Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Installing the Switch

Mounting the Switch on a Wall

For the best support of the switch and cables, make sure that the switch is attached securely to wall studs or to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard.

Warning Read the wall-mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system. Statement 378

Mount the switch with the side panel facing up (Figure 2-9).
