
during a power-o event. The logic may be reversed in the Settings. If you do not use the EPO connector, leave
the factory-installed jumper in place and the default EPO settings in the Settings.
2.8. External Battery Cabinet Connection on 2U and 3U Models
(Optional)
External battery cabinets provide longer battery run-time for connected devices. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS on
page 41, and Battery Run Times on page 47, to select the appropriate model and quantity for your PSI5
model and applications. You can connect up to 6 battery cabinets to the 2U EDGE models.
To connect an external battery pack:
1. Connect one end of the external-battery cable to the UPS and one end to the battery cabinet as shown in
Figure 2-6 on the facing page.
2. If connecting more than one external battery, connect one end of the external battery cable to the second
connector on the battery cabinet, the connect the other end to the next battery cabinet as shown in Figure
2-6 on the facing page.
NOTE: After install and initial start-up, set the number of installed battery cabinets in the UPS Settings.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
1 Connection to second connector on external battery cabinet for additional battery cabinets.
2Connection from UPS to single/rst external battery.
3 Connect to next external battery.
4 Connection to UPS.

INSTALLATION14
2.9. Network Communication Card Connection (Optional)
For external status monitoring, there is a Network Communications port where one of the network cards may be
installed:
• IntelliSlot Relay card, IS-UNITY-SNMP
• IntelliSlot Unity™ card, IS-UNITY-DP
To install the card:
1. Remove the two screws and protective cover on the rear-panel Network Communications Port.
2. Insert the card into the port and secure it with the screws.
3. Refer to the documentation with the card or at www.Vertiv.com for cable connection and operation.
2.9.1. Connecting AC Input
Ensure that all the loads are rst powered o. Connect to an input-power supply/wall outlet that is properly
protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with national and local electrical codes. The input receptacle must
be grounded. See SPECIFICATIONS on page 41, for input cord rating. Once the UPS is plugged into the wall
outlet, it begins charging the battery.
NOTE: While every precaution has been taken to ensure that the battery is in good condition, we recommend
allowing the UPS to be plugged into AC input and to charge the battery for at least 12 hours prior to providing full
back-up time protection for any utility-power abnormality.
