Installing the BCM1000e on the wall

The BCM1000e must be installed close enough to the BCM1000 that the 5 m (16 ft.) cable between the unit and the BCM1000 can be connected without stress on the cable.

Caution: Refer to “Environment checklist” on page 67 for acceptable environmental conditions before selecting a location for the BCM1000e.

Required equipment:

•a wall mounting bracket (supplied with the unit)

•two #10 x 2.5 cm (#10 x 1 in.) round head wood screws

•a plywood backboard 2 cm (3/4 in.) thick

Follow these steps to mount the BCM1000e on wall:

1Install the 2 cm (3/4 in.) plywood backboard on the wall.

Note: If the backboard for the BCM1000 has enough room for the BCM1000e, you do not require a second backboard.

2Choose a location on the backboard that is level and leaves enough space on the sides (23 cm or 9 in.) to insert and remove the media bay modules.

3Use the slotted holes on the wall mounting bracket to mark the location for the two mounting screws.

4Screw two #10 x 2.5 cm (#10 x 1 in.) screws into the backboard, leaving 6 mm (1/4 in.) of the two screws showing.

5Align the screw holes between the unit and the wall mounting bracket.

6Fasten the wall mounting bracket using four screws. Refer to Figure 34.
