Wall-mount the switch vertically
The bottom panel of the switch provides two VESA mount holes at an exact distance of
2.95 in. (75 mm), center-to-center, so that you can mount the switch vertically to a wall.
The switch ships with wall-mount screws and anchors that you can secure to a wall and
attach the switch to.
To mount the switch vertically to a wall:
1. Locate the two VESA mount holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
2. Mark the holes on the wall where you want to mount the switch.
The holes must be 2.95 in. (75 mm) apart, center-to-center.
3. Drill holes into the wall for four anchors in which you will insert M4 x L25 mm screws.
The screws and anchors are in the switch package.
4. Insert the anchors into the wall and tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Leave about ¼ inch (6 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can
insert the screws into the holes on the bottom of the switch.
5. Line up the holes on the bottom panel of the switch with the screws in the wall and
mount the switch to the wall.
You can mount the switch with the front panel facing left (the Ethernet cables will be
on the left, see the left figure) or facing right (the Ethernet cables will be on the right,
see the right figure).
Mount the switch to a pole or another surface
You can use an off-the-shelf 75 mm VESA standard mount to secure the switch to a pole
or another surface.
