1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Save These Instructions

This manual is provided to prevent service personnel from committing an act that results in the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons. Only trained service personnel should receive, unpack, and assemble
the DCE Racks. In addition, only trained service personnel should install equipment in racks.

Improper handling and use of the DCE Rack could result in equipment damage, serious injury, or possible
death.

WARNING: Only trained service personnel should be used to remove the rack from the pallet. Also, be
sure you have a sufficient number of service personnel. Do not attempt to move racks by yourself.

WARNING: All wiring and electrical circuits must be in compliance with National and Local electric
codes. Only ITE (Information Technology Equipment) bearing the safety compliance mark of a NRTL
should be installed inside the DCE Rack. NRTL compliance marks include UL®, C-UL®, CSA®, ETL®,
TUV®, and CE.

WARNING: Be sure to read and follow all individual manufacturer equipment manuals for safety and
installation instructions.

WARNING: Proper spacing is required when installing electrical equipment to avoid electrical shock.
Maintain minimum spacing between the accessories and components and the computer rack assembly
for safe operation of the equipment when installed in accordance with the National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999.

3 INSTALLATION

3.1 Receiving, Unpacking, andRemovingtheDCERackfromthePallet

Inspect and report any damage before receiving. Unpack the rack by carefully removing the corrugated
carton and corners. Avoid damaging the rack when removing packaging.

WARNING: Only trained service personnel should be used to remove the rack from the pallet. Also, be
sure you have a sufficient number of service personnel. Do not attempt to move racks by yourself.

WARNING: Be careful when moving racks before installation. Sudden stops and starts, excessive
force, obstructed routes, and uneven floor surfaces may cause the rack to topple over.

3.2 Loading Equipment

WARNING: Only install equipment after the DCE Rack has been properly secured. Do not move the rack
assembly while loaded.

Once in place at the desired/intended location, deploy the leveling feet for maximum stability.

Rated or maximum-load capacity for the DCE Rack is 3000 pounds on the floor or on leveling glides.

To maintain a uniform distribution of the mechanical load in the DCE Rack, load the heaviest equipment
first, at the bottom of the DCE Rack and load the lighter units at the top.

3.3 Operating Door Handle

The door swing handles have been installed at the manufacturer. No additional assembly is required. To
operate the swing handle, lift up at the bottom of the handle then swing the handle to the right to open.
The handle must be kept in this position to close the door. Return the handle to the initial position and
use the key provided to lock the handle. The lock on the side panels will accept the same key.

The swing handles and doors are reversible. See "Reversing the door handle" below.

3.4 Reversing the door handle

1. Remove the Phillips-head bolt from the swing-handle retainer on the inside of the door.

2. Tilt the handle outward and lift up to remove it from the door.

3. Remove the Phillips-head cam retaining bolt, rotate the cam 180° and re-install cam retaining
bolt.

Vertiv | DCE Installer/User Guide | 9

4. After reversing the door, reinstall the swing handle by sliding downward into door and tilting
inward.

CAUTION: When installing the casters and adjusting leveling feet, observe the following safety
precautions:

• To install casters, several people are required to tip the rack onto its side. The rack can be very
heavy. Practice safe lifting techniques.

• DO NOT lay the rack on its front or back, this may damage the door hinges.

• Before tipping, remove the side panels to prevent damage to the locks and latches.

• Removing doors and sides helps reduce the weight of the rack.

To field-install casters

them.

2. Install each adapter bracket with (14) panel fasteners.

Vertiv | DCE Installer/User Guide | 23

3. Install each of the vertical cable managers using (4) flat-head M6 screws on the face of the
adapter brackets, facing outward.

4. Mount the vertical cable manager directly to the AMH of the EIA rail.

NOTE: Vertical Cable Manager Kit can be installed with a Vertical Airflow Baffle with Brush Kit. See page
"Vertical-airflow Baffle withBrushKitandVerticalCableManager" on page32.

To install the gasket:

1. Measure and cut gasket to length.

2. peel adhesive backing from the gasket, and place the gasket around side perimeter of one of
the racks.

3. Position the racks next to each other with the gasket between them.
The racks are ready for baying.

To install the racks in a bay configuration:

1. Place racks in a row and open or remove doors for easy access to frame holes.

2. Decide spacing between rack centers, 24in. or 600mm, which determines the screw holes
used in the bracket, see the following figure.

3. Install 2 brackets at front and 2 at rear per the rack's mating planes, as shown in the figure.
