1.0 INSTALLATION
NOTE
Read this entire manual before installing and operating the system. Upon receipt of a Liebert RX,
the installer should perform the following steps to ensure a top-quality installation.
1.1 Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
A top-quality installation begins on the receiving dock.
• Inspect the shipment for damage or signs of mishandling before unpacking the unit(s).
•Check Shock-Watch
• Uncrate the unit carefully. Use care to avoid puncturing the container with sharp objects that would
damage the contents.
• Remove the packing and vapor barriers and inspect the equipment for any obvious shipping damage.

WARNING
Risk of heavy unit falling over. Improper handling can cause equipment damage, injury or
death.
The unit should NOT be loosened from the shipping pallet until after all handling by forklift
or pallet jack is completed. Exercise extreme care when handling Liebert RX cabinets to
avoid equipment damage or injury to personnel.
1.2 Handling Considerations
The Liebert RX is bolted to a wooden pallet to allow handling by a forklift, pallet jack or similar
equipment.
Check size and weight—Refer to the cabinet drawings furnished with the unit for size and
weight information. Typical cabinet dimensions and weights are shown in Figure 1.
Plan the route—The route that the unit will follow to its installation area should be planned to
ensure that all passages are large enough to accommodate the unit and that the floors are strong
enough to support the weight. Check all doorways, hallways elevators, ramps and other portions
of the route to determine if there are any obstructions and to ensure each is large enough and
strong enough to allow easy passage.
Move with care—The Liebert RX should be moved to the installation area on the wooden pallet
using forklift or pallet jack.
If any damage is observed—Immediately file a damage claim with the shipping agency and
forward a copy to:

1.3 Unit Preparation
The Liebert RX may be easily removed from the shipping pallet and installed by customer
personnel. A typical procedure is as follows:
• Set the shipping pallet in a level area where there is enough room lift the Liebert RX off the pallet onto the
raised floor.
• Remove front door.
• Unbolt the unit from the shipping pallet. There is a bolt in each of the four bottom corners.
• Use a lifting device or an appropriate number of personnel to lift the unit off the pallet and place it on the
floor.
WARNING
Risk of heavy unit falling or tipping over. Can cause property damage, personal injury or
death.
A single Liebert RX is not designed to be a free-standing unit and may present a tipping
hazard. The Liebert RX must be properly supported and braced until it is securely attached
to a supporting structure.
NOTE
Before maneuvering the unit into its final position, read and follow all advisories in 1.4 - Location
Considerations
1.4 Location Considerations
The Liebert RX should be installed in the data center and close to the load(s) it is supplying.
Equipment location should employ the shortest output distribution cable runs consistent with
logical equipment arrangement and allowances for additional equipment.
The Liebert RX should be installed in an environment with an ambient temperature range of 32°F
to 104°F (0°C to 40°C) with a relative humidity of 0% to 95% (non-condensing).
Required clearance above the unit for cooling air flow is 18" (460 mm); clearance below for cables
is 12" (305mm) minimum. Bottom clearance is required for exit of cables/conduits and for cooling
airflow. This clearance is automatically provided by a raised floor with a minimum height of 12"
(305mm).
Recommended minimum service clearances are shown in 1.5 - Configurations for Liebert RX
Installation and Figures 2 and 3. The indicated clearance at the front of the unit is required for
service access by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Clearance above the unit is required for
cooling airflow (exhaust).
As with all electrical devices, the Liebert RX produces heat under normal operation. The heat
output is 3412 BTU/Hr (1 kWH). This heat output should be included when calculating the
environmental conditions of the room.
Vertiv | Liebert® RX™ Remote Distribution Cabinet User Manual | 5
