Safety Recommendations
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
■Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
■Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.
■Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
■Wear safety glasses when working under conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
■Do not perform any action that creates a hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Safety with Electricity
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
■Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. If an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly turn off the power.
■Disconnect all power before doing the following:
–Installing or removing a chassis
■Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.
■Do not work alone if hazardous conditions exist.
■Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
■Never open the enclosure of the router’s internal power supply.
■If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
–Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
–Turn off power to the device.
–If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the victim’s condition and then call for help.
–Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.
Warning: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It can occur if electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:
■Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
■Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
■If no wrist strap is available, touch a metal part of the chassis to discharge any electromagnetic build up.
Caution: For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).
General Site Requirements
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of your router. Ensure that the site is properly prepared before beginning installation. If you are experiencing shutdowns or unusually high errors with your existing equipment, this section can also help you isolate the cause of failures and prevent future problems.
Rack Mounting
The router is designed for mounting on a DIN rail, or a wall. Cisco recommends that the router not be rack mounted. However, if you install the router in a rack, follow these guidelines:
■Allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.
■Allow at least one rack unit of vertical space between routers.
■Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each router generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above.
Router Environmental Requirements
The location of your router and the layout of the substation environment are important considerations for proper router operation. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns, and can make maintenance difficult.
Install the router so that you can access both the module-side and the cable-side panels.
When planning your site layout and equipment locations, refer to the General Site Requirements. If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or an unusually high number of errors with your existing equipment, these precautions and recommendations may help you isolate the cause of failure and prevent future problems.
■Ensure that the room where your router operates has adequate air circulation. Electrical equipment generates heat. Without adequate air circulation, ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures.
■Always follow ESD-prevention procedures described in the Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage, to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
■Ensure that the chassis cover and module cable side panels are secure. All empty module slots and power supply bays must have filler panels installed.
■When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails, try operating the equipment by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to allow the router under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.
Power Guidelines and Requirements
Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving “clean” power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner if necessary.
The AC power supply includes the autoselect feature for either 110 V or 220 V operation.

■1000BASE-T—1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable (IEEE 802.3ab). Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).
■100BASE-TX—100 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable (IEEE 802.3u). Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).
Serial Connections
Before you connect a device to a serial port, you need to know the following:
■Type of device, data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE)
■Type of connector, male or female, required to connect to the device
■Signaling standard required by the device
These are the most common devices connected to the router serial ports:
Connecting
■You must provide or purchase separately the correct serial cable. The cable does not ship with the router. Contact your Cisco reseller to purchase the correct cable from Cisco.
■You can connect a device to this port while the router is operating normally.
