Wall-Mount the Chassis
Wall-Mount the Chassis
Follow these steps to mount the chassis on a wall. You can purchase a wall-mount kit. The part number for
the wall-mount kit is ASA5506-WALL-MNT= .
Step 1
Choose a location on the wall for the chassis.
Step 2 Use the two Cisco-provided screws and anchors from the optional wall-mount kit.
If you are mounting the chassis onto something other than drywall, such as wood or sheet metal, anchors may not be
required.
Step 3 Use a pencil, ruler, and level to mark locations for the two mounting screws.
The width and length of the chassis are 7.87 x 9.23 inches ( 20 x 23.44 cm). The mounting holes in the chassis are in the
middle length-wise (that is, 6.372 inches from front and back), while the holes are inset from the opposite edges 0.75
inches (1.9 cm).
Thus, you need to make two level marks 6.37, or approximately 6-3/8, inches (16.18 cm) apart.

Step 4 Drill a hole into the wall at each mark.
These holes should be slightly smaller in diameter than your anchors. The recommended drill hole size is 3/16".
Step 5
Insert the anchors into the holes and be sure they are properly seated.
Step 6 Fasten each screw into its anchor until it protrudes about 1/4 inch.
Step 7
Pick up the chassis, align the screws in the anchors with the holes in the bottom of the chassis, move the chassis toward
the wall until the screw heads are in the chassis, and then slide the chassis down until it rests on the screws.
