Installation Guidelines

Tools and
Material
Here are the guidelines to installing the GS980EM/10H switch or PWR300
power supply on a wall:
 Wall installation requires the optional BRKT-J24 brackets.
 Install the device on a wall that has wooden studs or on a concrete
wall.
 If you are installing the device on a wall with wooden studs, use a
plywood base to support the device. For more information, refer to
"Plywood Base for a Wall with Wooden Studs" on page 81. A
plywood base is not required for a concrete wall.
 Do not install the device on a wall that has metal studs. Metal studs
may not be strong enough to safely support the device.

Do not install the device on sheetrock or similar material.
Sheetrock is not strong enough to safely support the device.
Warning
The device should be installed on a wall by a qualified building
contractor. Serious injury to yourself or others or damage to the
equipment may result if it is not properly fastened to the wall.  E105
