Install The Bcm50 Unit On The Wall; Install The Bcm50 Wallmount Bracket - Nortel BCM50 Installation And Maintenance Manual

Install the BCM50 unit on the wall

This procedure describes how to mount a BCM50 unit on a wall.
To mount a BCM50 unit on the wall, you need:
• a wallmount bracket kit (NT9T6700)
• a plywood backboard 2 cm (3/4 in.) thick (optional)
Caution: Refer to
environmental conditions before selecting a location for the BCM50.
Caution: BCM50 units must be mounted side-by-side on the wall. DO NOT attempt to
mount units on top of each other when using the wallmount option.
Caution: To keep the BCM50 operating at the optimal internal temperature, keep the top,
sides, and rear clear of obstructions and away from the exhaust of other equipment.
Use the following procedures to install the BCM50 unit on a wall:
• "Install the BCM50 wallmount bracket" on page 101
• "Install the BCM50 unit on the wallmount bracket" on page 103

To install the BCM50 wall mount bracket
1 Mark the location of the plywood backboard on the wall using a pencil. Use a ruler and a level
to make sure that the plywood backboard is level.
Note: Nortel Networks recommends the use of a plywood backboard to simplify
installing multiple BCM50 units. However, due to the compact size and light weight
of the BCM50 units, a backboard is not required.
If you are not using a backboard, use the appropriate wall anchors or ensure the screws
are in a stud.
