2. Overview

Your Security DVR Lockbox Enclosure is an all-in-one solution for securely storing and cooling a digital video recorder (DVR) device. Using a compact 6U housing, this unit can be conveniently mounted to walls as well as be configured for tabletop or floor placement. To prevent theft and device tampering, the SRDVRLB model comes equipped with a locking door that overlaps the enclosure's top panel and sides. For optimal system performance, a pre-installed cooling fan with air filter increases cool airflow inside and restricts incoming dust and airborne particulates.

4. Enclosure Installation

Caution! Read All Instructions and Warnings Before Installation!

Warning: Rack enclosures can be extremely heavy. Do not attempt to unpack, move or install the enclosure without assistance. Use extreme caution when handling the enclosure and be sure to follow all handling and installation instructions. Do not attempt to install equipment without first stabilizing the enclosure.

4.1 Preparation

The enclosure must be installed in a structually sound area that is able to bear the weight of the enclosure, all the equipment that will be installed in the enclosure and any other enclosures and/or equipment that will be installed nearby. Before unpacking the enclosure, you should transport the shipping container closer to the final installation location to minimize the distance you will need to move the unit after the protective packaging has been removed. If you plan to store the enclosure for an extended period before installation, follow the instructions in the Storage and Service section.

You need the following tools:

• Level
  • Phillips-head Screwdriver
• Appropriate tools for wall mounting

You also need the following hardware:

• Appropriate hardware for wall mounting or tabletop/floor mounting (not included)

4.2 Unpacking

Use at least two people to unpack the enclosure.

1 Move shipping pallet to a firm, level surface.
2 Open box and remove the four foam corner protectors. Save all packing materials for later use unless you are certain they will not be required. Packing materials are recyclable.
3 With one person on each side, carefully lift the enclosure out of the box and place on a firm, level surface.
4 Examine the enclosure for any damage or loose parts. Confirm all parts are present. If anything is missing or damaged, contact Tripp Lite for assistance. Do not attempt to use the enclosure if it has been damaged.

Never extend more than one component from the enclosure at a time.

Warning: Never attempt to lift or install without adequate help. Do not try lifting the enclosure alone.

5. Enclosure Configuration

Before installation, plan the location and arrangement of components within the enclosure. Make sure all mounting rails are reversed or adjusted for depth, depending on your equipment configuration.

5.1 Door Locks

The front door contains a lock that is accessible with the included keys.

1 Before attempting to close and lock the front door, first ensure that the top panel's notches are secured within the rear panel slots. Then gently place the top panel over the enclosure frame.

2 Once the top panel is secured, swing the front door up. The front door will overlap the top panel and the enclosure's left and right sides. Use an included key to lock the door.

5.2 Cable Access and Management

The rear and bottom of the enclosure has two circular holes per side for cable access and management. To uncover a cable access hole, simply pop out the desired cap.

5.3 Mounting Rails

The enclosure comes with mounting rails with square holes for 19" rackmount-compatible DVR equipment. To install your DVR, use the included cage nuts and other device hardware (see 7.1 Installing or Removing Cage Nuts section for more information). Warning: Be sure to have the enclosure securely mounted to the wall, tabletop or floor before mounting any equipment inside. Also be sure to have all the right adjustments on your rails before mounting equipment (see Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth section for more information).

5. Enclosure Configuration continued

5.4 Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth

Warning: Do not attempt to adjust rails while equipment is installed in the enclosure. Do not attempt to use rails without screws installed (two per rail).

The two mounting rails are pre-installed to accommodate equipment with a mounting depth of 16.25 inches (412 mm). Do not adjust the mounting rails unless your equipment requires a different mounting depth. The front and rear sets of rails can be adjusted independently in 1-inch (25 mm) increments for mounting depths between 1 inch (25 mm) and 16 inches (406 mm).

1 Each rail is connected to the enclosure with two screws: one in the upper corner and another in the lower corner. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws that fasten the rails to the enclosure.
2 Slide the mounting rails to the desired depth and reattach them using the screws you removed in Step 1.

6. Mounting the Enclosure

6.1 Wall Mounting

Warning: The enclosure supports 60 lb. (27 kg) of total equipment weight. Install the cross support brace inside the enclosure for heavy equipment installations. Do not attempt to mount the enclosure to the wall with equipment in the enclosure.

Note: Enclosure must be installed by a qualified technician. Before mounting, use a level and tape measure to position your mounting area precisely. Use appropriate fasteners (not included) to secure the enclosure to the wall. Use suitable mounting means when installing to cinder block, concrete, drywall or wood studs. Warning: The supporting surface must be able to safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware and components.

1 There are two keyhole slots and two support mounting holes on the back of the enclosure. Each keyhole can accommodate an M8 or 5/16" bolt. The holes are spaced 16" (406 mm) apart horizontally and 5.9" (150 mm) apart vertically, as shown in the diagram.

Note: The below wall-mounting instructions and diagrams are for mounting into wood studs. For solid or hollow wall-mounting, first check that any anchors used are capable of supporting the weight of the enclosure and its contents.

2 Using a tape measure and level, identify the wall location you want to position your enclosure and mark two mounting holes 16" (406 mm) apart. Then insert two M8 or 5/16" bolts into the mounting hole markings. Upon inserting the hardware, make sure to leave a 1/8" (3.18 mm) space between the bolt head and the wall.

3 With the help of an assistant or mechanical lifting device, hang the enclosure's keyholes onto the bolts attached to the wall. The keyholes will fit over the bolts and the enclosure should slide down until secure. Tighten the bolts once it is determined that the enclosure is safely supported.

4 Secure the enclosure to the wall by fastening two user-supplied M8 or 5/16" bolts through the support mounting holes.

7. Equipment Installation

Warning: Do not install equipment until you have stabilized the enclosure. Install heavier equipment first and install it towards the bottom of the enclosure. Install equipment starting from the bottom of the enclosure and proceeding toward the top of the enclosure - never the reverse. If using sliding equipment rails, be careful when extending the rails. Do not extend more than one set of sliding equipment rails at one time. Avoid extending sliding equipment rails near the top of the enclosure.

Note: The square holes in the middle of each rack unit are numbered and also include a small notch to aid identification. A single rack unit includes the space occupied by the numbered hole and the holes directly above and below.

7.1 Installing or Removing Cage Nuts

WARNING: The flanges of the cage nuts should engage the sides of the square opening in the rail, not the top and bottom. Follow the instructions in your equipment documentation to ensure proper installation.

1 Locate the numbered square openings in the mounting rails where you plan to install your equipment. You will install cage nuts (included) into the square openings in order to provide an attachment point for the mounting screws (included). Note: Consult your equipment documentation to determine how many cage nuts will be required and where they will need to be installed.
2 From the inside of the mounting rail, insert one of the flanges of the cage nut through the square opening. Press it against the side of the square opening. Each flange should engage one side of the square opening, not the top or bottom.
3 Compress the cage nut at the sides slightly to allow the remaining flange to fit through the square opening. When the cage nut is properly installed, both flanges will protrude through the square opening and will be visible on the outer surface of the mounting rail. Repeat steps 1-3 until all required cage nuts are installed.
4 After installing the required cage nuts, use the included black mounting screws and cup washers to secure your equipment to the rack rail. Place the cup washers between the screws and the equipment mounting brackets.

Note: Your equipment may also include mounting hardware. Read the mounting instructions that came with your equipment before installing your equipment.

To Remove Cage Nuts, Reverse Steps 1-3

Note: You may wish to use a cage nut tool (user-supplied) to aid cage nut installation and removal.
