Rack Mounting Guide

NOTE: The wall mounting kit is Wall Mounting an Appliance

optional and is not included with
the appliance; it must be
purchased separately. For details
on how to purchase the wall
mounting kit, contact your Vertiv
representative.

Overview
Your optional wall mounting bracket
kit contains two brackets. Either
may be used as a left or right
bracket. In addition, the brackets
may be attached with the slots
facing up or down. Mount the
brackets so that the front face of
the appliance is facing sideways and
not toward the floor or ceiling.
1. Mounting the brackets
to a plywood wall
Using the slots on the bracket or
the supplied template as a guide,
mark the holes on the wall where
the brackets are to be fastened.
A minimum of two holes for each
bracket should be marked. Use a
3/16-inch drill bit to drill guide
holes at the marked positions.
Using 1/4 inch by 1 inch hex lag
screws (not included with the
wall mounting kit), secure each
bracket to the plywood wall,
using at least two screws for
each bracket.
2. Attaching the appliance
to the brackets
Remove the two middle truss-
head screws from each side of
the appliance. It is important to
remove only the middle two
screws allowing the cover of the
appliance to stay secured. Align
the holes in the appliance with
the holes in the mounted
brackets, and using the thumb
screws provided with the wall-
mounting kit, secure the
appliance to the brackets with
the slots facing up or down, as
illustrated.
