INSTALLATION SETUP

Eaton 9170

UPS (3–18 kVA) User's Guide S 164201393 Rev E www.eaton.com/powerquality

To install the caster cart:

1. Place the caster cart (shipped separately from the UPS cabinet)

under the cabinet before installing power and battery modules and

before making connections to the intended power source.

The cart requires no bolts or other hardware to fasten it to the UPS

cabinet. It is shaped to fit securely under the cabinet, ensuring

proper alignment after placing the cabinet on the cart.

2. Four foot pads under the cart keep the cart from rolling when it is in

its intended location. Turn each threaded foot to lower it to the

floor. When the foot is tight against the floor, turn the locknut on

the threaded foot up tight against the bottom of the cart to keep the

foot from rotating.

3. If leveling of the UPS is required, use the foot pads to raise a side

or corner before locking them with their locknuts.

Stabilizer Bracket Installation (Twelve-Slot Cabinet Only)

The 12-slot Eaton 9170+ UPS cabinet is shipped with two stabilizer

brackets. These brackets must be attached to the wall or the floor

behind the UPS cabinet. Under all module-loading conditions, they act as

a protective stop to prevent the cabinet from falling forward if it is

unintentionally pushed away from the wall.

Each bracket has holes that enable it to be attached by screws to either

the wall or the floor (or both) behind the intended cabinet installation

(see Figure 8). The stabilizer brackets are not attached to the cabinet

base itself.

To install the stabilizer brackets:

1. Select the location for the brackets, approximately 30–41 cm

(12–16”) apart, at the floor/wall intersection behind the intended

cabinet location.

2. Using the proper type of customer-supplied screws for the intended

mounting surface, attach each bracket as shown in Figure 8. All

screws must be driven into structural material such as wall studs.

3. Roll the UPS cabinet to its intended location. Position the rear

section of the cabinet base under the open ends of the stabilizer

brackets as far as the cabinet will go.
