Wall-Mounting the Router
This section explains how to mount a Cisco 3620 or Cisco 3640 router on a wall. If you have
questions or need help with the wall-mounting procedure, refer to the section "Obtaining Service
and Support" later in this document.
If you are planning to wall-mount your router, do so before making network and power connections.
If you need to install network modules or WAN interface cards, you can do so either before or after
mounting the router, whenever you have better access to the rear of the router.
