Mounting the Cisco ISA500 Series  
Integrated Security Appliances  
3
You can place your security appliance on a desktop, mount it on a wall, or  
mount it in a rack.  
Placement Tips  
Ambient Temperature: To prevent the security appliance from  
overheating, 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 air flow around the security  
appliance.  
6
Cisco ISA500 Series Integrated Security Appliances Quick Start Guide  
Mechanical Loading: Be sure that the security appliance is level and  
stable to avoid any hazardous conditions.  
To place your security appliance on a desktop, install the supplied four  
rubber feet on the bottom of the security appliance. Place the security  
appliance on a flat surface.  
Wall Mounting  
The wall mounting hardware is user-supplied. We recommend that you use  
the following mounting screws to install your security appliance to the wall.  
The wall-mounting features on the bottom of the unit allow the front of the  
unit to face either upward or downward.

WARNING Insecure mounting might damage the device or cause injury.  
Cisco is not responsible for damages incurred by improper  
wall-mounting.  
STEP 1 Determine where you want to mount the security appliance. Verify  
that the surface is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy.  
STEP 2 Secure two M3 x 0.63 inch (16 mm) pan head wood screws, with  
anchors, into the wall 9.21 inches (234 mm) apart horizontally.  
Leave about 1/8 inch (3 to 4 mm) of the screw threads beneath the  
screw head exposed.  
STEP 3 Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the unit down  
until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.  
Cisco ISA500 Series Integrated Security Appliances Quick Start Guide

Rack Mounting  
You can mount the security appliance in any standard size, 19-inch (about  
48 cm) wide rack. The security appliance requires 1 rack unit (RU) of  
space, which is 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) high. The rack-mounting kit is  
included with the unit.  
CAUTION  
Do not overload the power outlet or circuit when installing  
multiple devices in a rack.  
STEP 1 Place one of the supplied silicon rubber spacers on the side of the  
security appliance so that the four holes align to the screw holes.  
Place the rack mount bracket next to the silicon rubber spacer and  
install the M3 screws.  
STEP 2 Install the security appliance into a standard rack as shown below.  
Place the washers on the brackets so that the holes align to the  
screw holes and then install the M5 screws.

STEP 1 If you are installing the ISA550W or ISA570W, screw each antenna  
onto a threaded connector on the back panel. Orient each antenna  
to point upward.  
STEP 2 Connect the security appliance to power using the supplied  
power cord and adapter. Make sure that the power switch is  
turned off.

Cisco ISA500 Series Integrated Security Appliances Quick Start Guide  
STEP 3 For a DSL or cable modem, or other WAN connectivity devices,  
connect an Ethernet network cable from the device to the WAN  
port on the back panel. Cisco strongly recommends using  
Category 5E or better cable.  
STEP 4 (Optional) For network devices, connect an Ethernet network cable  
from the network device to an available LAN port on the back panel.  
STEP 5 Power on the connected devices.  
STEP 6 Power on the security appliance. The lights on the front panel for  
all connected ports light up to show active connections.

You can log in to the ISA500 Series Configuration Utility and complete the  
initial configuration by using the Setup Wizard; follow these steps:  
STEP 1 Connect a computer to an available LAN port on the back panel of  
the security appliance.  
Your PC will become a DHCP client of the security appliance and  
will receive an IP address in the 192.168.75.x range.  
STEP 2 Start a web browser. In the Address bar, enter the default LAN IP  
address of the security appliance: 192.168.75.1.  
STEP 3 When the login page opens, enter the username and password.  
The default username is cisco. The default password is cisco.  
Usernames and passwords are case sensitive.
