WARNING: The 1000 Series rack-mountable UPS models weigh approximately
58 lb (26 kg). Make sure that the rack containing the UPS is stable. The
following conditions must be met:
■ The leveling feet are extended to the floor.
■ The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
■ The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack, if it is a single rack
installation.

surface.
