OSITIONING THE
UPS
When locating tower and rack-mount models consider the following guidelines:
TOWER
•
Avoid temperature and humidity extremes. To maximize the lifetime of
the batteries, an ambient temperature of 59°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C) is
recommended.
•
Provide shelter from the elements (especially moisture).
•
make sure ventilation and space requirements are met. There should
be two inches (5 cm) of clearance at both sides and on top of the UPS.
Four inches (10 cm) of clearance is needed at the rear of the UPS for
ventilation.
•
Maintain clearance at the front of the UPS for user operations.
•
Install the external battery pack next to the UPS.
RACK-MOUNT
•
The rack-mount UPS fits into a standard equipment rack (mounting
hardware is not provided).
•
To maximize the life of the UPS internal batteries, avoid temperature
and humidity extremes.
•
The ambient temperature should be kept around 59°F to 77°F
(15°C to 25°C).

6.0 KVA units come with a stabilizing bracket used to secure the unit once it is
