4. Enclosure Installation
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.
4.1 Preparation
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.
You need several tools:
• Level
• Phillips-head Screwdriver
• Appropriate tools for wall mounting
