17NetShelter 24 U AV Enclosure Installation Manual
Installing Equipment
Warning: To prevent the enclosure from tipping over after equipment installation:
• Make sure you have secured the enclosure before installing equipment.
• Load the heaviest equipment first toward the bottom of the enclosure to prevent the
enclosure from becoming top-heavy.
• Do not extend equipment on sliding rails until you have installed three or more pieces of
similar-sized equipment or until you have installed the stabilizer plate or bolt-down
brackets.
• Do not extend more than one piece of equipment on sliding rails at a time.
Before getting started, make sure you have adjusted the vertical mounting rails as needed. To install
rack-mount equipment in the NetShelter AV Enclosure:
1. Review the equipment manufacturer’s installation instructions.
2. Locate the top and bottom U-space on the vertical mounting rails. Every third hole on the
mounting rails 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.
3. Install the equipment using the #10-32 screws (provided). See the manufacturer’s instructions
provided with the equipment for additional details.
