for rack and module weights.
Be sure this mounting method complies with
your countries building and electrical codes.
Drill holes in the rear of the rack that are
sufficient for your structural and stability needs.
Generally speaking, hole placement closer to
the corners of the rack will provide more
stability.
ETC's wall mount vibration pads (ETC Part#
HW6111) attach to racks with the provided
bolts that are slightly larger than the top of
the keyhole slots. The bolt works fine
installed in the lower portion of the slot, but
the rack will mount slightly higher (approx.
10 mm) than the diagram indicates.
Align the center of the fitting over the hole locations from the diagram. Mark the
position for two fitting bolts for each vibration pad (the middle holes are recommended).
Drill the holes and secure the fittings to the wall. You must supply your own M10
mounting hardware.
Remove the included bolt and washer from each vibration fitting.
Position the rack on the wall so the centers of the vibration fittings align with the wall
mounting slots.
Secure the rack to its vibration pad with the included bolts and washer.
Unless the all mounting and connections are done in a flexible manner, the
effectiveness of the vibration pads will be reduced or completely negated.
This includes the use of at least 30 cm of flexible conduit or flexible cable for
all of the electrical connections to the rack(s).
Align the center of the fitting over the diagram
hole location and mark the position of the fitting
bolts
