Caution Do not place anything that weighs more than 5 pounds (2.25 kg) on top of the chassis. Do not stack chassis on a
desktop. Excessive distributed weight of more than 5 pounds or a pound point load of 5 pounds on top can damage
the chassis.
After you install the chassis, connect it to a reliable earth ground. For the chassis ground connection procedures, see the
“Grounding the Chassis” section on page 12.
Mounting the Chassis onto a Wall
You can mount the voice gateway chassis onto a wall or other vertical surface by using the molded mounting brackets on the
bottom of the chassis and two number-six, 3/4-inch (M3.5 x 20 mm) screws. You must provide the screws. Figure 6 shows the
mounting-screw slots on the chassis.
Caution If you are mounting the chassis onto drywall, use two hollow-wall anchors (1/8 inch with 5/16-inch drill bit, or M3
with 8-mm drill bit) to secure the screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the network cable
connections could pull the chassis from the wall.

Before You Begin
Ensure that you meet the following conditions when you mount the chassis onto a wall:
• The LEDs on the front panel face upward and are easily visible, because you will use the LEDs as status and problem
indicators.
• The back panel faces downward, to reduce strain on the cable connections.
• The power supply rests on a horizontal surface such as the floor or a table. If the power supply is not supported, it can place
strain on the power supply cable and cause it to disconnect from the connector on the back panel of the chassis.
