Installing Optional Components

To improve air flow through the rack, install filler panels into the front of the rack and between any installed equipment. You can use the four threaded holes on the top of the rack to install a third-party cable tray.


Note - These instructions are for the original Sun Rack II filler panels. If your are installing other filler panels, refer to the instructions that came with the filler panels.


Install Filler Panels

The filler panel option kit contains the filler panels as well as the Duosert M6 cage nuts, washers, and M6 screws required to install them in the rack.

  1. Open the front door.
  2. Retrieve the Duosert cage nuts from the filler panel kit.
  3. Install Duosert cage nuts into the desired RETMA rail mounting holes.

    After inserting a cage nut into a mounting hole, turn it 45 degrees to secure it into the hole (see Installing Filler Panels).


    Caution

    Caution - Use these Duosert cage nuts for filler panels only. Do not use these cage nuts when installing any other equipment into the rack.


  4. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the filler panel to the rack using M6 screws (see Installing Filler Panels).

  5. Close the front door.

Install Third-Party Cable Trays

We do not provide cable trays for routing cables out the top of the rack cabinet. However, there are four threaded holes on the top of the rack where you can attach cable trays using M12 bolts.


Caution

Caution - The standard packaging was designed solely for shipping an empty rack. Never install equipment in the rack while it is on this pallet, and never repack a rack in the standard packaging. If you must populate the rack prior to moving it to a new building or site, repack the rack in the enterprise packaging.
