Scenario 3: Wall Mounting

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 (S5720-16X-PWH-LI-AC needs to be installed with the port side facing up), 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.

The M4 screws and front mounting brackets are included in the installation accessory package.

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 1 shows the installation methods of different mounting brackets.
Figure 1 Installing mounting brackets
Place the switch against the wall and mark the drilling positions through the holes of the mounting brackets. See Figure 2.
Figure 2 Marking the drilling positions
Install M6 expansion bolts in the wall.
1. Use a hammer drill (with φ8 drill bit) to drill holes in the marked positions.
2. Insert M6 expansion bolts into the holes and tighten the nuts to secure the bolts in place.
3. Loosen and remove the nuts from M6 expansion bolts.
Mount the switch on the wall.
1. Align the holes on the mounting brackets with the M6 expansion bolts and push the brackets onto the M6 expansion bolts.
2. Fasten the nuts on the M6 expansion bolts.
