Installing Equipment

Warning: To prevent the enclosure from tipping over after equipment installation:

• Make sure you have secured the enclosure before installing equipment.

•Load the heaviest equipment first toward the bottom of the enclosure to prevent the enclosure from becoming top-heavy.

•Do not extend equipment on sliding rails until you have installed three or more pieces of similar-sized equipment or until you have installed the stabilizer plate or bolt-down brackets.

•Do not extend more than one piece of equipment on sliding rails at a time.

Before getting started, make sure you have adjusted the vertical mounting rails as needed. To install rack-mount equipment in the NetShelter AV Enclosure:

1.Review the equipment manufacturer’s installation instructions.

2.Locate the top and bottom U-space on the vertical mounting rails. Every third hole on the mounting rails is numbered to indicate the middle of a U-space. A U-space consists of one of these numbered holes and one hole directly above and below it, as shown.
