The Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Rear Support Rail Kit is a purpose-built accessory designed to stabilize and secure 1U ATS PDUs when mounted in 4-post racks and rack enclosures. Built to meet the demands of professional data centers, server rooms, and network closets, this rail kit provides a robust rear mounting solution that minimizes movement, protects power connections, and streamlines cable management. By giving you a solid rear anchor point, it helps maintain PDU alignment, reduces strain on connectors, and supports reliable, long-term operation of your critical power distribution infrastructure. Whether you are upgrading an existing installation or deploying a new SmartRack configuration, this rear support rail kit is an essential component for dependable performance.

• Secure rear mounting support for select 1U ATS PDUs in 4-post racks and rack enclosures, ensuring stable, vibration‑free operation even in high-density environments. The kit aligns with standard 19-inch rack rails and integrates with common 1U PDU mounting patterns, enabling a clean, professional installation that stands up to routine maintenance and equipment refreshes.
• Durable steel construction with a corrosion‑resistant black powder coating designed for data centers and network rooms. The rugged finish helps resist dents and scratches from frequent handling and equipment movement, preserving both the appearance and the integrity of your rack infrastructure while providing long-term reliability for mission-critical deployments.
• Improved cable management and airflow efficiency. By securing the PDU at the rear, the kit helps keep power cabling organized and out of the way of front-panel access, reducing cable wear and simplifying future rearrangements. The cleaner back of the rack also contributes to better thermal performance by minimizing tangles that can restrict airflow around power outlets and connectors.

how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Rear Support Rail Kit for Select 1U ATS PDUs Mounted in 4-Post Racks and Rack Enclosures

To install, begin by powering down the PDU and any connected devices to ensure safety and prevent accidental data loss. Prepare the rack by clearing any obstructions behind the rear posts where the rails will be attached. Align the rear support rails with the rack’s rear post holes, ensuring the rails are level and parallel to the enclosure frame. Attach the rails to the posts using the included mounting hardware, following the torque recommendations provided by the manufacturer to avoid over‑tightening. Once the rails are secured, lift or slide the 1U ATS PDU onto the rails so that its mounting holes align with the rails’ retention features. Secure the PDU to the rails according to the PDU model’s mounting requirements, then verify that the unit sits squarely and that there is ample clearance for connectors and cables. Reconnect power, and perform a functional test of the PDU and connected devices to confirm proper operation and reliable power delivery. Finally, organize cables behind the PDU to maintain clear access to front panels and ventilation paths, and document the installation for future maintenance or upgrades.
