Before you install, configure, or perform maintenance on the router, review the documentation for the procedure you are about to perform, paying special attention to the safety warnings. The following guidelines will help to ensure your own safety and protect your Cisco equipment.

• Cisco safety policy mandates that all its routers must conform to the requirements of IEC 62368-1 with appropriate national deviations, as a minimum. In addition, Cisco routers must also meet the requirements of any other normative documents, for example, standards, technical specifications, laws or regulations.

• Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself.

• Always unplug the power cable before installing or removing a chassis.

• Keep the chassis area clear and dust free during and after installation.

• Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.

• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (including rings and chains), or other items that could get caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and sleeves.

• The router operates safely when it is used in accordance with its marked electrical ratings and product-usage instructions.

Note	Do not unpack the system until you are ready to install it. Keep the chassis in the shipping container to prevent accidental damage until you determine an installation site. Use the appropriate unpacking documentation included with the system.

Warning

Statement 1071—Warning Definition IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Read the installation instructions before using, installing, or connecting the system to the power source. Use the statement number at the beginning of each warning statement to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings for this device. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Read the installation instructions in this document before you connect the system to its power source. Failure to read and follow these guidelines could lead to an unsuccessful installation and possibly damage the system and components.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It can occur if electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:

• Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to ground.

• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.

• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis

  Caution

  For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the anti-static strap. It should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

This section describes the requirements your site must meet for the safe installation and operation of your router. Ensure that the site is properly prepared before beginning installation. If you are experiencing shutdowns or unusually high errors with your existing equipment, the guidelines provided in this section can also help you isolate the cause of failures and prevent future problems. Take note of the following general safety warnings:

The Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers require specific environmental operating conditions. Temperature, humidity, altitude, and vibration can affect the performance and reliability of the router. The following sections provide specific information to help you plan for the proper operating environment.

The Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers are designed to meet the industry EMC, safety, and environmental standards described in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers document.

For the Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers, use brackets with a 19-inch rack.

The following information can help you plan your equipment rack configuration:

• Allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.

• Allow at least one rack unit of vertical space between routers; more clearance is required when stacking multiple Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers. Provide adequate heat removal mechanism to keep the surrounding air temperature well within the specified operating temperature condition.

• Ensure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.

• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to the components in the rack.

Note	More spacing may be required depending on the installation environment.

• Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested because each router generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. The heat generated by the equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above it.

• When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intake or exhaust ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated in the rack.

Follow these basic guidelines when you are working with any electrical equipment:

• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

• Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a chassis.

• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe. Never install equipment that appears damaged.

• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving power that is free of spikes and noise. Install a power conditioner, if necessary.

Refer to the Power supply section that lists the power requirements for the Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers.

The following sections describe the cables, and the specifications required to install Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers:

The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The routers support the following Ethernet implementations:

See the Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications document at Cisco.com for information about Ethernet cables, connectors, and pinouts.

You need the following tools and equipment to install and upgrade the router and its components:

• An ESD-preventive cord and a wrist strap.

• A number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

• Phillips screwdrivers: small, 3/16-in. (4 to 5 mm) and medium 1/4-in. (6 to 7 mm). You might need these when you install or remove modules.

• Screws that fit the rack.

• A wire crimper.

• A wire for connecting the chassis to an earth ground: AWG 14 (2 mm²) or larger wire.

• An appropriate user-supplied UL or a CSA-certified ring terminal with an inner diameter of 1/4 in. (5 to 7 mm).
