Wall-Mounting the OS6250-8M

The OmniSwitch OS6250-8M switch can also be installed as a wall-mounted unit.
Note. Only the OS6250-8M supports wall-mounting.

General Wall-Mounting Guidelines

When choosing a location for the switch, be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for chassis
•
airflow and access to the front, back, and sides of the chassis. For recommended clearances, refer to
"Recommended Clearances" on page
For wall mounting, it is recommended that the chassis assembly is oriented sideways, with the chassis
•
front panel facing left, as shown in the diagram below.
In order to ensure that damage to the power cord does not occur, steps must be taken to provide proper
•
routing of the power cord, as well as proper access to the switch's power source (i.e., grounded outlet).
Refer to the guidelines listed below for additional details.
The power cord for OmniSwitch 6250 switches measures two (2) meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in
•
length. When wall mounting the switch, be sure that the mounting location is within the reach of all the
required power sources. In addition, the power cord must not be attached to the building surface
(e.g., with U-brackets, cord retainer clips, or other fasteners), nor run through walls, ceiling, floors and
similar openings in the building structure.
Be sure that the wall section and wall attachment screws (not provided) have the required strength to
•
easily support the chassis assembly. A complete OS6250 chassis assembly—with mounting brackets,
power supply tray, and redundant power supplies—weighs approximately 12 lbs.
For each mounting hole the use of screws long enough to penetrate any soft surfaces, such as sheetrock
•
or drywall, and securely attach to a hard surface such as a wall stud is recommended.
Two people will be required to wall mount the switch: one person to hold the chassis assembly in place
•
and one person to mark the locations for the mounting screws.
