Rack Mounting

Mount your equipment in either a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure (see next page for 2-post
mounting). 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.

Connect the two segments of each shelf

using the

included screws and nuts

. Leave the screws slightly

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

Adjust each shelf to fit your rack, then mount them in
the lowest available space of your rack with the
screws, nuts and washers provided

. Note that the

support ledges should face inward. Tighten the screws
that connect the shelf segments

.

Attach mounting ears

to the front mounting holes

of your equipment

using the screws provided

.

The ears should face forward.

Using 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

through its mounting ears and into the

rack rails.
