Battery Warnings • Connect only Tripp Lite battery modules (of the correct type and voltage) to your UPS power module’s external battery connector. • Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
2-Post Mounting (Optional) To mount your 5kVA or 6kVA UPS in a 2-post rack, you must purchase a Tripp Lite 2-Post Rackmount Installation Kit (model: 2POSTRMKITHD, sold separately) for each power module and battery pack installed. See the Installation Kit’s owner’s manual for complete mounting instructions.
Mounting Tower Mounting Mount all modules in an upright, tower position using included base stands. The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The UPS system is shipped with two sets of plastic feet and extensions that can be used to tower mount the 4U UPS and a 3U battery module (7U total).
