Mounting on a Wall

The Cisco 860 series, 880 series, and 890 series ISRs have mounting holes on the bottom of the chassis
for mounting the unit on a wall or other vertical surface.
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.
When choosing a location for wall-mounting the router, consider cable limitations and wall structure.
Tip
To mount the router on a wall, follow these steps:
Determine the required distance between mounting holes on the router.
Step 1
wall-mount holes located on the underside of the router.

For most router models, the distance between mounting holes is 8.2 inches (208 mm), as shown
in Figure 2-41. For the Cisco 866 and Cisco 867 models, the distance is 7.85 inches (199 mm).
Verify the required distance before drilling the holes.
