Installation Site Requirements

Installation Site Requirements
Ensure that the installation site has a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clear wall space at the top,
bottom, left side, and right side of the mounting bracket. This minimum clearance allows for
proper airflow, space for cabling the ports, and space for replacing power supplies.

Preparing the Installation Site

The SSA-WALL-MOUNT mounting bracket may be attached to various types of wall construction.
•

Hollow Wall Construction

• Concrete or Masonry Wall Construction
Ensure that walls are clear of plumbing and electrical lines prior to drilling any mounting holes.
Use the SSA-WALL-MOUNT mounting bracket as a template to mark locations on wall sheathing
prior to drilling.
Hollow Wall Construction
For hollow walls studded with metal or wood framing and sheathed with drywall, plaster, or
plywood, use appropriate hollow wall fasteners in all four mounting locations through the
sheathing material.
• Toggle Bolts
• Reusable Anchors
• Pan Head Steel Machine Screws
The four mounting locations on the SSA-WALL-MOUNT mounting bracket, which are located
side to side on 18.576" centers, do not coincide with typical wall stud centers. Position the
mounting bracket to avoid studs at the four mounting locations.
D-2 Installing the SSA-WALL-MOUNT
Note: The SSA-WALL-MOUNT kit does not include hardware for installing the mounting bracket on
a wall.
You must provide screws and wall anchors that are appropriate for the wall on which you are
installing the mounting bracket. The screws and wall anchors that you provide must be capable of
supporting at least four times the combined weight of the SSA chassis and two power supplies. For
example, the combined weight of an SSA chassis and two power supplies is 32.2 lb (14.6 kg). The
screws and wall anchors must be able to support at least 128.8 lb (58.42 kg).
Note: You must manage the port cables to ensure that the air vents are not blocked.
