4.1 Tabletop or Shelf Placement
To install the Allworx 6x on a tabletop or shelf:
1. Remove the four rubber feet from the packaging.
2. Turn over the chassis and notice the triangle on each corner (2 large triangles in front, 2 smaller in back).
3. Remove the paper backing from each rubber foot and place one foot in each triangle.
4.2 Wall Mount
To mount the Allworx 6x on ½” drywall:
1. Verify that there is sufficient clearance around the server’s front and rear panels to allow power, network,
and telephony connections.
2. Use self-drilling drywall anchors rated for at least 20 lbs with screws that are either #6 or #8. Locate two
anchors that will support the upper end of the unit using the wall mount template included in Section 13.
Install the anchors per the anchor manufacturer’s recommendation. Install the mounting screws into the
anchors leaving approximately 1/8” between the bottom of the screw head and the wall.
3. Slide unit onto mounting screws. Adjust screw height if necessary to insure a snug fit against the wall.
Caution: The Allworx server must be securely mounted to the wall to avoid equipment damage or
personal injury.
Note: The unit must be mounted with the front facing forward, not up or down (see Figure 3).

Warning: Failure to follow these steps may result in equipment damage, personal injury, and void the
product warranty.
To help prevent electrical shock, the separate protective earthing terminal located next to the power jack on the
rear panel must be permanently connected to earth using 18 AWG wire or larger. (See Figure 2 item 16)
5.2 Power-Up Sequence
Connect the unit to the power source with the AC power adapter. The server will automatically begin to power
up. As it progresses through the power up sequence, the front panel lights will respond as shown in Table 2.
Front Panel Light Power-Up Sequence Description
