Step 1: 

To install the housing from the front of the equipment rack, attach the appropriate 

mounting brackets (Figure 3) to the supporting flange on the housing using the 6-32 

screws provided.

Step 2: 

Remove paint from the mounting bracket with sandpaper at one of the mounting hole 

locations to provide metal-to-metal contact for grounding the housing.

Step 3: 

Mount the housing to the equipment rack using thread-cutting screws.

NOTE: 

The mounting bracket must have metal-to-metal contact providing an electrical path to properly 

ground the housing.

5.2  Stubbed Housing

Factory-stubbed units are available with a specific length of preconnectorized cable installed 

and strain-relieved in the unit. Install stubbed 

housings from the rear of the equipment rack.

Step 1: 

Slide the housing into the equipment 

rack from the rear before attaching 

the mounting brackets.

Step 2: 

While supporting the unit, install the 

appropriate mounting brackets using 

the 6-32 screws provided as shown in 

Figure 3.

Step 3: 

Fasten the brackets to the equipment 

rack using the screws provided.  (If 

mounting to an Eclipse frame, use the 

12-24 screws provided.)

IMPORTANT: 

Align the top mounting hole of the housing so that the next hole above is 1/2 inch higher 

(Figure 4). Doing otherwise will result in the misalignment of the lower mounting holes.
