5 Installing the Router
Scenario 1: Desk Mounting
The AR600 series, AR1600 series, AR6120
sub-
series, and AR6121
sub-
series routers can be desk-mounted. For the
AR610
sub-
series routers, you can place the router directly on a desk to finish the installation.
Do not stack routers on top of or closely next to each other.
Router models provide a security slot ( ) on the side of the chassis. You can install a security lock (separately
purchased) in this slot to protect the router against theft.
Before You Start
Installation Procedure
Attach four rubber pads to the bottom.

Scenario 2: Wall Mounting (through the Installation Holes
)
This installation method applies to the
AR600 series (excluding the AR651F-Lite and AR651C
) and
AR6120
sub-
series routers.
Before drilling holes in a wall, make sure there are no power cables in the wall to avoid electric shock.
Ensure that there are no flammable or explosive materials near the router and no obstructions within 100 mm
around the router.
The panel with interfaces must face down to protect the interfaces from water.
The distance between two installation holes of the AR610
sub-
series routers is 153 mm.
Before You Start
Do not place this product in an environment with flammable or explosive gases, or smoke.
The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity. If the relative
humidity is high, use dehumidifiers or dehumidifying air conditioners.
The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that air vents on the equipment are not blocked.
Do not install the equipment in a dusty environment.
Leave at least 50 mm clearance at the rear and both sides of the chassis for heat dissipation.
If multiple routers are installed in a cabinet/rack, leave at least 1 U (44.45 mm) distance between each two
routers.
The WLAN functions on the 5.15 GHz–5.35 GHz band for the equipment are restricted to indoor use only in the
UK, Hong Kong, and all European Union countries.
Ensure that the temperature and humidity at the installation site meet the router operation requirements. For
the specific requirements, see the for your router on the Huawei support website.
