Wall Mounting the Base (Top) Cabinet

Follow these instructions to wall mount the Base Cabinet or the first Remote Expansion Cabinet.
A wooden backboard between the cabinet and the wall is necessary (see
1. Obtain a board, such as plywood, that is at least 3/4 of an inch thick. The board should be at
least 6-1/2 feet high (completely expanded systems with seven cabinets require this much
height) and 26 inches wide (minimum).
Secure the board to the wall with wood screws with the bottom edge of the board is six inches
above the floor. (If there are wall studs, make sure the screws align with the studs.)

3. Hold the Base Cabinet back cover against the wall or backboard so that its two top mounting
holes are approximately 6-1/2 feet (78 inches) above the floor. This allows up to seven
cabinets to be installed (top-down) with a six-inch clearance between the floor and bottom
cabinet (see Figures 7-6

5. Trace the upper arch of the top mounting holes with a pencil.
6. Remove the back cover from the wall. Draw a line between the top two marking hole marks.
7. Drill holes on the line in the middle of the arch tracing.
8. Screw #12 X 1.25 inch size wood screws into the two drilled holes, leaving about 1/8 of an
inch clearance between the screw heads and the wall.

and secure the screws into the wall.
