Creating a Site Log

Creating a Site Log

The site log contains a record of all actions related to the router. Keep it in an accessible place near the router, where anyone who performs these actions has access to it. Site log entries might include the following information:

•Installation progress—Make a copy of the installation checklist and insert it into the site log. Make an entry as each procedure is completed.

•Upgrade and maintenance procedures—Use the site log as a record of ongoing router maintenance and expansion history, such as the following events:

–Installation of network modules

–Removal or replacement of network modules

–Other upgrades

–Configuration changes

–Maintenance schedules and requirements

–Maintenance procedures performed

–Intermittent problems

–Comments and notes

Inspecting the Router

Do not unpack the router until you are ready to install it. If the final installation site will not be ready for some time, keep the router in its shipping container to prevent accidental damage.

The router, cables, publications, and any optional equipment you ordered may be shipped in more than one container. When you unpack the containers, check the packing list to ensure that you received all the following items:

•Router

•6-ft (1.8-m) AC power cord (for AC-powered routers)

•Ethernet cable for Gigabit Ethernet interface

•One pair of rack-mount brackets for a 19-inch rack, with screws to attach the brackets to the router

•NEBS-compliant two-hole barrel grounding lug and two mounting screws

•Cable management bracket (Cisco 3825 router only)

•RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable for console port

•RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter cable for auxiliary port

•Any optional equipment that you ordered

•Cisco product registration card and Cisco.com card

Inspect all items for shipping damage. If anything appears to be damaged, or if you encounter problems installing or configuring your router, contact customer service. For warranty information, see the “Cisco 90-Day Limited Hardware Warranty Terms” section on page 10 of “Introduction to Cisco 3800 Series Routers Hardware Documentation.” For technical support, see the “Obtaining Technical Assistance” section on page 12 of that document.
