Appendix B: Types of Racks and Mounting Hardware

This appendix describes the hardware required for the different types of racks and describes the type of racks that may be

used in your industry. All APC rack mount units are shipped ready for 19-inch wide EIA/IEC rack cabinets. Some rack

mount UPSs ship with rails included, otherwise, the rails are available as an option. Refer to the instructions included with

the rails when mounting the UPS.

Racks

There are different types of racks:

Equipment Rack - usually an open rack with threaded mounting holes or no threaded holes

APC Netshelter, IBM (Vero, others) - enclosed rack with square holes

Dell, Compaq (Rittal) - enclosed rack with square holes

HP Rack - enclosed rack with round holes

These racks differ in the methods required for mounting equipment. They may have threaded

holes (hardware not included), round holes (require clip nuts), or square holes (require cage nuts).

See page 3 for examples of clip and cage nuts.

Telecomm Rack - open rack with two poles / four poles and threaded round holes (hardware not

supplied by APC).

Notes:

Remove batteries to reduce UPS weight.

For larger, heavier units, installation requires two people.

Check the type of rack you have against the hardware required for mounting in the table below.
