Wall-Mounting
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.
Statement 378
Do not wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing up. Following safety regulations, wall-mount the
switch with its front panel facing down or to the side to prevent airflow restriction and to provide easier
access to the cables
Caution
Step 1
Locate the screw template. The template is used to align the mounting screw holes.
Step 2
Position the screw template so that the edge that is marked as CABLE SIDE ENTRY faces toward the floor.
For the best support of the switch and cables, make sure that you attach the switch securely to a wall stud or to
a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard
