Wall Mounting the NetVanta

By following these instructions exactly, the NetVanta can be safely mounted on the wall.

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

Instructions for Wall Mounting the NetVanta

Step Action

1 Attach the rack mounting brackets rotated 90 degrees so the rackmount tab (two screw holes)

is parallel with the unit. Reattach the mounting ears to the chassis (see Figure 5 on page 26).

2 Decide on a location for the NetVanta, keeping in mind that the unit needs to be mounted at or

below eye-level so that the LEDs are viewable.

Warning! The NetVanta 6240/6250 can only be wall mounted with the front panel facing to the

right, to the left, or downward (see the example in Figure 5 on page 26). Do not mount with

the LED facing up.

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

to a wall stud using #6 to #10 (2.5-inch or greater in length) wood screws.

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

sufficient long-term stability.

4 Have an assistant hold the unit in position as you install two #6 to #10 (1-inch or greater in

length) wood screws through the unit’s brackets and into the mounted board (see Figure 5 on

page 26).

5 Proceed to the steps given in Supplying Power to the Unit on page 27 or Supplying DC Power

to the NetVanta 6250 on page 27 (NetVanta 6250 only) as appropriate.
