This chapter explains how to set up and install the Eaton 9170+

Equipment Clearances

All cabinet sizes require the following clearances to allow for servicing

and adequate ventilation:

S Sides: 15.2 cm (6”)

S Top and back: 30.5 cm (12”)

S Front: 91.5 cm (36”)

If flexible conduit connects the UPS to the service input and load

distribution panels, you may be able to gain access for servicing by

moving the UPS. If this is the case, you must still leave 30.5 cm (12”)

clearance at the back and 15.2 cm (6”) at the sides of the UPS for

ventilation.

NOTE Do not block the ventilation holes on each side and the back of the cabinet.

Nine- and 12-slot external battery cabinets may be installed with bases

tight against the UPS cabinet base and against each other. Six-slot

cabinets require 15.2 cm (6”) of separation.
