Installing the support rails for the uninterruptible power supply
You must install the support rails in the rack before installing the uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) 5115 or the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 5125.
Complete the following prerequisites before installing the support rails:
v
Refer to the customer’s hardware location table to determine where in the rack
the uninterruptible power supplies are to be installed.
v Discard the two handles and their associated nuts that are shipped with the
support rails for the uninterruptible power supply.
v At the back of the rack, observe the Electrical Industries Association (EIA)
positions, and determine where you are going to install the uninterruptible power
supply (see Figure 10 on page 36). An uninterruptible power supply must always
be installed into the lowest available position in the rack. The only device that
can be below a uninterruptible power supply is another uninterruptible power
supply.
Note: The bottom of the flange of the support rail must align with the EIA mark
on the rack.
