Install the Device
You can install the ION 1200 on a flat surface, in a rack, or
on a wall.
Ensure there are no building services (water, gas, or wiring)
behind the wall where you intend to install the device.
Install the device on a wall
Download the Wall Mount template from
1
paloaltonetworks.com/hardware/ion-1200-hardware-
reference/install-ion-1200/wall-mount-template.
Temporarily secure the Wall Mount template (Figure 5)
2
to the wall where you intend to mount the device and
use it to mark the location for each of the four wall-
mount screws. Use a pointed object to punch through
the paper and visibly mark the wall; then remove the
template and verify measurements.
Use a type 1 Philips head screwdriver to install the
3
appropriate screws into each of the four marked
locations:
Drywall—First press a drywall anchor slightly
◼
into the center of a template mark. Then use the
screwdriver to apply pressure while turning the
anchor clockwise until the surface of the anchor
is flush with the wall. After the drywall anchor is
secure, install a 1.25" anchor screw into the anchor
until the bottom of the screw head protrudes ¼"
from the wall. Repeat this step for the other three
screw locations.
Plywood wall—Use the screwdriver to insert a .75"
◼
wood screw into the center of each template mark
that is located over wood until the bottom of the
screw heads protrude ¼" from the wall.
