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
4.2 Unpacking
Move shipping pallet to a firm, level surface.
1
Open box and remove the four foam corner protectors. Save all packing materials for later use unless you are certain they will not be required.
2
Packing materials are recyclable.
With one person on each side, carefully lift the enclosure out of the box and place on a firm, level surface.
3
Examine the enclosure for any damage or loose parts. Confirm all parts are present. If anything is missing or damaged, contact Tripp Lite for
4
assistance. Do not attempt to use the enclosure if it has been damaged.
Never extend more than one component from the enclosure at a time.
Warning: Never attempt to lift or install without adequate help.
4.3 Ground Connection
All parts of the enclosure are grounded to the frame of the enclosure. Near the rear of the
enclosure cabinet, use the grounding stud
wire to connect the enclosure frame directly to your facility's earth ground connection. Route the
ground wire either by removing the bottom rear cable access hole cover or running the wire through
the rear of the enclosure cabinet. Warning: Attach each enclosure to earth ground separately.
Do not use the enclosure without an earth ground connection.
You also need the following hardware:
• Appropriate hardware for wall mounting (not included)
Use at least two people to unpack the enclosure.
Do not try lifting the enclosure alone.
