how to install Black Box Wallmount Rack

• Assess the installation site and locate wall studs or reinforce the mounting surface to support the full 100 lb capacity. Use a level to ensure the rack sits plumb and evenly distributes weight once loaded.
• Plan device placement carefully, grouping similar equipment and leaving space for cables, patch panels, and adequate airflow behind and around mounted gear.
• Mark the mounting points using the rack’s 12-24 tapped rail holes, ensuring spacing aligns with your wall structure and hardware choices. Double-check measurements to prevent misalignment during installation.
• Secure the rack to the wall with appropriate fasteners for your wall material (studs, concrete, or reinforced backing). Tighten fasteners to manufacturer torque recommendations to prevent movement or tilting under load.
• Install devices into the rack using the included 12-24 x 1/2" screws, distributing weight evenly and tying off cables with ties or routing channels to maintain a tidy, accessible workspace.
