Mounting To Hollow Walls - IBM Models 5 Service Manual

Mounting the IBM AnyPlace Kiosk to the wall
There is a wide variation of types of wall construction, age and condition. After
reviewing the conditions on site, the installer must make the final judgment as to
the suitability of the existing wall material to determine if additional bracing or
supports are required.
Attaching the wall mount plate involves making minor modifications to the
building construction. Be sure to observe proper safety precautions to prevent
injury. Unforeseen hazards, for example, natural gas and power lines, can exist
when drilling and cutting into walls.
Note: Compliance with local building codes, electrical codes and the governing
Fasteners are not included with the unit, and must be supplied by the installer.
The types of fasteners required are dependent on the type of wall construction. See
"Fastener types" on page 33 for detailed descriptions and pictures of the fasteners.
If the recommended size is not available, choose the next longer or larger size.
Choose fasteners that are rated either "Medium Duty" or "Heavy Duty." To assure
proper fastener selection and installation, follow the fastener manufacturer's
recommendations.

Mounting to hollow walls

Hollow walls include walls that are constructed of drywall board that is securely
fastened to wood studs. The studs must make up the main structure and strength
of the wall.
Method 1: Wood surface
Use this method if construction changes to the wall are permitted. This method
will provide the most reliable attachment of the unit to the wall with little risk that
the unit will ever come loose or require ongoing maintenance.
The drywall board is removed in an area approximately 30 cm (12 in.) high that
spans the space between two studs. The two wood studs can be cut back
approximately 38 mm (1.5 in.) by 28 cm (11 in.) high. A 38 mm (1.5 in.) thick by 28
cm (11 in.) high construction grade wood support is attached to the two wall studs
with six lag screws as shown in Table 8 on page 31. Install the Lag Screws directly
into the center of the studs without pre-drilling a hole. Do not use soap or other
lubricant on the screws during installation. The wood support material should be
either solid wood or plywood. After installation of the support, you can replace
and prepare the drywall board for final finishing.
