Warning Read the wall-mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware
or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system.

Caution
Do not wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing up. Following safety regulations, wall-mount the
switch with its front panel facing down or to the side to prevent airflow restriction and to provide easier access
to the cables
Procedure
Step 1 Locate the screw template. The template is used to align the mounting screw holes.
Step 2
Position the screw template so that the edge that is marked as CABLE SIDE ENTRY faces toward the floor.
Note
To prevent airflow restriction, allow clearance around the ventilation openings to be at least: 3 in.
