Cisco ASA 5506-X Mount And Connect

Wall Mount the ASA
Follow these steps to mount your ASA on a wall. You can purchase a wall mount kit. The part number for
the wall mount kit is ASA5506-WALL-MNT= .
Step 1 Choose a location on the desired wall for the ASA.
Step 2 Use the two Cisco-provided screws and anchors from the optional wall-mount kit.
If you are mounting the ASA onto something other than drywall, such as wood or sheet metal, anchors may not be
required.
Step 3 Use a pencil, ruler, and level to mark locations for the two mounting screws.
The width and length of the ASA are 7.87 x 9.23 inches ( 20 x 23.44 cm). The mounting holes in the chassis are in the
middle length-wise (that is, 6.372 inches from front and back), while the holes are inset from the opposite edges 0.75
inches (1.9 cm).
Thus, you need to make two level marks 6.37, or approximately 6-3/8, inches (16.18 cm) apart.

Step 4 Drill a hole into the wall at each mark.
These holes should be slightly smaller in diameter than your anchors. The recommended drill hole size is 3/16".
Step 5 Insert the anchors into the holes and be sure they are properly seated.
Step 6 Fasten each screw into its anchor until it protrudes about 1/4 inch.
Step 7 Pick up the ASA, align the screws in the anchors with the holes in the bottom of the chassis, move the ASA toward the
wall until the screw heads are in the chassis, and then slide the ASA down until it rests on the screws.
