Wall Mounting

The BayStack 350T switch can be installed onto any wall that can safely support

the weight of the device and attached cables (see “

Site Preparation” on page 2-3

for safety considerations). The BayStack 350T switch can be mounted with or

without the rubber footpads attached.

Before Mounting the BayStack 350T Switch to a Wall

Before installing the BayStack 350T switch onto the wall, take note of the

following considerations that apply to wall mounting:

• The BayStack 350T switch can only be wall mounted with the front panel

facing upward, as shown in Figure

2-4.

• Because the LEDs are located on the front panel, you should position the

switch at a height that allows the LEDs to remain visible at all times.

• Do not allow attached port cables to hang freely from the port connectors.

Instead, install plastic cable clamps appropriately to support and dress the

cables.

• Because wall compositions vary at each site, wall mounting screws are not

provided. You should choose the appropriate size mounting hardware

according to your wall composition.

• A common and safe method for attaching devices to most wall types is to

attach the device to a piece of plywood (at least 0.5 in. thick) that is ﬁrmly

secured to the wall, preferably to the wall studs.
