I already had a 2x12 bolted onto the side of the house that the previous owner installed by extending the side trim of the deck past the corner of the house. This is where my Phase III is mounted. I asked the installer how he was going to mount the switch and said that there was plenty of room to mount it on the 2x12. I guess he didn't have any screws and didn't normally mount it on the wall, so he zip-tied it to the mounting post. It looked like crap, so I cut it off and mounted it on the 2x12 myself. Looks much neater now. But I'm not sure, should be switch be mounted with the ports up and down or left and right, or does it make any difference? I'm in San Diego so rain and especially snow aren't much of an issue. All unused ports are capped.
Is zip-tying how other installers are mounting the switch?
