Caution! Read All Instructions and Warnings Before Installation!
Warning: Rack enclosures can be extremely heavy. Do not attempt to unpack, move or install the enclosure without assistance. Use extreme caution when handling the enclosure and be sure to follow all handling and installation instructions. Do not attempt to install equipment without first stabilizing the enclosure.

Preparation

The enclosure must be installed in a structually sound area that is able to bear the weight of the enclosure, all the equipment that will be installed in the enclosure and any other enclosures and/or equipment that will be installed nearby. Before unpacking the enclosure, you should transport the shipping container closer to the final installation location to minimize the distance you will need to move the unit after the protective packaging has been removed. If you plan to store the enclosure for an extended period before installation, follow the instructions in the Storage and Service section.

You need several tools:

• Level
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Appropriate tools for wall mounting

You also need the following hardware:

• Appropriate hardware for wall mounting (not included)

Unpacking

1. Use at least two people to unpack the enclosure Move shipping pallet to a firm, level surface.
2. Open box and remove the four foam corner protectors. Save all packing materials for later use unless you are certain they will not be required. Packing materials are recyclable.
3. With one person on each side, carefully lift the enclosure out of the box and place on a firm, level surface.
4. Examine the enclosure for any damage or loose parts. Confirm all parts are present. If anything is missing or damaged, contact Tripp Lite for assistance. Do not attempt to use the enclosure if it has been damaged.

Never extend more than one component from the enclosure at a time.
Warning: Never attempt to lift or install without adequate help. Do not try lifting the enclosure alone.

Ground Connection

All parts of the enclosure are grounded to the frame of the enclosure. Near the rear of the enclosure cabinet, use the grounding stud and an M6 screw (included) and 8 AWG (3.264 mm) wire to connect the enclosure frame directly to your facility’s earth ground connection. Route the ground wire either by removing the bottom rear cable access hole cover or running the wire through the rear of the enclosure cabinet. Warning: Attach each enclosure to earth ground separately. Do not use the enclosure without an earth ground connection.

Enclosure Configuration

Before installation, be sure to plan the location and arrangement of components within the enclosure. Be sure all mounting rails are reversed or adjusted for depth, depending on your equipment configuration.

Door Locks

The front and back doors have locks that are accessible by the included keys.

Each side panel locks using an L-shaped lever on the inside of the enclosure.

1. To unlock and remove the side panels, lift the shorter leg of the “L” up and pull it away from the side panel. Pull the tab on the side panel and remove it from the enclosure.
2. To re-lock the side panels, secure it in the proper position, lift the shorter leg of the “L” up and push it toward the side panel, back into the hole that it was in initially. Once it is in place, push the shorter leg of the “L” down to lock it.
   Note: To lock and unlock the side panels, you will need to have access to the interior of the enclosure.

Cable Access and Management

Several cable access and management options are available, depending on your installation.
Cable Access Hole with Cover
The top of the cabinet has a rectangular opening for cable access and management. This opening can be opened or closed by unscrewing or screwing in the removable cable access panel.
Cable Pass-Throughs with Brush Strips
Four cable pass-through ports located on the top and bottom of the cabinets allow for easy, organized cable routing. See section 7.5 Cable Routing for more information.

Reversing the Enclosure

In order to accommodate various rack configurations, the enclosure can be reversed. To do so, simply turn the enclosure over so that the doors open in the opposite direction.

Mounting Rails

The enclosure comes with mounting rails that have both square and tapped holes for mounting rack equipment. To install equipment, use the included cage nuts and other hardware (See section 7.1 for installation of cage nuts.) Warning: Be sure to have the enclosure securely mounted to the wall, or in its final position on the floor, before mounting any equipment inside. Also be sure to have all the right adjustments on your rails before mounting equipment. (See below for Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth.)

Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth

Warning: Do not attempt to adjust rails while equipment is installed in the enclosure. Do not attempt to use rails without screws installed. (2 per rail.)
The 2 mounting rails are pre-installed to accommodate different mounting depths, depending on the model. Do not adjust the mounting rails unless your equipment requires a different mounting depth. The front and rear sets of rails can be adjusted independently in 3/4-inch (19 mm) increments.

1. Each rail is connected to the enclosure with 2 screws and 2 cage nuts: 1 set in the upper corner and another in the lower corner. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws that fasten the rails to the enclosure.
2. Move cage nuts to the desired depth and reinstall.
3. Slide the mounting rails to the desired depth and reattach them using the screws you removed in Step 1.

