You can install external modules before or after mounting a router. However, if you choose to install the
external modules after mounting the router on the rack or wall, ensure that you have optimal access to the
back/front panel of the router.
For information on modules and Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), see the Install and Upgrade Modules and
FRUs section.

If you choose to setup the router on a desktop, you can place the router on a desktop, bench top or on a shelf.
Rack Mount
Secure the rack mounting brackets on the sides of the chassis. You must first secure rack mounting brackets
on the chassis before you set up the chassis on the rack.
Do not stack multiple Cisco 1000 ISRs when mounting the routers on a table top.
Caution
When mounting Cisco 1000 ISRs on a rack, ensure that there is ample surrounding space. This ensures more
heat removal, which in turn will enable the surrounding air temperature to stay within the specified operating
conditions.
