Mounting - Tripp Lite SmartPro SMX5000XLRT3U Owner's Manual

Mounting

Your UPS may be rackmounted in 4- or 2-post racks. To mount the UPS (power module +
external battery module) in a 2-post rack, purchase the appropriate hardware, sold separately
(order Tripp Lite model # 2POSTRMKITHD). See 2POSTRMKITHD owner's manual for installation
instructions. To mount the UPS in a 4-post rack, use the included hardware and follow the
procedure outlined below. The procedures are for common rack types and may not be appropriate
for all rack configurations. User must determine the fitness of rackmount hardware and
procedures before mounting.
CAUTION: Rackmount equipment may be extremely heavy—be careful when moving or
lifting equipment. Use one or more assistants if necessary.
4-Post Rack Mounting
Square-Hole Rack Installation
1 The included plastic pegs
temporarily support the empty
rackmount shelves
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.
2 Secure the shelves
rails permanently using the included
screws and cup washers
Place 6 screws total at the front and 4
screws total at the back.
Tighten all screws before proceeding.
Warning: Do not attempt to install
your equipment until you have
inserted and tightened the required
screws. The plastic pegs will not
support the weight of your
equipment.

Attach your equipment's mounting
brackets to the forward mounting holes
of the cabinet using the hardware
included with your equipment. The
mounting bracket "ears" should face
forward. (Some equipment may have
pre-installed or integral mounting
brackets.)
