5. Enclosure Configuration
Before installation, make sure to plan the location and arrangement of components within the enclosure.
5.1 Door Locks
The side doors and front panel contain locks that are accessible with the included keys.
5.2 Cable Access and Management
Two additional openings can be found on both the top and bottom of the cabinet. Each of the four
openings on the top and bottom of the cabinet can be closed by screwing in the removable cable
access panels.
5.3 Mounting Rails
The enclosure comes with mounting rails that have both square and tapped holes for mounting rack
equipment. To install equipment, use the included cage nuts and other hardware. (See page 7 for
installation of cage nuts.) Warning: Be sure to have the enclosure securely mounted to the
wall before mounting any equipment inside. Also be sure to have all the right adjustments
on your rails before mounting equipment. (See below for Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth.)
5.4 Adjusting Mounting Rail Depth
Warning: Do not attempt to adjust rails while equipment is installed in the enclosure.
Do not attempt to use rails without screws installed. (2 per rail.)
The 4 mounting rails are pre-installed to accommodate equipment with a mounting depth of 20.5
inches (521 mm). Do not adjust the mounting rails unless your equipment requires a different
mounting depth. The front and rear sets of rails can be adjusted independently for mounting of
equipment with depths between 3 inches (76 mm) and 32.5 inches (826 mm).

Each rail is connected to the enclosure with 2 screws: 1 in the upper corner and another in the
lower corner. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws that fasten the rails to the
enclosure.
Slide the mounting rails to the desired depth and reattach them using the screws you removed
