Enclosure Installation
Caution! Read All Instructions and Warnings Before Installation!
WARNING: The rack enclosure is extremely heavy. Do not attempt to unpack, move or install the enclosure without assistance. Until it has
been properly installed and stabilized, the enclosure is prone to tipping and could cause property damage and/or personal injury. 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.
Preparation
The enclosure must be installed in a structurally sound area with a level floor 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 (user-supplied):
• 13 mm Open-end Wrench
• 18 mm Open-end Wrench
• Utility Blade
• Carpenter's Level
• Phillips-head Screwdriver
• 5/32" Allen Wrench
Unpacking
NOTE: If the enclosure is an "SP1" model with a shock pallet, follow the special unpacking instructions attached to the shipping container
instead of the unpacking instructions in this section. All warnings still apply.
1
Confirm that the shipping container is upright and stable, then use a utility blade to cut the shrink-
wrap securing the corner protectors. Apply the utility blade directly over the corner protectors to
prevent the utility blade from scratching the enclosure or cutting the heavy protective plastic bag
beneath the shrink-wrap. WARNING: Do not scratch the enclosure or cut the heavy plastic
bag beneath the shrink-wrap. Do not push or pull the enclosure while unpacking.
2
Remove the corner protectors. Save all packing materials (including the pallet) for later use unless
you are certain they will not be required. The packing materials are recyclable.
3
Remove the heavy plastic bag surrounding the enclosure. Examine the enclosure for any damage or
loose parts. Confirm that all parts are present. If anything is missing or damaged, contact Tripp Lite
for assistance. Do not attempt to use the enclosure if it has been damaged.
You also need the following hardware (included):
• (60) Phillips-head Mounting Screws (M6 x 5/8")
• (60) Cage Nuts (M6)
• (60) Nylon Cup Washers
