2. Setup and Installation

2.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully unpack the enclosure and all components. Inspect for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. While the unit is designed for durability, minor alignment issues can sometimes occur. If any damage is noted, contact customer support.

2.2 Mounting the Enclosure

The RSWM-6U001 is designed for wall mounting. Due to its weight (approximately 34.6 lbs) and the potential weight of installed equipment (up to 130 lbs), it is crucial to secure the enclosure directly into wall studs or use appropriate heavy-duty wall anchors suitable for the wall material and total load.

1. Identify the desired mounting location on a sturdy wall.
2. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs for secure attachment.
3. Mark the drilling points for the mounting brackets on the wall. Ensure the marks are level and correctly spaced.
4. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If mounting into drywall without studs, use the provided wall anchors or equivalent heavy-duty anchors.
5. Attach the mounting brackets to the wall using the provided screws or appropriate fasteners.
6. Carefully lift the enclosure and align it with the mounted brackets. Secure the enclosure to the brackets.

2.3 Installing Equipment

The enclosure accommodates standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment. Use the provided cage nuts and screws to secure your devices within the rack.

3. Operation

3.1 Accessing the Enclosure

The front door features a lockable tempered glass panel, providing both security and visibility of your equipment. The side panels are removable for easy access during installation or maintenance.

• To open the front door, insert the key into the lock and turn.
• To remove a side panel, unlock it (if applicable) and slide it off the frame.

3.2 Cable Management

The enclosure features cable entry points on both the top and bottom panels, simplifying cable routing and organization. Ensure cables are neatly managed to prevent obstruction of airflow and to maintain a tidy setup.

3.3 Cooling

The top and bottom panels offer provisions for installing two 120mm cooling fans (fans not included). Installing fans can enhance airflow and help maintain optimal operating temperatures for your equipment, especially in environments with high heat output.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your server rack enclosure.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For the glass door, use a glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
• Inspection: Regularly check all mounting hardware and screws to ensure they remain tight and secure. Inspect the door hinges and lock for smooth operation.
• Airflow: Ensure that the fan vents (if fans are installed) are free from dust and debris to maintain proper airflow.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your enclosure.

• Side Panel Jammed: If a side panel is difficult to open or remove, it may be slightly misaligned, possibly due to transit. Gently tap the affected corner with a soft hammer to realign the frame.
• Glass Door Issues: In rare cases, the tempered glass panel may become unglued from its hinge during transit. This can often be repaired using a strong epoxy adhesive. Ensure the glass is clean and dry before applying epoxy.
• Overheating Equipment: If equipment inside the enclosure is overheating, consider installing optional 120mm cooling fans in the designated top and bottom vents. For advanced temperature control, a temperature controller can be integrated to activate fans only when needed.
• Lack of Power Distribution: The enclosure does not include integrated power distribution. A power strip or power distribution unit (PDU) must be purchased separately and installed within the rack to power your equipment.
