Configuration
Before installing your enclosure, plan the location and arrangement of components within the enclosure
based on the available space.
Door locks
The front and back doors of the
unit have locks. The front door
uses a key lock , and the back
door uses two locking rods that
are accessible from the front of the
unit. Use a small flathead
screwdriver to unscrew each
locking rod.
Cable access
The back door of the enclosure has eight openings for cable
access: three in the top of the door , one in either side of the door
, and three in the bottom of the door . Each opening has an
adjustable plastic cap for cable access.
For unrestricted access to the back of the enclosure when
the standard openings are insufficient, remove the six
screws securing the access plate to the bottom of the rear
door.

How to reverse the mounting rails
To reverse the front mounting rails, you must remove the locking rods, which are threaded through the
upper and lower holes in the rail on the lock side of the enclosure, as shown.
1. Each rod is held in place by a locking nut at the
back of the enclosure. Use a 10-mm wrench to hold
the nuts while you use a small flathead screwdriver
to unscrew the locking rods.
2. Remove the rods from the enclosure.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove
the screws at the top and bottom of
both rails.
4. Turn the rails over so that the upper
and lower holes are facing the front
of the enclosure.
5. Adjust the depth of the rails as
required. See step 2 and step 3 of
“Adjusting the depth of the front
mounting rails” on page 7.
6. Re-insert the locking rod through the
holes at the top and bottom of the rail.
Use the nuts to keep the locking rods
in place. Use a small flathead
screwdriver to lock the rear door.

Mounting the Enclosure to a Wall
There are four keyhole cutouts on the back door that
will accommodate up to a 0.953 mm (3/8 in) bolt.
The holes are on standard 406.4 mm (16 in) centers
horizontally, and 533 mm (21 in) centers vertically.
Use the included template with a level to position
the enclosure properly.
Placing Equipment into the Enclosure
For specific information on how to mount rack equipment in the enclosure, see the installation
instructions supplied with the equipment. No rail kits are utilized with the APC UPS products,
so the UPS products should be mounted in the bottom of the enclosure. The UPS products will
rest on the bottom cross-members of the NetShelter WX enclosure.
Note: APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) products should be mounted in the bottom
of the enclosure.
Identifying one U-space
To install most equipment, you must locate the top and bottom
of a U-space on the mounting rails. This enclosure has square holes
for using cage nuts and round #12-24 tapped holes for screws. For the
cage nuts and the tapped holes, the narrower space above and below
each set of the three mounting holes indicates the top and bottom of a
U-space.
Use appropriate fasteners to secure the
enclosure to the wall. For the weight of
the enclosure and its maximum weight
capacity, see “Specifications” on
page 11.

Installing equipment
1. Review the equipment manufacturer’s installation instructions.
2. Locate the top and bottom U-space on the mounting rails.
3. Install the cage nuts on the interior of the mounting rails, unless you are using the tapped holes.
Then install the equipment. (To remove a cage nut, squeeze the sides to release it from the square
hole.)
How to install and remove a caged nut
To install a cage nut:
1. From the inside of the enclosure insert the cage nut into
the square hole by hooking a tab from one side of the
cage nut onto one side of the opening.
2. Place the cage nut tool onto the tab on the opposite side
of the cage nut and pull to snap it into position.
To remove a caged nut: Squeeze the tabs together to release.
CAUTION
FALLING EQUIPMENT
To ensure equipment installs securely, install cage nuts
with tabs engaging the left and right sides of the square
hole. Do NOT install cage nuts with tabs engaging the
top and bottom of the square hole.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in injury or equipment damage.
