Instructions for Wall Mounting the NetVanta PoE Power Supply
Step
Action
1
Decide on a location for the power supply. Keep in mind that the power supply needs to be mounted close
enough to the NetVanta unit for the cords to reach the receptacles.
2
Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board (typically plywood, 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick) to a wall
stud.
Important! Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using sheetrock anchors may not provide sufficient long-
term stability.
3
Install two #8 PAN head screws (1-inch or greater in length) into the mounted board, following these
guidelines and referring to
Figure 44 on page 83
.
•
Mark the exact positioning of the screws by using the keyhole slots on the sides of the unit as a
template.
•
Screws should be horizontally level with each other.
•
Leave approximately 1/4-inch of the screws protruding from the board to allow the heads of the screws
to slide into place in the unit’s keyhole slots.
4
Insert the screws through the keyhole slots in both sides of the unit and slide the slot securely onto the
screws.
5
Proceed to the steps given in
Supplying Power to the Unit on page 83
.
The NetVanta PoE power supply and the NetVanta base unit with which it is
associated both should be installed in a restricted access location as described in
UL 60950-1, first edition.
Under full load, the NetVanta PoE power supply may be hot to the touch.
