Chassis Installation Procedures for Cisco 2800 Series Routers
OL-5786-03
Setting Up the Chassis
Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kg), and do not stack
routers on a desktop. Excessive distributed weight of more than 10 pounds, or pound point load of
10 pounds on top could damage the chassis.
Caution Your chassis installation must allow unrestricted airflow for chassis cooling. For placing the router on a
desktop, keep at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) of clear space beside the cooling inlet and exhaust vents.
After the router is installed, you must connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground. For the chassis
ground connection procedures, see the “Installing the Chassis Ground Connection” section on page 13.
Mounting a Cisco 2811 Router on a Wall
This section explains how to mount Cisco 2811 routers on a wall or other vertical surface. Mounting
Cisco 2801, Cisco 2821, and Cisco 2851 routers on a wall is not recommended.
The following warning applies to Cisco 2811 routers:
Warning
This unit is intended to be mounted on a wall. Please read the wall mounting instructions carefully
before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware or to follow the correct procedures
could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system.
Statement 248
Tip When choosing a wall mounting location, consider cable limitations and wall structure.
Use brackets designed for 23-inch rack-mounting (shown in Figure 6) to wall-mount the chassis.
