Preventing Damage to the Router
To prevent damage to your router, follow these guidelines when connecting devices to your router:

Caution Do not turn on the devices until after you have completed all connections to the router.
• If you must supply your own cable, see the “Technical Specifications” section on page A-1 for
cabling specifications. If this appendix does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we
strongly recommend ordering the cable from Cisco.
