Installing on a Table
To install the router on a table or other flat horizontal surface, firmly place the router on a table or other horizontal surface. Keep at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of clear space for heat dissipation.
Connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground. For the chassis ground connection procedures, see the "Installing the Router Ground Connection" section.
Mounting on a Wall
The Cisco 819 ISR has mounting holes on the bottom of the chassis for mounting the unit on a wall or other vertical surface. The attachment hardware is provided.
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 Remove the screws on the sides of the routers.
Step 2 Attach the standard brackets to the chassis using the three screws provided for each bracket. (See Figure 2-4.)
Figure 2-4 Attaching the Standard Brackets
Step 3 Install the router to a wall stud using two number-10 wood screws, round- or pan-head, with number-10 washers or two number-10 washer-head screws. The screws must be long enough to penetrate at least 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) into the supporting wood or metal wall stud. (See Figure 2-5.)
Note The orientation of the Cisco 819 ISR products is critical when wall-mounting. The router must be oriented as shown in Figure 2-5 with the left side of the router rotated up (as viewed from the IO side) to comply with IP41 and safety criteria. No other wall mounting orientation is supported.
Figure 2-5 Installing the Router to the Wall
Note For hollow-wall mounting, each bracket requires two wall anchors with washers. Wall anchors and washers must be size number 10.
Step 4 Route the cables so that they do not put a strain on the connectors or mounting hardware. To comply with IP 41, cables should be routed down relative to the router to prevent water from travelling on the cables.
Installing a DIN Rail
You can use either the 7.5-mm or the 15-mm thick DIN rail for the Cisco 819 ISR. Secure the DIN rail to the mounting surface approximately every 7.8 inches (200 mm) and use end-anchors appropriately.
Note DIN rail mounting is not supported on Cisco 819HGW and Cisco 819HWD ISRs.
To attach the Cisco 819 ISR to a 35-mm wide DIN rail, follow these steps.
Step 1 Attach the DIN rail to the back of the router using the three screws provided. (See Figure 2-6.)
Figure 2-6 Attaching the DIN Rail to the Cisco 819 ISR
Step 2 Find the tab on the end of the DIN rail that extends past the router. (See Figure 2-7.) Press the tab in and slide the DIN rail out while the tab is pressed down.
Figure 2-7 DIN Rail Tab
Step 3 Turn the router sideways so that the antenna is at the top.
Step 4 Position the rear edge of the router directly in front of the DIN rail, making sure that the DIN rail fits in the space between the latch and hook.
Step 5 Position the router so that the hook on the DIN rail bracket hooks onto the top edge of the DIN rail. The weight of the product can rest on the hook temporarily while the DIN rail bracket latches are secured.
Step 6 Push the DIN rail bracket latch up after the router is over the DIN rail to secure it. The router is now installed in the DIN rail. (See Figure 2-8.)
Figure 2-8 Cisco 819 ISR Installed with the DIN Rail
Installing the Router Ground Connection
The router must be connected to a reliable earth ground. Install the ground wire in accordance with local electrical safety standards.
•For NEC-compliant grounding, use size 14 AWG (2 mm2) or larger copper wire and a ring terminal with an inner diameter of 1/4 in. (5 to 7 mm).
•For EN/IEC 60950-compliant grounding, use size 18 AWG (1 mm2) or larger copper wire.
|
Warning This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 12 to 14 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth ground during normal use. Statement 242
|
To install the ground connection, follow these steps:
Step 1 Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the terminal.
Step 2 Crimp the ground wire to the ring terminal using the wire crimper.
Step 3 If you choose to install the power switch lock, perform Step 5 to Step 7.
If you choose not to install power switch lock, perform Step 4 and Step 6 to Step 7.
Step 4 Attach the ring terminal to the chassis. Use the single screw provided. Tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 inch-pound (0.9 to 1.1 newton meter). (See Figure 2-9.)
Figure 2-9 Chassis Ground Connection Using Ring Terminal
Step 5 Install the power switch lock, see the "Installing the Power Switch Lock" section. Tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb (0.9 to 1.1 N-m). Torque the hex standoff to the same torque.
Step 6 Connect the other end of the ground wire to a known reliable earth ground point at your site.
Step 7 If you are using this router in a vehicle, attach the ring terminal to the chassis using one of the screws provided and the green or green and yellow striped wire. Connect the other end of the wire to the vehicle ground.
After you install and properly ground the router, you can connect the power wiring, the LAN cables, and the cables for administrative access as required for your installation.
Installing the Power Cord Retention Lock
The Cisco 819 ISRs have a power cord retention mechanism as an accessory. It locks the power cord to the router so when a user accidentally pulls out the power cord, the power cord will not come out from the router. For the complete list of Cisco 819 ISRs that support power cord retention lock, see Table 1-4.
This section describes how to install the power cord retention lock.
Step 1 Pre-assemble the o-ring onto the barrel of the power cord as shown in Figure 2-10.

Mounting the DC Power Supply
|
Warning 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 378
|
The Cisco 800 ISR DC power supply may be mounted to a wall using four #6 pan- or round-head wood screws for the mounting holes on the supply.
Caution Each mounting screw must go into a wall stud (wood) or a wall anchor of the appropriate type for the wall. Screws into drywall is not sufficient to support the DC power supply.
For attaching to a wall stud, the power supply requires #6 wood screws (round- or pan-head). The screws must be long enough to penetrate and tap at least 0.75 inches (19.1 mm) into the supporting wood or metal wall stud.
For hollow-wall mounting, the power supply requires the use of appropriate-sized wall anchors that work with the drywall thickness the unit is to be installed in. Use hollow-wall anchors that support using #6 screws and use #6 pan- or round-head screws to secure the power supply to the wall. Each wall anchor should be rated for at least 30 lbs.
Caution If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the DC supply cables could pull the router from the wall.
Figure 2-16 DC Power Supply Wall-Mounting Features
To mount the DC power supply to the wall, follow these instructions:
Step 1 Install the four screws into the mounting holes on the DC power supply (see Figure 2-16) before being secured to the wall studs or wall anchors.
Step 2 Hang the DC power supply by securing the screws to the wall stud or into the wall anchors.
Note The DC supply is IP 41 compliant in all six orthogonal directions. The mounting orientation will not affect IP 41 compliance.
