Preparing for Installation
Before installing the router, consider power and cabling requirements that must
be in place at your installation site, special equipment for installing the router, and
the environmental conditions your installation site must meet to maintain normal
operation. This chapter guides you through the process of preparing for router
installation.
The shipping package for the router is engineered to reduce the chances of product
damage associated with routine material handling experienced during shipment.
•
The router should always be transported or stored in its shipping package in
the upright position.
•
Keep the router in the shipping container until you have determined the
installation site.
Use the unpacking instructions included with the router to unpack it and inspect
all items for shipping damage. If an item appears damaged, contact a Cisco
customer service representative immediately.
