After configuring the DSAN for your installation, complete the following procedures 
to install the unit. For additional details, see Hardware Installation (on page 39). 

Complete the following steps to install the DSAN housing on a wall or in a 19-inch 
equipment rack. 
1  Carefully select and prepare the area to receive the DSAN unit. 

 

Consider the weight of the DSAN unit itself, the mounting bracket, and all 
attached cabling and accessories. 

 

Consider any possible accidental impact from passing foot traffic or moving 
objects. Avoid mounting the unit in high traffic areas. 

 

Consider any additional stress that may be placed on the mounting surface 
and hardware by accidental snagging of attached cabling. 

 

When mounting the unit on a wall, choose a location that allows for 
mounting into studs. Pre-drill pilot holes into the studs for four 5/16 x 2-inch 
(minimum length) lag bolts. Use the mounting bracket, part number 4028925, 
as a guide. 

 

When mounting the unit in a rack, note that the height of the mounting 
bracket occupies 14 in. (35.6 cm) or 8 rack units. 

2  Remove the two self-tapping bolts from the strand clamps. Set the bolts and 

strand clamps aside. 

3  Place a lock washer and a flat washer on each self-tapping strand clamp bolt, 

arranged so that the lock washer is directly under the head of each bolt. 

4  Pass the self-tapping bolts with washers through the mounting bracket, part 

number 4028925, and into the back of the housing as shown in the following 
illustration. Torque the self-tapping bolts from 8 to 10 ft-lb (10.8 to 13.6 Nm).
