4. Pre-drill two 1/4" (6mm) diameter holes on the template.
5. Remove the template from the wall.
6. Install two plastic anchors into the holes you just made.
7. Align the holes on the wall-mount bracket to the holes that the plastic
anchors were inserted.
8. Secure the bracket to the wall using two wall mounting screws. See
Figure 30 on page 45.
9. Slide the media converter through the mounting bracket with the DIP
switch facing outward, as shown in Figure 31 on page 46.
