Wall Mount the Router
Depending on the models of the Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Router, the tasks for mounting the
router chassis on the wall may vary.
There are two ways to mount a router on the wall, using Key-hole slots and DIN Rail Brackets.
Read the wall-mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware
or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system.
Statement 378.
Warning
The recommended clearance when a router is horizontally mounted is 1.5 inches on both sides for clearance
and 1.75 inches on top. I/O side clearance is needed as it is required to access the cable connections. Clearance
is not required on the backside (opposite side from I/O face) unless mounting on a DIN Rail. Clearance is
required to attach and mount the DIN rail bracket.
Note
Wall Mount Using Key-hole Slots
The Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers have key-hole slots at the bottom of the chassis for mounting
on a wall or any vertical surface.
Do not mount the router with the output ports facing downwards. For the C111x series, ensure that the cables
are placed on the sides.
Note
When choosing a location for wall mounting the router, consider cable limitations and wall structure.
Note
To attach a router to the wall stud, each bracket should have one number 10 wood screw (pan-head) with
number 10 washers, or two number 10 washer-head screws. The screws must be long enough to penetrate at
least 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) into the supporting wood or metal wall stud.
Note
For hollow-wall mounting, each bracket requires two wall anchors with washers. Wall anchors and washers
must be size number 6 (pan-head). Route the cables so that they do not put a strain on the connectors or
mounting hardware.
