NOTE: Leave shrink wrap and pack tags intact while staging panels for easier
identification while installing.
See wall plan drawing for locations of panels, power infeeds, and data ports.

2. Panel assemblies can be moved more easily before other components are installed.
3. Access holes can be more easily drilled before other components are installed.
4. Start installing panels at an intersection.
5. If possible start panels at the highest point of an uneven floor.

Wall Panels
STARTER POST INSTALLATION
When installing a starter post, consider the condition of the floor and the wall where the post is mounted.
• Is the floor even and level?
• Are there any high spots on the floor?
• Is the wall plumb?
When correctly installed, the starter post will be plumb and flush to the top and bottom of the first wall panel.
If possible, position wall panels, as shown on the wall panel installation instructions on the proceeding page, to
determine where the starter post needs to be located on the wall.
1. Remove or cut away any base molding or carpet base so starter post can be mounted flush to the wall.
2. If needed, scroll cut the starter post so the face that mounts to the panel is plumb.
3. Attach starter post to wall using fasteners that are appropriate for the wall. Mounting holes may require
counter-boring so the fastener is not past flush the face of the starter post.
4. Install panel clips in routed pockets.
5. Fasten panel to post.