Wall Mounting the Enclosure

Warning: Do not attempt to mount the enclosure to the wall with equipment in the enclosure.
Note: Enclosure must be installed by a qualified technician. Before mounting, use a level and tape measure to position your mounting area precisely. Use appropriate fasteners (not included) to secure the enclosure to the wall. Use suitable mounting means when installing to cinder block, concrete, drywall or wood studs. Warning: The supporting surface must be able to safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware and components. For the actual weight, size and load capacity of the enclosure, view the product specifications and other support resources at www.tripplite.com/support.

1. Using user-supplied hardware, attach the mounting plate to a wall or other suitable mounting surface. Each mounting hole can accommodate an M8 or 5/16” bolt and the holes are spaced 16″ apart to accommodate standard stud placement as reflected in the diagram.
   Note: When mounting the mounting plate to the wall, be sure the three mounting hooks are facing outwards and away from the wall.
2. After the mounting plate has been securely attached to the mounting surface, hang the enclosure’s three mounting notches onto the three mounting hooks on the plate attached to the wall. The notches will fit over the hooks and the enclosure should slide down onto the hooks until secure.
   Note: Mounting notches exist on both the upper and lower rails of the back panel. This allows for mounting in the standard or reversed positions.
3. After the mounting plate has been secured and the enclosure hung properly, secure the enclosure to the mounting plate by installing the three supplied screws in the holes on the mounting hooks as shown.

Equipment Installation

Warning: Do not install equipment until you have stabilized the enclosure. Install heavier equipment first towards the bottom of the enclosure. Install equipment starting from the bottom of the enclosure and proceed toward the top of the enclosure – never the reverse. If using sliding equipment rails, be careful when extending the rails. Do not extend more than one set of sliding equipment rails at one time. Avoid extending sliding equipment rails near the top of the enclosure.
Note: The unit comes with two different kinds of screws for equipment installation, black and silver. Use the black mounting screws if you are securing your equipment to the square hole side of the mounting rail. Use the silver screws if you are securing your equipment to the tapped hole side of the mounting rail.
Note: The square holes in the middle of each rack unit are numbered and also include a small notch to aid identification. A single rack unit includes the space occupied by the numbered hole and the holes directly above and below.

Installing or Removing Cage Nuts

WARNING: The flanges of the cage nuts should engage the sides of the square opening in the rail, not the top and bottom. Follow the instructions in your equipment documentation to ensure proper installation of your equipment.

1. Locate the numbered square openings in the mounting rails where you plan to install your equipment. You will install cage nuts (included) into the square openings in order to provide an attachment point for the mounting screws (included).
   Note: Consult your equipment documentation to determine how many cage nuts will be required and where they will need to be installed.
2. From the inside of the mounting rail, insert one of the flanges of the cage nut through the square opening. Press it against the side of the square opening. Each flange should engage one side of the square opening, not the top or bottom.
3. Compress the cage nut at the sides slightly to allow the remaining flange to fit through the square opening. When the cage nut is properly installed, both flanges will protrude through the square opening and will be visible on the outer surface of the mounting rail. Repeat steps 1-3 until all required cage nuts are installed.

To Remove Cage Nuts, Reverse Steps 1-3
Note: You may wish to use a cage nut tool (user-supplied) to aid cage nut installation and removal.

Alternate Mounting: Tapped Hole Mounting Rail

Warning: Do not attempt to adjust rails while equipment is installed in the enclosure. Do not attempt to use rails without screws installed. (2 per rail.)
The 2 mounting rails are pre-installed for securing equipment using the square hole side of the mounting rail. To switch to the tapped hole side of the mounting rail, follow the steps below:

1. Each rail is connected to the enclosure with 2 screws: 1 in the upper corner and another in the lower corner. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws that fasten the rails to the enclosure.
2. Switch the rail locations. Ensure the tapped hole side of each rail is facing the front door.
3. Reattach the mounting rails.

Horizontal Rack-Mount Installation

Once you have determined the equipment depth and installation method, use the included silver mounting screws and cup washers to secure your equipment to the rack rail. Place the cup washers between the screws and the equipment mounting brackets.
Note: Your equipment may also include mounting hardware. Read the mounting instructions that came with your equipment before installing your equipment.

Vertical Rack-Mount Installation

A set of vertical rack mount brackets are located on the left and right sides of the cabinet. Each bracket set can accommodate 2U of equipment. To install equipment into the vertical rack-mount brackets, follow the installing cage nuts instructions in section 7.1. Then use the included black mounting screws and cup washers to secure your equipment to the mounting brackets.
Note: Your equipment may also include mounting hardware. Read the mounting instructions that came with your equipment before installing your equipment.

Cable Routing

Two front vertical cable managers and two cable pass-through ports conveniently located on the top and bottom of the cabinets allow for easy, organized cable routing. Cable tie cut outs can be used to secure cable bundles to the cabinet.

