Chapter 3 Installing Cisco IAD2430 Series IADs

Wall-Mounting the Chassis

Caution If you are mounting the router on drywall, use two hollow-wall anchors (1/8 inch with 5/16-inch 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 must be easily visible.

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

•The external 60-W power supply adapter must rest on a horizontal surface such as the floor or a table. If the power supply is not supported, it could place strain on the powersupply cable and cause it to disconnect from the connector on the router back panel.

To wall-mount the Cisco IAD2435 IADs, follow these steps:

Step 1 Secure two screws 7 5/8 inches (19.35 centimeters) apart into a wall and 1/8 inch (0.32 centimeter) from the wall.

Step 2 Hang the router on the screws as shown in Figure 3-12.

Step 3 Place the power supply on a horizontal surface.
