Caution When you install an AIM, always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and ensure that it makes good
contact with your skin. Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal part of the chassis.
Caution Handle AIMs by the edges only. AIMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by
mishandling.
Accessory Kit to Use
Some AIMs are provided with multiple accessory kits that contain different configurations of mounting
hardware. Mounting hardware for the Cisco 1805 cable router consists of two machine thread metal
standoffs, two machine thread metal screws, and one plastic standoff.
To install an AIM module on the Cisco 1805 cable router, use the hardware in mounting kit 69-1316-01.
Installation Procedure
To install the AIM, perform the following steps. You need a number 2 Phillips screwdriver or flat-head
screwdriver to complete this procedure.
Step 1 Find the metal standoff attachment locations on the system board near the AIM connector, indicated by
a star pattern, as shown in Figure 8-7.

Step 2
Install the two metal standoffs from the accessory kit into the system board in the metal standoff
attachment locations. Use a 1/4-inch nut driver to tighten the standoffs. Locations for AIM standoffs are
denoted by a star pattern around the standoff mounting holes.
Caution Make sure that the standoffs are installed straight. Tighten them gently but firmly. The shoulder must be
seated tightly against the system board.
