How to install APC NetShelter SX Server Rack Gen 2

  • Step 1: Plan and prepare your space Assess floor levelness, existing cooling capabilities, and available space. Ensure there is adequate clearance for service, airflow, and accessibility to front and rear doors. Prepare labeling for cables and devices to speed up installation and future upgrades.
  • Step 2: Unpack and inspect Carefully remove packaging and verify that all components are present, including rails, side panels, doors, and mounting hardware. Inspect panels and doors for damage and confirm compatibility with your equipment footprint before proceeding.
  • Step 3: Position and level Move the cabinet into place and use leveling feet or casters as appropriate for your facility. Level the rack to prevent equipment misalignment and ensure smooth opening and closing of doors and panels.
  • Step 4: Install rails and prepare mounting Attach the adjustable 19" rails according to the included instructions, aligning them for the intended mounting depth. Verify rail stability and ensure proper clearance for cable management behind and above mounting spaces.
  • Step 5: Mount equipment Rack-mount servers, storage devices, switches, and other equipment using proper anti-static precautions and manufacturer torque guidelines. Start with heavier items at the bottom to maintain an even center of gravity and to simplify cabling.
  • Step 6: Route cables and manage power Route data and power cables through built-in channels and cable managers. Label connections, separate power and data runs where possible, and maintain slack to permit serviceability without stressing connectors.
  • Step 7: Seal, test, and secure Attach front and rear doors, lock them, and verify operation. Confirm air flow paths are clear and that cooling is sufficient for the installed equipment. Perform a basic power-on test and document cable mappings for future maintenance.
