Enclosure Installation
Leveling
WARNING: Level the enclosure before attempting to install equipment. The casters are not designed to provide long-term support for the enclosure. Use the
levelers to provide long-term support. Install the enclosure in a structurally sound area with a level floor 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.
1
After the enclosure has been moved to the installation location, use a carpenter's level to check the slope of
the floor. If the floor slopes more than 1%, choose an alternate installation site.
2
Use an 18 mm open-end wrench to lower each leveler
A
until it reaches the floor. (There are 4 levelers,
2 at the front and 2 at the rear.) Make sure each leveler contacts the floor solidly. Note: Lower a leveler by
turning it clockwise; raise a leveler by turning it counter-clockwise.
3
After lowering each leveler, use the carpenter's level to confirm that the enclosure is level in all directions.
Adjust the levelers as required until the enclosure is level.

(Optional) If you wish to provide an additional measure of stability, you can attach the 2 shipping brackets,
using the hardware that attached the enclosure to the shipping pallet. Use a 13 mm open-end wrench to
connect the brackets to the outer
A
or inner
B
bracket mounting points of the enclosure. Attach the
brackets to secure mounting points in the floor using user-supplied hardware or Tripp Lite's SmartRack
Bolt-Down Kit (Part # SR331).
Ground Connection
All the parts of the enclosure are grounded to the frame of the enclosure. Use the enclosure's front or rear
threaded grounding point
A
and an M6 screw (included) to connect the frame of the enclosure directly to your
facility's earth ground connection with an 8 AWG (3.264 mm) wire. Route the ground wire under the enclosure's
frame to ensure unhindered door operation. WARNING: Attach each enclosure to earth ground separately.
Do not use the enclosure without an earth ground connection.
