The 12-24 screws supplied with the DCM Controller are the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If you are installing the DCM Controller in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws that are supplied with the controller. (Complete step 1 below, and plan which four holes you will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips. Then proceed to step 2.)

1.Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the mounting brackets to the DCM Controller with the included 8-mm M4 screws.

The mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated, allowing for a variety of mounting options.

2.Hold the DCM Controller with attached brackets up to the rack and move it vertically until rack holes line up with the bracket holes; then insert and tighten the four number 12-24 screws holding the brackets to the rack.

Mounting the DCM Controller on a Horizontal Surface

Place the DCM Controller on a table or other horizontal surface. The controller ships with rubber feet that you can use to help keep it from sliding on the surface.

Attach the rubber feet to the four corners on the bottom of the DCM Controller within the embossed angled lines. Use a sturdy surface in an uncluttered area. You may want to secure the networking cables and switch power cord to the table leg or other part of the surface structure to help prevent people from tripping over the cords.
