Leave a clearance of at least 120
cm between cabinets, and at
least 100 cm between a cabinet
and a wall.
Be certain to next install
other devices below the
controller to prevent the
cabinet from becoming
top heavy.
Install the controller
enclosure in the middle
of an empty 42 U
cabinet, namely
between the 17 U mark
and the 20 U mark.
Reserve 1 U space
below each data switch
for cabling.
