the back of the unit for wall mounting. Follow local codes and
company practices for the proper wall type.
‐ WALL MOUNTING WITH EARS NOTE ‐
As an option, the rack mount ears can be used for wall‐mounting the unit,
using the last, rear‐most, hole‐set on the sides of the VELGX‐90. As
shown in Figure 9, this mounting configuration provides an additional 2”
of free space at the rear of the unit for cables, etc., if desired. Note that ca
ble clamps will not work well with this mounting option.
1.
Determine position on wall.
Select the mounting location
on the approved wall. The VELGX‐90 may be mounted
horizontally or vertically with the large bottom surface
abutting the wall (Figure 8), or with the smaller rear sur
face abutting the wall (Figure 7).
2.
Mark and drill holes.
Place the VELGX‐90 against the
wall in the desired mounting location, then mark the
mounting hole locations to be drilled. Set the unit aside
then drill the mounting holes, per company practice. Do
not drill holes too big.
3.
Partially install screws.
Install a screw (with a head diame
ter smaller than the diameter of the largest part of the
keyholes on the unit) into each drilled hole in the wall and
thread it into the wall until only ¼ remains and protrudes
from the wall. Repeat for each screw.
4.
Hang unit from protruding screws.
Lift then hang the unit
(at the keyhole‐shaped mounting holes) from the protrud
ing screws in the wall. Slide the unit left or right, or up or
down, til the narrow part of the keyholes are behind the
screw heads.
5.
Tighten the screws.
Finish driving all mounting screws un
til hand‐tight. Attempt to wiggle the unit to test the
installation stability. Correct any instability.

Making Ground Connections
The Westell VE panels are shipped from the factory with
ground lug posts (see Figure 11) capable of accepting #6
ground wire for rack and wall‐mount applications. The install
er should make a ground connection to the ground posts using
