The plywood base should be mounted to two studs in the wall. The
recommended minimum dimensions of the plywood base for the switch
are listed here:
Width: 55.9 centimeters (22 inches)
Height: 35.6 centimeters (14 inches)
Thickness: 2.5 centimeters (1 inch)
The dimensions assume the wall studs are 41 centimeters (16 inches)
apart. You might need to adjust the width of the base if the distance
between the studs in your wall is different than the industry standard.
You should install the plywood base on the wall and then install the switch
on the base. Refer to Figure 34.
