Figure 9. Wall Mounting the NetVanta 3100 Series
• To avoid damaging the unit, use only the screws included in the shipment when
attaching mounting ears to the chassis.
• When wall mounting the NetVanta, care must be taken not to damage the power cord.
Do not attach the power cord to the building surface or run it through walls, ceilings,
floors, or openings in the building structure.
• The socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.
Instructions for Wall Mounting NetVanta 3100 Series
Step Action
1 Decide on a location for the unit. Keep in mind that the unit needs to be mounted at or below
eye level so that the LEDs are viewable.
2 Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board (typically plywood, 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick)
to a wall stud.
Important! Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using sheetrock anchors may not
provide sufficient long-term stability.
3 Install two #8 PAN head screws (1-inch or greater in length) into the mounted board, following
these guidelines and referring to Figure 9.
• Screws should be spaced horizontally, approximately 5 inches apart. Find exact positioning
by using the location of the two keyed insets on the bottom of the unit as a guide.
• Screws should be horizontally level with each other.
• Leave approximately 1/4-inch of the screws protruding from the board to allow the heads of
the screws to slide into place in the unit’s keyed insets.
4 Slide the keyed insets on the bottom of the unit’s chassis securely onto the screws.
5 Proceed to the steps given in Supplying Power to the Unit on page 24.
