Mounting an EX2200 Switch on a Wall

You can mount an EX2200 switch on a wall by using the separately orderable wall-mount kit.

When mounting an EX2200 switch chassis in a vertical position, orient the front panel of the chassis downward to ensure proper airflow and meet safety requirements in the event of a fire. When wall-mounting Power over Ethernet (PoE) models (EX2200-24P and EX2200-48P), install the wall-mount baffle above the units to reduce the risk of objects or substances falling into the air exhaust or power supply, which could cause a fire.

Before mounting the switch on a wall:

• Verify that the site meets the requirements described in Site Preparation Checklist for EX2200 Switches.
• Read General Safety Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches, with particular attention to Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX2200 Switches.
• Remove the switch from the shipping carton (see Unpacking an EX2200 Switch).

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

• 2 wall-mount brackets (provided in the wall-mount kit)
• 1 wall-mount baffle (provided in the wall-mount kit)
• 12 wall-mount bracket screws (provided in the wall-mount kit)
• 6 mounting screws (8-32 x 1.25 in. or M4 x 30 mm) (not provided)
• Hollow wall anchors rated to support up to 75 lb (34 kg) if you are not screwing the screws directly into wall studs (not provided)
• Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 (not provided)

To mount one or two switches on a wall:

1. Attach the wall-mount brackets to the sides of the chassis using four wall-mount bracket screws on each side, as shown in Figure 1.

   Figure 1: Attaching Wall-Mount Brackets to a Switch Chassis

   

2. If you are mounting two switches together, align the second switch on top of the first and attach it to the mounting brackets using two additional wall-mount bracket screws on each side (Figure 3 shows two aligned switches).
3. Install six mounting screws in the wall for the wall-mount brackets and baffle as shown in Figure 2:
   • Use hollow wall anchors rated to support up to 75 lb (34 kg) if you are not inserting the mounting screws directly into wall studs.
   • Turn the screws only part way in, leaving about 1/4 in. (6 mm) distance between the head of the screw and the wall.
   1. Install screw A.
   2. Install screw B 18.68 in. (47.4 cm) from screw A on a level line.
   3. Install screw C 5.98 in. (15.2 cm) on a plumb line down from screw A and screw D 5.98 in. down from screw B.
   4. For PoE models, install screw E 2.76 in. (7 cm) up from and 8.32 in. (21.1 cm) to the right of screw A.
   5. For PoE models, install screw F 4.49 in. (11.4 cm) to the right of screw E.

4. Lift the unit (one switch or two) by grasping each side, and hang the unit by attaching the brackets to the mounting screws as shown in Figure 3.
5. For PoE models, install the baffle by attaching it to mounting screws E and F as shown in Figure 3.
6. Tighten all mounting screws.
