Frequently Asked Questions - SmartRack SRW6UG Tripp Lite

How to install the SmartRack SRW6UG rack on the wall?

First, attach the mounting plate to the wall using suitable fixings (not supplied). The mounting holes are spaced 40.6 cm apart to match standard studs. Then hang the rack on the three hooks of the plate, and secure it with the provided screws. Ensure the rack is level and firmly attached before installing equipment.

How to adjust the depth of the mounting rails?

Remove the two screws that secure each rail to the rack (top and bottom). Move the cage nuts to the desired depth (in 6 mm increments), then reattach the rails with the screws. Never adjust the rails if equipment is already installed.

How to install cage nuts into the rails?

Insert one tab of the cage nut into the square opening of the rail, from the inside. Press it against the side of the opening, then push the nut slightly so the second tab snaps into place. Both tabs must protrude on the outside of the rail. Use the black mounting screws and captive washers provided to secure equipment.

Can the front door be reversed?

Yes, the front door is reversible. To reverse it, remove it and reposition it on the opposite side of the rack. This allows adapting the opening to your installation setup.

How to access cables inside the rack?

On top of the enclosure there is a rectangular opening with a removable cover. Unscrew the cover to route cables, then screw it back on. This facilitates cable management while maintaining security.

How to ground the rack?

Use the threaded grounding point at the front or rear of the rack (marked with the earth symbol). Screw in an M6 screw (included) to connect an 8 AWG ground wire. Each rack must be individually grounded.

What is the maximum load capacity of this rack?

The rack can support up to 45 kg of installed equipment. Make sure to distribute the load evenly and place heavier equipment at the bottom.

How to maintain the SmartRack rack?

Store the rack in a controlled indoor environment, away from moisture, extreme temperatures, and dust. Clean the exterior with a dry cloth. Keep the original packaging for future transport if needed.

What to do if there is a problem with the rack?

First check the manual to verify installation. If the issue persists, visit www.tripplite.com/support to request an RMA (Return Material Authorization) number before returning the product. The 5-year limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.

Can I use the threaded holes instead of square holes on the rails?

Yes, the rails can be reversed to use the threaded hole side. Remove the rails, reverse them so the threaded side faces forward, then reattach. Use the silver mounting screws provided to secure equipment.

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.

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.

To unlock and remove the side panels, lift the shorter leg of the "L" up and pull it away from the side panel. 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 and push it toward the side panel, back into the hole that it was in initially. 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.

5.5 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.)

The 2 mounting rails are pre-installed to accommodate different mounting depths, depending 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.

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. For the actual weight, size and load capacity of the enclosure, view the product specifications and other support resources at www.tripplite.com/support.

1 Using user-supplied hardware, attach the mounting plate to a wall or other suitable mounting surface. Each mounting hole can accommodate an M8 or 5/16" bolt and the holes are spaced 16" apart to accommodate standard stud placement as reflected in the diagram. Note: When mounting the mounting plate to the wall, be sure the three mounting hooks are facing outwards and away from the wall.

2 After the mounting plate has been securely attached to the mounting surface, hang the enclosure's three mounting notches onto the three mounting hooks on the plate attached to the wall. The notches will fit over the hooks and the enclosure should slide down onto the hooks until secure. Note: Mounting notches exist on both the upper and lower rails of the back panel. This allows for mounting in the standard or reversed positions.

3 After the mounting plate has been secured and the enclosure hung properly, secure the enclosure to the mounting plate by installing the three supplied screws in the holes on the mounting hooks as shown.

7. Equipment Installation

Warning: Do not install equipment until you have stabilized the enclosure. Install heavier equipment first towards the bottom of the enclosure. Install equipment starting from the bottom of the enclosure and proceed 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.
