Unpacking
1Confirm 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.
2Remove 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.
3Remove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 Tripp Lite for assistance. Do not attempt to use the enclosure if it has been damaged.
Caution! Read All Instructions and Warnings Before Installation!
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.

Enclosure Installation
4Locate the 2 shipping brackets Athat attach the enclosure to the shipping pallet.
5Usea13mmopen-endwrenchtoremovetheshippingbrackets.Beextremelycareful,asthe

hardware for later use.
6Position 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
1Use 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. 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.
Enclosure Installation
1After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.
2Usea14mmopen-endwrenchtolowereachleveler Auntil 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:
1. Lower a leveler by turning it clockwise; raise a leveler by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Damage to the doors may occur if the levelers are retracted too far.
3After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.
4To achieve Zone 4 seismic rating, 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 bracket mounting points of the enclosure. Attach the brackets to secure
mountingpointsinthefloorusinguser-suppliedhardwareorTrippLite'sSmartRackBolt-Down
Kit(Part#SRBOLTDOWN).
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 Aand an M6 screw (included) to connect the frame of the
enclosuredirectlytoyourfacility'searthgroundconnectionwithan8AWG(3.264mm)wire.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.
AC Power Connection
To power the ventilation fans, you will need to connect each fan panel to an AC power source. Each fan panel has a C14 inlet at its center. Use the
includedC13-to-NEMA5-15Ppowercords(3)toconnecteachfanpaneltoa120VACpowersource.

Adjusting Mounting Rails and Cable Management Rails
WARNING: Do not attempt to adjust rails without assistance. Do not attempt to adjust rails while equipment is installed in the
enclosure. Do not attempt to use rails without screws installed (6 per rail).
The4mountingrailsarepre-installedtoaccommodateequipmentwithamountingdepthof30inches(762mm).Donotadjustthemountingrails

the middle beam Band 1 pair at the lower beam C.
2Remove the screws fastening each of the rear mounting rails to the enclosure. (If adjustment of
thefrontrailsisrequired,youcanalsoremovethescrewsfromthefrontrails.)
3Slide the mounting rails to the desired depth and reattach them using the screws you removed
in Step 2. The rail attachment points are numbered Ato help you align each pair of rails at
the same depth.
The depth of the 2 cable management rails can be adjusted using the same method.

Combining (Baying) Enclosures
WARNING: Combining enclosures is not a substitute for stabilizing the enclosures. Each enclosure in a bay of combined
enclosures requires the same stabilizing measures as a standalone enclosure.
1Arrange the enclosures in the correct position for baying.
2Each enclosure includes 4 baying brackets Athat correspond to baying connection points B
on the adjoining enclosure. The baying connection points already contain screws. Remove the
screw from each baying connection point in the adjoining enclosure.
3Loosen the screw in each baying bracket and turn each bracket 90 degrees toward the
adjoining enclosure, aligning each bracket with the corresponding baying connection point on
the adjoining enclosure.
4Connect each bracket to the adjoining enclosure using the screws you removed in step 2, but
do not tighten the screws completely. Adjust the position of the enclosures as needed. If you
want the centers of the enclosures to be 24 inches (61 cm) apart, use the outside hole of the
bracket C. If you want the centers to be 60 cm (23.6 inches) apart, use the middle hole of
the bracket D. After connecting all brackets and confirming that the enclosures do not need
further adjustment, tighten all screws.
Note: You may wish to remove the doors from the enclosures before combining them.
Reinstalling the doors afterward is optional. Remove the interior side panels before baying
enclosures if you wish to enable access between enclosures.
