Rack mounting
When rack mounting the UPS in a standard 19 in cabinet, a minimum cabinet depth of 900 mm
is required in order to provide an adequate exhaust airflow from the cooling fans on the rear of
the UPS enclosure.
An adjustable rack mounting kit that can be extended to fit a 900 mm cabinet is available.
A clearance of 800 mm (31 in) is required at the rear of the rack to permit pedestrian access to
cable-up the UPS; and 800 mm is also required at the front of the rack to allow sufficient room
to lift and install the enclosures onto the rack mounting rails or shelf.
Due to weight distribution considerations, the UPS and Battery enclosures must be kept level
while they are inserted into the rack to prevent them from tilting backwards.

UPS Enclosure tower footprint
Tower mounting
With regards to a Tower installation, there are two sets of clearance
criteria to consider; the first is to satisfy the ventilation requirements,
and the other concerns the installation cabling access.
For ventilation purposes, a minimum of 300 mm (12 in) free space
must be provided at the front and rear of the UPS to permit adequate
cooling air flow; however, a rear clearance of 500 mm (20 in) and side
clearance of 300 mm (12 in) is necessary to gain cabling access to the
rear of the UPS.
Depending on the installed location, a compromise can sometimes be
achieved by installing the enclosure with a sufficient cable length to
enable it to be pulled forward sufficiently for rear access.
If the UPS is installed in a location which is subject to regular
pedestrian passage, it is recommended that the front clearance is
increased to at least 1000 mm (40 in).
