Only UL® Listed ITE (Information Technology Equipment) units should
be installed inside the ES cabinet.
Be sure to read and follow all individual manufacturer equipment
manuals for safety and installation instructions.
Proper spacing is required when installing electrical equipment
to avoid electrical shock. Maintain minimum spacing between the
accessories and components and the computer cabinet assembly for
safe operation of the equipment when installed in accordance with the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1999.
The ambient temperature operating range for the ES cabinet and
accessories is +50 to +95° F (+10 to +35° C).
The non-operating temperature is -4 to +140° F (-20 to +60° C).

INSTALLATION
Receiving, Unpacking, and Removing the ES cabinet from the
shipping pallet
Inspect and report any damage before receiving. Unpack the cabinet
by carefully removing the corrugated carton and corners. Avoid
damaging the cabinet when removing packaging.
WARNING: Only trained service personnel should be used to remove
the cabinet from the pallet. Also, be sure you have a sucient number
of service personnel. Do not attempt to move cabinets by yourself.
WARNING: Be careful when moving cabinets before installation.
Sudden stops and starts, excessive force, obstructed routes, and
uneven oor surfaces may cause the cabinet to topple over.
Loading Equipment
WARNING: Only install equipment after the ES cabinet has been
properly secured. Do not move the ES cabinet assembly while loaded.
Once in place at the desired/intended location, deploy the leveling feet
for maximum stability.
Rated or maximum load capacity for the ES cabinet is 2000 pounds (for
24"W cabinet; 3300 lbs. with HD Kit installed) or 3300 lbs. (for 30/32"W
cabinet) on the oor or on leveling glides.
To maintain a uniform distribution of the mechanical load in the ES
cabinet, load the heaviest equipment rst, at the bottom of the
ES cabinet and load the lighter units at the top.

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.
