Attaching to Wall

Attach the chassis to the wall:

Position the end nearest the power cable at the top.

Align screws (not included) with a wall stud, or use wall anchors.

Installing on a Desktop

If you are installing a Cisco 2610XM, Cisco 2620XM, or Cisco 2650XM series router on a desktop, you must install the rubber feet that are supplied in the accessory kit. They provide a space for air circulation. Peel the rubber feet from the adhesive strip, and attach them onto the five round recesses on the bottom of the chassis.

Caution If you place the Cisco router on a desktop, do not place anything that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) on top of the chassis.

Grounding the Chassis

You must connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground; the ground wire must be installed in accordance with local electrical safety standards.

For NEBS-compliant grounding, use size AWG 6 (13 mm2) wire and the ground lug provided in the accessory kit.

For NEC-compliant grounding, use size AWG 14 (2 mm2) or larger wire and an appropriate user-supplied ring terminal.

For EN/IEC 60950-compliant grounding, use size AWG 18 (1 mm2) or larger wire and an appropriate user-supplied ring terminal.

To connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the ground lug or terminal.

For the NEBS ground lug—approximately 0.75 in. (20 mm)

For user-provided ring terminal—as required

Step 2 Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug or ring terminal, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size.
