Unit Installation
Wall Mounting the NetVanta
By following these instructions exactly, the NetVanta can be safely mounted to the wall.
Step
1 Remove the mounting ears. Rotate them 90 degrees so that the portion of the bracket with the
mounting holes is flush with the bottom of the chassis. Reattach the mounting ears to the
chassis (see Figure 33).
2 Decide on a location for the NetVanta. All NetVanta 1000 and 1000R Series units are mounted
with the front panel facing down (see Figure 33). Keep in mind that the unit needs to be
mounted at or below eye-level so that the LEDs are viewable.
3 Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board (typically plywood, 3/ 4-inch to 1-inch thick)
to a wall stud.
Important! Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using sheetrock anchors may not provide
sufficient long-term stability.
4 Have an assistant hold the unit in position as you install two #6 to #10 (1 1/ 2 inches or greater
in length) wood screws through the unit's brackets and into the mounted board (see Figure 33).
5 Proceed to the steps given in Supplying Power to the Unit on page 53.
To avoid damaging the unit, use only the screws included in the shipment when attaching
mounting ears to the chassis.
