Chapter 2 Installation

Mounting the Router

Caution If you are mounting the router on drywall, use two hollow wall anchors (1/8 in. with 5/16-in. drill bit, or M3 with 8-mm drill bit) to secure the screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the network cable connections could pull the router from the wall.

The following conditions must be met when you mount the router:

•Because you will use the LEDs as status and problem indicators, the LEDs on the front panel must face upward and be easily visible.

•The back panel must face downward to reduce strain on the cable connections.

•The power supply must rest on a horizontal surface, such as the floor or a table. If the power supply is not supported, it might place strain on the power supply cable and cause it to disconnect from the connector on the router back panel.

To mount the router, follow the steps in Figure 2-7. The last page of this manual provides a template for measuring the distance between the screws.
