Installing the Cisco 1005 2-7

Mounting the Router

Step 2 Using wall-mount hardware, including screws, that you must provide, attach the

router to a wall or other ﬂat surface. (See Figure 2-2.) Mount the router so that the

following conditions are met:

• The front-panel LEDs face upward and are easily visible. Later, you will use

the LEDs to verify that the router is working properly. Mounting the router

with the LEDs facing upward will also reduce strain on the cable connections.

• The power supply does not hang from its cable. The power supply will

disconnect from its cable if it is not supported.

Caution We recommend that you align the plastic feet with a vertical wall stud. If the

screws are not properly anchored in wallboard, drywall, or a vertical stud, cable strain could

pull the chassis from the wall.
