Do not stack the ASA chassis on top of another ASA chassis. If you stack the units, they will overheat,
which causes the units to power cycle.
Caution
Wall Mount the ASA
Follow these steps to mount your ASA 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 desired wall for the ASA.
Step 2
Use the two Cisco-provided screws and anchors from the optional wall-mount kit.
If you are mounting the ASA 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 ASA 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.
