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 2
Step 1
Connecting the Cisco ISA500 Series
Integrated Security Appliances

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.

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.
