Mounting To A Concrete Or Brick Wall - IBM Models 5 Service Manual

Mounting the IBM AnyPlace Kiosk to the wall
Table 9. Securing the wall mounting plate to a drywall surface. This figure shows wood screws ( A ); however, other
types of screws ( B ) can be used.
After installation, make sure the screw heads are flush or below the outer surface
of the wall mount plate. Check to make sure you firmly and securely attach the
wall mount plate to the wall.

Mounting to a concrete or brick wall

This mounting surface includes walls that are constructed of either brick wall and
mortar or solid concrete.
Due to the variable nature of laying bricks, and the variation in types of mortar
joints, most brick walls have an uneven surface. If possible, select a location on the
wall that allows all four corner screw holes to remain flat without warping the
wall mount plate. If this location is not possible, add a metal washer or other type
of shim under one or more screw holes. This addition allows the wall mount plate
to be mounted without warping it.
Use a bubble level to assure that you mount the wall mount plate squarely. Use
four concrete anchors to attach the wall mount plate to the wall. Use one concrete
anchor in each corner of the wall mount plate. See "Fastener types" on page 33 for
detailed fastener information to determine the types of fasteners that are
suggested.
After installation, make sure that the screw heads are flush or below the outer
surface of the wall mount plate. Check to make sure that you attached the wall
mount plate firmly and securely to the wall.
