Mounting

Mounting (4-Post Rackmount)

The UPS includes rackmount shelf kits for 4-post rackmounting. 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.

WARNING! The UPS system is extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and mounting. User must properly stabilize the UPS when lifting and mounting. Note: The power module and battery module must be installed in separate shelves.

INSTALL THE 4U EXTERNAL BATTERY PACK BEFORE INSTALLING THE POWER MODULE. SEE THE INCLUDED BATTERY PACK OWNER'S MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS.

1Connect the two segments of each shelf using the included attached screws and wing nuts. Leave the screws slightly loose so that the shelves can be adjusted in the next step.

2Adjust each shelf to fit the rack, then mount them in the lowest available space of the rack (above the battery pack) with the screws, nuts and washers provided. Note that the support ledges should face inward. Tighten the wingnuts that connect the shelf segments.

3Attach mounting ears to the front mounting holes of the UPS using the screws provided. The ears should face forward.

4Using one or more assistants, lift the UPS and slide it onto the mounting shelves. Attach the UPS to the rack by inserting the appropriate hardware through the mounting ears and into the rack rails.

Mounting (Tower)

Mount the UPS system in a vertical, tower position using 2-9USTAND base stands (optional). The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting.

WARNING! The UPS system is extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and mounting. User must properly stabilize the UPS when lifting and mounting.

1Adjust the stands to a width of 6.93 inches (176 mm) for the power module. Adjust the stands to a width of 13.86 inches (352 mm) for the power module and external battery pack. Align the stands approximately 10 inches (254 mm) apart.

2Have one or more assistants help you place the UPS on its side in the stands. Place the UPS so that its control panel is on top and facing outward.

3Rotate the control panel for easy viewing while the UPS is mounted in tower position. Insert a small tool in the slots on either side of the control panel. Gently lever the panel out; rotate it; gently push the panel back into place.
