5.0 MOUNTING THE LIEBERT XDV
The Liebert XDV module must be securely attached to the top of the computer cabinet or, alterna-
tively, suspended above the cabinet. For mounting atop the computer cabinet, see 5.1 - Mounting
the Liebert XDV on Top of the Cabinet; to hang the Liebert XDV above the computer cabinet,
refer to 5.2 - Suspended Mounting Method. Be sure to follow all applicable codes.
5.1 Mounting the Liebert XDV on Top of the Cabinet
The Liebert XDV may be installed on a computer cabinet by securing it with either the two included
bolts, the two included clips or both the bolts and clips.
The Liebert XDV has mounting holes below the fans that match holes in the Liebert Foundation com-
puter system cabinet. Other cabinets may require that holes be drilled to accommodate the bolts or
the clips.
5.1.1 Bolting Liebert XDV to Top of Cabinet
To mount the Liebert XDV:
1. With at least one additional person, lift the Liebert XDV and set it down on top of the cabinet. The
front edge of the Liebert XDV should be even with the front edge of the cabinet. See Figure 10.
Figure 10 Positioning the Liebert XDV
2. If your cabinet has mounting holes matching those on the Liebert XDV, align the Liebert
XDV properly and insert the bolts from the bottom of the cabinet and secure them to the factory-
installed cage nuts (see Figure 11). Tighten the bolts.
If your cabinet’s mounting holes do not match those on the Liebert XDV, drill holes as
required. To prevent metal shavings and particles from falling into the equipment in the cabinet
or into the Liebert XDV, use a vacuum or other method to collect them while drilling the holes.
After drilling the holes, insert bolts from the bottom of the cabinet and secure them to the factory-
installed cage nuts (see Figure 11). Tighten the bolts.
If also using mounting clips in conjunction with bolting method above, see 5.1.2 - Using Sup-
plied Clips for Mounting.

WARNING
Risk of top-heavy cabinet falling. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death.
A lightly loaded cabinet may become top-heavy after a Liebert XDV is mounted on it, causing
the cabinet to tip over, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Before beginning to place the Liebert XDV on the cabinet, ascertain whether the cabinet or rack
requires additional stabilization, and secure the cabinet to the floor if necessary to prevent tip-
over.
Always use at least two persons to mount the Liebert XDV on top of a cabinet.
