That depends on aisle spacing. A four post box has some dimension. Depending upon the aisle spacing, it could obstruct an aisle or obstruct access to other equipment. Midmounting works great in properly sized aisles with defined "working sides" etc. I hate it when I catch something on a box that should be in a cabinet but for some reason it was midmounted when it shouldn't have been. It is kind of dangerous, especially if it's eye level. -M -- Martin Hannigan (c) 617-388-2663 VeriSign, Inc.
