Comment on Sourcing replacement rack ears for UPS?

Measure the screw holes and check them against other ears. They might be a fairly common pattern.
Also make sure that the ears will properly support the weight of the UPS. Lead-acid batteries are hefty. I can’t tell from a quick search how it’s supposed to be set up. It might need ears front and back. Or, you might find full rails.
If all else fails, get a rack shelf and just let it sit on it. Or get some scrap wood and/or steel and fabricate something.
This seems to be the best option. I’m going to measure the mounting options on the side and look for something that matches up.
No worries, it’s on a shelf right now, the ears are for when I move it to a spare set of slide rails. No weight should be on the ears.

This.
I found a picture with a single set of ears on the front. But the spec sheet says it weighs 50lb. Personally I’d put it on a shelf or universal rails, then use the ears to keep it in place.

Fifty pounds??? Yeah that’s not going to work with just front rack ears, even if the batteries were all the way to the front.
