4.3. Mounting options
Devices can be mounted in several ways, depending on the application. Besides using with
rack shelf, a mounting bracket is available which offers easy mounting on truss systems
with standard clamps or using the unit built into furniture.
Important! Pay attention to the ventilation holes when designing the system or the extender is built
into/under furniture. Side ventilation holes must not be covered. If the ventilation of a
MODEX extender is limited to a closed space, the designer shall provide satisfactory
ventilation to prevent excessive heat build-up inside.
