How to install Black Box L-Box Wallmount

Installing the L-Box Wallmount is a straightforward process designed to deliver secure mounting and organized cabling with minimal effort. Follow these steps to ensure a clean, efficient setup that supports proper cooling, accessibility, and future upgrades.

• Choose the right location: Select a wall surface with solid framing and enough clearance for airflow and cable routing. Confirm there is adequate space behind the cabinet for rear cabling and for any potential door or cover access, if applicable.
• Prepare mounting rails: Position the included 10-32 tapped Rails (6U) at the desired height on the back mounting surface. Use a level to ensure rails are perfectly horizontal to prevent misalignment of equipment later.
• Secure the rails: Attach the rails using the provided twenty (20) 10-32 mounting screws. Tighten securely to prevent any sag or movement under load. Double-check levelness after initial fasteners are in place.
• Mount your equipment: With rails secured, begin mounting 19-inch equipment by aligning chassis holes with the rails. Use the included 10-32 screws to fasten devices so they remain stable during operation and maintenance. Start with heavier components and proceed to lighter items to maintain balance and control during installation.
• Route cables: Use the two 3-inch back knockouts for wiring entry. Route power and data cables carefully, taking advantage of the multiple back tie-down points to secure bundles and prevent movement or abrasion. Label cables as you go for easier troubleshooting in the future.
• Enhance cooling: If additional cooling is needed, utilize the 4-inch knockouts at the top and bottom for optional fan installation. Ensure any fans are properly rated for your enclosure and that wiring complies with electrical safety standards.
• Final checks: Verify all mounts are tight, equipment is secured, and cabling has sufficient clearance for maintenance access and airflow. Power up the system and confirm that all devices initialize correctly and remain within safe operating temperatures.
