I’ve got an HPE R1500 G3 UPS that I was given and refurbed to be useable. Now that it’s in the rack and running, I want to fix things up a bit more.
Unfortunately the ears were not given with the UPS and I’d like to replace them. However everything I’m finding is listed as intended for switches/routers. Can anyone point me in a good direction, other than just watching eBay, where I might be able to get some replacement ears?
TIA
Edit: The ears WONT be bearing any weight, it’s just to keep it in place so it stays in until I want it out. I know it’s too heavy for ears alone.
Yeah, thanks for the clarification. I know I infodumped a bit, but when it comes to safety I tend to like to make sure to mention the worst case scenarios.
If you will have additional support and a shelf below it, it might be ok to use, but yeah without a drill to make some new holes in some ears meant for another device it’s hard to say if they’d be compatible. Hole patters like that which attach on the device as opposed to the rack or standard components can really be any pattern. They have to account for both the structural integrity of the case of the device as well as what is underneath and thus would be exposed by the holes.
