Instructions for Wall Mounting Total Access 900e Series

Step Action

1 Attach the rack mounting brackets rotated 90 degrees so the rackmount tab (two screw holes)

is parallel with the top of the unit (see Figure 4 on page 23)

2 Decide on a location for the Total Access 900e Series. Keep in mind that the unit needs to be

mounted at or below eye level so that the LEDs are visible.

Warning! The Total Access 900e Series can only be wall mounted with the front panel facing to

the right, to the left, or downward (see the example in Figure 4 on page 23). Do not mount

with the LED facing up.

3 Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board (typically plywood, 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick)

to a wall stud using #6 to #10 (2.5-inch or greater in length) wood screws.

Important! Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using sheetrock anchors may not provide

sufficient long-term stability.

4 Have an assistant hold the unit in position as you install two #6 to #10 (1-inch or greater in

length) wood screws through the unit’s brackets and into the mounted board (see Figure 4 on

page 23).

5 Proceed to the steps given in Grounding Instructions on page 24.
