Mounting the cabinets
If the Small System cabinets require earthquake bracing, refer to the
earthquake bracing requirements in the chapters on system and site
requirements in Small System: Planning and Engineering (553-3011-120)
before continuing.
To mount cabinets on a wall you need:
• the equipment layout plan as developed in the chapters on system and site
requirements in Small System: Planning and Engineering
(553-3011-120)
• the mounting bracket supplied with each cabinet
• seven 1 in. #12 screws provided or other appropriate fasteners to secure
the mounting bracket and cabinet to the wall
• a 3/4 in. (20 mm) sheet of plywood secured to the wall
• one 1 in. #12 screw and an alignment bracket if installing an expansion
cabinet next to the main cabinet (horizontal expansion)
DANGER
A fully loaded cabinet weighs up to 75 lb (34 kg). Make
sure that the equipment is securely fastened to the wall.
Use fasteners that are designed to hold securely in the
type of surface chosen to support the equipment. When
using 3/4 in. (20 mm) plywood or other similar material as
a backboard, make sure that it is anchored directly to the
wall studs in a minimum of six locations.