TRIPP LITE SmartPro 2U Rackmount

Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

• Use caution when lifting the UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rackmount UPS systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install the UPS indoors, in an area free from excess moisture, heat, dust, conductive contaminants, and direct sunlight.
• The UPS operating temperature is 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). For optimum battery performance, the ambient temperature should be maintained between 68° and 77°F (20° and 25°C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents or fan openings.
• When mounting the UPS system in tower orientation, make sure the LCD Screen panel is at the top of the UPS, not at the bottom.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the unit’s internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered under warranty.
• The UPS must be returned to Tripp Lite for battery replacement. Visit www.tripplite.com/support and click the product returns link to request a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number (an RMA number is required for servce). Once the product request information is completed, an assigned RMA number and shipping instructions will be sent to your email account. See Storage and Service for more information.

UPS Connection Warnings

• The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS system’s plug in a way that would eliminate its connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS system’s connection to ground.
• This UPS is designed to be used on a power distribution system in accordance with the plug configuration. The basic circuit operation is as follows:

• Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void the warranty.
• If connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
• Do not connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of the UPS. This might damage the UPS and may affect the surge protector and UPS warranties.

Battery Warnings

• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. At the end of the UPS unit’s life, follow best practice by discharging the battery prior to disposal. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is operating on battery power.
• Do not operate the UPS without batteries.

Fan Replacement Warning

The cooling fan installed in the UPS can be replaced by qualified service personnel. Always unplug and turn off the UPS before performing fan replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. Refer to the Fan Replacement section for step-by-step instructions.

Quick Installation

The UPS batteries must be fully charged (minimum 24 hours) before plugging equipment into the unit.

Plug the UPS into an outlet on a dedicated circuit.

NOTE! after plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS (in “Standby” mode) will automatically charge its batteries, but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON.

Plug the equipment into the UPS.*

The UPS is designed to support only electronic equipment. If the total VA rating for all connected equipment exceeds the UPS output capacity, the UPS will indicate an overload alert. To find the equipment’s VA rating, look on its nameplate. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). To confirm the UPS outlets are not overloaded, see the LOAD icon description in the LCD Interface section under Basic Operation.

Turn the UPS ON.

Press and hold the button A for one second. The alarm will beep once briefly.

Mounting (Rack)

Mount the UPS in either a 2-post or 4-post rack or rack enclosure. The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware and procedures are not suitable for the application, contact the manufacturer of the rack or rack enclosure. The procedures described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications.

2-Post Mounting
2-post mounting requires a Tripp Lite 2-Post Rackmount Installation Kit (model: 2POSTRMKITWM, sold separately).

Post Mounting

The included plastic pegs A will temporarily support the empty rackmount shelves B while the permanent hardware is installed. Insert a peg near the center of the front and rear bracket of each shelf as shown. (Each front bracket has 6 holes and each rear bracket has 3 holes.) The pegs will snap into place.
After installing the pegs, expand each shelf to match the depth of the rack rails. The pegs will fit through the square holes in the rack rails to support the shelves. Refer to the rack unit labels to confirm that the shelves are level in all directions.
Note: The support ledge of each shelf must face inward.

Secure the shelves B to the mounting rails permanently using the included screws and cup washers C as shown. Place the cup washer between the screw and the rack so that the screw enters the wider opening of the cup washer first. Place 4 screws total at the front and 4 screws total at the back. Tighten all screws before proceeding.
Warning: Do not attempt to install the UPS until the required screws are inserted and tightened. The plastic pegs will not support the weight of the equipment.

Attach the UPS mounting brackets to the forward mounting holes of the cabinet using the hardware included with the UPS. The mounting bracket “ears” should face forward. (Some equipment may have pre-installed or integrated mounting brackets.)

With the aid of an assistant (if necessary), lift the UPS and slide it into the shelves. Attach the equipment mounting brackets to the forward mounting rails with user-supplied screws and washers D. Tighten all screws securely.

Mounting (Tower)

Warning: When mounting the UPS system in a tower orientation, make sure the LCD Screen panel is at the top of the UPS, not at the bottom.
Note: To mount the UPS in an upright (tower) position, 2-9USTAND is required (sold separately).
Rotate the LCD Screen panel for easy viewing while the UPS is tower mounted. Insert a small screwdriver or other tool in the slots on either side of the panel. Pop the panel out, rotate it and pop the panel back in place.

Optional Installation

These connections are optional. The UPS will function properly without these connections.
USB and RS-232 Serial Communications
Use the included USB cable (see 1A ) or DB9 serial cable (see 1B ) to connect the communication port on the computer to the communication port of the UPS. Install the appropriate Tripp Lite PowerAlert® Software to the computer’s operating system.

