InfraStruXure Site Planning, Installation, Start-Up 9
Basic Installation Procedure
This section provides the basic steps that you need to perform when installing InfraStruXure power
and rack components. Follow the references provided with each step for detailed instructions.
1. Unpack the components according to the unpacking instructions included on the outside of the
packaging or in the installation manual included with the component.
2. Determine the correct placement of your system components by studying your APC
InfraStruXure configure-to-order (CTO) report. Move the InfraStruXure PDU and enclosures to
their final location.
3. Join adjacent NetShelter enclosures.
4. Bolt enclosures to the floor.
5. Ensure total power off.
Do not begin installing your InfraStruXure system without an APC Field Service
Engineer present.
Make sure that all boxes and packaging are empty before discarding them.
If installing InfraStruXure on a raised floor, make sure that the raised-
floor structure has a kg/m
2
rating that will support the full weight of the
InfraStruXure installation. See “Weight Considerations” on page 6.
