2. Safety instructions
2.1 Intended use
The TX Colo is an enclosure designed to accommodate 19˝ hardware in
accordance with the industry standard EIA-310; this includes primarily
network and Internet components and the infrastructure required for
operation, e.g. power supplies and socket strips.
Please only use approved terminal equipment with connectors and
equipment intended for this type of installation which is suitable for
installation and operation by untrained staff .
The TX Colo is only intended for stationary use. Castors included with
the supply or available as accessories are only suitable for moving empty
or pre-installed racks on fl at surfaces without any obstacles on site up to
the point of installation.
The TX Colo is designed for baying to other TX Colo racks with an identi-
cal enclosure height and depth.
The TX Colo is suitable for indoor installation and off ers no particular
resistance to splashed water or dust.
Please observe the information in the technical specifi cations and the
rating plate of the respective product.
Restrictions to admissible use:
◾ Not to be used as an enclosure which needs to off er signifi cant
protection against access to live parts and which serves as an earthed
enclosure for Class 1 devices.
Rittal accessories may be used to upgrade the TX Colo to meet more
stringent requirements. In this regard, the specifi cations for the
accessories must be observed.

2.3 Safety instructions
These installation and operating instructions contain important informa-
tion which must be followed when installing and modifying the enclo-
sure. In the following chapters, a warning symbol will alert you to relevant
safety instructions and other important information (explanation of safety
symbols, see page 29 – 36).
◾ In the basic confi guration, not all electrically conductive parts are
conductively connected to one another.
◾ Preinstalled TX Colo on castors may only be moved if the centre of
gravity of the installation is below the 13th height unit from the bottom.
The fi rst height unit in the TX Colo is at the bottom of the rack. This
requirement should be taken into account when populating the
TX Colo with installed castors.

◾ Note: Where there is an asymmetrical distribution of weight, the
stability of the TX Colo is at risk. For example, you should never open
the doors to the same side as the divider panel without fi rst securing
the TX Colo to the fl oor.
◾ Caution when using telescopic slides:
The TX Colo must be secured to the fl oor or bayed to other TX Colo
racks before extending devices on telescopic slides.
Only one device at a time may be in the set forward position. If for
some reason more than one device is extended at the same time, the
stability of the TX Colo may be at risk.
◾ Caution: Never stand on the roof plate!
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious injury, damage to
property or, in a worst case scenario, even death.
