Hey guys,
I'm in a position to start installing my network around my house and over the last few months been running Cat5e around the upstairs of the house. It is my intention to mount a 9U wall cabinet in my loft and have my 1U 24-port CAT5e patch panel, 1U 24-Port 100/1000 Switch and 1U cable management located within it.
When mounting my cabinet to solid brick, what is the best method? I've been reading about dynabolts, if i use these, will the brick not crack/shatter as the bolt expands when tightened? Would it be best to mount within the mortar in between the bricks?
I also want to place my N40L in there too, but am wondering if the cabinet will:
a) take the weight of the server with 6 x 3.5in HDD's in it, and a switch.
b) is the best place for it. It's relatively dust free and also free from junk.
Your help is greatly appraciated...
Many thanks
