Frequently Asked Questions - RE2PRMK45U140B EATON

What is the weight capacity of the Eaton RE2PRMK45U140B rack?

The exact weight capacity is not specified in the manual, but the rack is designed for heavy electronic equipment. It must be bolted to the floor to prevent tipping. Ensure floor load capacity is adequate.

How do I assemble the 2-post rack frame?

Lay the vertical mounting rails on a flat surface with open sides facing each other, approximately 450mm apart. Attach bottom and top angles using M8 bolts and washers, finger tighten, then repeat on the other side. Stand upright, square, and tighten all fixings to 12 Nm. Secure bottom angles to floor.

Is grounding necessary for this rack?

Yes, the rack must be earth bonded to the building electrical system. Use the provided earth bonding hole and serrated nut and bolt kit with a pre-terminated earth wire, tightened to 12 Nm.

Can I mount a PDU in this rack?

Yes, the rack includes bracket assemblies for PDU and cable basket. These brackets can be mounted to the vertical mounting rail or to the 19-inch rail using cage nuts.

How do I install the vertical cable manager?

With the rack bolted to the floor, two people are required. One holds the cable manager against the frame while the other passes M10 bolts through the obround slots and secures with washers and full nuts. Tighten to 12 Nm. Repeat on the opposite side.

What are the dimensions of the rack?

The rack is designed for 19-inch equipment and has a height of approximately 45U (79.3 inches). The exact depth and width are not specified, but it is a 2-post open frame configuration.

How many adjustable cable spools are included?

Each kit includes 5 adjustable cable spools. Each spool uses 2 M5 thumb nuts for attachment to the vertical rail.

Can I use a cable basket wider than 300mm?

The manual only specifies a 300mm cable basket. For 100mm or 200mm baskets, you need to order additional bracket assemblies (RE2PRCBPDUBA).

What safety precautions should I take during installation?

Always stabilize the rack by bolting to the floor before loading equipment. Load heaviest items at the bottom. Ensure floor load capacity is sufficient. Ground the rack before connecting power. Use only equipment compliant with IEC 60950.

1. SAFETY WARNINGS

This manual contains important instructions that you should follow during installation and maintenance of the RE 2 Post Rack system. Please read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future reference.

1. WARNING! RE 2 Post Rack components can be very heavy. When lifting heavy components or electronic equipment, ensure that all safety regulations are observed.
2. WARNING! The enclosure must be stabilized (bolted to floor) before installing any accessory, component or electronic device. Failure to stabilize prior to installing equipment may cause the enclosure to tip over.
3. WARNING! First, load the heaviest electronic devices and accessories into the bottom of the rack to prevent the rack from becoming top-heavy and ensure the 19" equipment is evenly loaded front to back in the RE 2 Post Rack (see diagram below);

Two identical vertical metal frame structures with a green checkmark and red X mark, no text or symbols present.

1. WARNING! It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the floor has a structural load capacity that will safety bear the weight of the RE 2 Post Rack and installed components.
2. WARNING! There must be an uninterruptable safety earth ground from the main power source to the Power Distribution Unit's PDU (if fitted) power cord set. Whenever it is likely that ground has been impaired, disconnect the PDU's power cord until the ground has been restored.
3. WARNING! High leakage current may be present. Grounding connection essential before connecting supply.
4. WARNING! Rack is intended to be used with equipment complying with IEC 60950. Use with non-compliant equipment may result in electrical hazard.
5. WARNING! The installer is responsible for grounding the RE 2 Post Rack to the building electrical system. Additional equipment can be electronically bonded to the rack's frame using additional grounding points and appropriate fixings.
