Liebert® EDGE Installer/User Guide

3.3 Preparation for Installation
3.3.1 Installation Environment
Unpack the UPS and conduct the following checks:
•Install the UPS indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally turned off.
The installation environment should meet the specifications listed in Specifications.
•Confirm UPS installation area is an area of unrestricted air-flow around the unit, away from
water, flammable liquids, gases, corrosives, and conductive contaminants. Avoid direct sunlight.
•The utility power outlet should be nearby and easily accessible.
•This UPS is not for use in an Information Technology Equipment (ITE) room as defined in the
standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment ANSl/NFPA 75.
NOTE: Operating the UPS in temperatures above 25° C reduces battery life.
3.3.2 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.
3.4 Installing the UPS
3.4.1 Installation Environment
The 2U and 3U UPS and optional battery cabinets (not supported on LI models) may be installed in a
tower or rack configuration. Determine the configuration that meets your application needs, see Tower
Installation below , or Rack-mount Installation on page10 .
Tower Installation
When using the UPS in a tower configuration, see Figure 3.1 below . If you have an external battery, see
Figure 3.2 on the facing page on the below page.

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.
To install the UPS or EBC in a rack see Figure 3.3 below .
Figure 3.3 Installing the UPS in a rack
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1 Attach the rack ears with four rack ear screws to the front right and left sides of the UPS.
2
Install the rear member of the rail onto the rack with one rail kit screw on the top and one on the bottom. Loosely tighten the
screws (finger tight). Slide the front member of the rail to the front of the rack and secure the two bottom holes to the rack
with two rail kit screws. Tighten all screws. Repeat for the second rail.
3Place the UPS with assembled rack ears onto the rail supports. The batteries may be temporarily removed for easier
installation (see Replacing the UPS Batteries).
4
For 2U/3U models: attach two rail kit screws to each UPS rack ear and rail to secure the UPS to the rack.
For 1U models: attach one rail kit screw to each UPS rack ear and rail to secure the UPS to the rack.
5If using an optional external battery cabinet (EBC), follow steps 1-4. However, batteries cannot be removed from an EBC in
step 3.

Liebert® EDGE Installer/User Guide

CAUTION: Do not use the rack ears to lift the unit. Only use the rack ears to secure the UPS to
the rack.
3.4.2 Installing a Mini Tower (MT) Model
Place the unit upright, on its feet without blocking air inlets.
3.5 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.
3.6 USB Communication Connection
Basic monitoring of the EDGE and unattended controlled shutdown of your computer in case of a power
failure can be done using the Vertiv Power Assist software via the USB port. Visit
www.vertiv.com/powerassist for additional information.
3.7 Emergency Power-off (EPO) Connection (Optional)
To comply with national and local wiring codes and regulations, the EPO connector internally disconnects
all power sources to the connected equipment. The default operation is "active open" which means you
must remove the factory installed jumper and connect to external contacts that are normally closed, but
open during a power-off 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.

Liebert® EDGE Installer/User Guide

3.8 External Battery Cabinet Connection on 2U and 3U VRLA
Models (Optional)
External battery cabinets provide longer battery run-time for connected devices. Refer to Specifications,
and Battery Run Times, 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 and 3U models. LI, MT, and 1U
models do not support external battery cabinets.
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 3.4 below .
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 3.4 below .
NOTE: After install and initial start-up, set the number of installed battery cabinets in the UPS Settings.
Figure 3.4 Connecting External Batteries
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1 Connection to second connector on external battery cabinet for additional battery cabinets.
2 Connection from UPS to single/first external battery.
3 Connect to next external battery.
4 Connection to UPS.

3.9 Network Communication Card Connection (Optional)
Advanced monitoring and simple control of the EDGE can be done with the use of a Vertiv Liebert
IntelliSlot Unity Communications card. Visit www.vertiv.com/intellislot for additional information.
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. Refer to the documentation with the
card or at the link above for cable connection and operation.
3. Refer to the documentation with the card or at www.Vertiv.com for cable connection and
operation.
3.9.1 Connecting AC Input
Ensure that all the loads are first powered off. 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, 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.

4 Operations
4.1 Modes of Operation
4.1.1 Off Mode
The UPS input is plugged into a stable, nominal source, but the outlets are turned off. The internal
batteries are charging.
4.1.2 On/Normal Mode
The UPS input is plugged into a stable, nominal source, and the outlets are turned on. The internal
batteries are charging.
4.1.3 On/Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)/Boost1 Mode
The UPS input is plugged in, but the voltage source is somewhat low (brown-out). The UPS automatically
corrects the low voltage and allows the outlets to be on with the normal, expected voltage. The internal
batteries are charging.
4.1.4 On/Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)/Boost2 Mode
The UPS input is plugged in, but the voltage source is abnormally low (brown-out). The UPS automatically
corrects the low voltage and allows the outlets to be on with the normal, expected voltage. The internal
batteries are charging.
4.1.5 On/Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)/Buck Mode
The UPS input is plugged in, but the voltage source is abnormally high. The UPS automatically corrects
the high voltage and allows the outlets to be on with the normal, expected voltage. The internal batteries
are charging.
4.1.6 On/Battery Mode
The UPS input is not plugged in, or the voltage source has become extremely low or high and unusable.
The UPS automatically switches to the internal battery to provide normal, usable voltage to the outlets.
4.1.7 Fault Mode
An error or fault condition has occurred. The outlets are shut off.
4.1.8 Battery Self-test Mode
The UPS enters a cycle of approximately 10 seconds during which it tests the internal battery. The outlets
are still temporarily powered by the internal battery. Self-test mode occurs at the following instances:
•At start-up turning the UPS on.
•Automatically every 8 weeks as a self-check.
•When selecting the Replace battery option under Control > Start/Stop battery manual test
