6.1 Mounting
5.5 Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth
The enclosure comes with reversible horizontal mounting rails that have threaded holes for
mounting rack equipment. The holes on the top of the rail are threaded for M6 hardware, while the
holes on the bottom are threaded for 12-24. To install equipment, use the included M6 or 12-24
hardware to secure equipment to the rails. (See the following page for equipment installation
instructions.)
Warning: Be sure to have the enclosure securely mounted to the wall, or in its
final position on the floor before mounting any equipment inside. Also be sure to have all
the right adjustments on your rails before mounting equipment. (See below for Adjusting
Mounting Rail Depth.)
There are 20 keyhole cutouts on the back door of the enclosure arranged in 4 sets of 5.
Each keyhole can accommodate an M10 or 3/8” bolt. The holes are on 16" centers, with
the holes in each set 2” apart from center to center. Holes are then 15” apart vertically,
as shown in the diagram.
Using a level, measure to position your mounting areas precisely. Use appropriate fasteners
(not included) to secure the enclosure to the wall.
Warning: The area you plan to mount
the enclosure to must be able to withstand the weight of the enclosure and all
mounted equipment. For the weight of the enclosure and its capacity, see the
specifications on page 8.
Warning: Do not attempt to adjust rails while equipment is installed in the enclosure. Do
not attempt to use rails without screws installed. (2 per rail.)
The two horizontal mounting rails are pre-installed to accommodate equipment with a mounting
depth of 20 inches (508 mm). Do not adjust the mounting rails unless your equipment requires a
different mounting depth. The rails can be adjusted in 1-inch increments for mounting depths
between 17 inches (432 mm) and 20 inches (508 mm).

Each rail is connected to the enclosure with 2 screws: 1 at the front of the enclosure and one
at the rear. Using a Philips-head screwdriver, remove the screws that fasten the rails to the
enclosure.

Slide the mounting rails vertically to the desired depth and reattach them using the screws you
removed in Step 1.
Warning: Do not attempt to mount the enclosure to the wall with equipment mounted in the enclosure.
