◆ Photo review
The APC GS Pro 500 package looks something like this.


300 W maximum output power, charging time is 12 hours, weight is about 2.2 kg.


The back side of the box looks something like this, explanation of the function etc.


Paccari immediately.


Inside are the main body and battery, and three boxes made of cardboard.


In the box there are a stand for supporting the main body, instructions, cables, and CDs containing special software and manual as well.


Looking side by side like this.


The cable is LAN cable, telephone line, dedicated USB cable from the left.


And the body of you waiting.


Even if you take a package of vinyl, the vinyl sheet is still stuck to the surface of the main body.


Periperiperi.


I also peel off the surface sheet exquisitely.


This is the body of the APC GS Pro 500. I can not think it is a UPS at all by just looking at it.


Main unit power button and various indicators.


There is an outlet of the outlet on the back, the left side is the master outlet, the backup outlet next to it, and the right two are smart outlets. The master outlet is the plug which can safely back up the connected equipment and if you plug the power plug into the smart outlet, you can turn on / off / restart the power by remote operation.


There is a battery insertion part on the side of the main body.


Next is opening the battery.


The battery is like this.


There is such a notation so as not to mistake the insertion direction of the battery.


The connection terminal part is like this.


Immediately install the battery. Lid of the main body's battery insertion part ......


Paccari.


Insert the battery.


It was easy to install just inserting it all the way back.


Closing the lid completes the installation of the battery.


Next, install the stand part.


Installed so that it fits into the dent next to the battery insertion part.


Now that the power supply is inserted, it is ready.


Connect the power cord of the personal computer and the display to this, as well as the LAN cable and the included USB cable.


Since this time it was connected to the desktop computer, I inserted the plug of the PC main body into the master outlet.


And power ON!


While connecting with APC GS Pro 500, I was able to check the startup of PC.
