Emerson 000-VA User Manual

6. If available, apply a bead of grease 25mm (1") long at four (4) 

places inside the bottom, curved tracks of the front members 

as shown below right. The grease will allow the equipment to 

slide into the bracket assemblies more easily.

7. Insert the equipment, with inner members attached in 

Step 5, into the bracket assemblies by inserting the top and 

bottom edges of the inner members into the top and bottom curved tracks of the front members 

and sliding the equipment into the rack (see figure at right). Ends of inner members are tapered 

to allow the rear of the equipment to be angled upward before insertion, if space allows.
Then the rear, bottom edges of the inner members can be placed into the front edge of the bottom 

tracks and the front of the equipment can be tipped up so they are level to insert the top edges of 

the inner members before sliding the equipment into the rack (see figure below right). The 

equipment should move smoothly into the bracket assemblies. If it does not, recheck the 

alignment of the front and rear members from Steps 2 3.

8. Secure the front of the equipment to the rack mounting rails to prevent the equipment from 

sliding out of position. If securing holes are provided on the front of the equipment that align with 

the center holes on the return flange of the front members, you can use the four (4) extra M5 

screws provided in the kit to secure the equipment. Otherwise, the equipment should be secured 

to the front of the rack with four (4) customer-supplied fasteners.

Optional Liebert external battery cabinets may be connected to the UPS to provide additional battery 

run time. External battery cabinets are designed to be placed on one side of the UPS or stacked 

beneath the UPS. External battery cabinets can be used in either a rack-mount or tower 

configuration.

Lifting equipment into the rack may be a two-person 

job, depending on the weight of the equipment. 

Emerson® recommends taking the internal batteries 

out of the UPS during rack installation. This will 

make the UPS cabinet lighter and easier to handle. 

For the weight of the UPS, see Table 7; for the 

battery cabinet’s weight, see Table 10.
Factory-supplied rack handles are not intended to be 

used to lift the UPS. These are intended to be used to 

slide the UPS into and out of the rack.

The external battery cabinet(s) are heavy (see 12.0 - Specifications). Take proper 

precautions when lifting them.
