Model: 304406-A

Type: Wall Mounting And Safety Instructions

Bay Networks 304406-A is a wall-mount bracket designed for mounting BayStack 350 or BayStack 450 switches on any wall that can safely support the weight of the switches, including any attached cables. It is a single wall-mount bracket, meaning it can be used to mount a single switch on a wall. The bracket is made of durable materials and is easy to install, making it a great choice for mounting switches in a variety of applications. Here are some of the key features and possible use cases for the Bay Networks 304406-A wall-mount bracket:

Durability: The bracket is made of high-quality materials and is designed to withstand the weight of a switch and any attached cables. This makes it a reliable choice for mounting switches in high-traffic areas or in areas where the switches may be subject to vibration or impact.

Wall-Mounting Instructions

These instructions describe how to mount up to two BayStack 350 or BayStack 450 switches on

any wall that can safely support the weight of the switches, including any attached cables. If you

are wall-mounting two switches, remove the rubber footpads.

Optionally, attach the switch to a piece of plywood that is at least 1.27 centimeters (0.50 inch)

thick and firmly secured to the wall, preferably to the wall studs.

Contents of Wall-Mounting Kit

The wall-mounting kit contains the following items (Figure 1):

Figure 1. Package Contents

Note:

Because wall compositions vary at different sites, Nortel Networks

recommends that an experienced maintenance person choose the appropriate

wall-mounting hardware to safely install the switch.

Additional Wall-Mounting Hardware

You will also need four screws (not supplied). The screw size and type depends on the composition

of the wall on which you intend to mount the switch. Have an experienced maintenance person

choose the appropriate hardware for your wall composition.

Caution:

The screws and wall composition must be able to withstand the

weight of the device, plus the additional weight of the attached network cables

and power cords.

Achtung:

Schrauben und Wand müssen so beschaffen sein, daß sie dem

Gewicht des Geräts, zuzüglich des Gewichts der angeschlossenen Netzwerk-

und Netzstromkabel, standhalten können.

Attention:

Les vis de fixation et le mur doivent être capables de supporter le

poids du dispositif, ainsi que des câbles réseau et cordons qui y sont rattachés.

Precaución:

Los tornillos y la composición de la pared deben ser capaces de

sostener el peso del dispositivo más el peso adicional de los cables de red y

cables de alimentación conectados.

Attenzione:

Le viti e la struttura a muro devono essere in grado di sostenere

il peso del dispositivo, oltre a quello dei cavi di rete e di alimentazione

collegati.

Part No. 304602-A Rev 00

Tools Required

Depending on your installation method (see “Additional Wall-Mounting Hardware” on page 2),

you will need only a Phillips (crosshead) screwdriver.

Before You Begin

Before mounting the switch on a wall, note the following considerations:

• Choose the appropriate wall-mounting hardware for your wall composition (wall-mounting

screws are not supplied).

- A single switch weighs 5.26 kg (11.60 lb) without attached cables.

- When mounting dual switches to the wall (or if you are adding a second switch to an

existing single wall-mount), consider the total weight of the two switches:

10.52 kg (23.20 lb).

- Be sure to allow for the weight of any attached cables for both switches.

Use this information when determining the appropriate wall-mounting hardware according to

the wall composition at your installion site.

• Remove any rack-mount brackets or rubber footpads from the switch (or switches), if

installed.

• Plan to position the switch at a height that allows the LEDs to be visible at all times.

You can only mount the switch on the wall, with the front panel facing up (Figure 2

). Other

configurations are not supported and will compromise safety standards. You should be able to

read the front panel labeling when the switch is positioned correctly.

• Plan to install plastic cable clamps to support and arrange the port cables after you mount the

switch.

Do not let the attached port cables hang freely from the port connectors. The accumulated

weight of the port cables increases with the height of the mounting location and can damage

the switch ports and connectors if not properly dressed and supported.

Installation

This section describes how to mount up to two switches onto a wall (Figure 2). Refer to “Contents

of Wall-Mounting Kit” on page 1 to identify the items used in the following procedures. If you are

adding a second switch to an existing single wall-mount installation, proceed to the section titled

“

Adding a Second Unit to an Existing Wall Mount,” on page 11.

This section covers the following topics:

• Attaching Wall-Mount Brackets

• Mounting the Unit to the Wall

Attaching Wall-Mount Brackets

Attachment instructions for the wall-mounting brackets depends on your wall-mount

configuration:

• If you are attaching a single switch to a wall, proceed to “

Attaching Brackets for a Single Wall-

Mount Configuration” following this section.

• If you are attaching two switches to a wall, proceed to “

Attaching Brackets for a Dual Wall-

Mount Configuration” on page 6.

Attaching Brackets for a Single Wall-Mount Configuration

To attach the mounting brackets for a single wall-mounted switch:

Locate the two single wall-mount brackets (item 1) in the installation kit.

Set the switch on a flat surface (Figure 3) and attach a single wall-mount bracket (item 1)

on each end of the unit, using eight screws (item 3).

Attaching Brackets for a Dual Wall-Mount Configuration

To attach the mounting brackets for a dual wall-mounted switch:

Locate the two single wall-mount brackets (item 1) in the installation kit.

Set the first switch on a flat surface (Figure 4) and attach a single wall-mount bracket

(item 1) on each end of the unit, using

only

two screws (item 3) for each bracket.

You will be instructed to install the remaining two screws to each bracket later when you

attach the dual wall-mount brackets.

Mounting the Unit to the Wall

To mount the switch on a wall:

Position the switch assembly on the wall and mark the location of the wall-mount bracket

slots.

Depending on your wall configuration and mounting hardware, you may need to drill pilot

holes to accept the four mounting screws (not supplied).

Insert two screws (not supplied) through each of the wall-mounting brackets, then

tighten the screws (Figure 7

Figure 7. Wall-Mounting the Switch

Caution:

A single switch weighs 5.26 kg (11.60 lb) or more. Get someone to

help you support the weight of the switch while you install the wall-mounting

screws during the next step.

BS45066A

Part No. 304602-A Rev 00

Locate the safety tray (item 4) in the installation kit.

Install the safety tray (item 4), if required, under the wall-mounted, switch or switches,

using two screws (not supplied) as shown in Figure 8

Figure 8. Safety Tray Installation

Note:

If this product is to be installed in a locked (dedicated) equipment closet

that has a concrete floor (or similar non-flammable construction) the safety

tray is not required. Refer to UL 1950 (Standard for Safety, Information

technology Equipment, Sect 4.4.6 and 4.4.7).

Adding a Second Unit to an Existing Wall Mount

You can add a second unit to an existing wall-mounted switch without removing the existing

switch (refer to “

Before You Begin” on page 3 before starting the following procedures):

Carefully remove

two

screws only

(item 3) from both of the single wall-mount brackets

(item 1) on the existing wall-mounted switch (Figure 10

). Set the 4 screws aside for use

later.
