Plywood Base for a Wall with Wooden Studs

If you are installing the device on a wall that has wooden studs, Allied
Telesis recommends using a plywood base for the device. (A plywood
base is not required for a concrete wall.) Refer to Figure 41.

The plywood base should be mounted to two studs in the wall. The
recommended minimum dimensions of the plywood base for the
GS980EM/10H switch or PWR300 power supply 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.
Install the plywood base on the wall and then install the device on the
base. Refer to Figure 42 on page 82.
