Creating a Site Log
The Site Log provides a record of all actions related to the router. Keep it in an accessible place near the
chassis where anyone who performs tasks has access to it. Use the Installation Checklist to verify steps
in the installation and maintenance of the router. 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
entries as each procedure is completed.
•Upgrade and maintenance procedures—Use the Site Log as a record of ongoing router maintenance
and expansion history. A Site Log might include the following events:
–
Installation of network modules
–
Removal or replacement of network modules and 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 chassis in its shipping container to prevent accidental damage. When you are
ready to install the router, proceed with unpacking it.
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:

•Rubber feet for desktop mounting (Cisco 2801 router only)
