Installing the BCM50 unit on the wall

To wall-mount a BCM50 unit, you need a wall-mount bracket. The wall-mount bracket attaches to
the wall, and the BCM50 unit connects to the wall-mount bracket. If the BCM50 system includes
additional units, you need a wall-mount bracket for each unit. Each wall-mount bracket includes a
cable-management tray that you use to store and organize the cables connected to the BCM50
units. An optional wiring field card simplifies the cable connections for the lines and extensions.

If desired you can install an optional plywood backboard 2 cm (3/4 in.) thick.

Use the following procedures to install the BCM50 unit on a wall:

To install the BCM50 wall-mount bracket

1

Use a pencil to mark the location of the plywood backboard on the wall. Use a ruler and a level
to make sure that the plywood backboard is level.

2

Mount the plywood backboard securely to the wall.

3

Place the wall-mount bracket on the backboard and mark the location of the center
keyhole-shaped screw hole on the plywood backboard. See the figure

page 87.

Caution: For acceptable environmental conditions before selecting a location for the
BCM50, see

Checking the installation prerequisites

on page 77.

Caution: You must mount BCM50 units side-by-side on the wall. DO NOT attempt to
mount units on top of each other when using the wall-mount option.

Caution: To keep the BCM50 operating at the optimal internal temperature, keep the top,
sides, and rear clear of obstructions and away from the exhaust of other equipment.

Note: Nortel recommends the use of a plywood backboard to simplify installing
multiple BCM50 units. However, due to the compact size and light weight of the
BCM50 units, a backboard is not required.

If you do not use a backboard, use the appropriate wall anchors or ensure the screws
are in a stud.
