1. Important Safety Instructions
2. Overview
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This Manual contains instructions and warnings that must be followed during the installation and operation of the product described in this manual.
Failure to comply may invalidate the warranty and cause property damage or personal injury.
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.•
Install the enclosure in a structurally sound area capable of handling the load, or on 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.
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 reship the enclosure with additional equipment unless the enclosure was shipped with a special shock pallet (“SP1” models only). The combined
•
weight of the enclosure and installed equipment must not exceed the load capacity of the pallet. Tripp Lite is not responsible for any damage that occurs
during reshipment.
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. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
If installing optional casters (SRCASTER—see page 7 for caster installation):
The casters are not designed to provide long-term support for the enclosure after final installation. 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.
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.
SmartRack Enclosures accommodate all standard 19-inch rackmount equipment, regardless of vendor, and ship fully assembled for quick and easy deployment.

Caution! Read All Instructions and Warnings Before Installation!
Warning: Rack enclosures can be extremely heavy. Do not attempt to unpack, move or install the enclosure without assistance. 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.
The enclosure must be installed in a structually sound area 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.
If using the optional casters, you can 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. Warning: Do not push or pull the enclosure at the
side panels or pull the enclosure toward you. Only experienced equipment operators should attempt
to lift the enclosure. Use appropriate equipment and follow all applicable safety procedures and
regulations.
You need several tools:
• Level
• Phillips-head Screwdriver
• Appropriate tools for wall mounting
You also need the following hardware:
• Appropriate hardware for wall mounting (not included)
Use at least two people to unpack the enclosure.
Never extend more than one component from the enclosure at a time.
Warning: Never attempt to lift or install without adequate help.
Do not try lifting the enclosure alone.
1Move shipping pallet to a firm, level surface.
2Open box and remove the four foam cormer protectors. Save all packing materials for later use unless you are certain they will not be required. Packing
materials are recyclable.
3With one person on each side, carefully lift the enclosure out of the box and place on a firm, level surface.
4Examine the enclosure for any damage or loose parts. Confirm 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.

5.1 Door Locks
5.2 Cable Access and Management
5.3 Reversing the Enclosure
All 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 (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.
All enclosure doors (including front and back doors, as well as both side panels) have locks that are
accessible by included keys.
The back door of the enclosure has a square opening for cable access and management. An additonal
opening can be found on top of the main cabinet. Each opening can also be closed by screwing in the
removeable cable access panels.
In order to accommodate various rack configurations, the enclosure can be reversed. To do so, simply turn the enclosure over so that the doors open in the
opposite direction.
Before installation, be sure to plan the location and arrangement of components within the enclosure. Be sure all mounting rails are reversed or adjusted for
depth, depending on your equipment configuration.

5.4 Mounting Rails
6.1 Mounting
5.5 Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth
The enclosure comes with mounting rails that have square holes for mounting rack equipment. To install
equipment, use the included cage nuts and other hardware. (See page 7 for installation of cage nuts.)
Warning: Be sure to have the enclosure securely mounted to the wall, or in its final position on the
floor before mounting any equipment inside. Also be sure to have all the right adjustments on your
rails before mounting equipment. (See below for Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth.)
There are 12 keyhole cutouts on the back door of the enclosure. Each keyhole can accommodate an M5 or
3/16” bolt. The holes are on centers and beginning with the two innermost holes, the centers are 13 3/4”,
16” and 18 1/4” apart, respectively moving outward and horizontaly. Holes are then a standard 19” apart
vertically, as shown in the diagram.
Using a level, measure to position your mounting areas precisely. Use appropriate fasteners (not included)
to secure the enclosure to the wall. Warning: The area you plan to mount the enclosure to must be
able to withstand the weight of the enclosure and all mounted equipment. For the weight of the
enclosure and its capacity, see the specifications on page 8.
Warning: Do not attempt to adjust rails while equipment is installed in the enclosure. Do not
attempt to use rails without screws installed. (2 per rail.)
The 4 mounting rails are pre-installed to accommodate equipment with a mounting depth of 20.5 inches
(521 mm). Do not adjust the mounting rails unless your equipment requires a different mounting depth.
The front and rear sets of rails can be adjusted independently in 1/4-inch (6mm) increments for mounting
depths between 3 inches (76 mm) and 20.5 inches (521 mm).
1 Each rail is connected to the enclosure with 2 screws: 1 in the upper corner and another in the lower
corner. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws that fasten the rails to the enclosure.
2 Slide the mounting rails to the desired depth and reattach them using the screws you removed in
Step 1.
Warning: Do not attempt to mount the enclosure to the wall with equipment mounted in the enclosure.

7.1 Installing or Removing Cage Nuts
An optional caster accessory kit (Model: SRCASTER) is available separately through Tripp Lite. Go to
www.tripplite.com or call [phone] for details. The SRCASTER Kit consists of 4 casters with
required locknuts and bolts for installation. The casters install to the base of the unit using pre-drilled
holes as shown in the illustration below. For further installation instructions, refer to the manual included
with the SRCASTER Kit.
Warning: Do not install equipment until you have stabilized the enclosure. Install heavier equipment first and install it towards the bottom of the
enclosure. Install equipment starting from the bottom of the enclosure and proceeding toward the top of the enclosure - never the reverse. If using
sliding equipment rails, be careful when extending the rails. Do not extend more than one set of sliding equipment rails at one time. Avoid extending
sliding equipment rails near the top of the enclosure.
Note: The square holes in the middle of each rack unit are numbered and also include a small notch to aid identification. A single rack unit includes the space occupied by
the numbered hole and the holes directly above and below.
To Remove Cage Nuts, Reverse Steps 1-3
Note: You may wish to use a cage nut tool (user-supplied) to aid cage nut installation and removal.
WARNING: The flanges of the cage nuts should engage the sides of the square opening in the rail, not the top and bottom. Follow the instructions in
your equipment documentation to ensure proper installation of your equipment.
1 Locate the numbered square openings in the mounting rails where you plan to install your equipment.
You will install cage nuts (included) into the square openings in order to provide an attachment point
for the mounting screws (included). Note: Consult your equipment documentation to determine how
many cage nuts will be required and where they will need to be installed.
2 From the inside of the mounting rail, insert one of the flanges of the cage nut through the square
opening. Press it against the side of the square opening. Each flange should engage one side of the
square opening, not the top or bottom.
3Compress the cage nut at the sides slightly to allow the remaining flange to fit through the square
opening. When the cage nut is properly installed, both flanges will protrude through the square
opening and will be visible on the outer surface of the mounting rail. Repeat steps 1-3 until all
required cage nuts are installed.
4 After installing the required cage nuts, use the included mounting screws and cup washers to secure
your equipment to the rack rail. Place the cup washers between the screws and the equipment
mounting brackets.
Note: Your equipment may also include mounting hardware. Read the mounting instructions that came with your
equipment before installing your equipment.
