Installing the Switch on a Wall

Caution Before you perform the following steps, be sure the switch is powered off and is

not connected to a power source.

Note Some switches are shipped with screws installed in the top rack-mounting holes

closest to the front panel. Do not use these screws to attach the mounting brackets to the

switch. Use the screws supplied with the brackets.

To attach the brackets and attach the switch parallel or vertically to a wall, follow these

steps:

Step 1 Place the switch on a level surface.

Step 2 Use two of the supplied Phillips truss-head or ﬂat-head screws to attach a

mounting bracket to each side of the switch. Secure all four screws tightly, but

do not overtighten them.

The bracket orientation depends on whether you plan to attach the switch

parallel or vertically to a wall:

• For a parallel wall-mount, use the Phillips truss-head screws to attach the

short side of the bracket to the switch.

• For a vertical wall-mount, use the Phillips ﬂat-head screws to attach the long

side of the bracket to the switch.

Figure 2-7 shows how to attach one bracket to one side of the switch. Follow the

same steps for the opposite side.
