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.
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 can use the casters to move the enclosure for a short distance over a level, smooth, stable surface by pushing it from the front or rear (not the
side panels). Do not attempt to roll the enclosure over long distances. The enclosure should be moved close to its installation location inside its
shipping container before it is unpacked.
Warning: Use appropriate equipment and follow all applicable safety procedures and regulations.
You need several tools:
• Level
• 10 mm Open-End or Combination Wrench (2)
• 14 mm Open-End or Combination Wrench
• Phillips-Head Screwdriver
Use at least two people to unpack the enclosure.
Warning: Never attempt to lift or install without adequate help.
Do not try lifting the enclosure alone.

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 off of the pallet and place on a firm, level surface.

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.
1
Installing Casters
Tripp Lite’s accessory SRCASTER kit is included with your rack enclosure. This kit consists of 4
casters with required locknuts, washers and bolts for installation. Using two 10 mm open-end or
combination wrenches, install the casters to the base of the unit using the pre-drilled holes near
each
corner of the enclosure.
2
Installing Levelers
There are 4 levelers included with your rack enclosure, 2 for the front and 2 for the rear. Using a 14
mm open-end wrench, install the levelers at the base of the unit using the threaded holes near
each corner of the enclosure by turning the leveler in counter-clockwise. When the rack enclosure is
moved to its installation location, use a 14mm open-end wrench to level the rack.
