4.1
Placing panels
4.1.1 Placing rack mounted panels
Locate all panels at comfortable heights for operation and leave at least 2
inches (51 mm) of clearance behind the rear of the panel’s chassis to allow for
cable connectors.
Expansion panels are usually installed next to or near the main panel. Leave at
least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance behind the rear of each expansion panel to
allow for cable connectors.
Connect expansion panels using straight through 8-way shielded CAT5 cable
with RJ45 connectors.
Note: Expansion panels can be connected to the main panel in a daisy chain using
cables not more than 16 ft (5 m) long between each panel. The cable length of
any daisy chain of panels must not exceed 24 ft (7.5 m) in total.
4.1.2 Placing desktop panels
Desktop panels can be placed on a flat surface or they may be used as wall
mounted panels. Where desktop panels are placed on a flat surface leave at
least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance behind the rear of the panel to allow for
cable connectors.
To wall mount a desktop panel:
1) Check the contents of the panel fixing kit provided with the desktop
panel as shown below:
