Unpacking the Box
Table 2-1 lists the items that come with your router. All these items are in the
accessory kit that is inside the box that your router came in. If any of the items is
missing or damaged, contact your customer service representative.
To prepare for installation, follow these steps:
Step 1 Obtain a broadband or Ethernet connection from your service provider.
Step 2 Remove the yellow Ethernet cables, light blue console cable, and product
documentation from the Open Me First bag. Remove the desktop power supply
and the black power cord from the accessory kit. Gather the Ethernet devices to
be connected to the router: hub, servers, workstations, or PCs.
Step 3 If you plan to configure the software using IOS commands via the console port,
provide a terminal or PC to connect to the console port.
Step 4 If you plan to use the cable-lock feature, provide a Kensington or equivalent
locking cable.
