Wall Guidelines

Here are the guidelines to installing the AT-x310-26FP, AT-x310-50FT,
and AT-x310-50FP Switches on a wall.

You may install the switch on a wall that has wooden studs.

You may install the switch on a concrete wall.

If you are installing the switch on a wall with wooden studs, you
should use a plywood base to support the switch. For more
information, refer to “Plywood Base for a Wall with Wooden Studs”
on page 75. A p
lywood base is not required for a concrete wall.

You should not install the switch only on sheetrock or similar
material. Sheetrock is not strong enough to safely support the
device.

Step 1: Install the
plywood base to
the wall.

Step 2: Install the
switch on the
plywood base.
