Tia-
For starters, look at the way other equipment is mounted in your bays. Then, mount it as well or better.
Stainless steel hardware is better than mild steel where moisture might cause rust.
A sealant is warranted where water might come into the bay around the fastenings.
Check in the area behind where you may mount equipment, to ensure there are no wires, plumbing or unwanted structural elements in the way.
If a piece of equipment is heavy, subject to vibration, or where it might move/fall and create a big problem (think battery compartment), secure with bolts with stop nuts and into structural elements.
For the EMS in particular, use correctly-sized wire into and out of it, and if you put it in the rear of the compartment, leave a service loop such that you can bring it to the front for inspection, repair or removal. If you have a remote display (recommended), mount it either inside or outside, as convenient to wherever you will be when you are diagnosing an AC power problem. If there is a chance that objects put into the compartment will chafe the wiring to and from the EMS, wrap the wiring in loom (I prefer the grey-stripe nylon loom for its flexibility and better heat resistance than the polyethylene loom, but it's a personal opinion).
