Rack-free installation
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment in a rack-free
environment:
• Never stack the enclosure on top of another enclosure.
• Never place equipment on top of the enclosure.
• Never place the enclosure on a surface that cannot support up to 217.7 kg (480 lb).
To set up the enclosure in a rack-free environment:
1. Select the location for the enclosure. For more information, see "Rack-free environment requirements (on
page 8)."
2. Disassemble the enclosure ("Disassembling the enclosure" on page 21).
3. Place the enclosure on a flat, sturdy surface to support the enclosure.
4. Install the rear cage into the enclosure. ("Installing the rear cage into the enclosure" on page 28)
Rack installation
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack.
Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
NOTE: Up to four 10U enclosures can be installed in a 42U rack. If you are installing more than
one enclosure, install the first enclosure in the bottom of the rack, and then install additional
enclosures by moving up the rack with each subsequent enclosure. Plan rack installation carefully
because it is difficult to change the location of components after they are installed.
To install an enclosure into the rack:
1. Disassemble the enclosure ("Disassembling the enclosure" on page 21).
