Step 2: Mount Cabinets

There are two methods of mounting cabinets: wall or floor mounting. Wall mounting the most
common and economical method is described below. The floor mounting description begins
Page 3-27.
Note Toshiba recommends installing cabinets (see
Cabinet on top, first Expansion Cabinet below it, second cabinet below that, etc.

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 1.9cm (3/4") thick. The board should be at least
1.98m (6.5 feet) high (completely expanded systems with seven cabinets require this much height)
and 66cm (26") wide (minimum).
Secure the board to the wall with wood screws with the bottom edge of the board is 15.2cm (6")
above the floor. (If there are wall studs, make sure the screws align with the studs.)
2. Remove the front, back, and side covers from the Base Cabinet or first Remote Expansion Cabinet
(see Figure 3-5).
Note The two screws on the front cover and the two screws on each side cover should be loosened
just enough to slide the covers off. The front cover slides left and the side covers swing out and
down for removal.
3. Hold the Base Cabinet back cover against the wall or backboard so that its two top mounting holes
are approximately 1.98m (6.5 feet or 78 inches) above the floor. This allows up to seven cabinets
to be installed (top-down) with a 15.2cm (six-inch) clearance between the floor and bottom cabinet
(see Figures 3-6
4. Use a level to make sure that the back cover is held level.
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 2 inch size wood screws into the two drilled holes, leaving about 32mm (1/8 of an
inch) clearance between the screw heads and the wall.
9. Hang the Base Cabinet or first Remote Expansion Cabinet back cover from the top two screws and
secure the screws into the wall.
10. Drill holes at the bottom two mounting holes of the back cover, and secure #12 X 2 inch wood
screws into the two holes.
11. If installing a Base Cabinet or first Remote Expansion Cabinet back cover to the wall: Position the
cabinet on the back cover cabinet hangers, slide the cabinet right to the proper mounting position,
and secure the cabinet to the back cover with two screws on the right side of the cabinet. If
installing Expansion Cabinets, skip to
