I mounted my TU56 in an H960 recently(ish). The block you mention only acts as a support while you bolt the TU56 in and isn't needed afterwards. The TU56 is too heavy to easily support with one hand while you put in a couple of bolts - the manual advises separating the front panel and reassembli8ng after mounting but that seems more bother than it's worth. I bolted a piece of scrap across the H960 to hold the TU56 up while I put the bolts in. 5-minute job.
