Ensure rails are level and securely fastened to support the weight of mounted equipment. Use proper hardware and reach compliance with all local mounting requirements.
• Mount equipment and route cables: Place AV gear (routers, encoders, amplifiers, etc.) into the 19" bays. Route power and signal cables through built-in openings or cable channels to minimize clutter. Use zip ties or Velcro straps to secure cables and maintain airflow, avoiding obstructing ventilation grilles.
