I have seen several pictures of TIUs mounted vertical on walls or under layouts. I was just wondering how they were mounted. So, if you are one of these people, would you please share a description or picture of how the TIU is mounted. Thanks!

I attached Velcro Straps to the columns in the basement using screws, this way I could get the TIU higher and vertical.

There are four screw mounts you can use long skinny screws with, I favor Clem's method with Velcro, it's easy to take it down if you need to access it.
Thanks for the input. The TIU is going to go in my son's closet for his shelf layout. I am a little leery of velcroing the TIU to the drywall. Maybe I can velcro to a piece of wood and mount the wood to the drywall.
Hey Corey,
John is right. There are four screw mounts. Just pop the rubber feet off of the bottom, and insert the screws through the holes. As an alternative, you could screw the TIU to the wood first, then attach that assembly to the wall with Velcro. When you want to access the TIU, just peel it off of the wall. It will also be easier to mount in a new location when the time comes, and it won't leave you with four screw holes in the closet wall.

If he's just going to Velcro something to the wall, why bother with the wood?
That's more for future John. He'll already be mounted and ready to go.
(4) screw holes that John mentioned worked well. Upper left, this power board.
