Level the Cabinet
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
When installing the doors, remember to reconnect all ground and other connection wires.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: The leveling feet of the cabinet provide a stable base on an uneven floor. They cannot
compensate for a badly sloped surface.
1. Ensure the cabinet is in its intended location. Remove the front and rear doors.
See “Door removal” on page 13 for more information.
NOTE: Before removing the front door, disconnect the ground wires and any other wire
connections that may interfere with the removal of the doors.
2. Insert a Phillips head screwdriver
into the screw above the leveling
foot. Turn the screw to the right to
extend the leveling foot until it makes
firm contact with the floor.
NOTES:
– This method works best with an
empty, or near empty cabinet.
– If the cabinet is loaded with
equipment, a
13 mm open ended wrench can
also be used to lower the leveling
feet.
– Door removal is not required if
using the 13 mm open-ended
wrench.
ns1632b
3. Adjust each foot and, using a level, adjust the feet until the cabinet is level and plumb.
4. If desired, join the cabinets. See “Join the Cabinets” on page 8.
5. If desired, install the front and rear doors. See “Door installation” on page 14.

WARNING
TIP HAZARD
Joining cabinets provides limited stability to the cabinets. Secure the cabinet to the floor
before installing equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
When installing the doors, remember to reconnect all ground and other connection wires.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Join two or more cabinets together using the supplied joining hardware. Joining cabinets together may
assist in alignment and provide limited increased stability.
NOTE: Cabinets can be joined with or without side panels installed.
1. Make sure that the leveling feet are down and the cabinets are level. See “Level the Cabinet” on
page 7.
2. Remove the front and rear doors, if applicable. See “Door removal” on page 13 for more
information.
3. Locate the joining brackets. Choose between 24 in centers or 600 mm centers (see the detail
view below).

Ground the Cabinet
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
The cabinet must be connected to the building Common Bonding Network (CBN).
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Each cabinet should be bonded directly to a common ground using one of the designated grounding
locations (two M6 threaded inserts) at the bottom of the cabinet.
• Use a Common Bonding Network Jumper kit (for example, Listed [KDER] Panduit®
RGCBNJ660PY or equivalent).
• Use paint-piercing washers between ground terminal and cabinet frame or remove paint on frame
under ground terminals per NEC NFPA 70 Article 250.12.
• Torque screws to 6.9 N•m (60 lb-in).
• Do not ground cabinets in a cascading style.
ns1617b
NOTE: If needed, additional functional grounding points
are available at the top of the cabinet. Do not connect
the building CBN to these functional grounding points.

Equipment Installation
NOTE: NetShelter SX cabinets are intended for use with Listed equipment. Carefully evaluate the safety
of any configuration using un-Listed equipment.
Vertical Mounting Rails
Equipment is secured to the vertical mounting rails. The
installation of some equipment may require adjusting the
position of the vertical mounting rails.
The vertical mounting rails can be moved towards the front or
rear of the cabinet to accommodate different rails or equipment
of various depths.
Default depth of factory installed vertical mounting rails:
• 1 070 mm (42.13 in) deep cabinet: 558.8 mm (22 in)
• 1 200 mm (47.24 in) deep cabinet: 749.3 mm (29.5 in)
The minimum rail depth is 279.4 mm (11 in). The maximum rail
depth is as follows:
• 1 070 mm (42.13 in) deep cabinet: 819 mm (32.25 in)
• 1 200 mm (47.24 in) deep cabinet: 959 mm (37.75 in)

3. Lower the three flat brackets, which
unlock the vertical mounting rail, and
slide the vertical mounting rail to the
desired location.
4. Locate the visible symbol (in the
illustration, a diamond), along the
vertical mounting rail. To align the
vertical mounting rail, make sure the
same symbol is visible through all
three corresponding holes.
NOTE: In the factory-standard
position, diamonds are visible.
ns0717c
NOTE: Vertical mounting rails adjust in 6 mm
(1/4 in) increments.
5. Ensure all vertical mounting rails have
the same visible symbol.

6. When the vertical mounting rail is aligned
(top, middle, and bottom), raise the flat
bracket until the teeth in the bracket engage
fully with the teeth in the side brace. Then
tighten the screws, locking the rail in place.
Install Equipment in the Cabinet
WARNING
TIP HAZARD
• This cabinet is easily tipped. Follow all tipping precautions during and after equipment installation.
• Secure the cabinet to the floor before installing equipment.
• Install the heaviest equipment first toward the bottom of the cabinet to prevent the cabinet from
becoming top heavy.
• Do not extend equipment on sliding rails until minimum of 158 kg (350 lbs) of equipment is
installed into the bottom of the cabinet. Alternately, the stabilizer plate or bolt-down brackets can
also be installed. Do not extend more than one piece of equipment on sliding rails at a time.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
ns0719c
Identify one U-space on the vertical mounting rail
• Review the equipment manufacturer’s installation instructions.
• When installing equipment, locate the top and bottom of a U-space on
the mounting rails.
• Every third hole on the mounting rails is numbered to indicate the
middle of a U-space.
• A U-space consists of a numbered hole, and the hole immediately
above and below it, as shown.

Airflow Management
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper airflow can damage installed components. Verify that the system provides the
specified airflow for installed components.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Foam airflow management panels assist in maintaining the required airflow. The panels install toollessly
and direct airflow by covering empty vertical cabinet space.
Foam Airflow Management Panel Installation
Install airflow management panels in the channel along the right vertical mounting rail next to inactive
equipment such as patch panels, as seen below. 1 U and 3 U panels help isolate hot air and
prevent it from entering the cold aisle. The left side of the cabinet does not require panels.
NOTES:
• The networking switch air intake areas
and the side airflow duct kit inlets must
remain unobstructed to ensure proper
airflow into the networking switches .
• Install the airflow management panels
before installing any cabling.

Cable Routing and Cable Management
The NetShelter SX Networking Cabinet has cable access openings on its roof, sides, and bottom.
Four vertical cable managers and two Vertical 0 U accessory channels are included with the cabinet and
offer a variety of other cable management accessories.
Vertical 0 U Accessory Channels
The vertical 0 U accessory channels provide toolless mounting capabilities for Rack Power Distribution
Units (PDUs), cable containment brackets, and cable tie-off locations.
The factory-default position for the vertical 0 U accessory channels is in the rear of the cabinet.
You can position the vertical accessory channels anywhere along the side braces or remove them
completely. Adjustment is similar to adjusting the vertical mounting rails (see “Adjust the Vertical
Mounting Rails” on page 18).
Additional vertical 0 U accessory channels are available for order.
Vertical Cable Managers
Remove vertical cable managers for cable routing purposes.
Re-install vertical cable managers on the vertical 0 U accessory channels.
