Bay Technical Associates 350 manual Wall Mounting, Before You Begin

Using the BayStack 350 10/100 Autosense Switch

Wall Mounting

You can mount the BayStack 350 switch on any wall that can safely support the weight of the device and attached cables (see “Site Preparation” on page 2-3 for safety considerations). The BayStack 350 switch can be mounted with or without the rubber footpads.

Before You Begin

Before mounting the BayStack 350 switch on a wall, note the following considerations:

•The BayStack 350 switch must be wall mounted with the front panel facing upward, as shown in Figure 2-4.

•Because the LEDs are located on the front panel, you should position the switch at a height that allows the LEDs to be visible at all times.

•Do not let the attached port cables hang freely from the port connectors. Install plastic cable clamps to support and dress the cables.

•Because wall composition varies at each site, wall-mounting screws are not supplied. You should choose the appropriate mounting hardware for your wall composition.

•A common and safe method for attaching devices to most walls is to attach the device to a piece of plywood (at least 0.5 in. thick) that is firmly secured to the wall, preferably to the wall studs.
