2.1 Description
The ServShield protects your computer hardware in manufacturing environments and other industrial areas

keyboard drawer; steel, perforated lower front door with dust filter; steel rear door furnished with fan assembly
and dust filters; a gland plate (12"L x 2.5"W [30.5 x 6.4 cm]), which provides cable access on the bottom of the
enclosure; one vented stationary shelf for mounting the monitor (200-lb. [90.8-kg] weight capacity); rubber
feet; and leveling glides. All doors have compression latches and locks. Cabinet dimensions are 72"H x 30"W x
36"D (182.9 x 76.2 x 91.4 cm).
The top Plexiglas door, middle keyboard door, bottom front door, and rear door are keyed the same.

3. Installation
3.1 Leveling the Cabinet
ServShield cabinets are shipped with both casters and leveling glides for your convenience. Two casters have
brakes that you can activate by turning the brake level on the side of the wheel. You can lower the leveling legs
by turning the leveling glide to the proper height using a 3⁄4" open-ended wrench.
3.2 Removing the Doors
The top and bottom front doors and the rear door are removable. To remove a door, open the door beyond 90
degrees. Then grasp the door with both hands, and carefully lift upward. When the door is free of the hinge
pins, pull the door away from the enclosure. To attach the door, align all of the hinges (two on the front doors
and three on the rear door) and slowly slide the door down until seated.
3.3 Fan Assembly (RF207) and Rear Door Fan Filter (RM475)
The fan assembly is already installed in the rear door. The part number for the rear fan filter is RM475. If you
need to replace a filter, follow these steps:
1. Replace one filter at a time. The 12 screws, which hold the filters in place, are the only thing holding on
the fan assembly. If you replace one filter at a time, you only have to remove four screws at a time so you
don’t have to remove the fan assembly.
2. Remove the fan filter cover—it snaps off.
3. Remove the four #8-32 x 3⁄4" screws holding the filter on the door.
4. Replace the filter, using the same four #8-32 x 3⁄4" screws.
5. Replace the fan filter cover.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the remaining two filters.

3.4 Front Door Filter
You can easily remove the filter on the front door to clean or replace it. The part number for the front door
filter is RM476. To remove the filter, remove the two wing nuts on the top of the filter, swing the filter bracket
down and remove the filter.
The life of the filter depends on the environment the ServShield is installed in. You can vacuum the filters or
wash them in warm water with mild detergent. We recommend vacuuming the filter to keep it in peak
condition. If you choose to wash the filter, do so only once and replace it with a new filter when it gets dirty
again.
