Inspecting the uninterruptible power supply for unsafe conditions

Ensure that you take the time to inspect the uninterruptible power supply for unsafe conditions.

Consider the following conditions and their potential safety hazards:

Electrical hazards (especially primary power): Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or lethal electrical shock.
Explosive hazards: A bulging capacitor can cause serious injury.
Mechanical hazards: Loose or missing items (for example, nuts and screws) can cause serious injury.

Use caution when working in a potential safety hazard that is not covered in the safety checks. If unsafe conditions are present, determine how serious the hazards are and whether you can continue before you correct the problem.

Using the following inspection checklist as a guide, inspect the uninterruptible power supply for unsafe conditions. If necessary, see any suitable safety publications.

If any equipment has been damaged during the shipment, keep the shipping cartons and packing materials.

2. Send a copy of the damage claim within fifteen days to your service support representative.
