Chapter 2 Installing the Router

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:

Step 1 Determine the required distance between mounting holes on the router. Figure 2-37shows 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 Figure 2-37. For the Cisco 866 and Cisco 867 models, the distance is 7.85 inches (199 mm). Verify the required distance before drilling the holes.
