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.
Note: The illustrations may differ from your model.
4-Post Mounting
1The included plastic pegs Awill temporarily
support the empty rackmount shelves B
while you install 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.
2Secure the shelves Bto the mounting rails
permanently using the included screws and
cup washers Cas shown. Place the cup
washer between the screw and the rack so
that the screw enters the wider opening of
the cup washer first.
Place4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.
3 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

Quick Installation
1Insert a user-supplied power
cord (with country-specific
plug) into the UPS Systems
IEC inlet connection. Plug the
other end into your country-
specific wall outlet.*
NOTE! After you plug the UPS into a live
AC outlet, the UPS (in “Standby Mode”)
will automatically charge its batteries,
but will not supply power to its outlets
until it is turned ON.
*See the UPS systems nameplate for input
requirements. Additional input cords are also
available from Tripp Lite.
2Plug your equipment into
the UPS.*
AdditionalC13-to-C14interconnection
cord(s) are included to connect your
equipmenttotheUPS.
NOTE: Additional interconnection cords are
available from Tripp Lite.
* Your UPS is designed to support only electronic
equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total
VA ratings for all the equipment you connect
exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To find your
equipment’s VA ratings, look on their
nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps,
multiply the number of amps by 230 to
determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 230 = 230
VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded
the UPS’s outlets, see LOAD icon description in
LCDInterface section underBasicOperation.
3Turn the UPS ON.
Press and hold the button Afor one
second. The alarm will beep once briefly.
Note: UPS system will function properly upon
initial startup, however, maximum runtime and a
successful self-test will only be accessible after it
has been charged for 24 hours.

Caution! When an external battery pack is connected, make sure the AC load does not
exceed the nameplate rating. Select models are derated when an external battery pack
is connected. See UPS nameplate label for derating details.
WhenconnectingexternalbatteriestotheUPS,gototheTrippLitewebsiteat

Note:
1. The runtime and charge rate will automatically recalculate once the External Battery Pack Tool process is
complete.
2. If the setup will no longer include external batteries, the UPS can be configured to work without external
batteries via the LCD Screen. See ExternalBatterySettingsControl section under BasicOperation for
details.
3. If external battery packs are removed, the UPS must be reset to “NO EXTERNAL BATTERY” via the LCD
interface or the External Battery Configuration Program available on the Tripp Lite website. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the internal batteries due to over-charging.
