Tripp-Lite UPS Unit and Battery Installation Guide
- Adam Arafat
Overview
Maintaining an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) device is crucial due to its average lifespan ranging from 3 to 5 years with daily usage. This document is meant to guide the user through the installation of the Tripp-Lite unit in a V2 cabinet and the internal battery of the Tripp-Lite SMARTPRO500 UPS.
Disconnect any electrical device from power before performing any work on the device. It is recommended that the instructions contained herein be performed by individuals who are qualified to perform these tasks. Card Concepts Inc. takes no responsibility for any damage that may occur to target equipment. CCI Technical Support recommends using all appropriate safety equipment (such as hand and eye protection) during execution of the instructions below.

Step-by-step guide
Step 1 - Shutting down the computer
Refer to LaundryCard: Proper Reboot and Shutdown Procedures. Shutdown the computer in the X-Changer that requires the replacement hardware according the the instructions contained therein.
Step 2 - Locating the Tripp-Lite and verifying hardware configuration
Locate the Tripp-Lite UPS (highlighted in red, alternate configurations shown side by side).
Some X-Changer cabinets (shown on the left, below) contain multiple Tripp-Lite devices, but will only contain one Tripp-Lite UPS (also known as a battery backup, outlined in red).

Step 3 - Powering down the UPS
Locate the power button on the front of the Tripp-Lite UPS.
If the status lights above the power button are lit green, hold down the power button (circled in red) until the unit powers off.
Go to the back of the unit and disconnect all cables connected to the UPS. These cables can then be temporarily routed to a surge protector to keep the X-Changer powered on, if necessary.
Disconnect the UPS unit from the wall receptacle.
Step 4 - Removing the Tripp-Lite UPS from the mounting rack
CCI Technical Support recommends taking a picture or labeling the cables before unplugging and remove the units. This is extremely important because different outlets in the Tripp-Lite UPS provide different functionality.
Step 5 - Installing The Replacement Unit
Step 6 - Powering on the Tripp-Lite UPS
Press and hold the "ON/OFF/STANDBY" button until the UPS powers back on.
Check the Tripp-Lite UPS status lights on the front panel of the unit.
The battery light is amber-colored it will change to green when battery is fully charged in approximately 24-48 hours.
If the voltage light (circled in red, below) is not on, hold the power button for several seconds until the unit powers on.
Verify your system boots.
