Preparing to Connect the Router

Before you connect the router to the devices, install the router according to the instructions in Chapter 2, “Installing the Router.”

Preventing Damage to the Router

To prevent damage to your router, follow these guidelines when connecting devices to your router:

•Turn off power to the devices and to the router until all connections are completed.

Caution Do not turn on the devices until after you have completed all connections to the router.

•Connect the color-coded cables supplied by Cisco Systems to the color-coded ports on the back panel.

•If you must supply your own cable, see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications,” for cabling specifications. If this appendix does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we strongly recommend ordering the cable from Cisco Systems.
