Cabinet and Environmental Specifications

Caution – 

Make sure that all devices and cables that will be removed and 

reinstalled in the cabinet are identified in such a way as to ensure that they go back 
in the same order that they were originally in (so the host and controllers will 
communicate to the same devices as before). 

Seismic Anchorage

Most cabinets provide securing points on both the bottom and top of the cabinet to 
allow for earthquake anchorage and protection. It is the customer’s responsibility to 
secure the provided cabinet against earthquakes. See 

FIGURE 2-3

.

FIGURE 2-3 

Earthquake Securing Hardware 

The figure above is an example of earthquake anchorage. Refer to the cabinet 
manufacturer’s instructions or a structural engineering firm that evaluates seismic 
anchorage for proper installation.

Cabinet Markings and Tray Placement 

The next two sections discuss NEMA and RETMA rails. These vertical rails usually 
have markings on them to indication the vertical space or height from the bottom of 
the cabinet. These markings indicate where to install the Array trays. For example, 
the 6540 controller tray (4U) is typically placed in the fourth tray slot. This position 
goes from the 9th U marking to the 13th U marking, and may use holes 28 through 
39 to secure the mounting rail and controller tray to the cabinet. Three U is used for 
each expansion tray. This provides for three expansion tray slots below the controller 
tray and eight expansion tray slots above the controller tray. The order for expansion 
tray placement is: 0U, 13U, 22U, 31U, 3U, 16U, 25U, 34U, 6U, 19U, and 28U.
