4 Installation of 2U enclosures

Sequentially follow the installation checklist to install the 2U enclosure, which guides you through the related topics.

Unpack and prepare the 2U enclosure

CAUTION Do not operate an expansion enclosure outside the manufacturer's intended use.
Storage enclosures are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only.
l
Storage enclosures are suitable for installation in locations where the National Electrical Code (NEC) applies but are not
l
suitable for Outside Plant (OSP) installations.
Customer facilities must provide for voltages with not more than ± 5% fluctuation. Customer facilities must also provide
l
suitable surge protection.
To unpack and prepare the 2U enclosure:
1. Prepare the site for the 2U enclosure installation. This includes meeting all product specifications and providing a clean,
clear, static-protected environment prior to unpacking the enclosure.
2. Complete the following actions to complete inspection of the 2U enclosure:
a. Examine packaging for damage. This includes cuts, water damage, or shipment mishandling.
b. If there is damage, photograph and document it, but do not proceed. Retain original packaging for returns.
c. Cut open the package lid to remove all items above the chassis, such as the rails and protective foam, and set aside to
gain access the chassis.
3. Locate two people to assist in moving the 2U enclosure chassis in its plastic bag onto the mechanical lift.
a. Position a person on each side of the expansion enclosure, grasping the chassis sides, not the front or rear panel.
IMPORTANT Almost all the weight of the expansion enclosure is to the rear, so prepare to lift more from the
side of the chassis to the rear than the chassis side to the front.
b. Simultaneously lift the 2U enclosure, using appropriate safe lifting technique while moving it to the mechanical lift.
