Configuration
Before installing the enclosure, plan the location and space needed to install equipment, and plan the ergonomics of keyboards and video monitors. Improper airflow could damage installed components.
Blanking panels
Use blanking panels to close up large open spaces in the CX but not to completely seal the rack. The NetShelter CX works best when air can travel not just through the equipment vents, but also above and below any equipment that generates thermal energy.
APC offers modular, plastic Airflow Management Blanking Panels that snap into place without tools (AR8136BLK).
Front doors and Side Panels
The front doors and side panels may be opened or removed to access the interior. Locking side panels offer additional security and assist with proper airflow within the enclosure. The locking side panel does not ship locked. To avoid personal injury or damage to the enclosure, one person should support the door or side panel while another person removes the door or side panel from its frame.
CAUTION
WEIGHT AND LEVERAGE HAZARD
Doors and side panels are heavy. Removal or installation requires two people.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in moderate personal injury.
Hinge Operation
Installation . Slide the hinge on the door or side panel into the front of the mounting plate attached to the inside of the enclosure.
Using finger pressure, press the hinge onto the mounting plate. The latch will secure with an audible click.
