separately, follow these steps to detach the
control unit from the modem, attach the strain-
relief brackets, and attach the “L” mounting
brackets.

securing the rack-mount brackets to the front
of the control unit and modem (see Figure 9
on page 7). Remove the brackets.
b. Remove the 16 #6-32 screws and washers
securing the four metal retaining straps to the
control unit and modem (see Figure 12).
Remove the straps.
c. Attach a strain-relief bracket to the back of
the control unit using four of the screws and
washers you removed in Step b (see
Figure 13).
d. Attach a second strain-relief bracket to the
back of the modem using four of the screws
and washers you removed in Step b (see
Figure 14).
e. Attach two of the supplied “L” brackets to
the sides of the control unit using four #6-32
screws and washers (see Figure 11 on page 7).
You can attach the brackets at either the top
or bottom of the control unit, depending on
your desired mounting location.
f. Attach the two other supplied “L” brackets to
the sides of the modem using four #6-32
screws and washers (see Figure 11 on page 7).
You can attach the brackets at either the top
