Router Orientation When Mounting
When mounting the router on a DIN rail or wall, ensure that the router is oriented with the chassis
cabling openings pointing down so the router cable hangs down.

potentially impact network and other connections. Cisco discourages mounting the router with the cable
panel at the top.
