Chapter 2 Installation
Preparing for Installation
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies of different
electrostatic potentials, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. It occurs when electronic
components are improperly handled, and it can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur with the combination of synthetic fibers and dry
atmosphere.
Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components:
Step 1
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.
Caution
To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
Step 2
Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that do not have a cable
attached.
If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch the exposed pins at the unconnected end of the
cable.
Note
This device is intended for use in residential and commercial environments only.
Caution
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10
megohms (Mohms).
Unpacking the Box
Table 2-1 lists the items that come with your router. All these items are in the accessory kit that is inside
the box that your router came in. If any of the items is missing or damaged, contact your customer service
representative.

Preventing Router Damage
To prepare for installation, follow these steps:
Obtain the ADSL line.
Step 1
Step 2
Remove the yellow Ethernet cable, light blue console cable, lavender ADSL cable, product
documentation, and Cisco 800 Documentation CD-ROM from the Open Me First bag. Remove the
desktop power supply and the black power cord from the accessory kit. Gather the Ethernet devices to
be connected to the router: hub, server, workstation, or PC.
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
If you plan to connect an analog telephone or fax machine, gather these devices. You must also provide
the telephone cable to connect each device (this cable is usually provided with the device).
If you plan to configure the software using a terminal or PC connected to the router, provide the terminal
or PC.
If you plan to use the cable lock feature available on the Cisco 827, SOHO 77, and Cisco 827-4V routers,
you must provide a Kensington or equivalent locking cable.
Preventing Router Damage
Follow these guidelines when connecting devices to your 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, “Specifications and Cables,” for cabling
specifications. If this appendix does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we strongly
recommend ordering the cable from Cisco Systems.
•
If the symbol of suitability ( ) appears above a port, you can connect the port directly to a public
network that follows the European Union standards.
Warning
If the symbol of suitability with an overlaid cross ( ) appears above a port, you must not connect the
port to a public network that follows the European Union standards. Connecting the port to this type
of public network can cause severe injury or damage to your router.

Caution
If you are mounting the router on drywall, use three hollow-wall anchors to secure the three 1/8-in. (M3)
screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the network cable connections could pull
the router from the wall. Use the drill bit size that is specified by the hollow-wall anchor manufacturer.
The following requirements must be met when you mount the router:
•
Because the LEDs are used as status and problem indicators, the LEDs on the front panel must face
upward and be easily visible.
•
•
The back panel must face downward to reduce strain on the cable connections.
The power supply must rest on a horizontal surface, such as the floor or a table. If the power supply
is not supported, strain on the power supply cable could cause it to disconnect from the connector
on the router back panel.

Caution
This equipment contains a ring signal generator (ringer), which is a source of hazardous voltage. Do
not touch the RJ-11 (phone) port wires (conductors), the conductors of a cable connected to the RJ-11
port, or the associated circuit-board when the ringer is active. The ringer is activated (indicated by a
clicking sound) by an incoming call.
Do not connect the router telephone ports to the telephone wall jack. These ports are not meant for direct
connection to a public network. This connection can damage your router.
The gray phone ports are RJ-11 connectors. If you are outside North America, you must buy and attach
adapters that allow telephones or fax machines to be connected to these RJ-11 connectors. In some
countries, these adapters need additional electronics so that the telephones or fax machines will work
properly with the router phone ports. For example, in the United Kingdom, you must buy an adapter that
also provides a master socket, which causes incoming calls to ring the connected devices. For
