Prepare for Router Installation
Before you install the Cisco 1100 Series Integrated Services Routers, you must prepare your site for the
installation. This chapter provides pre-installation information, such as recommendations and requirements
that should be considered before installing your router.
See the following sections to prepare for installation:
Ethernet Connections
The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The routers support the following Ethernet
implementations:
• 1000BASE-T—1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).
• 100BASE-T—100 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).
• 10BASE-T—10 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).
See the Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications document at Cisco.com for information about
Ethernet cables, connectors, and pinouts.
RequiredToolsandEquipmentforInstallationandMaintenance
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, and when you remove the cover (when you upgrade the memory
or other components)
• Screws that fit your 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)
