Instructions for Wallmounting NetVanta 2300 or NetVanta 2400

Step Action

1 Orient the brackets (mounting ears), one on each side, such that the portion of the bracket with

the mounting holes is flush with the bottom of the chassis (see Figure 10 on page 28). (If the

brackets are already attached in a rackmounting position, you will have to detach them and

rotate them 90 degrees to orient them properly, as shown in the figure.)

2 Decide on a location for the NetVanta 2000 Series. Mount the unit at or below eye-level so that

the LEDs are viewable.

Important! Mount the chassis with LEDs facing to the side (not up or down) as shown in Figure

10).

3 Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board (typically plywood, 3/ 4" to 1" thick) to a wall

stud.

Important! Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using sheetrock anchors may not provide

sufficient long-term stability.

4 Have someone else hold the unit in position as you install two 3/ 32" to 1/ 8" (1 1/ 2" or greater

in length) wood screws through the each of the unit’s brackets and into the mounted board. See

Figure 10 on page 28.

5 Proceed to the steps given in Supplying Power to the Unit on page 29.

To avoid damaging unit, use only the screws included in shipment when attaching

mounting ears to the chassis.
