NOTE: Upon receipt and before moving or unpacking the cabinet, inspect the packaging for signs of damage or mishandling during shipment. If any is found, notify the carrier immediately and contact your distributor or Vericom representative. 1. Before removing any packaging, use a forklift or pallet jack to move the cabinet on its pallet as close to the final installation location as possible.
7. Next, use a 10mm socket, box wrench, or a Phillips screwdriver to remove the bolts that secure the Mounting Bracket to the cabinet. NOTE: Do not throw away the Mounting Brackets or the 10mm bolts – they are used to anchor the cabinet to the floor. 8.

3. Move the cabinet into the desired installation position. Refer to the chart below to ensure proper clearance around all sides for installation and maintenance of installed equipment. 4. If ganging cabinets together, remove round plastic caps from sides that will be ganged (4 per side). CABINET CABINET WIDTH...
Leveling REMINDER: This cabinet must be installed on a flat, level, structurally sound surface that is able to bear the weight of the cabinet and all the installed equipment, as well as neighboring cabinets and their equipment. 1. Using a 19mm open end wrench or crescent wrench, lower all four levelers until they come in firm contact with the floor.
Anchoring / Floor Mounting All VC5 cabinets should be anchored to the floor to ensure proper safety. Failure to do so can lead to serious injury and/or damage to your equipment. 1. To anchor the cabinet to the floor, reuse the mounting brackets that secured the cabinet to the pallet. 2.
Ganging WARNING: Ganging of cabinets provides limited stability and is not a substitute for proper leveling and anchoring to the floor. NOTE: Item # RAGAN04 Ganging Kit is required to gang two cabinets together (sold separately). 1. Cabinets can be ganged together with or without side panels installed. 2.
Grounding WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard Each cabinet must be connected to the Common Bonding Network (CBN) separately – do not daisy-chain. Do not use the cabinet without an earth ground connection. 1. There are four 16mm cable entry holes in the bottom of the cabinet frame (one in each corner). Select the location that is most appropriate for your installation, remove the plastic plug, and route the ground wire (not included) up through the hole from below the cabinet.
CONFIGURATION The VC5 Series Cabinet is designed for flexibility and can be configured to meet a wide variety of application requirements. Removing and Installing Doors 1. Open the door a minimum of 90°. 2. Disconnect the door’s ground wire. 3. Lift the door off the hinges and move it away from the cabinet.
Removing and Installing Side Panels VC5 Series Cabinets include (4) side panels that are easily removable. 1. Use the key to unlock the side panel. 2. Disconnect the panel’s ground wire. 3. Lift up on the lock latch and tilt the panel away from the cabinet.
Removing and Installing the Bottom Panel The standard configuration of the VC5 Series Cabinet includes a bottom panel consisting of three or four center panels (depending on the depth of the cabinet) and two side panels that run the entire depth of the cabinet. Each center panel can be removed individually, or the entire bottom can be removed.
Adjusting Mounting Rail Position VC5 Series Cabinets include two sets of preinstalled mounting rails that can be infinitely adjusted front to back. WARNING: Do not attempt to adjust rail position with equipment installed. NOTE: Each rail must remain perpendicular to the cross members of the side frame after adjustment. In addition, both front rails must be the same distance from the front of the cabinet, and both rear rails must be the same distance from the rear of the cabinet.

Slide the mounting rail into the desired position. Measure the distance from the rail to the outside of the cabinet frame at the top and bottom of the rail to ensure perpendicular positioning.
