Tripp Lite BP240V7RT3U External Battery Pack BP240V7RT3U User Manual

3

Mount your rackmount battery pack in either a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure (see next
page for 2-post mounting). The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures
before mounting. If hardware and procedures 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.

All rackmount battery packs include hardware required to mount in a 4-post rack. Select models
include an adjustable rackmount shelf kit to provide additional support. If your rackmount battery
pack model does not include an adjustable rackmount shelf kit, skip steps 1 and 2.

Connect the two segments of each shelf 

using

the included screws and nuts 

. Leave the

screws slightly loose so that the shelves can be
adjusted in the next step. 

Adjust each shelf to fit your rack, then mount
them in the lowest available space of your rack with
the screws, nuts and washers provided 

. Note that

the support ledges should face inward. Tighten
the screws that connect the shelf segments 

.

Attach mounting ears 

to the front mounting

holes of your equipment 

using the screws pro-

vided

. The ears should face forward.

Using an assistant if necessary, lift your equipment
and slide it onto the mounting shelves. Attach your
equipment to the rack by using the appropriate
hardware 

through its mounting ears and into

the rack rails.
