Tabletop Installation of the NetVanta
Install the NetVanta on a sturdy, level tabletop or shelf that can support at least 9.35 lbs (4.24 kg). Allow enough
space for ventilation between the NetVanta and other objects in the vicinity.
Wall Mounting the NetVanta
By following these instructions exactly, the NetVanta can be safely mounted to the wall.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the NetVanta unit to properly dissipate
heat. Leave at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space at the front and rear of the NetVanta for
ventilation.

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.
