7. Setting Up Factory Assembled Enclosures
STABILIZING AND GANGING THE PARAMOUNT ENCLOSURE
WARNING! All enclosure racks must be stabilized before installing any accessory or electronic device
into the rack. Failure to stabilize an enclosure before installing equipment may cause the enclosure to
tip over.
WARNING! Never extend a roll-out type electronic device or accessory from an enclosure rack that is
supported by casters, unless the enclosure has been stabilized as described below. Doing so may cause
the enclosure to tip over.
The Paramount enclosure must be positioned on a reasonably level, solid floor surface. After positioning the en-
closure in its intended position, use one or more of the following procedures to stabilize a Paramount enclosure.
1. For all enclosures, including enclosures with casters,
always
extend the enclosure’s four leveling feet until they
all firmly contact the floor. Use the leveling feet to level enclosures that are on an uneven floor. See figure
7-1
.
2. Additional stabilization may be gained by anchoring the enclosure(s) to the floor. See figure
7-2
.
3. Additional stabilization may be gained by fastening two or more adjacent enclosures together (known as gang-
ing). See figure
7-3
.
4. It is recommended that all single (non-ganged) enclosures that are not bolted to the floor be equipped with an
extendable Anti-tip Stabilizer Foot.
LEVELING THE ENCLOSURE
Each enclosure is equipped with four leveling feet. Use an adjustable wrench or needle-nose pliers to adjust the leveling feet.
Ensure that each foot is in firm contact with the floor. Using a spirit level, adjust the leveling feet as required to
level the enclosure. For enclosures that have casters, extend the leveling feet so that the casters are approximately
1/8” off the floor.
See Figure 7-1.
(Note: An optional/orderable wrench kit is available from Eaton that contains a 1 3/8" wrench
specifically designed for adjusting enclosure leveling feet. The wrench kit also comes with a 5/32" (4mm) Allen wrench
used when assembling “knock-down” style enclosure frames, P/N PMTWRENCH.)
