How to mount data cabinet into brick?

I have a data cabinet I want to mount in my garage, all the walls are brick.

 

Some people have said it's ok to use the expansion bolts that the cabinet came with, others say bolt some ply onto the brick.

 

I am confused on how to mount it.

 

Any advice appreciated, I want it up high near the ceiling/cornice 

 

Was going to put it in the corner, but the alarm sensor is located

Hi @Booki,

 

I'd just like to double-check with the Ramset technical team on whether those fixings are suitable. I'm awaiting their response now and will update you as soon as I have some more information. However, I believe the response will be that due to the hollow nature of the bricks, they require the sieve method Jacob has recommended.

Hi @Booki,

 

I have confirmed with Ramset that the Ramset 8 x 60mm Galvanised AnkaScrew Masonry Anchor is suitable for hollowcore bricks.
