Mounting The

Main Cabinet

Comdial recommends that you mount both cabinets on a

main-distribution frame

(3/4-inch

plywood works well). Before you

begin mounting the equipment, decide upon the overall layout and

draw outlines of each piece of equipment on the backboard.

When you secure the backboard to the wall, make sure the screws go

through the studs in the wall and not just through the sheet rock or

wall covering. A fully-loaded DXP can weigh from 80 to 100 pounds,

so the stability of the mounting is crucial. Mounting the backboard to

the wall studs provides all the stability the DXP needs.

Remember to mount the cabinet on the left side of the MDF; all of the

wiring connections are on the right side of the main cabinet, so putting

the cabinet on the left keeps the wiring as short as possible.

The DXP main cabinet has six screw-mount openings. These

mounting holes are approximately 24.5 inches apart.

Insert the top two mounting screws into the backboard and

tighten them within approximately

l/4-inch

of the mounting

surface. You may have to drill these holes ahead of time,

depending upon your mounting surface.

Hang the cabinet on the top screws, sliding it down until it

hangs securely.

Then, insert and tighten the remaining four screws through the

mounting tabs located on the lower edge of the cabinet.

Finally, tighten all six screws until they are flush with the

DXP. The screws for the DXP itself only need to go through

the backboard to ensure stability.

If you are going to mount an expansion cabinet, remove the

access plates from the top of the main cabinet; this is where

you will run the connecting cables between the two cabinets.
