How to Install AR2400FP1 Netshelter SV Enclosure

• Prepare the installation site by leveling the floor, ensuring adequate egress, and confirming the space can support the enclosure’s weight once loaded with equipment. Clear the area of dust and debris to protect internal components during setup.
• Unpack the enclosure carefully and inspect all panels, rails, doors, and accessories for any shipping damage. Have your installation plan ready, including equipment layout, cable pathways, and access considerations for maintenance.
• Install the 19-inch mounting rails inside the cabinet, aligning them to the intended 19-inch equipment positions. Use the provided fasteners and reference the manufacturer’s rails mounting guidelines to ensure rails are level and securely anchored to the enclosure’s frame.
• Attach the side panels to the enclosure to establish a closed, protected environment for the internal components. Confirm that side panels are properly seated and fastened, providing a stable surface for cable management and airflow routing behind the equipment.
• Mount your IT equipment starting with heavier components close to the bottom for stability, then route cables through the rear knockouts and managed channels. Verify that power, data, and network cables are neatly organized, labeled, and do not obstruct airflow. Finally, close and secure the enclosure doors, checking for proper alignment and smooth operation.
