OPERATING DOOR HANDLE
The door swing handles have been installed at the manufacturer.
No additional assembly is required. The EZ doors have a three point
latching system. To operate the swing handle, lift up at the bottom
of the handle then swing the handle to the right to open. The handle
must be kept in this position to close the door. Return the handle to
the initial position and use the key provided to lock the handle.
Important note: Doors are reversible, but require
an additional hinge kit. Please contact your
distributor/Great Lakes representative for the
EZ Hinge Kit.
Loading Equipment
WARNING: Only install equipment after the EZ cabinet has been
properly secured. Do not move the EZ cabinet assembly while loaded.
Rated or maximum load capacity for the EZ cabinet is 1000 lbs. (3000
lb. non-seismic weight capacity). Cabinet must be secured to oor
using the included AK101 Seismic Anchor Bolts.
To maintain a uniform distribution of the mechanical load in the EZ
cabinet, load the heaviest equipment rst, at the bottom of the
EZ cabinet and load the lighter units at the top.

DOOR REMOVAL AND ATTACHMENT
Open the door beyond 90 degrees. Use a Phillips head screw driver
and remove the middle captive hinge from the door. (Make sure to
keep the hinge and hardware for re-installation) The handle should be
placed in the closed position and the door can be removed by lifting
straight up. To re-install, reverse the above procedure.
EZ cabinet front and rear doors come hinged on the right side.
Because these doors are installed with a captive middle hinge, it will
require the EZ Hinge Kit to reverse door to a left hand swing.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
VERTICAL CABLE TROUGH & PDU MOUNTING
The EZ cabinet comes with a universal power strip bracket set in both
rear corners. These bracket sets will accept a wide range of Power
Distribution Units (PDUs) and will also accept Vertical Cable Troughs
(VCT-84). Brackets are vertically adjustable to accommodate dierent
size PDUs. Measure the required mounting distance top to bottom,
install brackets, then install power strip. 44" standard distance for GL
power strips; 61.250" industry standard power strips.
POWER
When using power distribution units (PDUs), each PDU should
be connected to a committed branch circuit that is rated for the
continuous load of all the equipment connected. When not using a
PDU, each piece of equipment should be connected to a dedicated
branch circuit.

GROUNDING
GROUNDING KIT, GR101
Grounding studs in our EZ cabinet provide
a point to which the doors may be grounded to the
cabinet and from which the cabinet may be
connected to the facility’s common ground.
Using the grounding straps supplied, connect one
end of the strap to copper ground stud on the side panels
and/or doors and the other end to copper ground
stud on the frame of the cabinet. Once all
straps have been connected to a copper frame
stud, have at least one frame stud connected to
the common building ground.
Ground Stud:
#10-32 x 1 7/8 LG
or M6 x 50mm LG
COPPER BUS BARS, CBB-72
It is important to note that grounding the cabinet
does not ground the equipment mounted within it.
In order for any individual devices and
components mounted within an cabinet
to be grounded, they must be
connected to a copper bus bar.

CONNECTING MAIN PROTECTIVE GROUNDING STUD TO THE
DEDICATED BRANCH CIRCUIT GROUND
Connect the dedicated branch circuit ground connector to the main
protective grounding stud located inside at the bottom rear
of the cabinet frame using a listed ring or closed-loop terminal.
CONNECTING MAIN PROTECTIVE GROUNDING STUD TO THE
PROTECTIVE BONDING CONDUCTORS
Connect the rear doors to the main protective grounding studs located
inside at the bottom and top rear of the cabinet chassis using a listed
ring or closed-loop terminal. Connect the front door to the grounding
stud located inside at the bottom front of the cabinet frame using a
listed ring or closed-loop terminal.
PARTS NOT BONDED TO PROTECTIVE EARTHING TERMINAL
The following parts are not eectively bonded to the protective
earthing terminal: rails and front to back rail horizontals. If these
