• Keep the enclosure in a controlled indoor environment, away from moisture, temperature extremes, flammable liquids and gasses, conductive
contaminants, dust and direct sunlight.
• Leave adequate space at the front and rear of the enclosure for proper ventilation. Do not block, cover or insert objects into the external ventilation
openings of the enclosure.
• The enclosure is extremely heavy. Use caution when handling the enclosure. Do not attempt to unpack, move or install it unassisted. Use a mechanical
device such as a forklift or pallet jack to move the enclosure in the shipping container.
• Do not place any object on the enclosure, especially containers of liquid, and do not attempt to stack the enclosures.
• Inspect the shipping container and the enclosure for shipping damage. Do not use the enclosure if it is damaged.
• Leave the enclosure in the shipping container until it has been moved as close to the final installation location as possible. The casters are designed for
minor position adjustments within the final installation area only. The casters are not designed for moving the enclosure over longer distances.
• The casters are not designed to provide long-term support for the enclosure after final installation. Use the levelers to provide long-term support.
• Install the enclosure in a structurally sound area with a level floor that is able to bear the weight of the enclosure, all equipment that will be installed in
the enclosure and any other enclosures and/or equipment that will be installed nearby.
• Install the cabinet securely to the building structure, using the shipping brackets as illustrated in the Enclosure Installation section of this manual.
• Do not push the enclosure from the side panels to move it. Pushing from the side panels will cause a tipping hazard.
• When rolling the enclosure on its casters, always push it from behind, never pull it toward you.
• A rolling enclosure can cause personal injury and property damage if not properly supervised. If rolling the enclosure down a ramp is required, use
extreme caution. Do not attempt to use ramps that have a slope steeper than 1:12.
• Use caution when cutting packing materials. The enclosure could be scratched, causing damage not covered by the warranty.
• Save all packing materials for later use. Repacking and shipping the enclosure without the original packing materials may cause product damage that will
void the warranty.
• Do not re-ship the enclosure with additional equipment . The combined weight of the enclosure and installed equipment must not exceed the load capacity of the
pallet. Eaton is not responsible for any damage that occurs during re-shipment.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support
equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
All sections of this manual contain instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and use of the Eaton RE Enclosures
in this
manual. Failure to comply will create a risk of personal injury and property damage and may invalidate the warranty.

This document outlines the recommended practices for assembling and installing the RE Series server enclosure. The standard server
enclosure is a high-quality design for storage of industry standard (EIA/ECA-310), 19” rack-mount hardware, which includes servers,
voice, data, networking, power protection equipment, KVM, etc., which are used in the data center rooms. 19" Standing Server Rack
is the ultimate solution designed and engineered for demanding data center environments. To achieve optimum versatility within the
server rack, users can set multiple depths throughout the rack by adjustable 19” mounting rails mounted on heavy duty side
supports. Horizontally divided side panels provide ease of access and convenient post-installation maintenance. Over 78%
perforations on front and rear door enable optimum airflow within the rack. Flat-pack option enables savings up to 60% in the
transport cost and warehouse space. Please follow the installation instructions closely; assembly should be performed using the
recommended tools.

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
• Ground wire 8AWG(( D=3.2
mm )with proper length, M6 Ring
terminal and another end with
proper terminal to connect your
facility's earth ground
Unpacking
You also need the following hardware (included):
• (50) Phillips-head Mounting Screws (M6 x 5/8")
• (50) Cage Nuts (M6)
• (50) Nylon Cup Washers
【S1 in accessories】
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 Eaton for
assistance. Do not attempt to use the enclosure if it has been damaged.

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.

RE SERIES_ RevA 3/5/2022

4 Open the enclosure's doors directly and locate the 2 shipping brackets A that attach theenclosure
to the shipping pallet. The brackets are located inside or outside the enclosure.
Note: The keys are in the accessories box.
5 Use a 13 mm open-end wrench to remove the shipping brackets. Be extremely careful, as the
enclosure could shift unexpectedly after bracket removal. Save the brackets and bracket hardware
for later use.
6 Position at least one person at the front of the enclosure and one person at the rear of the
enclosure. Slowly push the enclosure toward the back of the shipping pallet until all four casters go
over the edge of the pallet and touch the floor. WARNING: Use at least one assistant when
removing the enclosure from the pallet. Be extremely careful when moving the enclosure.
Placement
1 Use the casters to move the enclosure for a short distance over a level, smooth, stable surface by
pushing it from the front or rear (not the side panels). Do not attempt to roll the enclosure over
long distances. The enclosure should be moved close to its installation location inside its shipping
container before it is unpacked. (Use a forklift or pallet jack to move the shipping container.)
WARNING: Do not push or pull the enclosure at the side panels or pull the enclosure
toward you.

Leveling
WARNING: Level the enclosure before attempting to install equipment. The casters are not designed to provide long-term support for the
enclosure. Use the levelers to provide long-term support. Install the enclosure in a structurally sound area with a level floor that is able to
bear the weight of the enclosure, all equipment that will be installed in the enclosure and any other enclosures and/or equipment that will be
installed nearby.
1 After the enclosure has been moved to the installation location, use a carpenter's level to check
the slope of the floor. If the floor slopes more than 1%, choose an alternate installation site.
2 Use an 18 mm open-end wrench to lower each leveler A until it reaches the floor. (There are 4
levelers, 2 at the front and 2 at the rear.) Make sure each leveler contacts the floor solidly.
Note: Lower a leveler by turning it clockwise; raise a leveler by turning it counter-clockwise.
3
After lowering each leveler, use the carpenter's level to confirm that the enclosure is level in all
directions. Adjust the levelers as required until the enclosure is level.
4 In order to secure the cabinet to the building structure for stability, attach the 2 shipping brackets
using the hardware that attached the enclosure to the shipping pallet. Use a 13 mm open-end
wrench to connect the brackets to the outer A or inner B bracket mounting points of the
enclosure. Attach the brackets to secure mounting points in the floor using user-supplied
hardware .
Ground Connection
All the parts of the enclosure are grounded to the frame of the enclosure. Use the enclosure's front or
rear threaded grounding point A and an M6 screw (included) to connect the frame of the enclosure
directly to your facility's earth ground connection with an 8 AWG ( D=3.2 mm ) wire(user-supplied).
Route the ground wire under the enclosure's frame to ensure unhindered door operation.
WARNING: Attach each enclosure to earth ground separately. Do not use the enclosure
without an earth ground connection.
