Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
QuietCab cabinets are specialized enclosures with integrated cooling, noise damp-
ening, and power distribution for server and network applications in office envi-
ronments. The enclosures provide storage for industry-standard (EIA-310), 19-inch
rackmount hardware, which includes servers, voice, data, networking, internet-
working, and power protection equipment.
Use the QuietCab in environments where you need to store network
equipment near workers, such as offices, schools, medical offices, retail
establishments, and more.
NOTE: The cabinet arrives fully assembled, with doors, leveling legs, casters, cage
nuts, and a power strip installed. Horizontal cable managers and filter
inserts are also installed. Keys, cage nuts, screws, and this user manual will
ship inside the cabinet.
2.2 Features
• Cabinet is fully assembled.
• Physical rack capacity is fully EIA compliant—EIA 13⁄4"/4.5-cm rack spaces.
• Maximum rack depth is 30.25" (76.8 cm). Minimum rack depth is 22.5"
(57.2 cm).
• Electrical systems are RoHS, RU, and CE compliant.
• Veneer finish, Choose from three colors to blend with your office environment:
beech, walnut, and light gray.
• Acoustic foam lining reduces audible server and hardware noise by 15 dB to
normal office background levels.
• Lockable doors (keys included).
• Rear access for simple hardware installation.
• Plug-and-play deployment.
• Fluorescent light (8 W).

Chapter 3: Preparing the Cabinet for Installation
3. Preparing the Cabinet for Installation
Follow these simple recommendations for best performance from your new
enclosure.
3.1 Handling
NOTE: For palletized cabinets, see the unpacking instruction sheet before
attempting to remove the cabinet from the pallet.
To achieve the level of acoustic performance and industrial needs of a high-quality
19” enclosure, the composition of cabinet parts means that the QuietCab
cabinets are very heavy. When moving the cabinet, we recommend that a
minimum of two people carry out this task.
3.2 Tools You Will Need
• 10-mm ratchet and socket
• Phillips screwdriver
• Utility knife
• Level
• Cage nut tool
3.3 Adjusting the Doors
The QuietCab cabinet’s doors are aligned before they leave the factory. But in
case they need adjustment, follow these instructions.
Side-to-side adjustment
Turning the front screw on the hinge counterclockwise will move the door closer
to the corresponding side panel. Turning the screw clockwise will move the door
toward the opposite side panel.
Front-to-back adjustment
Loosening the back screw will allow the hinge to be adjusted frontward or
backward. Tighten the screw after adjustment.

Chapter 4: Cable Management
4. Cable Management
There are two ways to route cable in and out of the cabinet: through the top
panel or through the bottom rear entry panel.'
4.1 Top Panel Cable Entry
The top panel (see Figure 4-1) has two plastic cable entry grommets, which are
lined with foam to prevent airflow and sound from escaping the cabinet. You can
route cable through these grommets.

Chapter 4: Cable Management
4.2 Bottom Cable Entry
The cabinet has a cable access opening (see Figure 4-1 on the previous page) at
the bottom of the enclosure. The cabinet is lined with foam on the top, bottom,
and sides to prevent airflow and sound from escaping.
The cable port is large enough to accommodate several hundred Ethernet cables
and has a removable top cover. To route the cable out of the cabinet, follow these
steps:
1. Loosen the two thumbscrews and remove the rear cable access port top cover.
2. Bring the cable into the cabinet.
3. Put the cover back in place and fasten the two thumbscrews.

Chapter 5: Installing Equipment in the Cabinet
5. Installing Equipment in the Cabinet
5.1 Leveling the Cabinet
Level the enclosure before installing equipment. The leveling feet at the corners
provide a stable base if the floor is uneven, but they cannot compensate for a
badly sloped surface.
1. Move the enclosure to a level location.
2. For each leveling foot, turn the leveling foot clockwise until it makes firm
contact with the floor.
5.2 Adjusting the Vertical Mounting Rails
Vertical mounting rails are factory installed on the enclosure (see Figure 5-1) in the
proper position to use with rackmountable equipment. The front mounting rails
are adjustable towards the front or the rear of the enclosure to accommodate
different rails or equipment with other depths. You can adjust the rails to be as
close as 22.5" (57.2 cm) or as far as 30.25" (76.8 cm) apart.

the vertical mounting rails. See Figure 5-2.
