Mount the Device on a Wall (5320-16P models)
The 5320-16P switch models are constructed so that they can be mounted on a wall.
Ensure that the wall is strong enough to support the weight of the switch and the
attached cables.
Note
The front end of the switch must be facing down, and the power inlet must be
facing up when mounting a switch to the wall.
To mount a switch to the wall, follow these steps.
1. Using the two holes in each short mounting ear, mark the places on the wall to
mount the switch. Each mounting ear has two mounting holes, so be sure to make
four marks. Be sure to position the marks so that the switch is level when it is
mounted.
2. Drill a hole at each mark.
3. Insert a provided anchor into each hole. Gently tap each anchor with a hammer, if
necessary, to ensure that it is inserted tightly.
4. Using rack mount screws, attach a wall-mounting ear to the left side of the switch, at
the front end. Figure 47 on page 69 shows the attachment of the screws.
5. Repeat step 4 for the right side of the switch.
6. Mount the switch on the wall by screwing a provided wood screw through each
hole in the wall-mounting ears into the anchors. Ensure that all screws are securely
fastened and that the switch is rmly attached to the wall.
