Checking the Accessory Kit
Eaton Tripp Lite SmartOnline Series User Guide 614-40206—Rev 01 7
NOTE 1 The order of a tower installation, from left to right, is the SmartOnline Transformer,
SmartOnline EBM (If applicable), and the SmartOnline 5000 / 6000 UPS.
NOTE 2 Eaton recommends a minimum of 150 mm (5.9") of free space behind the UPS rear
panel.
NOTE 3 Joining brackets are required to stabilize the upright cabinets in installations with two or
more cabinets. A joining bracket is provided in the transformer accessory box in the
shipping carton.
NOTE 4 If you are adding a cabinet to an existing tower configuration, only add a single joining
bracket between the transformer and the next cabinet in the configuration.
To set up a tower configuration:
1. Do this only if the UPS is already installed and operating: Shut down the UPS before installing the
SmartOnline Transformer. Refer to shutdown instructions in the appropriate SmartOnline UPS user's
guide for your system configuration.
2. Position the cabinet upright. Turn the Eaton logo to align with the top of the cabinet. Ensure additional
cabinets are upright.
3. Group the cabinets in the correct order.
4. Locate the joining bracket in the rail kit box.
5. Align each joining bracket with the adjacent cabinet screw holes and secure with the supplied screws.
