CAUTION

Incorrect connection may cause system damage. 
Fully loaded battery weight is heavy. Install and  

support the RBE chassis appropriately.

Use the following procedure when mounting the RBE into 

a standard EIA 19" equipment rack.

1. Ensure any internal configuration (voltage selection, 

fault detection settings, etc) are complete before 

mounting.

2. Securely mount the included ears to the enclosure 

sides using the eight included 6-32 countersunk 

screws (four per ear).

3. Locate the rack-mounting holes in the ears of the 

enclosure. (Figure 1)

4. Slide the enclosure into an open 2U location in the 

rack

5. Center the enclosure in the rack and secure with the 

four 10-32 x 3/4" screws provided.

Mounting the RBE Rack Mount Battery Enclosure into a Standard 19" Rack

CAUTION 

Use rails or other appropriate support for heavy 

enclosures. Keep heavier components near the bottom of the 

rack to reduce the risk of toppling of a top-heavy rack.
