Preparing for Installation

This chapter includes specific information about required tools and parts, safety guidelines, and preparatory information required to ensure a successful installation of your Cisco 7500 series router.

The Cisco Information Packet provides safety, and service, and support information, and is included in the shipping container, together with any companion publications you specified on your order. Inspect all items for shipping damage. If anything is damaged, immediately contact a customer service representative.
