Once you have identified suitable mounting sites
for the switchplate and MCP, follow these steps
to prepare the sites for installation.

Switchplate

a. Using the switchplate mounting template

provided at the end of this manual, mark and

cut out a hole in the mounting surface to

accommodate the switchplate (see Figure 7).

b. Using the same template, mark the locations

for the four switchplate mounting holes.

c. Drill a 3/32" (2.25 mm) hole at the four

mounting hole locations. Later, you will

mount the switchplate using four #6 screws.

MCP (Flush Mount only)

NOTE: Skip this step if you plan to mount the MCP
to a horizontal surface instead.

a. Attach the supplied flush mount bracket to

the MCP now, before you connect any cables.

Simply slide the bracket onto the MCP from

behind and position the front edge of the

bracket over the seam line between the front

bezel and the chassis. Secure the bracket in

place using two #6-32 screws and washers

(see Figure 8).

b. Using the MCP flush mounting template

provided at the end of this manual, mark and

cut out a hole in the mounting surface to

accommodate the flush mount bracket (see

Figure 9).

c. Using the same template, mark the locations

for the four MCP mounting holes.

d. Using a #29 drill bit, drill a 0.136" (3.45 mm)

hole at the four mounting hole locations.

Later, you will mount the MCP using four #8

screws.
