6.3 IBRMountingBracket
IBRmustbemountedonasuitablebracketthatwillholdIBRsecurelyunderallenvironmentalconditions.
ThebaseofIBRhasfourmountingpostsformountingboltsset

inches(5.08cm).Instructionsforinstallingthisbracketareshownbelow.
6.3.1 MountingLocation‐ChoosingthebestpossiblemountinglocationforIBRisimportantforsafety,security,
andlinkperformance.
 InstallIBRinalocationwhereaccessisrestrictedtoauthorizedservicepersonnel.
 SelectalocationthatiswithinonehundredmetersofaPoE+source.
 Avoidlocationsthatmightpresenthazardstoinstallationormaintenancecrews.
