22 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ROUTER When positioning your Router, ensure: ■ It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat. ■ Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers. ■ Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit. ■ Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. 3Com recommends you provide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance. Using the Rubber Feet Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Router from moving around on your desk or when stacking with flat top units. Only stick the feet to the marked areas at each corner of the underside of your Router. Please be careful when you put 3Com 11n ADSL Router on top of another unit, if the unit underneath is hot, this may impact the reliability of 3Com 11n ADSL Router. Wall Mounting There are two slots on the underside of the Router that can be used for wall mounting. The Router must be mounted with the LEDs facing upwards. When wall mounting the unit, ensure it is within reach of the power outlet. When wall mounting the unit, ensure that the rubber feet are not fixed. Mounting To wall mount the unit: Instructions for Cement Walls 1 Make two holes 98 mm (3.9 in.) apart and insert two nylon or similar screw anchors that are suitable for the wall construction. 2 Fix two suitable screws into the anchors, leaving their heads 3 mm (0.12 in.) clear of the wall surface. The screws should be at least 30 mm (1.2 in.) long. 3 Remove any connections in the Router and locate it over the screw heads.
