How to install APC NetShelter SX 42U 600mm Wide x 1070mm Deep Enclosure

• Plan the installation by confirming room dimensions, doorway widths, and floor load capacity. Evaluate the path from delivery to the final location, ensuring there is clear space for maneuvering the enclosure and for future cable management and airflow.
• Unpack carefully and inspect the enclosure for transit damage. Locate all mounting rails, hardware, doors, panels, and any accessory components, verifying that everything required for installation is present before beginning assembly.
• Position the enclosure in the planned location, then level it on the floor and secure it as needed. If your facility requires it, install base feet or casters and confirm level alignment to avoid tilting that could impact door operation or component mounting.
• Install the 19-inch mounting rails with adjustable depth according to your equipment stack. Ensure rails are securely fastened and aligned to accommodate your servers, switches, storage devices, and other hardware, with proper front-to-back clearance for airflow and cable management paths.
• Mount equipment and manage cables: Securely attach servers, switches, storage devices, and other gear to the rails, then route power, data, and fiber cables through the enclosure’s cable management system. Leave ample space for air to circulate, and use horizontal and vertical cable managers to maintain an organized, serviceable interior.
• Attach doors and panels, verify alignment and locking mechanisms, and perform a final functional check. Label cables and components for asset tracking, test accessibility of front and rear doors, and confirm the ability to access equipment for maintenance without obstructions.
