Installing the Cabinet Extension on the Front of Sun Racks With Silver Alloy Doors

The front silver alloy doors can only be installed on the left side of the Sun Rack. The black and silver alloy front hinges are different than all other Sun Rack hinges. You must replace the alloy hinges with the gold hinges to install the cabinet extension. You will then install the original black and silver alloy hinges on the front of the cabinet extension.

Preparing for Installation

1. If necessary, remove all power, and disconnect all power and data cables from the Sun Rack and installed equipment.

Follow the manufacturer's recommended shutdown procedures before removing power from any equipment.

2. Pull out the end of the antitilt bar to the fully extended position (FIGURE 4-1).

3. Rotate the foot 90 degrees and adjust the height of the foot so that it rests on the floor.

4. If necessary, lower the four cabinet feet to contact the floor.

This figure shows the anti-tilt bar being extended and the foot rotating to contact the floor.

A wrench is used to lower the Sun Rack feet to the floor. FIGURE 4-1 Deploying the Antitilt Bar and Lowering the Sun Rack Feet

Removing the Silver Alloy Door

1. Using a 10 mm wrench, disconnect the front portion of the ground cable from the front door (FIGURE 4-2).

2. Lift the front silver alloy door off the hinges.

3. Using a screwdriver or wrench, remove the two black and silver hinges from the front of the Sun Rack (FIGURE 4-3).

4. Remove the two black latches from the front of the Sun Rack (FIGURE 4-3).

The latches are pressure-fitted and may require some effort to remove.

This figure shows two screws being removed from each latch and hinge.

Note - Before you remove the gold hinges from the cabinet extension, be sure to look at the angle of the hinges. The cylinders always face away from the cabinet.

5. Remove all four gold hinges from the front of the cabinet extension (FIGURE 4-4).

Ensure that the hinges are mounted so that the hinge cylinders face to the outside of the extension.

Caution - The ground cables must be properly attached at three points on the Sun rack, the cabinet extension, and the door.

14. Secure the stabilizing feet and the ground cables as described in Securing the Ground Cables and Stabilizer Feet.
