hardware depends upon the site and must be approved by a structural engineer or other
certified professional.
Software House recommends anchoring systems capable of sustaining a 75 lb. load (without
cables).
Types of Mounting
The iSTAR Ultra and its components can be installed in a wall mount enclosure or in a
separate rack mount enclosure.
