Installing the switch on a wall
Required tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver for attaching brackets to the switch
• Four #8 screws (recommended size) appropriate to the composition of the wall where you will
install the switch
• Screwdriver appropriate to your wall mounting hardware for attaching the switch to the wall
• (Recommended) sheet of 1/2-inch plywood attached to the wall where you will install the
switch
• Expanding wall anchors if you are installing the switch on a hollow wall
• (Optional) drill for making pilot holes in the wall
• Plastic cable clamps to route and support the port cables after you install the switch
Be aware of the following considerations when you plan the wall installation:
• To install two switches, remember to consider their combined weight: 30 to 40 lb
(14 to 18 kg).
• Attached cables increase the weight of the installation, and the accumulated weight of these
cables increases with the height of the mounting location.
• Place the switch at a height that allows you to see the LEDs.
• Remove any installed rack-mount brackets or rubber footpads.
