Caution

This section describes how to install the Cisco 860 series and Cisco 880 series ISRs. These routers can either be installed on a table top or other flat horizontal surface or be mounted on a wall.

This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 12 to 14 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth ground during normal use. Statement 242

This unit is intended to be mounted on a wall. Please 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 248

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Do not cover or obstruct the router vents located on both sides of the router; otherwise, overheating could occur and cause damage to the router.

Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms), and do not stack routers on a desktop. Excessive weight on top of the router could damage the chassis.

Caution Do not install the router or power supplies next to a heat source of any kind, including heating vents.

Installing on a Table

To install the router on a table or other flat horizontal surface, firmly place the router on a table, or other horizontal surface. Keep at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) of clear space beside the cooling inlet and exhaust vents.

Connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground. For the chassis ground connection procedures, see the “Installing the Router Ground Connection” section on page 2-6.

Mounting on a Wall

The Cisco 860 series and Cisco 880 series ISRs have mounting holes on the bottom of the chassis for mounting the unit on a wall or other vertical surface.

Note The mounting holes are bidirectional. You can hang the router with the LEDs either facing you or facing away from you.
