As these units weigh in at about 40 pounds (>18 KG), we strongly encourage you to
provide a shelf or rear support to distribute the load more evenly if rack-mounting
is planned.
Good front and rear access is important for convenience in cabling, access to
removable drive bays, and should be considered mandatory for ventilation and
cooling.
SECTION 22.12 TRICASTER 8000 CS
Normally, the 8000 CS is used in a table-top configuration. Otherwise, the ½” (1.2
cm) rabbet provided at the front and back of the panel (only) permits you to embed
the base in a cutout prepared for the purpose.

If you plan to mount the surface in the latter manner, take care that the thickness of
the supporting material does not block access to the AC power connection and USB
port at rear left on the control surface body.
