Installing Single and Multiple Cabinet Configurations
Single Cabinet Installation
- Wall or Floor Mount
A single cabinet system can be wall-mounted using two screws in the rear keyholes, or floor mounted
with the standard legs provided or optional locking castors. (The castor kit must be ordered.) Remove
the side and front covers of the cabinet prior to installation to avoid damaging the covers and to allow
access to the interior.
To rack mount the cabinet, see Rack Mounting Cabinets
in this chapter.
For a Wall-Mounted System
The cabinet should be securely mounted on a plywood backboard at least 1.5 cm (5/8 inch) thick. In-
sert two screws (minimum size #10 or 2.6mm) into the backboard, 40 cm (16 inches) apart. (Figure
2ā1
.) Hang the cabinet onto the screws installed in the backboard.
Proceed with the installation of the power supply unit(s), grounding, power connections, control cards
interface cards and optional equipment as described in the following chapters.
For a Floor-Mounted System
Locate the optional legs or locking castors. Remove the side and front covers of the cabinet prior to
installation to avoid damaging the covers and to allow access to the interior. Place the cabinet on a
secure surface (floor or workbench) with the front of the cabinet (card slots) facing up. With the sup-
plied screws, mount the legs or castors on each corner of the cabinet (Figure 2ā2
). Place the cabinet
upright in the desired location.
Proceed with the installation of the power supply unit(s), grounding, power connections, control cards,
interface cards and optional equipment as described in the following chapters.
