Ethernet Devices
Identify the Ethernet devices that you will connect to the router: hub, servers, and workstations or PCs. Ensure that each device has a network interface card (NIC) for connecting to Ethernet ports.
•If you plan to configure the software using Cisco IOS commands through the console port, provide an ASCII terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation software to connect to the console port.
•If you plan to connect a modem, provide the modem and modem cable.
•If you plan to use the Data BRI port, provide an NT1 device and an ISDN S/T cable.
•If you plan to use the cable-lock feature, provide a Kensington or equivalent locking cable.
Installing the Router
This section describes how to install the Cisco 860 series, 880 series, and 890 series ISRs. These routers can either be installed on a table top or other flat horizontal surface or be mounted on a wall. The Cisco 890 series ISRs may be mounted in a rack. This section also describes how to attach WLAN antennas to the Cisco 890 series routers. This section contains the following topics:

Warnings
Warning This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 12 to 14 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth ground during normal use. Statement 242
Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Warning This unit is intended to be mounted on a wall. Please read the wall mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system. Statement 248
Caution Do not cover or obstruct the router vents located on both sides of the router; otherwise, overheating could occur and cause damage to the router.
Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms), and do not stack routers on a desktop. Excessive weight on top of the router could damage the chassis.
Caution Do not install the router or power supplies next to a heat source of any kind, including heating vents.
Installing Antennas
The Cisco 890 series wireless routers have three reverse-polarity threaded Neill-Concelman (RP-TNC) connectors on the back panel. The antennas that are shipped with the router are dual-band 2.4-GHz to 5-GHz omnidirectional dipole antennas.
Warning Statement 372—All wireless LAN products in the 5.2/5.3GHz band cannot be used outdoors. Use the product only indoors.
Note Before you install the Cisco 890 series wireless router on a table, wall, or rack, connect the antennas to the back panel. It is difficult to attach the antennas after the router is installed.
To attach the radio antennas to your wireless router, follow these steps:
Step 1 Manually screw the antennas tight to the RP-TNC connectors on the back of the router.
Figure 2-1 Attaching Antennas to the Router
Step 2 Orient the antennas. For optimum wireless performance, the antennas should be perpendicular with respect to the floor.
a. If the router is being mounted on a desk, orient the antennas straight up.
b. If the router is being mounted on a wall, orient the antennas perpendicular to the floor as shown in Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-2 Antennas Oriented Vertically Up
Figure 2-3 Antennas Oriented Vertically Down
Installing on a Table
To install the router on a table or other flat horizontal surface, firmly place the router on a table or other horizontal surface. Keep at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of clear space beside the cooling inlet and exhaust vents.
Connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground. For the chassis ground connection procedures, see the "Installing the Router Ground Connection" section.
Mounting on a Wall
The Cisco 860 series, 880 series, and 890 series ISRs have mounting holes on the bottom of the chassis for mounting the unit on a wall or other vertical surface.
Note The mounting holes are bidirectional. You can hang the router with the front bezel facing upwards or downwards.
Tip When choosing a location for wall-mounting the router, consider cable limitations and wall structure.
To mount the router on a wall, follow these steps:
Step 1 Anchor the screws into the wall, leaving 1/8 inch (0.32 centimeter) between the screw head and the wall.
Figure 2-4 shows the wall-mount holes located on the underside of the router.
Figure 2-4 Wall-mount Holes on the Underside of the Router
Step 2 Hang the router on the screws, and place the power adapter on a nearby horizontal surface. See Figure 2-5.

Installing in a Rack
The Cisco 890 series ISRs can be mounted in a rack. To install a Cisco 890 series ISR in a rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Using the screws provided, attach the rack-mount brackets to the Cisco 890 series ISR chassis as shown in Figure 2-6. Use four screws on each side. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to install the bracket screws on both sides of the chassis.
Caution Do not overtorque the screws. The recommended torque is 6 to 8 in-lb (0.7 to 0.9 N-m).
Figure 2-6 Attaching the Rack-mount Brackets to the Cisco 890 Series ISR
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
-- This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
-- When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
-- If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack. Statement 1006
Caution Chassis installation must allow unrestricted airflow for chassis cooling.
Step 2 Using two screws for each side (supplied with the rack), attach the Cisco 890 series ISR with rack-mount brackets to a 19-inch rack. Start with the lower pair of screws first, resting the brackets on the lower screws while you insert the upper pair of screws.
Note Be sure to leave space above and below each unit in a rack to allow for cooling air circulation.
Tip The screw slots in the brackets are spaced to line up with every second pair of screw holes in the rack. When the correct screw holes are used, the small threaded holes in the brackets line up with unused screw holes in the rack. If the small holes do not line up with the rack holes, you must raise or lower the brackets to the next rack hole.
Step 3 Place the power adapter on a nearby horizontal surface.
Step 4 Connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground. For the chassis ground connection procedures, see the "Installing the Router Ground Connection" section.
Installing the Router Ground Connection
The router must be connected to a reliable earth ground. Install the ground wire in accordance with local electrical safety standards.
•For NEC-compliant grounding, use size 14 AWG (2 mm2) or larger copper wire and a ring terminal with an inner diameter of 1/4 in. (5 to 7 mm).
•For EN/IEC 60950-compliant grounding, use size 18 AWG (1 mm2) or larger copper wire.
To install the ground connection, follow these steps:
Step 1 Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the ground lug or terminal.
Step 2 Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug or ring terminal, using the wire crimper.
Step 3 Attach the ground lug or ring terminal to the chassis as shown in Figure 2-7. For a ground lug, use the two provided screws with captive locking washers. For a ring terminal, use one of the screws provided. Tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb (0.9 to 1.1 N-m).
Figure 2-7 Chassis Ground Connection Using Ring Terminal
Step 4 Connect the other end of the ground wire to a known reliable earth ground point at your site.
After you install and properly ground the router, you can connect the power wiring, the WAN and LAN cables, and the cables for administrative access as required for your installation.
