1. SAFETY WARNINGS

  

 

This manual contains important instructions that you should follow during installation 
and maintenance of the RE Series Enclosure. Please read all instructions before op-
erating the equipment and save this manual for future reference. 

 

1. 

WARNING! RE Series enclosure components can be very heavy. It is 
recommended that several people take part in the unpacking process. When 
lifting heavy components or electronic equipment, ensure that all safety 
regulations are observed.   

2. 

WARNING! The RE Series enclosure is designed to support a Static Load of 800kg or a 
Dynamic Combined Load of 200kg. Dynamic Combined Load is the combined weight of 
the rack and installed equipment. The fitted casters are for transit only and are not 
intended to be used to move the rack when it is configured with equipment where the 
weight of the rack and equipment total over 200kg. The levelling feet (refer to Section 5 
of this manual) must be in contact with the floor and supporting the rack before the rack 
is configured with equipment.

 

3. 

WARNING! The enclosure must be stabilized before installing any roll-out type 
accessory, component or electronic device. Failure to stabilize prior to installing 
equipment may cause the enclosure to tip over. 

4. 

WARNING! First, load the heaviest electronic devices and accessories into the 
bottom of the enclosure to prevent the enclosure from becoming top-heavy. 

5. 

WARNING! Never extend more than one roll-out type electronic device or 
accessory from a stabilized enclosure at a time. Do not sit, stand, or climb on any 
extended roll-out type electronic device or accessory. Never extend a roll-out 
type electronic device or accessory component from an enclosure rack that is 
supported by casters. Doing so may cause a stabilized enclosure rack to tip over. 

6. 

WARNING! Ensure that the floor has a structural load capacity that will safety 
bear the weight of the RE series Enclosure and installed components. 

7. 

WARNING! There must be an uninterruptable safety earth ground from the main 
power source to the Power Distribution Unit’s (PDU) power cord set. Whenever it 
is likely that ground has been impaired, disconnect the PDU’s power cord until 
the ground has been restored. 

8. 

WARNING! High leakage current may be present. Grounding connection 
essential before connecting supply. 

9. 

WARNING! Rack is intended to be used with equipment complying with IEC 
60950. Use with non-compliant equipment may result in electrical hazard.  

10.  WARNING! A grounding kit is supplied with RE Series enclosures. The installer 

is responsible for grounding the enclosure to the building electrical system. 
Additional equipment can be electronically bonded to the rack's frame using 
additional grounding points
