Vertical Mounting Flanges

Vertical mounting flanges come factory-installed on the enclosure in the proper position for use with rack-mountable equipment having a depth of

800 mm (31.5 in.). The front mounting flanges are adjustable towards the rear of the enclosure to accommodate different rails or equipment with other depths. The rear mounting flanges are adjustable towards the front.

The flanges can be adjusted to be as close as 120 mm (4.7 in.) or as far as 880 mm (34.6 in.) apart in 40 mm (1.5 in.) increments.

NOTE: If the front accessory channel is removed from the enclosure, the front rails can be adjusted forward 8 cm (3.14 in.).

A common application for the enclosure is to move the flanges to a depth of 476 mm (18.75 in.) to accommodate networking and telecommunications equipment.

Adjusting the vertical mounting flanges on the side braces

Perform this procedure without any equipment installed on the mounting flanges.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver (not provided) to remove the screws in the vertical mounting flange.

2. Move the pre-installed caged nuts to the desired

 location, then reposition the vertical mounting flange to this position and install the screws.

NetShelter CX Enclosure Installation and Customization 13

Rack Mount Equipment Installation

This section provides information on how to install rack-mount equipment in the enclosure. The manufacturer’s instructions included with the equipment provide more detailed information.

One U-space on the vertical mounting flange

To install rack-mount 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.

A U-space consists of one of these numbered holes and one hole directly above and below it, as shown.

Cage nut installation

Schneider Electric offers a cage nut hardware kit (AR8100) for use with square holes.

CAUTION

HAZARD OF FALLING EQUIPMENT

Never install cage nuts vertically with the ears engaging the top and bottom of the square hole. This will result in insecure mounting for rack-mounted equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

1. Install cage nuts on the interior of the vertical mounting flange. Install cage nuts horizontally, with the ears engaging the sides of the square hole. Insert the cage nut into the square hole by hooking one ear of the cage nut assembly through the far side of the hole.

2. Place the cage nut tool (not provided) on the other side of the cage nut and pull to snap it into position.

Cage nut removal

1. Remove any attached screw.

2. Grasp the cage nut and squeeze the sides to release it from the square hole.

Equipment Planning Guidelines

Please note the following guidelines for proper installation and operation of hardware in a NetShelter CX

Enclosure.

Avoid clustering hot-running equipment such as servers, dense redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID), and large voice-over-internetprotocol (VOIP) switches in one part of the enclosure. Distribute the thermal load evenly up and down the enclosure such that each fan module supports an equal amount of the thermal load.

Each fan module has a triangular metal section which protrudes slightly into the enclosure. This does not create an issue for installation of most equipment, but to allow for ample cabling space to the rear of the enclosure, deep servers should be installed in the enclosure space above and below these triangular metal protrusions.

NetShelter CX Enclosure Installation and Customization 15

Internal Enclosure Dimensions

The fan module creates a triangular protrusion which reduces the internal depth of the enclosure at that point.

The depth of your equipment should be considered to ensure room for cables and for adequate air circulation.

Deep servers should be moved above or below the protrusions.
