3 Installation 
 
3.1. Unpacking Equipment 
 
Remove equipment from packing material and inspect for shipping damage or missing items.  It 
is important to report damage or material shortages to the shipping carrier while a 
representative is on site.    
 
If concealed damage or material shortages are found at a later time, contact the shipper to 
make arrangements for inspection and claim filing.  Refer to Section 10 in the event it is 
necessary to return equipment to APC. 
 
 
 
CAUTION:  Appropriate lifting techniques and safety equipment should be 
used to remove equipment from packing. 
 
 
PLEASE RECYCLE:  The shipping materials can be recycled.  Please save 
them for later use or dispose accordingly. 
 
3.2. Mechanical Installation 
 
Room / Location 
 
NOTE: The APC dc power plant is to be installed in a room, vault, or similar enclosure that is 
accessible only to qualified persons in accordance with the regulatory authority having 
jurisdiction. 
 
Prior to installation, drawings, floor loading requirements, external alarm points,  ac  service 
entrance, and grounding schemes should all be checked and confirmed.  If batteries are to be 
mounted in a room separate from the power plant, careful attention should be paid to battery 
cable voltage drop effects.  Environmental operating temperatures and ventilation/cooling 
considerations should also be noted, not just for the power system but also for all other 
equipment that may reside in the power room area. 
 
Mounting 
 
The Magnum VS provides brackets to mount on a standard EIA 19 or 23-inch rack.  Install the 
power system using hardware designed for the rack.  To install a Magnum VS 50 on a 23-inch 
rack use bracket kit number 0M-2829.  To install a Magnum VS 100 on a 23-inch rack use 
bracket kit number 0M-2830.
