Hi everyone,
Just a logistics question.
I'm planning to replace our equipment sometime around 2010 with new blade servers. To adequately support them, I used the APC configurator which suggested a Symmetra LX 16kVA with an additional "Extended Run RM w/3 SYBT5" battery.
Now, the last time I installed our UPS solution, I had a tough time by myself installing the three SmartUPS 2200 w/ the extra RM batteries. With those, I just used a little muscle and slid them into their rackmounts.
The Symmetra LX 16kVA shows a net weight of 631 pounds!!
Even with two people I don't think we would have the muscle to slide that into our Dell rack.
Can anyone share any experience with installing one of these things?

. I bought the APC startup service. It's pricy, but with the weight, high amperage, and accessories, even the vendors I got quotes from, didn't want to take on the possible liability. So I'm leaving mine to the experts at APC.
