Rack Mounting

Installation

Mount your equipment in either a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure. The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware and procedures are not suitable for your application, contact the manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure. The procedures described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications.

4-Post Mounting

All UPS models include hardware required to mount in a 4-post rack. Select models include an adjustable rackmount shelf kit to provide additional support. If your UPS model does not include an adjustable rackmount shelf kit, skip steps 1 and 2.

1 Connect the two segments of each shelf A using the included screws and nuts B . Leave the screws

slightly loose so that the shelves can be adjusted in the next step.

2Adjust each shelf to fit your rack, then mount them in the lowest available space of your rack with the screws, nuts and washers provided C . Note that the support ledges should face inward. Tighten the screws that connect the shelf segments B .

3Attach mounting ears D to the front mounting holes of your equipment E using the screws provided F . The ears should face forward.

4Using an assistant if necessary, lift your equipment and slide it onto the mounting shelves. Attach your equipment to the rack by using the appropriate hardware G through its mounting ears and into the rack rails.

2-Post Mounting

If you mount the UPS in a 2-post rack, it requires the addition of a Tripp Lite 2-Post Rackmount Installation Kit (model: 2POSTRMKITWM, sold separately). See Installation Kit owner’s manual for 2-post rackmounting procedures.

Tower Mounting

5 Your UPS can be mounted in an upright tower position with optional base stands sold separately by Tripp Lite (Model # 2-9USTAND). When mounting the UPS on adjustable base stands, make sure that the control panel is toward the top. The control panel may be rotated to make it easier to read. Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool in the slots on either side of the panel, pop it out, rotate it, and pop it back into place as shown.

WARNING!

All UPS systems are extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and mounting. User must properly stabilize the UPS when lifting and mounting.
