1 Installing the Cisco RV260

To prevent the device from overheating or being damaged:

•Ambient Temperature — Do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).

•Air Flow — Be sure that there is adequate airflow around the device. If wall mounting the device, make sure that the heat dissipation holes are to the side.

•Circuit Overloading — Adding the device to the power outlet must not overload that circuit.

•Mechanical Loading — Be sure that the device is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions and that it is secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out of position. Do not place anything on top of the device, as excessive weight may damage it.

Desktop Mounting

For desktop mounting, place the device on a flat surface so that it sits on its four rubber feet.

Rack Mounting

Your RV260 router includes a rack-mount kit that contains:

•Two rack-mount brackets

•Eight M4*6L (F) B-ZN #2 screws
