Chapter 3: Preparing the Cabinet for Installation 3. Preparing the Cabinet for Installation Follow these simple recommendations for best performance from your new enclosure. 3.1 Handling NOTE: For palletized cabinets, see the unpacking instruction sheet before attempting to remove the cabinet from the pallet. To achieve the level of acoustic performance and industrial needs of a high-quality 19” enclosure, the composition of cabinet parts means that the QuietCab cabinets are very heavy.
Chapter 4: Cable Management 4. Cable Management There are two ways to route cable in and out of the cabinet: through the top panel or through the bottom rear entry panel.' 4.1 Top Panel Cable Entry The top panel (see Figure 4-1) has two plastic cable entry grommets, which are lined with foam to prevent airflow and sound from escaping the cabinet. You can route cable through these grommets. Top cable access Thumbscrews Bottom cable access Thumbscrews Figure 4-1.
Chapter 4: Cable Management 4.2 Bottom Cable Entry The cabinet has a cable access opening (see Figure 4-1 on the previous page) at the bottom of the enclosure. The cabinet is lined with foam on the top, bottom, and sides to prevent airflow and sound from escaping. The cable port is large enough to accommodate several hundred Ethernet cables and has a removable top cover. To route the cable out of the cabinet, follow these steps: 1. Loosen the two thumbscrews and remove the rear cable access port top cover.
Chapter 5: Installing Equipment in the Cabinet 5. Installing Equipment in the Cabinet 5.1 Leveling the Cabinet Level the enclosure before installing equipment. The leveling feet at the corners provide a stable base if the floor is uneven, but they cannot compensate for a badly sloped surface. 1. Move the enclosure to a level location. 2. For each leveling foot, turn the leveling foot clockwise until it makes firm contact with the floor. 5.
Chapter 5: Installing Equipment in the Cabinet Adjusting the vertical mounting rails on the side braces WARNING: T o avoid personal injury or damage to the enclosure, perform this procedure without any equipment installed on the mounting rails. 1.
