Caution! Read All Instructions and Warnings Before Installation!
Warning: Rack enclosures can be extremely heavy. Do not attempt to unpack, move or install the enclosure without assistance. Use
extreme caution when handling the enclosure and be sure to follow all handling and installation instructions. Do not attempt to install
equipment without first stabilizing the enclosure.
The enclosure must be installed in a structually sound area that is able to bear the weight of the enclosure, all the equipment that will be installed in the
enclosure and any other enclosures and/or equipment that will be installed nearby. Before unpacking the enclosure, you should transport the shipping
container closer to the final installation location to minimize the distance you will need to move the unit after the protective packaging has been
removed. If you plan to store the enclosure for an extended period before installation, follow the instructions in the
Storage and Service
section.
All parts of the enclosure are grounded to the frame of the enclosure. Connect one of the
two quick-disconnect grounding wires to the hole provided on the inside of either of the
side doors and connect the other quick-disconnect grounding wire to any of the enclosure
studs. Then connect your facility’s earth ground connection to the grounding stud not used
by door connections with an 8 AWG (3.264 mm) wire.
Warning: Attach each enclosure to earth ground separately. Do not use the
enclosure without an earth ground connection.
You will need these tools:
• Level
• Phillips-Head Screwdriver
4.2 Leveling the Enclosure
WARNING: Level the enclosure before attempting to install equipment. Install the enclosure in a
structurally sound area with a vertically-level wall that is able to bear the weight of the
enclosure, all equipment that will be installed in the enclosure and any other enclosures and/or
equipment that will be installed nearby.
