Yes, however, the LCD panel will be easier to use when the UPS is in its standard orientation. If you choose to position the UPS unit in a non-standard position, make sure the fan on the back and at least one of the side vents are left unobstructed so the UPS has plenty of airflow.
Can the Medical UPS be managed remotely? | All
No. A direct USB or serial connection is required to manage this UPS unit with PowerPanel Business software.
Can this Medical UPS be used with non-medical equipment? | All

Can this Medical UPS be used with life-support equipment? | All
No. Our medical-grade UPS units are designed and certified to meet UL 60601-1 requirements for use within patient care vicinities for non-critical care equipment. They have not been designed or certified for use with life support or other critical care equipment and should not be used for that purpose.
