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).
