Installing the Cabinet
Planning the Installation
Before installing the common equipment, you should mount a Main Distribution Frame (MDF) plywood
backboard in a centrally located spot. A 1/2 sheet of plywood (4’ x 4’) should be more than adequate (see
Figure 1-1
Installation Layout below). Mount this backboard using suitable fasteners, taking care to adhere
to standard installation practices and local codes.
The equipment cabinet requires a three-prong, dedicated 110 VAC 60 Hz circuit (NEMA 5-15 receptacle)
located within 4 1/2’ feet of the cabinet’s lower left corner.
Normally, you install the extension blocks and trunk/AUX jacks to the right of the Main Cabinet.
!! Important !!
• Local codes may prohibit you from installing extensions, trunks and optional equipment in
the same blocks.
• Do not plug in the 25-pair extension cable with power applied.
