Safety
This section contains information on warnings associated with using your router and on
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Warnings
Before installing the router, read the following warnings:
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or
replace this equipment.
Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its
power source.

Safety
Cisco 805 Router Hardware Installation Guide
2-2
Warning Before working on a system that has a standby/on switch, turn the
power to standby and unplug the power cord.
Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove
jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when
connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal
object to the terminals.
Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all
national laws and regulations.
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 your router.
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain
SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports
both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Figure 2-1 shows the Cisco 805 router ports that include SELV circuits. For a definition of
SELV and TNV, see “Terms and Acronyms” in “About this Guide.”

ESD
Figure 2-1 SELV Circuit Ports
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 Appendix A, “Selecting a Serial Cable.”
•The terminal or PC with which you plan to configure the software or troubleshoot the
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.

Connecting a Serial Device
You can connect any one of several serial devices to the router serial port. For more
information, see the “DTE or DCE” section in Appendix A, “Selecting a Serial Cable.”
Table 2-2 describes the devices most commonly connected to the router serial port and how
these devices are used.
Note A serial cable does not ship with the router. For information on selecting and
ordering the serial cable, refer to Appendix A, “Selecting a Serial Cable.”
Follow the steps in Figure 2-4 to connect a modem or CSU/DSU.
Caution The Cisco 805 router does not support the Australian IUT requirement,
which specifies that the router must communicate for 1/2 hour after a power
failure. If a power failure occurs, the Cisco 805 router stops communicating with
other devices.

Connecting the Power Supply
Follow the steps in Figure 2-6 to connect the power supply.
Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.
Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit
(overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than
120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 16A international) is used on the phase conductors
(all current-carrying conductors).
Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is
connected to earth ground during normal use.

Installing the Router
Cisco 805 Router Hardware Installation Guide

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 2-7 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.

Installing the Cisco 805 Router 2-15
Mounting the Router
Figure 2-7 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 2-8. The last page of this manual provides a
template for measuring the distance between the screws.

Verifying Installation
Verifying Installation
Verify the power, Ethernet, and serial connections by checking the LEDs. Table 2-3
describes the normal pattern for each LED and what to do if you get an abnormal pattern.
Where to Go Next
You have completed the hardware installation and are ready to configure the software.
Cisco strongly recommends that you use the Cisco 805 Fast Step software. Use the
Cisco 805 Fast Step CD-ROM that ships with the Cisco 805 router and Cisco 805 Fast Step
online help. If you decide to use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure the
software, refer to the Cisco 805 Router Software Configuration Guide.
