Every ARCvault 48 comes with a tray-style Rack Kit that
allows you to easily install and remove the unit without
having to engage side rails. The Rack Kit includes all
mounting hardware.
WARNING: It is recommended that a mechanical
lifter (or at least two people) be used to raise and
align the unit to prevent injury during installation.
WARNING: Use care when inserting or removing an
ARCvault unit into or out of a rack to prevent the
accidental tipping of the unit causing damage or
personal injury.
1. Locate and mark the holes for the rails and retaining
screws:
a. Starting with the right front flange, at the bottom
of the rack (or from the top of a previously mounted
component), locate the first set (Figure 2) of three
holes with equal gaps of 5/8 inch (1.6cm).
