how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Vertical Bars

• Prepare the cabinet: Power down or coordinate with your facilities team as required, then remove any panels or obstructions along the interior where the vertical bars will be mounted.
• Position the bars: Align the vertical equipment management bars with the cabinet’s interior mounting rails on the left and/or right sides, ensuring the channels face inward to channel cables away from airflow paths.
• Secure the bars: Use the included mounting hardware to fasten the bars firmly to the cabinet chassis. Start with hand-tight screws, then snug them with the appropriate tool until the bars are secure but not over-torqued.
• Route cables: Begin guiding cables into the vertical channels, keeping power and data cables routed separately where possible to minimize interference. Use additional zip ties or cable management accessories as needed, but avoid over-constraining cables to preserve bend radius and airflow.
• Test and tidy: Reinstall any panels, test connectivity, and finalize cable layouts. Perform a quick airflow check to ensure there are no obstructions that could impede cooling. Label cables for easier future maintenance.
