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.
• Use the included shelves and mounting hardware to mount your rackmount equipment in a 4-post rack or rack enclosure. If you need to install your
equipment in a 2-post rack, order Tripp Lite’s 2-Post Rackmount Kit (model: 2POSTRMKITWM).
• The instructions in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all mounting applications. You must
determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware or procedures are not suitable for your application, contact the
manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure for a solution.
• Rackmount equipment may be extremely heavy—be careful when moving or lifting equipment. Use one or more assistants if necessary.
Square-Hole Rack Installation
1
The included plastic pegs
A
will temporarily support the empty
rackmount shelves
B
while you install the permanent mounting
hardware. Insert a peg near the center of the front and rear bracket of
each shelf as shown. (Each front bracket has 6 holes and each rear
bracket has 3 holes.) The pegs will snap into place.
After installing the pegs, expand each shelf to match the depth of your
rack rails. The pegs will fit through the square holes in the rack rails to
support the shelves. Refer to the rack unit labels to confirm that the
shelves are level in all directions. Note: The support ledge of each
shelf must face inward.
2
Secure the shelves
B
to the mounting rails permanently using the
included screws and cup washers
C
as shown.
• For 2U equipment mounting, place 4 screws total at the front and
4 screws total at the back.
• For 3U equipment mounting, place 6 screws total at the front and
4 screws total at the back.
Tighten all screws before proceeding.
Warning: Do not attempt to install your equipment until you
have inserted and tightened the required screws. The plastic
pegs will not support the weight of your equipment.
3
Attach your equipment’s mounting brackets to the forward mounting
holes of the cabinet using the hardware included with your equipment.
The mounting bracket "ears" should face forward. (Some equipment
may have pre-installed or integral mounting brackets.)
