Tripp Lite 5KVA-6KVA owner manual Post Mounting Optional

Mounting

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

1The included plastic pegs A will temporarily support the empty rackmount shelves B while you install the permanent mounting hardware. Insert a peg near the center of the front and rear bracket of each shelf as shown. (Each front bracket has 6 holes and each rear bracket has 3 holes.) The pegs will snap into place.

After installing the pegs, expand each shelf to match the depth of your rack rails. The pegs will fit through the square holes in the rack rails to support the shelves. Refer to the rack unit labels to confirm that the shelves are level in all directions. Note: The support ledge of each shelf must face inward.
