The following procedures detail how to install the DSAN 8211 housing: 

 

On a wall 

 

In a 19-inch equipment rack 

 

On a strand 

 

In a pedestal or cabinet 

 

Complete the following steps to install the DSAN 8211 housing on a wall or in a 19-
inch equipment rack. 
1 

Carefully select and prepare the area to receive the DSAN 8211 unit. 

 

Consider the weight of the DSAN 8211 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. 

Pass the self-tapping bolts with washers through the mounting bracket, part 
number 4028925, and into to 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).
