Equipment Installation
WARNING: Do not install equipment until you have stabilized the enclosure. Install heavier equipment first and
install it toward the bottom of the enclosure. Install equipment starting from the bottom of the enclosure and
proceeding toward the top of the enclosure - never the reverse. If using sliding equipment rails, be careful when
extending the rails. Do not extend more than one set of sliding equipment rails at one time. Avoid extending
sliding equipment rails near the top of the enclosure.
To maximize efficiency and cooling, the top 3U space is reserved for the air conditioning unit. Blanking panels are
installed in these spaces. These blanking panels should be reinstalled if removed to install equipment.
