TS4500 mini PC placement

I had the opportunity to watch the SSRs working on Call Home problem with the TS4500.  I would like to suggest an engineering change on the IMC min PC physical placement for consideration.

The IMC mini PC is placed at the bottom corner of the end frame/cover which has raised edge.  The SSRs had challenges removing and installing the CAT6 cable because the mini PC is placed so close to the edge.

My suggestion is to set up the mini PC like the IMC console.  The same tray that is used for the IMC console can be used to place the mini PC.  The mini PC should be placed in the middle of the tray with cables feeding from the bottom.  The tray should be placed about a foot from the bottom of the cover.  This should help with problem determination, Call Home/AOS configuration, and installation.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
