Important Information Tools Other tools required (not provided) Phillips screwdriver Utility knife Level Cage nut tool Safety Important Safety Instructions Save These Instructions This manual contains important instructions that must be followed during installation, operation, and maintenance of the equipment. Use caution when moving an empty enclosure on its casters; the enclosure may be unstable when pushed or pulled from the side.
Configuration Before installing the enclosure, plan the location and space needed to install equipment, and plan the ergonomics of keyboards and video monitors. Improper airflow could damage installed components. Blanking panels Use blanking panels to close up large open spaces in the CX but not to completely seal the rack. The NetShelter CX works best when air can travel not just through the equipment vents, but also above and below any equipment that generates thermal energy.
ns1533b Three hinges are attached to their mountings in the enclosure to complete door installation. 38 and 24U racks have three hinges per door. The 18U racks have two hinges per door. Removal. 1 Press on the hidden latch under the side arm. 2 Lift the hinge arm off the mounting plate 2 2 ns1968a 3 Slide the latch and door away from the mounting plate. ns1532b When all hinges are detached from their mountings, the door can be removed.
Installation Installation and Setup If equipment mounting rails are adjusted from their standard factory installed positions to a deeper position, such as in a networking application, the levelling feet must be used. Note: The bottom trim and leveling feet are packaged separately and placed in the enclosure. Leveling the enclosure and installing bottom trim Level the enclosure before installing equipment.
Removing and Installing Fan Modules Unlock the fan module Open the right hand side panel. Unscrew the thumbscrew on the right side of the fan module to unlock the fan module so it can be opened.

The front mounting flanges are adjustable towards the rear of the enclosure to accommodate different rails or equipment with other depths.The rear mounting flanges are adjustable towards the front. The flanges can be adjusted to be as close as 120 mm (4.7 in) or as far as 880 mm (34.6 in) apart in 40 mm (1.
Installing Equipment This section provides information on how to install rack-mount equipment in the enclosure. The instructions provided with the equipment provide more detailed information. Identifying one U-space on the vertical mounting flange When installing equipment, locate the top and bottom of a U-space on the mounting flanges. Every third hole on the mounting flanges of a NetShelter enclosure is numbered to indicate the middle of a U-space.
Equipment Planning Guidelines Fan module 1 Avoid clustering hot-running equipment such as servers, dense redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID), and large voice-over-internet-protocol (VOIP) switches in one part of the enclosure. Distribute the thermal load evenly up and down the enclosure such that each fan module supports an equal amount of the thermal load.
