how to install Vertiv Rack Mount Kit

• Prepare the installation site: Select a sturdy wall with solid backing (studs or concrete) and ensure there is adequate clearance for access and cable routing. Verify that the wall surface can support the combined weight of the ACS 800 Serial Console and the mounting kit when fully loaded.
• Unpack and verify components: Lay out all brackets, mounting plates, screws, anchors, and any instruction sheets. Confirm that you have the correct hardware for your wall type and that the components are free of damage.
• Attach mounting brackets to the ACS 800 Serial Console: Secure the console to the wall-mount brackets using the provided screws. Ensure the console is seated firmly, with no wobble, and that all fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque.
• Mark wall-anchor locations: Hold the mounted brackets against the chosen wall location and mark the exact hole positions for studs or anchors. Double-check alignment to guarantee a level installation and proper cable routing space.
• Install wall anchors and mount the bracket: Drill pilot holes and set the anchors appropriate for your wall type (concrete or wood stud). Secure the wall-mount bracket to the wall using the included hardware, ensuring the bracket is perfectly level.
• Secure the ACS 800 Serial Console to the wall-mount: Hang or anchor the console onto the wall-mount bracket, depending on the kit design, and tighten all fasteners to secure the device. Confirm that the console is stable and does not shift when touched.
• Route and manage cables: Route power, management, and serial cables through the integrated channels, keeping cables neat and avoiding sharp bends. Leave sufficient slack for maintenance and future repositioning.
• Test and verify: Power up the ACS 800 Serial Console and verify operational status. Check console accessibility, button responses, and ensure that ventilation around the unit is unobstructed for optimal cooling.
