3 Key mounting holes for mount surface
Each mounting bracket supports two sets of holes. Which set of holes is used depends on whether a keep out area is
required for ventilation:
If the top cover faces the mounting surface, a 10 mm keep out area is required between the top cover and the
mounting surface to ensure adequate ventilation and the mounting hole set shown in (Figure 22, pos. 1) must be
used.
If the bottom side faces the mounting surface, no keep out area is required between the bottom side and the
mounting surface as the bottom side does not contain ventilation holes and the mounting hole set shown in
Figure 22, pos. 2 can be used.
Obstructing the ventilation holes may cause overheating
ventilation openings are not covered or obstructed by objects.
Leave sufficient clearance (keep out area) to prevent the device from possibly overheating!
To ensure proper operation, use the specified recommended keep out areas of:
Top cover: 10 mm (0.394")
left and right side: 10 mm (0.394")
Front and rear panel: 10 mm (0.394")
Bottom side ( no keep out area)
Attaching the mounting brackets to the KBox B-201-CFL:
1. Consider which set of mounting holes is required for the mounting option.
If mounting with the top cover facing the mounting surface, to avoid obstructing the top cover’s ventilation
holes use the mounting holes shown in Figure 22, pos. 1, with a 10 mm keep out area.
If mounting with the bottom side facing the mounting surface, it is possible to use the mounting holes
shown in Figure 22, pos. 2.
2. With either the right or left sides facing upwards, align the mounting bracket’s mounting holes with the
correct mounting-hole pair on the side of the chassis.
3. Fasten the mounting brackets to the side using a Torx (08 x 60) screwdriver.
4. Attach the second mounting brackets on the opposite side, as in step 2 to 3.
