Chapter 4 Chassis Installation Procedures for Cisco 1800 Series Routers (Modular)

Setting Up the Chassis

To mount the router on a wall or other surface, follow these steps:

Step 1 Install the two screws 6.00 in. (15.2 cm) horizontally apart on a wall or other vertical surface.

The screws should protrude 0.25 in. (0.6 cm) from the surface of the wall.

Step 2 Remove the rubber feet from the router.

Step 3 Hang the router on the screws, front panel down. This is the appropriate orientation for safe use. See

Figure 4-5.

Caution If you install the screws in drywall, use hollow-wall anchors (1/8 in. (31.75 cm) by 5/16 in. (79.38 cm))

to secure the screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the cables connected to the

router back panel could pull the router from the wall.
