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.
• For permanent wall mounting, be sure to securely fasten the enclosure to the building structure before operation.
• 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.
• Do not reship the enclosure with additional equipment unless the enclosure was shipped with a special shock pallet ("SP1" models only). The combined weight of the enclosure and installed equipment must not exceed the load capacity of the pallet. Tripp Lite is not responsible for any damage that occurs during reshipment.
• 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

Swinging wall-mounted SmartRack enclosures accommodate all standard 19-inch rackmount equipment, regardless of vendor, and ship fully assembled for quick and easy deployment. They feature adaptable, heavy-duty cabinets in various heights. All models have a hinged design that lets the cabinet swing away from the wall bracket for easy equipment access.

Swinging wall-mounted SmartRack enclosures have variable mounting depths, ideal for servers. The cabinets include quick-release doors and side panels for convenient maintenance. Front access doors are reversible for installation flexibility. Front door and side panels are lockable. An optional rolling caster kit (SRCASTER) is available for easy maneuvering of enclosures.

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 several tools:

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

You also need the following hardware:

- Appropriate hardware for wall 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.

4.3 Ground Connection

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

A EARTH GROUND

5. Enclosure Configuration

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

5.1 Door Locks

The front and back doors have locks that are accessible by the included keys.

Each side panel locks using an L-shaped lever on the inside of the enclosure.

1 To unlock and remove the side panels, lift the shorter leg of the "L" up A and pull it away from the side panel B. Pull the tab on the side panel and remove it from the enclosure.
2 To re-lock the side panels, secure it in the proper position, lift the shorter leg of the "L" up A and push it toward the side panel, back into the hole that it was in initially B. Once it is in place, push the shorter leg of the "L" down to lock it. Note: To lock and unlock the side panels, you will need to have access to the interior of the enclosure.

5.4 Mounting Rails

The enclosure comes with mounting rails that have both square and tapped holes for mounting rack equipment. To install equipment, use the included cage nuts and other hardware. (See section 7.1 for installation of cage nuts.) Warning: Be sure to have the enclosure securely mounted to the wall, or in its final position on the floor, before mounting any equipment inside. Also be sure to have all the right adjustments on your rails before mounting equipment. (See below for Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth.)

5.5 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. (2 per rail.)

Depending on the model, either two or four mounting rails will be pre-installed in the cabinet. The preset mounting depth varies based on the model. 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 1/4-inch (6mm) increments.

1 Each rail is connected to the enclosure with 2 screws and 2 cage nuts: 1 set 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 Move cage nuts to the desired depth and reinstall.
3 Slide the mounting rails to the desired depth and reattach them using the screws you removed in Step 1.

6. Wall Mounting the Enclosure

Warning: Do not attempt to mount the enclosure to the wall with equipment in the enclosure.

6.1 Mounting

The number of keyhole cutouts on the back door of the enclosure will vary based on your model. Each keyhole can accommodate an M8, M10, 5/16" or 3/8" bolt. The holes are centered 16" apart horizontally to accommodate the standard placement of wall studs. The vertical distance between the holes will vary based on your model.

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. A minimum of four fasteners and appropriately-sized fender washers is recommended. 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. For the actual weight, size and load capacity of the enclosure, view the product specifications and other support resources at www.triplite.com/support.

Your model's keyhole configuration may be different.

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 unit comes with two different kinds of screws for equipment installation, black and silver. Use the black mounting screws if you are securing your equipment to the square hole side of the mounting rail. Use the silver screws if you are securing your equipment to the tapped hole side of the mounting rail.

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 of your equipment.

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.
