Chapter 2: Overview  
2. Overview  
2.1 Introduction  
The QuietCab Elite reduces equipment noise to a level below background noise in  
an average office. It attenuates sound by 28.5 dB—the most you can get today in  
a soundproof enclosure. Independently tested as the most effective quiet cabinet  
in the world, the QuietCab Elite features an innovative airflow design with 7.2 kW  
heat dissipation—the equivalent of 37 single processor servers and peripherals.  
Use the QuietCab in environments where you need to store network equipment  
near workers, such as offices, schools, medical offices, retail establishments, and  
more.  
2.2 Features  
• Reduces noise without compromising cooling capability.  
• Handles higher heat loads with variable fan speed control and a temperature  
sensor for maximum energy efficiency. (Fan speed controller is not UL® listed.)  
• 19" M6 rails are adjustable.  
• Rear doors feature two exhaust fans (370 CFM each).  
• Generous cable management space is built in.  
• Accommodates all leading servers, including blade servers.  
• Lockable front and rear doors keeps equipment safe and secure.  
• Includes casters.  
• 12U, 24U, and 42U models are available.  
• Patent-pending design.  
2.3 What’s Included  
Your package should include the following items. If anything is missing  
or damaged, contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500

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 Elite  
cabinets are very heavy. When moving the cabinet, we recommend that a  
minimum of two people carry out this task.  
The individual doors and side panels are also very heavy and need to be handled  
with care.  
3.2 What Tools Will I Need?  
• 2-point pozi drive screwdriver  
• 10-mm ratchet and socket  
3.3 Where Can I Put the Cabinet?  
Be careful when choosing a site for the passive and active cabinets.  
1. Don’t place cabinets next to room heating sources, for example, radiators.  
2. Don’t place cabinets near windows (to avoid solar gain).  
3. If possible, place cabinets in an air-conditioned room or in a well-ventilated  
space.  
4. Check floor loading capacity. Consider the weight combination of both the  
cabinet and equipment housed.  
3.4 Removing the Cladding  
CAUTION: We recommend that a minimum of two people remove and assemble  
the cladding onto the cabinet.  
1. To remove front passive wardrobe doors, turn the cam lock with the key  
supplied, then lift the swing handle and turn clockwise. Open doors without  
disturbing soundproof seals.  
2. When doors are open, lift each side individually just high enough to clear hinge  
pins and safely stand the door against a solid wall.  
Page 9  
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com  
 
Chapter 3: Preparing the Cabinet for Installation  
3. To remove rear doors, disconnect the power supply, turn the cam lock with key  
supplied, then lift the swing handle and turn it clockwise. Hold the left-hand  
door in position while opening the right-hand door.  
NOTE: Open without disturbing the sound-proof seals.  
4. Each door has a cooling fan connected to a fan-speed controller placed behind  
the side infills.  
CAUTION: Make sure that the fan speed controller is NOT connected to its supply  
BEFORE removing the rear door. Note the polarization of the  
connector so you can connect it later.  
5. Disconnect each fan at the rear of the door by squeezing the retaining clips on  
the white connectors and pulling them apart. When the doors are open and  
the main door is away from the frame, lift off each door and safely stand it  
against a solid wall.  
6. To re-hang the rear doors, reverse the procedure above.  
NOTE: Remember to refit the fan connectors after reassembling the doors to the  
cabinet and then reconnect the power supply.  
To remove the side panels, simply turn the cam locks with the keys supplied and  
lift the panel and place against a solid wall.  
WARNING: Again, the panels are very heavy. We recommend that a minimum of  
two people work together to remove the side panels.  
3.5 Thermal Considerations  
To maximize the thermal capabilities of the QuietCab Elite, we strongly  
recommend filling all spaces on and around the front 19” area.  
Sealing the front face of the 19” area keeps hot air from recirculating. Any air  
gaps will impact the amount of heat removed from the cabinet.  
Fill the empty space on the 19” area with soundproof 19” quick-fit blanking  
panels; see the selection of sizes in Table 3-1.  
There is a gap above and below the 19” area even after all the equipment and  
blanking panels have been fitted. We recommend filling this space using the 19"  
infill foam supplied with the cabinet (see Figure 3-3).  
Page 10  
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com  
 
Chapter 3: Preparing the Cabinet for Installation  
CAUTION: Make sure that once fitted, the foam does not cover any of the  
equipment’s vents.

The cabling runs from the front 19" face to the rear of the cabinet via the top  
and bottom of the left-hand and right-hand infills once installation is finished or  
following any refits. Fill the resulting air gaps around the cabling with the supplied  
infill foam (see Figure 3-3).  
3.6 Cable Management  
The QuietCab Elite is fitted with six cable entry positions, three on both the lid  
and base, fitted to the rear and to each side of the cabinet (see Figure 3-1).  
Gland plates  
Gland plates  
Figure 3-1. The cabinet has three cable entry points via removable gland plates  
fitted to the top cover shown and three more fitted to the base.  
Page 11  
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com  
 
Chapter 3: Preparing the Cabinet for Installation  
Cables are usually run into the side cable apertures of a cabinet and straight onto  
cable trays fitted to the cabinet frame (see Figure 3-5). With the interconnecting  
server and equipment, cables are dressed to the side and rear.  
Most equipment fans expel hot waste air to the rear of the cabinet.. Disorganized  
cabling can inhibit airflow movement, so be careful when dressing cabling. We  
recommend that cables are dressed to the side rear infill panels.  
Fitting a cable entry box (QCE-CEB)  
Select a cable entry point and remove four M6 screws. Then remove the gland  
plate.  
The gland plate will also be held in place by the adhesive stuck to the soundproof  
material; this means some force may be required to remove the gland plate. The  
soundproof material is partly precut and will require only the adhesive layer to be  
cut by a sharp blade before being removed.  
One cable entry box (see Figure 3-2) is supplied with each cabinet. If you need  
more cable entry boxes, contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500  
Figure 3-2. Cable entry box (QCE-CEB).  
Page 12  
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com  
 
Chapter 3: Preparing the Cabinet for Installation  
The cable entry box is reassembled in the hole exposed by removing the gland  
and soundproofing material. Assemble it from the inside of the cabinet so that  
the flange makes a seal on the cabinet’s soundproofing material showing rear  
center base assembled. Make sure foam is dressed around cables so that no air  
can escape. This will ensure that any airborne sound inside the cabinet is retained  
and attenuated within the enclosure. We recommend that the cables, where pos-  
sible, lay flat to avoid bunching.  
For front-to-rear cable management, pass the cable through the front-to-rear  
foam blocks (see Figure 3-3). These are positioned to the top and bottom of the  
front infill panels on each side of the cabinet.  
Figure 3-3. Front-to-rear cable infill foam. Top right hand side front shown.  
Page 13  
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com  
 
Chapter 3: Preparing the Cabinet for Installation  
Two foam inserts are supplied as standard and should be fitted, regardless of  
cables being passed though, because this ensures the correct air path for cooling.  
Keep cable bundle flat where possible when passing through foam blocks.  
Figure 3-4. Cable entry box. Rear base shown.  
NOTE: Keep cables flat where possible.  
Middle side vertical cable management is achieved by fitting a cable tray (not  
included) to the cabinet depth support members fixed to the front and rear corner  
posts (see Figure 3-5).  
NOTE: Table 3-2 lists cable tray sizes.
