Wall Mount the ASA
If you are mounting the ASA onto something other than drywall, such as wood or sheet metal, anchors may not be
required.
Step 3 Use a pencil, ruler and level to mark locations for the two mounting screws.
The width and length of the ASA are 7.87 x 9.23 inches ( 20 x 23.44 cm). The mounting holes in the chassis are in the
middle length-wise (that is, 6.372 inches from front and back), while the holes are inset from the opposite edges 0.75
inches (1.9 cm).
Thus, you need to make two level marks 6.37, or approximately 6-3/8, inches (16.18 cm) apart.
Step 4 Drill a hole into the wall at each mark.
These holes should be slightly smaller in diameter than your anchors.
Step 5 Insert the anchors into the holes and be sure they are properly seated.
Step 6 Fasten each screw into its anchor until it protrudes about 3/8 inch (0.95 cm).
Step 7
Pick up the ASA, align the screws in the anchors with the holes in the bottom of the chassis, move the ASA toward the
wall until the screw heads are in the chassis, and then slide the ASA down until it rests on the screws.
You can only mount the chassis with the front panel oriented toward either the ceiling or the floor. Wall mounting in
other orientation is not supported.