EPO Port Connection
This optional feature is only for those applications which require connection to a facility’s Emergency Power Off (EPO) circuit. When the UPS is connected to this circuit, it enables emergency shutdown of the UPS inverter.
Using the cable provided, connect the EPO port of the UPS (see 2A ) to a user-supplied normally closed or normally open switch according to the circuit diagram (see 2B ). The EPO port is not a phone line surge protector; do not connect a phone line to this port.

UPS Operating Modes

Standby Mode

(Charger: ON / AC Output: OFF / Battery Backup: NOT AVAILABLE)
When first connected to a live power source, the UPS will automatically energize into STANDBY MODE. In this mode, the UPS charger will function as necessary to maintain full battery charge, but there will be no AC output and no battery backup for connected equipment in the event of a power failure. To turn the UPS on into LINE POWER MODE, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for one second until a beep is heard, and release.

Line Power Mode

(Charger: ON / AC Output: ON / Battery Backup: AVAILABLE)
The standard protected UPS operating mode for the UPS is LINE POWER MODE. In this mode, the UPS provides voltage-regulated output sourced directly from the AC mains line power input. UPS output power is conditioned with automatic voltage regulation in LINE POWER MODE to correct any voltage fluctuations present on the mains line power input. When operating in LINE POWER MODE, the UPS will automatically switch to BATTERY MODE during power failures or severe voltage fluctuations to maintain connected equipment operation from battery reserves.

Battery Mode

(Charger: OFF / AC Output: ON / Battery Backup: ON)
BATTERY MODE is the automatic UPS response to mains AC power failures and severe voltage fluctuations occurring when the UPS is operating in LINE POWER MODE. In BATTERY MODE, the UPS is providing battery-derived AC output to connected equipment. When running in BATTERY MODE, the UPS will automatically return to LINE POWER MODE when acceptable mains AC input is restored to the UPS.

Basic Operation

LCD Interface

Note: This LCD image is shown with all icons illuminated. Under normal conditions, only select icons will be lit.

3-Digit Display: This display is generally used to show values for a given “Display” or “Control” screen.

“ON/OFF” Button

To turn the UPS ON: After plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS (in ”Standby” mode) will automatically charge its batteries, but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON. With the UPS plugged into a live AC wall outlet, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for one second.* The UPS will beep once to indicate ON status. Release the button.
To turn the UPS OFF: With the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for 2.5 seconds.* The UPS will beep once to indicate OFF status. Then unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. The UPS will be completely OFF.

Power Sensitivity

This setting is normally set to 100%, which enables the UPS to protect against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing pure sine wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In some areas with poor utility power or where the UPS input power comes from a backup generator, frequent brownouts and/or chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too often, draining its battery reserves. Reduce how often your UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion or brownouts by experimenting with different settings. As the setting is reduced, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC waveform.
Note: When experimenting with different settings, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS output may be evaluated without disrupting critical operations. The experiment should last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are encountered.

Tap the button repeatedly to advance to Sensitivity display, as shown on the previous page.
Press the button to advance through the options. The last option displayed before navigating away from this menu option will be the selected setting.

Factory Mode Reset

The LCD settings can be restored to Factory Mode by holding the MODE and ENTER/MUTE buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds while in any display mode.
CAUTION: This action cannot be undone.

Other UPS Features (Rear Panel)

AC Outlets: The UPS includes NEMA 5-15R and NEMA 5-20R outlets. These outlets provide the connected equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power during blackouts and brownouts. The UPS protects equipment connected to these outlets against damaging surges and line noise. If there is an active serial or USB connection to the UPS, it is possible to remote reboot connected equipment by turning the outlets OFF and ON using Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software. The outlets are divided into one or more load banks (labelled “LOAD 1,” etc.) which may be remotely switched OFF and ON without interrupting power to equipment connected to the other outlets. Outlets labeled “UNSWITCHED” may not be remotely switched off.

Communications Ports (USB or RS-232): These ports connect the UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software and included cables to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. Also use Power Alert Software to monitor a wide variety of AC line power and UPS operating conditions. Consult the PowerAlert Software manual or contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more information. See USB and RS-232 Serial Communications in the Optional Installation section for installation instructions.

EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port: The UPS features an EPO port that may be used to connect the UPS to a contact closure switch to enable emergency inverter shutdown. See Optional Installation section for installation instructions

Accessory Slot: Remove the small cover panel from this slot to install optional accessories to remotely monitor and control the UPS. Refer to the accessory’s manual for installation instructions. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support at

Storage and Service

Storage

Before storing the UPS, turn it completely OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for two seconds (an alarm will beep once briefly after the interval has passed); then, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. If storing the UPS for an extended period of time, recharge the UPS batteries once every three months: plug the UPS into a wall outlet; allow it to charge for 12 hours; and then unplug it and place it back in storage. If UPS batteries are discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
