Wall-Mounting a 5-Slot Carrier and Modules
Install the 5-slot carrier within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of a properly grounded wall outlet (not
controlled by a switch) and the network interface jacks. When you mount the carrier on the wall,
leave at least 1 foot (0.3 meter) of clearance at the top and sides, and 2 feet (0.6 meter) at the
front and bottom to ensure proper ventilation.
The location of each module within the carrier is important; place the modules as
instructed in the following procedure.
For a 5-slot carrier, you need four #12 screws of the appropriate type for the wall and weight of
the control unit (a control unit with four expansion modules and a processor module weighs
approximately 31 pounds or 14 kilograms). The weight of other configurations may vary slightly.
Follow these steps to wall-mount the 5-slot carrier
and modules:
1. Using the enclosed template, mark the screw
locations on the wall (see
mounting the carrier on plywood, start four #12
screws supplied with the carrier, leaving the
screw heads extending approximately 1/4 inch
(0.64 cm) from the wall. If you are mounting on
drywall, use wall anchors, which must be
purchased separately.
2. Before installing any modules, make sure the
clear, plastic protector has been removed from
the connector area on the rear of each module.
To remove the protector, grasp the tabs on the
ends of the protector and lift (see
3. Insert the PARTNER ACS processor module in
the center slot of the carrier.
