You can install external modules before or after mounting a router. However, if you choose to install the
external modules after mounting the router on the rack or wall, ensure that you have optimal access to the
back/front panel of the router.
For information on modules and Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), see the
Install and Upgrade Modules and
section.

If you choose to setup the router on a desktop, you can place the router on a desktop, bench top or on a shelf.
Rack Mount
The router is shipped with rack mounting brackets that are to be secured on the sides of the chassis. You must
first secure rack mounting brackets on the chassis before you set up the chassis on the rack.
Do not stack multiple Cisco 1000 ISRs when mounting the routers on a table top.
