Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING

Do not apply loads that exceed the capacity of the enclosure. The 

stated capacities DO NOT include the weight of the enclosure itself. 

The applied load includes any items installed into the enclosure after 

receipt of the enclosure from the carrier, including (but not limited 

to) electronic equipment, power distribution units, and cabling. The 

applied load also includes any item(s) mounted to the outside of the 

enclosure or rested on the top of the enclosure, where the enclosure 

bears the weight of the items.
It is recommended that you load your heaviest electronic equipment 

at the bottom of the enclosure. This will ensure that the load’s center 

of gravity (tipping point) is as low as possible. 

Failure to follow this 

warning could result in the possibility of the enclosure tipping, 

causing serious injury or property damage.

 

Installation and assembly must be performed by qualified personnel. 
Ensure that the floor / wall structure is able to withstand the weight 

of the enclosure while fully loaded. 
Ensure the enclosure is plumb and level for proper operation. 
Route all power cords and cabling away from any possible pinch points 

or moving parts.

Always fully mount and secure enclosure or rack system before 

loading equipment.
Evenly distribute all mounted loads and equipment to ensure stability 

within the enclosure system, placing heavier loads towards the bottom 

of the enclosure to avoid unstable conditions.
To reduce risk of personal injury and product damage, always 

ensure a sufficient amount of personnel are present when loading, 

unloading or moving the enclosure or rack system. 
Suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surface only.
Assembly and installation of certain accessories takes place on top 

of an enclosure, at an approximate height of 8-11 feet. If step ladders 

are used during installation, installers MUST maintain three points of 

contact with the ladder at all times, DO NOT climb to a point higher 

than six feet from the ground, unless tethered to a safety harness, 

and NEVER stand on the top two steps of a step ladder, regardless 

of the ladder’s overall height. 

Failure to adhere to these warnings may result  

in serious injury or property damage.

Before installing Eaton’s RS Enclosure, it is recommended that you do the following:
