Caster Kit (CNCSTR)

With the leveling legs in the down position hook the caster bracket to the mounting hook on the cabinet post in the locations shown. Fasten
with two (2) 5/16 X 3/4” bolts provided as shown using a 1/2”(13mm) socket. Retract the leveling legs to allow the cabinet weight to be sup­ported by the casters.

Note: Casters can support a fully loaded cabinet. However, the casters should only be used to move the cabinet from one location to another.
To ensure maximum stability, the leveling legs should be used to support the cabinet when it is in permanent location.

Torque bolts to 14 ft.-lbs(19.0 N-m)
Proper torque ensured casters are bonded to the cabinet frame.

INSTRUCTIONS CM317D

Leveling

Once the leveling legs are fully retracted use two people to slide the cabinet into the desired location. Lower the leveling legs using a
3/8” (10mm) deep well socket, until the cabinet weight is fully supported. Use a bubble level placed on the base rails in the locations shown to
adjust legs until the cabinet is level. For ganged cabinet applications, ensure that adjacent cabinets are adjusted to the same height, parallel with
each other, and no gaps at the top or bottom between cabinets.

Note: The maximum weight load of the cabinet is 2500 pounds (1134 kg). The weight load should be evenly distributed across the height of

the cabinet, with the heaviest components mounted at the bottom of the cabinet.

Ganging

IMPORTANT:

The first step to ensuring the proper ganging installation is to distinguish which model of

cabinet is being utilized. Cabinets with ganging tabs already in place are illustrated below.
For cabinets without ganging tabs please refer to Instruction Sheet CM371 or

IMPORTANT:

If side panels are going to be used between cabinets, install (if needed) prior to ganging
cabinets as shown on pages 18-19. If switch air ducting (CNAE series) will be used with
side panel between ganged cabinets, install both ducting and side panels prior to ganging.

IMPORTANT:

Ensure cabinets are level by following the guidelines on page 7. Leveling the cabinet prior
to ganging is important to ensure proper door operation.

Secure the top of the cabinets with two (2) top ganging brackets and four (4) #12-24 trilob­ular screws in the locations shown.

Equipment Rail adjustment and usage

All four rails are fully adjustable. To change depth, loosen three (3) 5/16 x 3/4” mounting bolts using a 1/2” (13mm) socket and slide to desired
position. Retighten the mounting bolts to 14ft.-lbs (19.0 N-m). Proper torque ensures equipment rails are bonded to the cabinet frame.

Rail Installation (CNRC, CNRT)

Install cabinet rails at three locations shown below with Bolt and Dual Nut provided. The Paint Piercing washers are used in the middle location
to bond the equipment rails to the cabinet as shown in figure 1. Equipment rails are set 1” back on the front of the cabinet to ensure proper
clearance for switch fans and door clearance for the high capacity horizontal cable managers NCMHAEF2 and NCMHAEF4.
Note: Torque bolts to 14 ft.-lbs (19.0 N-m) to ensure equipment rails are bonded to the cabinet frame

Cabinet Door Specifications

Before performing any procedures to the cabinet door, please take a minute and select which door application you are working with. One
option for your cabinet door system is the CNDDE application, which is illustrated below. The pin assembly of this door is visibly different
from the alternative. If this is the door style you are currently working with, please continue on to page 14 of this document.

CNDDE Application

If the door option above does not match the system you are currently working with, you are working with the CNDD application. Although both
doors are very similar, the easiest method of distinguishing the two of them apart is their mechanized pin assembly. The CNDD door system
is illustrated below. If this is the style door you are currently working with, please

click here for CNDD instruction document CM322.

Dual Hinge Door Usage (CNDDE)

The dual hinge door has the unique ability to open on either the left or the right side. This allows full access to either side of the cabinet. For
safety, the dual hinge door features an interlock system that prevents handles from turning when either side is open. To close a handle that
is locked open, press the spring-loaded levers in the top and the bottom corners of the door and turn the handle simultaneously.

Spring Loaded Lever

See note below
