Unpacking Unpacking the enclosure Heavy: Use at least two people to unpack the enclosure. Warning: To prevent the enclosure from tipping over after installation: • Stabilize the enclosure before installing the components. See “Rack stabilization options” on page 9. • Do not extend components on sliding rails out from the enclosure until you have installed three or more pieces of similar equipment, or the stabilizer plate or bolt-down brackets are installed. See “Rack stabilization options” on page 9.
5. With one person on each side of the enclosure, carefully roll it toward the rear of the pallet until the rear casters clear the back edge of the pallet. Continue to slide the enclosure rearward until the rear casters touch the floor. 6. While one person carefully tips the enclosure slightly away from the pallet, have the other person pull the pallet away from the enclosure. Set the enclosure gently on its casters. Note: Save the pallet if you plan to reship the enclosure. 7.
Moving the enclosure Casters. The enclosure can be moved on its casters with up to 1021 kg (2,250 lbs) of equipment installed. Push the enclosure from the front or the back, not the sides; it may be unstable when pushed from the side. For greater stability, load 159 kg (350 lbs) or more of equipment into the enclosure before moving it on its casters. Eye bolts. If lifting of the enclosure is necessary, this can be done by attaching eye bolts (not included) to the top of the enclosure frame.
Configuration Before installing the enclosure, plan the location and space needed to install equipment, and plan the ergonomics of keyboards and video monitors. The Rack Configurator, available on the APC Web site, www.apc.com, helps you plan your configuration to maximize the available U-space of your enclosures.

Vertical Mounting Flanges Vertical mounting flanges come factory-installed on the enclosure in the proper position for use with rack-mountable equipment that has a depth of 737 mm (29 in). The mounting flanges are adjustable towards the front or the rear of the enclosure to accommodate different rails or equipment with other depths. The flanges on a 600-mm enclosure can be adjusted to be as close as 191 mm (7.50 in) or as far as 935 mm (36.80 in) apart.
Adjusting the vertical mounting flanges on the side braces Warning: To avoid personal injury or damage to the enclosure, perform this procedure without any equipment installed on the mounting flanges. 1. Use the Torx T30/#2 Phillips wrench (provided) to loosen—but not remove—the Torx screws in the slots of each mounting flange. 600-mm enclosure 750-mm enclosure 2. Lower the flat bracket and move the mounting flange to the desired location.
3. To align the vertical mounting flanges properly, note the symbol (for example, the diamond) visible through the one of the holes on the top of the flange, and ensure that the same symbol is visible through the corresponding hole at the bottom of the flange. Only one symbol is visible at a time through any of the holes. In the factory-standard position, the circles are visible through two of the holes. On the 750-mm rack there are circles 476 mm (18.
Installation accessories To install equipment that has a different mounting depth from the other equipment in the enclosure, use the appropriate APC Recessed Rail Kit.
ns0814a A replacement rail kit (AR7510) of four mounting rails which accommodates 23-in rack mountable equipment in 42 U 750-mm enclosures is also available for the AR3150 and AR3350 enclosures.
Installing Equipment This section provides information on how to install rack-mount equipment in the NetShelter SX enclosure. The instructions provided with the equipment provide more detailed information. Identifying one U-space on the vertical mounting flange When installing equipment, locate the top and bottom of a U-space on the mounting flanges. Every third hole on the mounting flanges of a NetShelter enclosure is numbered to indicate the middle of a U-space.
Grounding The doors, side panels, and roof of the enclosure are grounded to the enclosure frame. The doors are grounded with quick-disconnect cables. The roof and side panels are inherently grounded through spring fingers. Each enclosure should be grounded directly to the building ground using one of the grounding nuts at the base of the enclosure. ns0905a Ground each enclosure directly to the building ground. Do not ground one enclosure to another enclosure in a cascading style.
Equipment with side airflow requirements For enclosures storing equipment that requires side airflow, the vertical mounting flange factory-installed cable cutout covers need to be removed and repositioned to the rear of the enclosure. 1. Determine which side of the enclosure is the air intake side for the equipment. 2. Remove the cable cutout covers from the front vertical mounting flange of the air intake side of the enclosure. 3.
Cable Management The NetShelter SX enclosure has multiple cable access openings, including the roof, sides, and bottom. Two vertical cable organizers are included with the enclosure, and APC offers a variety of other cable management accessories.

NetShelter SX air recirculation prevention kit AR7708 Maintains proper airflow if the front vertical mounting flanges are moved to the rear of the enclosure.
Joining Enclosures Joining the Enclosures You can expand your installation by joining two enclosures together. All enclosures include pre-installed joining hardware. Caution: Joining enclosures together does not provide additional stability to the enclosures. Note: NetShelter SX enclosures can be joined with or without side panels installed. 1. Remove the front doors from the enclosures if necessary. See “Removing the doors” on page 13. 2.
3. The 600-mm enclosures can be joined so that their centers are 24 in or 600 mm apart. Align the enclosures to use the appropriate holes on the front and rear of the enclosures for the spacing you need and secure the enclosures using one M5 x 12 flat-head screw per bracket. 4. If 600-mm enclosures are joined together on 24-in centers, there is a gap between them. APC offers optional baying trim (AR7600) to cover the gap between the enclosures.
Removing the Doors of Joined Enclosures If enclosures are joined together, the door removal process is slightly different than on a single enclosure. Follow these steps to remove either a front or rear door from an enclosure that is joined to another enclosure. 1. Open the door you wish to remove to a 90 degree angle. The door will not open any farther than this because of the enclosure next to it. 2. Lift the door upward. 3.
