ESD

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 guidelines when removing and replacing components:

Connect the chassis to earth ground with a wire that you provide.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.
Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of uncabled router ports.
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).

Required Equipment

You need to provide the following equipment:

The hub, server, workstation, or PC that you plan to connect to the Ethernet port. The server, workstation, or PC must have a 10- or 10/100-Mbps network interface card (NIC).

The asynchronous modem or channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) that you plan to connect to the serial port.

The serial cable that connects the router to the serial device. For information on selecting and ordering the serial cable, refer to "Selecting a Serial Cable."
The terminal or PC with which you plan to configure the software or troubleshoot the router.
If you plan to mount your router on a wall or other vertical surface, two number-six, 3/4-inch (M3.5 x 20 mm) screws. If the wall to which you plan to mount your router is drywall, you must also provide two hollow wall-anchors (1/8 inch with 5/16-inch drill bit or M3 with 8-mm drill bit) to secure the screws.

Mounting the Router

You can mount the router on one of the following surfaces:

Table or other horizontal surface
Wall or other vertical surface

Mounting the Router on a Table

You can mount your router on a table or other horizontal surface. Use the following guidelines:

Do not cover or obstruct the router vents, which are located on the router sides.
You can stack a maximum of five routers on top of one another. (The router has a curved ridge on the enclosure top that mates with a curved indentation on the enclosure bottom. When stacking one of these routers on top of another, this mating feature ensures that the routers are securely stacked.)

Mounting the Router on a Wall

You can mount your router on a wall or other vertical surface by using the molded mounting brackets on the router bottom and two number-six, 3/4-inch (M3.5 x 20 mm) screws. You must provide the screws. Figure 2-8 shows the mounting brackets.

Caution
If the wall to which you mount your router is drywall, use two hollow wall-anchors (1/8 inch with 5/16-inch drill bit or M3 with 8-mm drill bit) to secure the screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the network cable connections could pull the router from the wall.

Figure 2-8: Wall-Mounting Brackets (Bottom of Router)

When mounting the router, the following conditions must be met:

Because you will use the front panel LEDs as status and problem indicators, the router 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, it might place strain on the power supply cable and cause it to disconnect from the connector on the router back panel.

To mount the router, follow the steps in Figure 2-9. The last page of this manual provides a template for measuring the distance between the screws.
