2.2.1. Mounting the Q-4300 Chassis
You may choose to place your Q-4300 Chassis on or under a shelf or desktop (rubber feet included,
under-desk mounting brackets, Kit ENCA000797, available), or rack mount it using the supplied EIA 19

mounting brackets. In any mounting configuration, the front panel should be visible and unobstructed so
that the navigation buttons and LCD display are accessible. All connections are made to the modules on
the rear of the chassis. The Q-4300 chassis does not need to be opened or accessed. The sturdy metal
case allows units to be stacked as needed (maximum of four units per stack, with a minimum of two
inches of clearance between stacks for adequate ventilation). See Appendix A (page 20) for under-
desk mounting.
