How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Industrial Enclosure

• Plan the installation by identifying a solid wall surface with adequate load-bearing capacity and access to electrical power, grounding, and network cabling. Ensure the mounting location can accommodate the 32.5-inch depth without obstructing doors, airflow, or maintenance routes.
• Unpackage and inspect the enclosure for any shipping damage. Verify that all mounting brackets, rails, and hardware are present before beginning installation.
• Install the adjustable 19-inch rack rails inside the enclosure according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Align rails for proper front-to-back mounting depth, verify levelness, and secure rails to the enclosure frame using the provided hardware.
• Mount rack-mount equipment to the rails, starting with heavier devices at the bottom to maintain proper center of gravity. Use appropriate hardware and secure devices to rails to prevent shifting during operation or relocation.
• Route cables through the rear or side access openings, employing cable management features to maintain tidy organization and adequate clearance for airflow. Attach any optional cable managers, grommets, or knockouts as needed, ensuring that power and data cables are separated to minimize interference.
