Wall Mounting the NetVanta
By following these instructions exactly, the NetVanta can be safely mounted on the wall.
Instructions for Rack Mounting the NetVanta
Step Action
1 Attach the rackmount brackets in the appropriate position using the supplied screws.
2 To allow proper grounding, scrape the paint from the rack around the mounting holes where the
NetVanta will be positioned.
3 Position the NetVanta in a stationary equipment rack allowing 1U space above the unit for
ventilation.
4 Have an assistant hold the unit in position as you install two mounting bolts through the unit’s
brackets and into the equipment rack using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
5 Proceed to the steps given in
Supplying Power to the Unit on page 20
.
• To avoid damaging the unit, use only the screws included in the shipment when
attaching mounting ears to the chassis.
• When wall mounting the NetVanta, care must be taken not to damage the
power cord. Do not attach the power cord to the building surface or run it
through walls, ceilings. floors, or openings in the building structure.
• The socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily
accessible.
Instructions for Wall Mounting the NetVanta
Step Action
1 Attach the 19-inch rack mounting brackets rotated 90 degrees so the rackmount tab (two screw
holes) is parallel with the bottom of the unit (see
Figure 4 on page 20
).
2 Decide on a location for the NetVanta, keeping in mind that the unit needs to be mounted at or
below eye-level so that the LEDs are viewable. The NetVanta 3148/4148 Series can only be
wall mounted with the front panel facing towards the left (see
Figure 4 on page 20
).
3 Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board (typically plywood, 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick)
to a wall stud using #6 to #10 (2.5-inch or greater in length) wood screws.
Important! Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using sheetrock anchors may not provide
sufficient long-term stability.
4 Have an assistant hold the unit in position as you install two #6 to #10 (1-inch or greater in
length) wood screws through the unit’s brackets and into the mounted board (see
Figure 4 on
page 20
).
