Distribution Cabinet was shipped in an export crate, open the shipping crate
2.1.2Handling Considerations
The Liebert EXM Distribution Cabinet is bolted to a wooden pallet to allow handling by forklift
equipment.
The Liebert EXM Distribution Cabinet is furnished with casters to allow the unit to be rolled into
place after it has been unbolted from the pallet. The unit should be kept on the shipping pallet
until it has been moved by forklift as close as practical to its installation location.
Refer to the cabinet drawings furnished with the Liebert EXM Distribution Cabinet for the unit’s
size and weight. Typical cabinet dimensions and weights are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The route to the Liebert EXM Distribution Cabinet’s installation area should be planned to ensure
that all passages, including doorways, elevators, ramps and hallways, are large enough to
accommodate the unit and that the floors are strong enough to support the weight. Determine
whether any corners or offsets would cause problems in maneuvering the unit.

required by the NEC and local codes.
An insulated ground conductor is recommended to be run in each feeder conduit. Ground
conductors must be at least the minimum size per NEC Table 250-66. Larger wire sizes may be
used for increased system performance.
If the input power feeder conduit is used as a grounding conductor, adequate electrical continuity
must be maintained at all conduit connections.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, improper operation, injury and death.
Isolating bushings must not be used in a metal conduit run. These busings might prevent
the system from being properly grounded.
2.2.3 Grounding Electrode Conductor for Liebert EXM Distribution Cabinets with
Transformer
Required by code - The Liebert EXM Distribution Cabinet with transformer must be grounded
according to the safety practices of NEC 250-26. A local grounding electrode conductor is
recommended in addition to the equipment safety ground which is normally run with the input
power conductors. (See Figures 8 through 13.)
2.2.4 Output Power Connections
Output circuit breaker(s) and/or panelboards with ground and neutral provisions are provided
inside the unit for connecting load(s) as required. (See Figures 8 through 13.)
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and arc flash. Can cause injury and death.
Verify that all incoming line voltage (power) and low-voltage (control) circuits are
de-energized and locked out before installing cables or output breakers or making
connections, whether in the junction box or in the unit.
Verify that incoming line voltage circuits are de-energized and locked out before installing
output breakers and cables.

energized to insure trouble-free startup. The same internal inspection should be carried out when
performing preventive maintenance.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury and death. Verify that all incoming power circuits
are de-energized and locked out before performing the internal inspection.
Gain access to the internal components of the Liebert EXM Distribution Cabinet™ unit by
removing the external and interior side panels.
5.2.1Interior Inspection Checklist
___ 1. Inspect all wire and conductor insulation for damage.
___ 2. Check all breaker connections for tightness. Retorque if necessary. Unless otherwise labeled, use the
recommended tightening torque as shown in Table 10.
