Cable Management
Cable Access Openings
There are cable access openings in
the roof , sides , and base of
the cabinet. The rear cabling
channel on the back of the cabinet
provides clearance for wiring
between the doors and the mounting
rails. it is recommended to use the
clearance between the rear
mounting rails and rear door for
routing data and power cables —
data on one side, and power on the
other side.
Before routing wires through the side
access holes on the cabinet with
side panels, ensure the protective
grommets (included) are installed
into the cable access openings.
Remove the Skirts
For additional cable access, you can
remove the skirts at the front and rear of
the cabinet by removing the two
countersunk screws in each skirt.
