Rack-Mount Installation

To install a 9- or 12-slot uninterruptible power system (UPS) cabinet into
a rack, you must order a cabinet specifically designed for rack-mounting.
Nine- and 12-slot battery cabinets ASY-0749 and ASY-0750 are also
available for rack-mounting. These models can be installed in an
EIA-standard 48.3 cm (19”) equipment rack and include a rack-mounting
kit with the brackets and required hardware.

To install the UPS or battery cabinet in the equipment rack:

NOTE The 9- and 12-slot cabinets are heavy [9-slot: 72 kg (158 lb); 12-slot: 89 kg (196 lb)].
This procedure requires two people to lift and position the cabinet into the equipment rack.
Install the cabinet in the rack before installing power and battery modules and before making
connections to the intended power source.

1. Remove the four screws (two on either side) securing the top cover

of the cabinet. Carefully lift the cover straight up and off to avoid
stressing the front panel display. Set the cover aside.

2. Remove the cabinet side covers by lifting the top edge. No other

hardware must be detached. Store or discard the side covers.

3. Carefully replace the cabinet top cover and secure with the four

screws removed in Step 1. Position the cover lip to fit behind the
front panel display.

of the cabinet (see Figure 2).

Insert the two offset tabs on the rear edge of the ear into the
matching tab slots on the cabinet side frame (see Figure 1). Pivot
the ear forward until it is flush against the cabinet side frame.
Secure each ear with three 1/4-20
