6. Wall Mounting the Enclosure
5.4 Mounting Rails
5.5 Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth
The enclosure comes with mounting rails that have both square and tapped holes for mounting rack
equipment. To install equipment, use the included cage nuts and other hardware (See
section 7.1
for installation of cage nuts.)
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.)
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 2 mounting rails are pre-installed to accommodate different mounting depths, depending on
the model. Do not adjust the mounting rails unless your equipment requires a different mounting
depth. The front and rear sets of rails can be adjusted independently in 3/4-inch (19 mm)
increments.
1
Each rail is connected to the enclosure with 2 screws and 2 cage nuts: 1 set in the upper
corner and another in the lower corner. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws
that fasten the rails to the enclosure.
2
Move cage nuts to the desired depth and reinstall.
3
Slide the mounting rails 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 in the enclosure.
Note:
Enclosure must be installed by a qualified technician. Before mounting, use a level and tape measure to position your mounting area precisely. Use appropriate
fasteners (not included) to secure the enclosure to the wall. Use suitable mounting means when installing to cinder block, concrete, drywall or wood studs.
Warning: The
supporting surface must be able to safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware and components. For the actual weight,
size and load capacity of the enclosure, view the product specifications and other support resources at
www.tripplite.com/support.
1
Using user-supplied hardware, attach the
mounting plate to a wall or other suitable
mounting surface. Each mounting hole can
accommodate an M8 or 5/16” bolt and the
holes are spaced 16" apart to
accommodate standard stud placement as
reflected in the diagram.
Note:
When mounting the mounting plate to the
wall, be sure the three mounting hooks are facing
outwards and away from the wall.
2
After the mounting plate has been securely
attached to the mounting surface, hang the
enclosure’s three mounting notches onto
the three mounting hooks on the plate
attached to the wall. The notches will fit
over the hooks and the enclosure should
slide down onto the hooks until secure.
Note:
Mounting notches exist on both the upper
and lower rails of the back panel. This allows for
mounting in the standard or reversed positions.
3
After the mounting plate has been secured
and the enclosure hung properly, secure the
enclosure to the mounting plate by installing
the three supplied screws in the holes on
the mounting hooks as shown.
