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.
If using the optional casters, you can use the casters to move the enclosure for a short distance over a
level, smooth, stable surface by pushing it from the front or rear (not the side panels). Do not attempt to
roll the enclosure over long distances. The enclosure should be moved close to its installation location
inside its shipping container before it is unpacked.
Warning: Do not push or pull the enclosure at the
side panels or pull the enclosure toward you. Only experienced equipment operators should attempt
to lift the enclosure. Use appropriate equipment and follow all applicable safety procedures and
regulations.
You need several tools:
• Level
• Phillips-head Screwdriver
• Appropriate tools for wall mounting
You also need the following hardware:
• Appropriate hardware for wall mounting (not included)
Use at least two people to unpack the enclosure.
Never extend more than one component from the enclosure at a time.
Warning: Never attempt to lift or install without adequate help.
Do not try lifting the enclosure alone.
