3.3 Panel Mounting
The panel mounted option is required when
mounting the system in an existing cut-out.
Bulkhead mounting is preferred if there are
not cut-outs.
Normally, mounting brackets will be placed
so that wiring is from the rear of the cabinet.
If you choose to install the rack so that
wiring is from the front of the cabinet, be
aware that the wiring space between the
UMMs and the front door is only 3.0” (76
mm) and only 2.0” (50 mm) if there is a
display in the door.
The VC-8000 rack does not come with panel
clamps.

3.3.1 VC-4000, VC-6000, or BN 3300 Replacement (Wire from Rear)
The picture below shows a VC-8000 rack which replaced a 3300 rack (panel cutout). This orientation
of the rack (wiring from the front) is not recommended. This orientation makes it very difficult to wire,
to replace cards, and to troubleshoot wiring.
The preference in this situation would be to order the rack mounting options so that “modules insert
from the rear”. A longer display cable (blue cable) would have been provided and the customer would
have easier access to the wiring. The touch panel (door) would still open for maintenance access to
the display. But all wiring and module access would now be at the back of the rack.
Figure 3-3) Wiring from the front is not recommended in this situation.
