Step 1: Install the plywood
base on the wall.
The plywood base should be mounted on two studs in the wall. The
recommended minimum dimensions of a plywood base for the x330-
20GTX and x330-28GTX Switches are listed here:
Width: 55.9 centimeters (22 inches)

Height: 50 centimeters (20 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 47.

The selected wall location for the base should provide sufficient

space from other devices or walls so that you can access the front
and back panels, and for adequate air flow for ventilation.
