4.3Installation Area for the Modular Cabinet(s)

zDo not mount the cabinet to drywall using plastic drywall plugs. Recommended mounting of the Modular Cabinet(s) is to a plywood back board which is securely mounted to the wall in the switch room. The plywood board should be a minimum of 1/2" thick and be secured to the wall by the appropriate hardware (i.e. toggle bolts, wood, or sheet metal screws, depending on the stud types) to ensure that the plywood will support the weight of the cabinets with all cards and cables installed.

zThe RE may consist of up to 4 Modular Cabinets. The Modular Cabinets must be mounted next to each other (see Figure 4–1).

zThe Modular Cabinet(s) must be mounted to the wall at a position where they are easily accessible for installation and maintenance of the system. Take into consideration that the number of cabinets may be expanded in the future.

zThe Modular Cabinet(s) should be mounted at the normal working height. The lower edge of the Modular Cabinet(s) should be about 5.25 ft. above the floor.

zAbove the Modular Cabinet(s) there should be at least 4" free space for air circulation.

zModular Cabinets must be separated approximately 1/8" from each other.

zDo not mount anything within 1.5 ft. of the bottom of the cabinets to allow the bottom plate to swing down and to allow for cable entry from the bottom of the cabinet. See Fig. 4–1 Installation of the Modular Cabinet(s)

zDo not mount the cabinet(s) over flammable surfaces.
