Cisco Systems MWR 1900 manual Inspecting the Router, Creating a Site Log

Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Router

Inspecting the Router

•#6, ring-style ground lug.

•18-AWG copper wire for the power cord.

•Wire-stripping tool(s) for stripping both 6- and 18-gauge wires.

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:

•Router

•Rack-mount brackets

•This publication, the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document, optional companion publications, or Documentation CD-ROM, as specified in your order

•Cisco Information Packet publication

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. Warranty, service, and support information is in the Cisco Information Packet that shipped with your router.

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 (a sample is included in the following section) to verify steps in the installation and maintenance of the router. Site Log entries might include the following:

•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
