    ADCP-90-545 • Issue 4 • July 2016 This manual contains all procedures required to install and operate any FL1000 product or product option. The procedures are presented in the order in which they would normally be done, with separate installation sections for rack-mount and wall-mount units. Select from the procedures based on your specific installation.

  • Page 3: Rack-Mount Panel Installation

    Installing a Rack-Mount Chassis The FL1000 rack-mount panel can be installed on either a 19-inch (48.26 cm) or 23-inch (58.42 cm) rack. It is designed for mounting in an EIA style rack, but a WECO style rack can also be used. It can be mounted flush on the rack or with a 5-inch (12.7 cm) recess.

    Note: If using a cable clamp (as opposed to a compression fitting), install the cable clamp prior to mounting the box on the wall. FL1000 wall-mount boxes can be mounted directly to any wall, but CommScope recommends that they be mounted, using the #12 woodscrews supplied with the unit, on a 3/4-inch thick plywood panel that is attached to the wall in accordance with local fire code.
