Safety Information
Keep a printed copy of this User’s Manual, especially the following safety information, in or near the
cabinet
WARNINGS:
• Improper use of this product may lead to serious injury or death. Read and
understand all instructions for proper installation and use of this product.
• Be sure to use sufficient personnel to safely remove the cabinet from the
pallet.
• Do not attempt to move large cabinets by yourself. Obtain adequate assistance
to stabilize the cabinet during movement or hire professional equipment
riggers.
• Move cabinets on installed casters with extreme care. Sudden stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the cabinet to overturn. It is easier to
move the cabinet with the back as the leading edge. Never push on the sides.

Safety Information
WARNINGS (continued):
• Unload equipment from the cabinet before moving it.
• A standalone cabinet should be level, stable, and anchored to the floor. Two or
more cabinets can be bayed together (coupled) to enhance their stability. Each
cabinet should be anchored to the floor.
• Before loading equipment in the cabinet, be sure to adjust and lock the leveling
feet to level the cabinet. Do not use casters to stabilize the cabinet; always
anchor the leveling feet or the cabinet frame to the floor.
• Always load heavy equipment, such as a UPS, at the bottom of the cabinet first,
and add lighter equipment on higher levels.
• There is a safety risk when equipment is mounted on a shelf installed more
than 30 inches (760 mm) above the floor in a cabinet without doors and/or side
panels. The equipment may accidentally slide or be accidentally pushed off the
shelf and fall on personnel. When equipment is mounted on a shelf in this
condition, securely fasten the equipment to the shelf or cabinet frame.
• The cabinet can support many system configurations. The amount of force
required to tip or make the cabinet unstable differs with each configuration. Be
sure to read and follow your equipment manufacturer’s specific assembly,
installation, and safety instructions.
• When servicing slide-mounted equipment such as servers:
- Secure all equipment, other than the unit being serviced, in position to
prevent it from sliding out and destabilizing the cabinet.
- Extend only one unit at a time. Extending multiple units may cause the
cabinet to tip over.
- Extend the unit slowly. Rapid deployment of the unit could cause the
cabinet to tip over.
• For protection of the equipment and personnel, ground each cabinet
individually to the Telecommunications Equipment Bonding Conductor (TEBC)
or Signal Reference Structure (SRS).

5
Intended Use

or in air-handling spaces.
• Use the cabinet for information technology and telecommunications equipment, including servers
and peripherals.
• Allow only qualified service personnel to use the cabinet.
• The cabinets must be anchored to the floor to ensure stability and a safe working environment.

Installation
Moving the cabinet
CAUTION: The GT-Series GlobalFrame Gen 2 Cabinet ships on casters. Move the
cabinet by pushing on the front or the rear of the cabinet. Do not push the cabinet
from the sides.
The GT-Series GlobalFrame Gen 2 Cabinet has been provided with four (4) casters to allow the cabinet
to be rolled into position. The standard casters are only intended to support the cabinet when it is
empty.
Once the cabinet has been moved to the final location, level and anchor the cabinet per the
instructions below.

11
Anchoring the cabinet to the floor
Insure that the cabinet has been properly leveled. All four (4) leveling feet should be in firm contact
with the floor and the cabinet should not rock in any direction. A level placed on the cabinet frame
should confirm that the cabinet is level. If the cabinet is not level, adjust the leveling feet with a #2
Phillips screwdriver or 13 mm open end wrench until the cabinet is level and the cabinet will not rock
in any direction.
GlobalFrame cabinets, whether bayed together or standing alone, should be anchored to the floor.
The pallet shipping/floor attachment brackets (shown below) are used to anchor the cabinet to the
floor. The brackets attach to the outside of the frame (as they were on the pallet). Installation
requires four M10 anchors.
Pallet Shipping/Floor Attachment Bracket
The mounting locations for the brackets are shown in the figure below.
Attach the cabinet to the floor with M10 hardware appropriate for your type of flooring.

12
Bonding the cabinet to the telecommunications ground
GT-Series GlobalFrame Gen 2 Cabinets should be bonded to the telecommunications ground. The top
panel, side panels, doors and mounting rails on the GlobalFrame cabinet are electrically bonded to the
frame. A ground strap bonds the panels and doors to the frame. In order to bond the cabinet to the
telecommunications ground, use a One-Hole Ground Terminal Block (P/N 08009-001, ordered
separately) or one hole copper lug with ¼” (M6) or 3/8” (M8) hole to connect a bonding conductor to
the telecommunications ground or signal reference grid. Attach the block/lug to the cabinet frame
using a M6 bolt. Secure the lug to the center thread insert on the inside of the bottom front/rear
support on the cabinet.
P/N 08009-001
(ordered separately)

13
Baying cabinets together
GT-Series GlobalFrame Gen 2 Cabinets can be bayed (fastened) together with both side panels in place,
with a shared side panel between cabinets, or with no side panels between cabinets, depending on
installation requirements. Cabinets must be the same height and depth.
1. The cabinet doors do not need to be removed from the cabinet. The baying bracket and hardware
is accessible on the rear with the rear doors fully open. The front door should be opened
approximately 90 degrees until the hole in the edge of the front door aligns with the screw used to
attach the baying bracket (see below).
2. Use the supplied hardware and a #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach the baying bracket (included in
the hardware kit) to the first cabinet. The bracket will bay any two cabinets that are the same
height and depth side-by-side.
3. Move the second cabinet so that the cabinets are aligned. This may also require adjusting the
leveling feet if the second cabinet was not set at the same level as the first cabinet.
4. Use the supplied hardware to attach the baying bracket to the second cabinet.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the other end of the cabinet.

14

as in the same location as the rails on the opposite side of the frame.
When the equipment rails are located in the first 50 mm (2”) at the front (or rear) of the frame, the
frame will provide an internal air dam that prevents air from re-circulating to the front of the cabinet.

20
Installing Equipment
The GT-Series GlobalFrame Gen 2 Cabinet supports all manufacturers’ equipment that conforms to the
EIA/ECA 310E standard. Most equipment attaches directly to the equipment mounting rails; however,
some manufacturers may provide brackets or slide assemblies that require additional installation.
Rack-mount unit (U) markings are clearly printed on the equipment rails to simplify installation of
components. Align equipment with the U markings on each side of the cabinet before securing the
equipment.
NOTE: Equipment rails should be adjusted to the desired location (front to rear) prior
to installing equipment. See “Adjusting the Equipment Rails” on page 19.
Hardware is available for purchase (see “Other Accessories” on page 23).
