1. Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This Manual contains instructions and warnings that must be followed during the installation and operation of the product described in this manual. Failure to comply may invalidate the warranty and cause property damage or personal injury.

• Keep the enclosure in a controlled indoor environment, away from moisture, temperature extremes, flammable liquids and gasses, conductive contaminants, dust and direct sunlight.
• Leave adequate space at the front and rear of the enclosure for proper ventilation. Do not block, cover or insert objects into the external ventilation openings of the enclosure.
• The enclosure is extremely heavy. Use caution when handling the enclosure. Do not attempt to unpack, move or install it unassisted. Use a mechanical device such as a forklift or pallet jack to move the enclosure in the shipping container.
• Do not place any object on the enclosure, especially containers of liquid, and do not attempt to stack the enclosures.
• Inspect the shipping container and the enclosure for shipping damage. Do not use the enclosure if it is damaged.
• Leave the enclosure in the shipping container until it has been moved as close to the final installation location as possible.
  • Install the enclosure in a structurally sound area capable of handling the load, or on a level floor that is able to bear the weight of the enclosure, all equipment that will be installed in the enclosure and any other enclosures and/or equipment that will be installed nearby.
• Use caution when cutting packing materials. The enclosure could be scratched, causing damage not covered by the warranty.
• Save all packing materials for later use. Repacking and shipping the enclosure without the original packing materials may cause product damage that will void the warranty.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

2. Overview

Low-Profile Wall-Mount SmartRack Enclosures provide convenient and secure vertical mounting for standard 19-inch rackmount equipment, regardless of vendor, and ship fully assembled for quick and easy deployment in areas previously considered impossible for placement. Using a modular design that easily assembles and disassembles, the enclosures support 8U (SRWF12U38) or 12U (SRWF16U38) of vertically mounted equipment up to 38 inches deep and 4U of patch panels. Both units support up to 400 lb. maximum weight.

4 Preparation

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. Be sure to follow all handling and installation instructions. Do not attempt to install equipment without first stabilizing the enclosure.

4.1. Unpacking

Use at least two people to unpack the enclosure.

1 Move shipping box to a firm, level surface.
2 Open box and remove the corner protectors. Save all packing materials for later use unless 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.

4.2. Disassembly

5. Installation

The enclosure installation area must be able to withstand the weight of the enclosure and all mounted equipment. Refer to the Specifications section for enclosure model weight and capacity.

5.1. Mounting the Backplate

Mounting the Backplate to a Wall

Note: If the installation requires running cables through a wall, first remove one or both of the cable access panels prior to mounting the Backplate.

For Stud Mount

Locate solid studs, 16" on center, before marking top two locations for pilot holes. Drill #22 (0.157" or 4 mm) pilot holes, then drive two (2) M10, 5/16" or 3/8 x 2.0" long (minimum) bolts (not included) into the Backplate slots, spaced nominally at 16" at the top. Tighten the first two bolts A, and then drill holes for the remaining two (2) M10, 5/16" or 3/8" bolts into the bottom corners of the backplate B. Use a minimum of four (4) locations for full payload rating of 400 lb.

For Other Surfaces

When installing to other surfaces, drive toggle bolts into a 3/4" plywood-backed wall or fender washers and concrete tapping screws (3/16" x 2-1/4" minimum) into cinder block.

WARNING

• When installing wall mounts onto a concrete masonry unit (also known as a CMU or "cinder block"), verify that the actual concrete thickness is at least 35 mm (1 3/8") in order to hold the concrete anchors. DO NOT DRILL INTO MORTAR JOINTS! Be sure to mount Backplate onto solid sections of the blocks. The solid sections can generally be found 25 mm (1") toward the middle of the block from either end. An electric drill on a slow setting is suggested to drill the hole rather than a hammer drill, so as to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a hollow section.
  • Installers must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware and components.

2-Post Rack-Mount Installation

The SRWF12U38 and SRWF16U38 are also designed for 2-post rack mounting. To attach, drive #12-24 screws (not included) through the Backplate into the corresponding 2-post mounting holes. Use a minimum of 10 locations for full payload rating of 400 lb.

5.2. Unit and Equipment Installation

1 Side Panel Installation

After ensuring the Backplate is securely fastened to the wall or 2-post rack, install the Side Panels by inserting the Side Panel hooks into the rectangular cutouts in the Backplate. Apply downward pressure to properly seat the panels A.

Notes: The smooth surface of the Side Panels should face away from one another.

All Side Panel hooks must be engaged for proper assembly.

After the Side Panels are seated, the top surface will be flush with the internal 2U flanges in the Backplate. The bottom of the Side Panels will be flush with the Backplate bottom. Two holes for each Side Panel will align. Use four (4) supplied #12-24 screws for the two holes located in each Side Panel B. Ensure all screws are firmly secured to the Backplate.

2 Vent Tray Installation

Slide the Vent Tray into the side panels' bottom slots. The right-angle flanges of the Vent Tray should face upward toward the cabinet's interior.

5. Installation

3 Front Panel Installation

Insert the Front Panel hooks into the rectangular cutouts in the Side Panels. All hooks must be engaged for proper assembly. Apply downward pressure to properly seat the panel. Secure the Front Panel using (2) #6-32 Locking Screws.

Before installing the first piece of equipment, make sure to temporarily install the Front Panel. This allows uniform spacing of the Side Panels, squares and aligns the cabinet, and ensures proper seating of the locking cover. After the first piece of equipment is securely installed, the Front Panel and Vent Tray can once again be removed to install any remaining equipment.

4 Equipment Installation

With user-supplied standard rack hardware (#12-24 screws), vertically mount up to 8U (SRWF12U38) or 12U (SRWF16U38) of network equipment A, and up to 4U of patch panels horizontally B.

5 Cover Installation

Place cover onto the Side Panels and slide toward the Backplate. When properly seated, the cover should be flush against the Backplate and level with the top of the Backplate. The cover may then be locked with either of the two (2) keys provided.

6. Enclosure Configuration

6.1. Cable Access and Management

The top, bottom and sides of the cabinet contain rectangular openings (four total) for cable access and management. These can be opened or closed by unscrewing or screwing the removable cable access panel.

For improved cooling efficiency and a cleaner installation appearance, all cable access holes are compatible with Tripp Lite's SRBRUSHWM Brush Strip Plate accessory. The brush strip plate securely fits into the cable routing panel to block unwanted airflow. For more information, visit www.tripplite.com.

6.2. Ground Connection

All parts of the enclosure are grounded to the frame. Use the enclosure's front or rear threaded grounding point and an M6 screw to connect the frame directly to your facility's earth ground connection with an 8 AWG (3.264 mm) wire. Warning: Attach each enclosure to earth ground separately. Do not use the enclosure without an earth ground connection.
