Installing the Rail Kit
CAUTION
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.
To install the UPS or battery cabinet in the equipment rack:
1. Measure the distance from the front to back of the mounting posts
in your rack.
2. Position the front and rear rails for the depth of your rack.
3. Loosely assemble the left and right rails using six #6-32 0.75”
screws, #6 flat-head washers, and #6-32 Keps nuts (see Figure 1).
Set aside the loosely assembled rails.

the ear forward until it is flush against the cabinet side frame.
Secure each ear with three 1/4-20 1/2”Phillips-head bolts; screw
the bolts into the metal clip nuts installed in Step 4.
