cord facing downward.
Mounting the Router in a Rack
The Cisco Secure Router 520 Series routers can be front-mounted in 19-inch racks only. The mounting
brackets are not included with the router. If you choose to mount the router into a rack, you must order
the mounting brackets separately.

When choosing a location for mounting the router on a wall, consider cable limitations and wall
structure.
Mount the router with the front panel facing upward. Make sure to mount the router low enough so
that you can see the LEDs.
Make sure that the power supply rests on a horizontal surface such as the floor or a table. If the power
supply is not supported, the strain on the power adapter cable could cause it to disconnect from the
router.
Do not install the router or its power supply next to a heat source of any kind, including heating
vents.
To mount the router on a wall stud, attach two #10 wood screws (round or pan-head) with #10
washers, or two #10 washer-head screws to the wall. Make sure that the screws are long enough to
penetrate at least 3/4 in. (20 mm) into the supporting wood or into a metal wall stud.
To mount the router on a hollow wall, attach two wall anchors with washers to the wall. Make sure
that the wall is at least 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) thick and that the wall anchors and washers are a size
suitable for the wall to which they are attached.
