Inspecting the Router
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
•
6-foot (1.8-meter) power cord for AC power)
•
Rubber feet for desktop mounting
•
Rack-mount brackets with screws for 19-inch racks
•
Cable management bracket
•
RJ-45-to-DB-9 console cable
•
DB-9-to-DB-25 connector adapter
•
Optional equipment (such as network connection cables or additional rack-mount brackets)
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 quick start guide that shipped with your router.
