Installing an Expansion Hub Using the 12” Wall-Mounted Rack
Considerations:
• The rack (PN4712) is 305 mm (12 in.) deep. The Expansion Hub is 381 mm (15
in.) deep. You must move the rack mounting brackets on the Expansion Hub, as
shown in Figure 7-16) to the center mounting position to allow for the 76 mm (3
in.) rear clearance that is required.
• The maximum weight the rack can hold is 22.5 kg (50 lbs).
Figure 7-16 Bracket Detail For Wall Mount Rack (PN 4712)
To install the hub in a wall-mounted rack:
1. Attach the equipment rack to the wall using the screws that are provided.
The rack must be positioned so that the Expansion Hub will be in a horizontal
position when it is installed.
NOTE: If wall stud spacing of 16” is not available, TE recommends that
3/4” plywood be pre-installed to the wall. You can then attach the bracket to
the plywood using the wood screws.
2. Remove both of the rack mounting brackets from the Hub.
3. Reattach each of the rack mounting brackets to the recessed wall mount position
(Figure 7-16).
4. Install the Hub in the rack using the rack mounting screws.
5. Tighten the mounting screws.
