Scenario: Wall Mounting
Mounting a Switch on the Wall Using Expansion Bolts (With Mounting Brackets)
Context
This installation method applies to all switch models except the S3700-HI, S5700-HI, S6720S-EI, and 420 mm deep switches.
Before drilling holes on a wall, make sure that no power cables are hidden in the wall.
- For a wall-mounted switch, take water-proofing and dust-proofing measures to protect the switch from damage caused by water and dust.
- The S5720-16X-PWH-LI-AC, and S6730 (220-mm deep models) need to be installed with the port side facing up.
- Ensure that there are no flammable or explosive materials nearby the switch.
- Ensure that the switch has at least 100 mm (3.9 in.) free space in all directions.
- When installing a device on a wall using mounting brackets, reserve proper spacing (59 mm at most) between the device top and the wall.
Tools and Accessories
- Protective gloves
- ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves
- Phillips screwdriver
- Hammer drill (with φ8 drill bit)
- Adjustable wrench
- Marker
- M4 screws (four or six, depending on the switch model. See Figure 3-19.)
- M6 expansion bolts (four per switch, purchased separately)
- Front mounting brackets (two per switch)
The M4 screws and front mounting brackets are included in the installation accessory package.
When installing mounting ears, use screws of the same specifications as those configured by the manufacturer. Do not use screws that are too long to prevent damage to the device.
Procedure
- Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves. When wearing an ESD wrist strap, ensure that it is in close contact with your wrist and grounded properly.
- Use M4 screws to attach a front mounting bracket to each side of the switch. The type of mounting brackets and the installation method differ depending on switch model. Figure 3-19 shows the installation methods of different mounting brackets.
If the mounting ear is labeled R/L, install the mounting ear labeled R on the right side of the device, and install the mounting ear labeled L on the left side of the device. In addition, the mounting ear marked with R has a ground hole for connecting a ground cable to provide the grounding function.
- Place the switch against the wall and mark the drilling positions through the holes of the mounting brackets. See Figure 3-20.
- Install M6 expansion bolts in the wall.
- Use a hammer drill (with φ8 drill bit) to drill holes in the marked positions.
- Insert M6 expansion bolts into the holes and tighten the nuts to secure the bolts in place.
- Loosen and remove the nuts from M6 expansion bolts.
- Use a hammer drill (with φ8 drill bit) to drill holes in the marked positions.
- Mount the switch on the wall.
- Align the holes on the mounting brackets with the M6 expansion bolts and push the brackets onto the M6 expansion bolts.
- Fasten the nuts on the M6 expansion bolts.

Mounting a Switch on the Wall Using Expansion Bolts (Without Mounting Brackets)
Context
This installation method applies to the S1700-8-AC, S1700-8G-AC, S1730S-L8T-A, and S1730S-L8T-MA.
Before drilling holes on a wall, make sure that no power cables are hidden in the wall.
- For a wall-mounted switch, take water-proofing and dust-proofing measures to protect the switch from damage caused by water and dust.
- Ensure that there are no flammable or explosive materials nearby the switch.
- Ensure that the switch has at least 100 mm (3.9 in.) free space in all directions.
Tools and Accessories
- Hammer drill (with φ6 drill bit)
- Expansion Bolts (two)
- M4 screws (two)
The M4 screws and expansion plugs need to be purchased separately.
Procedure
- Measure the distance between the two mounting holes on the rear panel of the switch.
- Mark the holes accordingly on the wall. See Figure 3-22.
- Use a hammer drill (with φ6 drill bit) to drill holes, and fix expansion bolts on the wall.Figure 3-23 Drilling holes in marked positions
- Mount the switch on the wall.
- Insert the M4 screws into the expansion bolts on the wall.
- Mount the device onto the M4 screws.
