5. Enclosure Configuration
5.4 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. (section 7.1 for
installation of cage nuts.) Warning: Be sure to have the enclosure securely mounted to
the wall, or in its final position on the floor, 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.)
5.5 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 2 mounting rails are pre-installed to accommodate different mounting depths, depending on
the model. 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 in 1/4-inch (6mm)
increments.
1
Each rail is connected to the enclosure with 2 screws and 2 cage nuts: 1 set 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.
Move cage nuts to the desired depth and reinstall.

Slide the mounting rails to the desired depth and reattach them using the screws you removed in
Step 1.
6. Wall Mounting the Enclosure
Warning: Do not attempt to mount the enclosure to the wall with equipment in the enclosure.
Note: Enclosure must be installed by a qualified technician. Before mounting, use a level and tape
measure to position your mounting area precisely. Use appropriate fasteners (not included) to secure the
enclosure to the wall. Use suitable mounting means when installing to cinder block, concrete, drywall or
wood studs. Warning: 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
www.tripplite.com/support.
Using user-supplied hardware, attach the mounting plate to a wall or other suitable mounting
1
surface. Each mounting hole can accommodate an M8 or 5/16" bolt and the holes are spaced
16" apart to accommodate standard stud placement as reflected in the diagram. Note: When
mounting the mounting plate to the wall, be sure the three mounting hooks are facing outwards
and away from the wall.
After the mounting plate has been securely attached to the mounting surface, hang the
2
enclosure's three mounting notches onto the three mounting hooks on the plate attached to the
wall. The notches will fit over the hooks and the enclosure should slide down onto the hooks
until secure. Note: Mounting notches exist on both the upper and lower rails of the back panel.
This allows for mounting in the standard or reversed positions.

After the mounting plate has been secured and the enclosure hung properly, secure the
enclosure to the mounting plate by installing the three supplied screws in the holes on the
mounting hooks as shown.
