WARNING

TIP HAZARD

  • This enclosure is easily tipped. Use extreme caution when unpacking or moving.
  • Use at least two people to unpack and move the enclosure.
  • Before moving the enclosure on its casters, load 158 kg (350 lb) of equipment into the bottom of the enclosure for extra stability.
  • Make sure the leveling feet are up and push the enclosure only from the front or rear when moving the enclosure on its casters. Never push the enclosure from the sides.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

APC NetShelter SX AR3200 - TIP HAZARD - 1

Labels. The following labels can be found on the enclosure, and serve to communicate the following information:

Label ①: Generic Tip Hazard

Label ②: Extend Slide-Mounted Hardware One Piece at a Time

Casters. The enclosure can be moved on its casters with up to 1021 kg (2,250 lb) of equipment installed. Once in place, lower the leveling feet. With the leveling feet lowered, the static enclosure can be loaded to 1364 kg (3,000 lb).

NOTE: Some labels on the enclosure indicate caster related information. See label ③ to right.

APC NetShelter SX AR3200 - TIP HAZARD - 2

Eye bolts. The enclosure can be lifted using eye bolts with up to 567 kg (1,250 lb) of equipment installed. Use M10 eye bolts with a shoulder rated for 181 kg (400 lb).

NOTE: Use appropriate lifting hardware to assure straight-line pull on lifting eye bolts.

APC NetShelter SX AR3200 - TIP HAZARD - 3

natural_image Technical line drawing of a lifting device with a cabinet and lever (no text or symbols)

Level the Enclosure

NOTES:

- The leveling feet at the corners of the equipment provide a stable base if the floor is uneven, but they cannot compensate for a badly sloped surface. - With the leveling feet lowered, the static enclosure can be loaded to 1364 kg (3,000 lb).

  1. Ensure the enclosure is in its intended location. Remove the front and rear doors. See "Front Door Removal" on page 16 for instruction.

NOTES:

- Door removal is not required if using the 13 mm open-ended-wrench.

- Before removing the front door, unplug the ground wires and any other wire connections that may interfere with the removal of the doors.

  1. Insert a Phillips head screwdriver into the screw above the leveling foot. Turn the screw clockwise to extend the leveling foot until it makes firm contact with the floor.

This method works best with an empty, or near empty enclosure. If loaded with equipment, a 13 mm open ended wrench can also be used to lower the leveling feet.

APC NetShelter SX AR3200 - NOTES: - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a server rack cabinet with an inset showing a screwdriver inserted into a bracket (no text or symbols present)
  1. Adjust each foot and, using a level, adjust the feet until the enclosure is level and plumb.

  2. If removed, install the front and rear doors, unless the enclosures are to be joined.

Joining Enclosures

Join enclosures with the provided brackets to provide alignment and some added stability. Enclosures may be joined with or without the side panels installed.

WARNING

TIP HAZARD

Joining enclosures provides limited stability. Make sure the leveling feet are down before joining.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

  1. Remove the front and rear doors, if necessary. See "Front Door Removal" on page 16 for more information.
  2. Choose between 24 in. centers or 600 mm centers (see detail view).

NOTE: If enclosures are joined on 24 in. centers, Schneider Electric offers baying trim (AR7600), to cover the gap between the enclosures. The trim can be installed after the units are joined together.

600 mm 24 in.

  1. Align the enclosures and join them, using two brackets in the front and two brackets in the rear.
  2. Enclosures are joined using a M5 x 12 countersunk flat head screw (provided in the hardware bag). Using the Phillips head end of the provided Torx® T30/#2 Phillips tool, or a similar tool, insert the screw into the designated hole and tighten.
  3. Install the doors. See "Front Door Installation" on page 14 and "2" on page 16 for more information.

Grounding the Enclosure

Each enclosure should be bonded directly to a common ground using one of the designated grounding locations (two M6 threaded inserts) at the top or bottom of the enclosure.

  • Use a Common Bonding Network Jumper kit (for example, Listed [KDER] Panduit® RGCBNJ660PY or equivalent).
  • Use paint-piercing washers between the ground terminal and the enclosure frame, or remove the paint on the frame under the ground terminals, per NEC NFPA 70 Article 250.12.
  • Torque the screws to 6.9 N·m (60 lb-in).

Equipment Installation

Vertical Mounting Rails

Technical diagram showing directional arrows and labeled components inside a 3D coordinate system, likely representing measurement or control systems.

Equipment is secured to the vertical mounting rails in the Colocation Enclosure.

Installing some equipment in a NetShelter SX Colocation Enclosure can require changing the position of the vertical mounting rails.

Vertical mounting flanges come factory-installed at 737 mm (29 in.). This position is intended for use with rack-mounted equipment.

The vertical mounting rails can be adjusted to be as close together as 191 mm (7.5 in.) or as far apart as 935 mm (36.8 in.), when the vertical 0U accessory channels have been removed.

WARNING

HAZARD OF FALLING EQUIPMENT

Remove all equipment installed on the vertical mounting flanges before performing any adjustments.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Adjust the Vertical Mounting Rails

NOTES:

  • Vertical mounting rails adjust in 12.7 mm (½ in.) increments.
  • Make sure the vertical mounting rails on both sides of the enclosures are adjusted to the same depth. Symbols on each side should match.

Install Rack-Mount Equipment in the Enclosure

WARNING

TIP HAZARD

  • This enclosure is easily tipped. Follow the precautions below during and after equipment installation.
  • Secure the enclosure to the floor before installing equipment.
    • Install the heaviest equipment first toward the bottom of the enclosure to prevent the enclosure from becoming top-heavy.
  • Do not extend equipment on sliding rails until you have installed 158 kg (350 lb) of equipment into the bottom of the enclosure for stability or until you have installed the stabilizer plate or bolt-down brackets. Do not extend more than one piece of equipment on sliding rails at a time.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Identify one U-space on the vertical mounting rail

Review the equipment manufacturer's installation instructions.

When installing equipment, locate the top and bottom of a U-space on the mounting rails. Every third hole on the mounting rails is numbered to indicate the middle of a U-space. A U-space consists of a numbered hole and the hole directly above and below, as shown.

Cage Nuts

Installation: Schneider Electric offers a cage nut hardware kit (AR8100) for use with square holes.

WARNING

HAZARD OF FALLING EQUIPMENT

Do NOT install cage nuts vertically with the ears engaging the top and bottom of the square hole. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Prohibition sign with crossed-out circle and circular symbol, indicating no prohibition or restriction

APC NetShelter SX AR3200 - HAZARD OF FALLING EQUIPMENT - 2

NOTE: Install cage nuts horizontally, with the ears engaging the sides of the square hole.

From inside of the enclosure, insert the cage nut into the square hole. Hook one ear of the cage nut assembly through the far side of the hole.

NOTE: Install the cage nuts on the interior of the vertical mounting rail.

Place the cage nut tool on the other side of the cage nut and pull to snap into position.

Removal: Remove any attached screw.

Grasp the cage nut and squeeze the sides to release it from the square hole.
