How to Install the R4PRTWH 4 Post Rack

Installation guide for assembling and mounting the R4PRTWH 4 post rack.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wrench, Measuring tape

Supplies needed:

Anti-oxidizing paste, 3/8" bolts, Paint piercing washers, 12-24 Cage Nuts, 12-24 x.5" Screws, Floor mounting bolts

  1. Assemble the first side channel

    Lay one side assembly on a flat surface. Apply antioxidant paste to painted surfaces where the 3/8" paint piercing washers will contact. Attach the base angles and top brackets using eight 3/8" bolts and paint piercing washers. Do not tighten yet. Ensure base angles are at the bottom and top brackets are at the top, indicated by a diamond on the outer face of each post.

  2. Attach the second side channel

    Position the second side assembly. Apply antioxidant paste to painted surfaces where the 3/8" paint piercing washers will contact. Attach this side assembly to the base angles using 3/8" bolts and paint piercing washers, one on each side. Do not tighten yet.

  3. Square and tighten the rack structure

    Rotate the second side assembly upwards to align the mounting holes in the top brackets. Install the remaining six 3/8" bolts and paint piercing washers. Stand the rack upright. Verify EIA spacing of 18.31" for #12-24 tapped holes or cage nuts. Square the rack vertically by measuring diagonals (A to D and B to C); the difference should not exceed 1/8". Square the rack horizontally by measuring diagonals (E to H and F to G); the difference should not exceed 1/8". Completely tighten all bolts to at least 14 ft.-lbs (19.0 N-m).

  4. Adjust mounting rails

    Loosen the three 5/16"-18 X 3/4" mounting bolts on each of the four adjustable EIA mounting rails. Slide the rails to the desired depth. Re-tighten the bolts to 20 foot pounds. For optimal thermal and cable management, Panduit recommends recessing the front rails 1" from the front edge, and no more than 1.5" to be compatible with newer thermal ducts.

  5. Mount the rack to the floor

    Use the provided location guide to mark and drill mounting holes. Secure the rack to the floor using appropriate floor mounting bolts (not included) to ensure maximum rigidity, load bearing capacity, and safety. The maximum weight load is 2500 pounds.

  6. Install grounding lug

    Attach the two-hole ground lug to the designated locations on the top and bottom rails of the side channel assemblies. Remove any masking before installation.
