• The illustration provides an exploded
view of all the enclosure components you
are about to put together.
• Open the boxes and verify that all parts,
hardware and accessories are included in
the package.
• Inspect the cabinet components and
identify each individual part to ensure
proper assembly of the unit.
• Identify both frames.
• Make sure to position front and back
structures with the rows of square holes
facing inward.
• It is recommended to lay down the
frames on a mat or protected floor area
to facilitate the assembly of the compo-
nents required during this stage of the
process.

• Identify the 2 caster wheels with brake
mechanism to be installed in the front,
and the 2 regular caster wheels which
will be used in the back of the cabinet.
• Align the holes on the wheel plate with
the ones on the bottom panel.
• Fix the wheels to the base using the
supplied M6xL12 phillips screws.
• Repeat the same process until all 4
wheels are installed.
• It is usually recommended to attach the
feet at this stage, but you may consider
screwing them not to their full extension.
In that way, the wheels can remain fully
operational so you can still roll or turn the
cabinet around as needed while working
on it.

• Identify the fan tray unit.
• Position the tray so as to have the
power cord and power switch facing
towards the back of the cabinet. The
voltage selector should be facing the
front of the cabinet.
Important: make sure to set the selector

voltage supplied in your area.
• Mount the unit in the roof inside the
cabinet, using the supplied M5xL12
phillips head screws.

through the fan tray and into the holes of
the front and back frames respectively.
• After the fan tray is installed, you may
put the cabinet back to its standing
position.
• Identify the side bars.
• Count up to the third and fourth square
holes from the bottom and upper ends of
the frames and insert a M6 cage nut in
each opening with the tabs facing inward.
• Define the middle of the cabinet to
install the center bars. Find a point near
the lock and insert two M6 cage nuts on
the front and rear frames with the tabs
facing inward.
• Make sure to position the bars so that
the hook at each end is inserted in the
corresponding slots on the front and rear
frames.
• Insert the M6xL12 phillips-head screws
from the inside through the side bar holes
and into the cage nuts installed in the
frames.
• On the already installed side bars, count
up the second and third square holes
from the front and rear ends and insert
one M6 cage nut in each one, with the
tabs facing inward.
• Repeat this procedure until all 24 cage
nuts are installed.
• Next, identify the 4 vertical perforated
mounting rails.
• Position the perforated mounting rails
so as to have from high to low the
number of rack units stamped on each
column.
• In addition, the row of numbers on each
vertical rail must be facing each other, on
the front and rear sections of the unit.
• Proceed to insert the M6xL12
phillips-head screws and plastic washers
from the inside through the vertical
mounting rails and into the cage nut
installed in each side bar.
• Tighten all 24 nuts to secure the rails
to the side bars.
• Identify the plastic stop plugs.
• Place the plugs on the front and rear
frames, right below the upper side bar.
• Attach all 4 plugs to the structure using
the phillips head self-tapping screws.
• Next, identify the 2 side panels. Both
are identical for this model.
• Place bottom section of each side panel
over the outer edge of the cabinet base.
• Slide the plastic retaining latches on
both sides of the panel to their unlock
position.
• Push side panels against the support
frames and release the plastic retaining
latches so as to re-engage them to their
locked position.
Note: should you require to secure both
sides of the cabinet with a lock, each side
panel features an opening to install an
optional key lock. These extra locks must
be provided by the user.
• Insert the M8xL12 allen-head screws
from the outside, through the top panel
and support frames. Thread a nut onto
each screw to hold the panel and frames
together.
• Place the remaining two cable entry
plates on top of the upper access holes
located on the top panel, so as to cover
them from the inside.
• Align the holes on each plate with the
ones on the frame, and fix them from the
inside using the supplied M4xL8
phillips-head self-tapping screws.
