Wall Mounting the NetVanta

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

• NetVanta units are to be installed only by qualified service personnel.

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

attaching mounting ears to the chassis.

• When wall mounting the NetVanta, care must be taken not to damage the power cord.

Do not attach the power cord to the building surface or run it through walls, ceilings,

floors, or openings in the building structure.

• The socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.

Instructions for Wall Mounting the NetVanta

Step Action

1 Remove the mounting ears. Rotate them 90 degrees so that the portion of the bracket with the

mounting holes is flush with the bottom of the chassis. Reattach the mounting ears to the

chassis (see Figure 14 on page 36).

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. The NetVanta should be wall mounted with the

front panel facing up (see Figure 14 on page 36).

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

to a wall stud.

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 14 on

page 36).

5 Proceed to the steps given in Supplying Power to the Unit on page 36.
