and AT-GS948MPX Switches on a wall.
You may install the switch on a wall that has wooden studs.

You may install the switch on a concrete wall.

If you are installing the switch on a wall with wooden studs, you

should use a plywood base to support the switch. For more
information, refer to "Plywood Base for a Wall with Wooden Studs"
on page 78. A plywood base is not required for a concrete wall.
You should not install the switch only on Sheetrock or similar

device.
