Complete Hardware Guide for EX2200 Ethernet Switches
Requirements for Mounting an EX2200 Switch on a Desktop or Wall
You can install the switch on a desktop or wall. When choosing a location, allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between the front and back of the chassis and adjacent equipment or walls.
| Ensure that the wall onto which the switch is installed is stable and securely supported. |
| If you are mounting the switch in sheetrock (wall board with a gypsum plaster core) or |
| in wall board not backed by wall studs, use hollow wall anchors capable of supporting |
| the combined weight of two fully loaded chassis. Insert the screws into wall studs |
| wherever possible to provide added support for the chassis. |
