6. Wall Mounting the Enclosure
1. Mount the enclosure to wall studs
Do not attempt to mount the enclosure to the wall with equipment in the enclosure.
The supporting surface must be able to safely support the combined load of the equipment
and all attached hardware and components. For the actual weight, size and load capacity of
the enclosure, view the product specifications and other support resources at
• Enclosure must be installed by a qualified technician. Before mounting, use a level and tape measure to position your
mounting area precisely. Use a minimum of four screws (not included, sizes will vary by model) to secure the enclosure in
place. A fender washer with close cell foam is provided with the cabinet. The close cell foam side of the washer should be
against the cabinet to seal the mounting hole.
• Make sure mounting screws are anchored into the center of the studs. Use of a stud finder is highly recommended.
• If there is no stud at the mounting location, it is recommended you install studs at the desired location to secure the
enclosure in place. Do NOT use plastic expansion wall anchors, threaded drywall anchors, threaded drywall toggles,
sleeve-type hollow wall anchors (a.k.a. molly bolts) or toggle bolts, due to the weight of the enclosure.
• Use suitable mounting means when installing to cinder block, concrete or wood studs. It is the installer's responsibility to
choose suitable mounting hardware (not supplied). Do NOT use plastic expansion wall anchors, threaded drywall anchors,
threaded drywall toggles, sleeve-type hollow wall anchors (a.k.a. molly bolts) or toggle bolts, due to the weight of the
enclosure.
• If placing the enclosure over a telecommunications receptacle, remove the wall plate, then fasten the enclosure to the
wall. Once secured, fasten the wall plate over the receptacle.
• If no telecommunications receptacle is available, a surface mount box (or biscuit jack) and equipment cord can be
mounted inside the unit.
• Use an adhesive-backed surface mount box.
Remove the back door from the enclosure by removing
A
the nuts securing the hinges to the cabinet body.
Warning: Never attempt to lift or install without adequate help.
Do not try lifting the enclosure alone.
