Installing the Cisco 1005 2-5
Setting the Router on a Desktop
• One shielded interface cable (not provided) for the WAN port (DB-60 serial)
• Channel service unit/digital service unit (CSU/DSU) or modem (synchronous or
asynchronous) (not provided) for access to a WAN
Note To ensure agency compliance, use a shielded serial transition cable with your
Cisco 1005 router when connecting to a CSU/DSU or modem.
The router can be placed on any flat surface or installed in any orientation, such as upside
down or on a vertical surface. It is designed to allow trouble-free operation without cooling
fans, special equipment closets, or racks.
To prevent the cables from disconnecting from the chassis, install your router in a manner
that minimizes strain on the cables.
Setting the Router on a Desktop
To set the router on a desktop, shelf, or other flat, secure surface, perform the following
steps:
Step 1 Confirm that the plastic “feet” on the bottom of the router are turned so that they
are completely under the unit.
Step 2 Set the router on the surface on which you are going to install it, but place it so that
you have access to the rear panel. This orientation will allow you to install the
cables in the connectors on the rear panel.
Caution If you place the router on a desk or table, do not place anything on top of it that
could restrict airflow around the router or weighs in excess of 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Excessive
weight on top of the router could cause damage.
