Important Safety Notes For Installation
Note:
The information contained in this document is subject to change without notice. SharkRack makes no warranty of any kind with regard to this material, including, but not limited
to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. SharkRack shall not be liable for errors contained herein or for incidental or consequential
damages in connection with the furnishing, performance, or use of this material. SharkRack assumes no responsibility for the use or reliability of the software or hardware
installed into a SharkRack cabinet. Pictures in this manual represent a typical configuration. Your actual configuration may vary.
WARNING:
Always install a stabilizing/anti-tip device such as Floor Mounting Brackets or a Retractable Tip Guard.
Always install the UPS (uninterruptible power supply) in the bottom of the rack. Always install the heaviest equipment in the bottom of the rack. Always install servers and power devices in the rack from the bottom to the top. Do not extend more than one sliding device at a time. The center of gravity for an extended unit cannot exceed 16 inches from the face of the cabinet.
If an extended device exceeds this distance, the configured cabinet might be unstable. The maximum allowable weight for devices on slides is dependant upon the specific slide. Do
not install sliding devices exceeding maximum allowed weight.

SharkRack Enclosure Installation Guide
WARNING (CONT.):
Plug cabinet power cords into electrical outlets that are located near the cabinet and are easily accessible.
Connect all devices installed in a rack to power devices installed in the same cabinet. Do not plug into a power device installed in a different cabinet.
Check the equipment power rating before plugging into a cabinet power device. Check that both the voltage range and current draw are within the limitations of the power device. The voltages of the power device receptacles are typically equal to the voltages of the UPS or AC source.
To avoid overloading, check the total input current rating of the equipment being connected to a power device to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum rating of the power strip or any UPS to which it may be connected.
Each installed server or other device might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in the cabinet before servicing any device in the cabinet.
CAUTION:
Removing components from the top portion of the rack improves cabinet stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated cabinet within a room or building:
Reduce the weight of the rack by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack. When possible, restore the cabinet to the configuration as you received it. If this is not possible or the configuration is unknown, remove all devices in the 11U position and above before moving the cabinet.
Inspect the route that you plan to take and eliminate any potential hazards. Verify that the route that you choose to move the rack cabinet can support the weight of the
loaded rack cabinet, which may exceed 2500 lbs. Verify that all doorways can accommodate the cabinet. Ensure that all devices, drawers, doors, and cables are secure. Ensure that all leveling feet are raised to their highest position. Ensure that the floor mounting brackets are removed (see Figure 6). Once the cabinet is in its new location, repopulate the cabinet from the lowest position to the
highest position. If long distance relocation is required, pack the cabinet in the original packaging material, or
equivalent. Also, use the floor mounting brackets to bolt the cabinet to the pallet.

Chapter 1 Site Preparation
Check Facility Provisions
Ensure that the following conditions are met:
• Floor is level and of sufficient strength to support the rack and your equipment. At maximum gross weight, the floor must be able to support 1000 lb/in
2
.
• A qualified professional should complete site electrical power supply set-up. Ensure the types of outlets are consistent with the type of plugs on the power devices to be used.
• Check with a qualified HVAC technician to make sure the environment will support the heat load of the products being installed in the cabinet.
• Select a location for the cabinet that will allow adequate space for the door to open freely and slide-mounted equipment to be extended.
• Check that the site can accommodate the cabinet footprint and mounting locations according to the illustrations in Figure 3 and Figure 4.

Chapter 2 Receiving and Unpacking
Check package and receiving area
• Verify contents and condition.
• Move the packaged cabinet on its pallet as close to its final destination as possible.
• Be sure there is enough room to unload the cabinet from its packaging. In front of the
pallet, it requires at least 7 feet for standard packaging (with or without pallet) and 13 feet for integration (crate) packaging to unload the cabinet.
• Many SharkRack cabinets come on casters, which allow the cabinet to be rolled to its destination after unpacking.
Note:
Ensure clear passage from the receiving site to the uncrating site. Do not lift an unpackaged cabinet with a forklift. Do not move the packaged cabinet without adequate assistance. Be sure leveling feet are raised before rolling to prevent tipping or damage to the feet.
