Chapter 3 Installing Cisco IAD2430 Series IADs

Wall-Mounting the Chassis

Caution Make sure to use the correct screws for this mounting option (see Table 3-1 on page 3-7).

Screws are included for attaching the brackets to the chassis, but not for installing the chassis in a rack or on a wall. You need four additional machine screws to install the chassis in a rack. Use the screw size required by your rack. After the brackets are secured to the chassis, you can rack-mount the chassis.

Step 2 Using screws that you provide, attach the chassis to the rack as shown in Figure 3-8 on page 3-9.

Wall-Mounting the Chassis

The following warning applies only when the unit is wall-mounted:

Warning 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

Wall-Mounting the Cisco IAD2430, Cisco IAD2431, and Cisco IAD2432 IADs

Caution You can wall-mount the Cisco IAD2430, Cisco IAD2431, or Cisco IAD2432 IAD with either the right side or the left side facing up; however, the front and back panels must be vertical.

To wall-mount the chassis, follow this procedure:

Step 1 Attach the short side of one bracket to the chassis, as shown in Figure 3-9, using two 6-32 x 1/4 slotted hex screws (provided). Be sure to use a plastic washer (provided) with each screw; the narrow end of the washer must fit into the bracket slot, facing the chassis.
