Rack Mounting - Tripp Lite SmartOnline AG-0358 Series Owner's Manual

Installation

Rack 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.
CAUTION: The equipment should be installed onto the rack rails at a height <1 m (36 in.).
If an external battery pack is to be used, it should be installed first in the lower part of the rack. Be sure to follow
instructions for Configuring External Battery Packs in this manual and in the BP192V12RT3US Owner's Manual
before proceeding with UPS installation.

The included plastic pegs
rack-mount shelves B while you install the permanent mounting
hardware. Insert a peg into the third hole from the top on the
front end of each bracket. On the rear end, insert a peg into the
center hole. (Each front bracket has 6 holes and each rear
bracket has 5 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.

Remove the pegs at the front end of each bracket. Secure the
shelves to the mounting rails permanently using the included

screws and cup washers
front of each rail (4 total) and 2 screws at the back of each rail

Note: The rear pegs can be left in for installation, but the front ones
must be removed before the bracket is secured by screws.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to install your UPS until you have
inserted and tightened the required screws. The plastic
pegs will not support the weight of your UPS.
