APC by Schneider Electric AR8463 Ladder Stacking KIT

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AR8463 is a ladder stacking kit designed to facilitate secure vertical expansion of APC NetShelter SX server racks. This accessory allows you to stack one NetShelter SX enclosure directly on top of another, maximizing floor space in data center or network closet environments. It's engineered for environments where physical footprint is a constraint, enabling higher density equipment deployment without requiring additional floor area. The AR8463 model specifically addresses the need for stable, integrated stacking solutions for the NetShelter SX line.

Compatibility

This stacking kit is designed exclusively for APC NetShelter SX rack enclosures. It is compatible with the following APC NetShelter SX models: SX24U, SX42U, SX48U, and SX48U 2-Post. Ensure your existing rack is one of these specific models before ordering. It is not compatible with other NetShelter series or third-party racks.

Installation Notes

Installation requires two individuals due to the weight and size of the enclosures being stacked. The kit includes all necessary hardware for securing the top rack to the bottom rack. Ensure the bottom rack is level and stable before attempting to stack. Refer to the APC installation guide for detailed steps, including torque specifications for mounting hardware to prevent instability or damage.
