Installing the Cisco 860, 880, 890 ISR

The mounting holes are bidirectional. You can hang the router with the front bezel facing upward or

downward.

Keep at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of clear space beside the cooling inlet and exhaust vents.

Tip When choosing a location for wall-mounting the router, consider cable limitations and wall structure.

To mount the router on a wall, follow these steps:

Step1 Determine the required distance between mounting holes on the router. Figure 2-37 shows the

wall-mount holes located on the underside of the router.

Note For most router models, the distance between mounting holes is 8.2 inches (208 mm), as shown

in Figure2-37. For the Cisco 866 and Cisco 867 models, the distance is 7.85 inches (199 mm).

Verify the required distance before drilling the holes.

Step2 Insert the screws, with anchors, into the wall. Leave 1/8inch (0.32 cm) between the screw head and the

wall. See Figure 2-38.
