Chapter 2 Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches)
Installing the Switch
Mounting the Switch on a Wall
For the best support of the switch and cables, make sure the switch is attached securely to wall studs or
to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard. Mount the switch with the front panel facing up, as
shown in
Figure 2-12
.
See the
“Wall-Mounting” section on page 2-12
for the switches that can also mount with the front panel
facing down.
Warning
Read the wall-mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the
correct hardware or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people
and damage to the system.
