Setting Up the Chassis Setting Up the Chassis You can set the chassis on a desktop, install it in a rack, or mount it on a wall or other flat surface. Use the procedure in this section that best fits the needs of your network. Setting the Chassis on a Desktop Before setting the router on a desktop, shelf, or other flat, secure surface, perform the following steps to install the rubber feet: Step 1 Locate the rubber feet on the black adhesive strip that shipped with the chassis. (See Figure 3-1.
Setting Up the Chassis Figure 3-2 Installing the Rubber Feet H4795 Fan Step 4 Place the router right-side up on a flat, smooth, secure surface. Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top could damage the chassis. Caution Rack-Mounting the Chassis This section describes the procedures for rack-mounting the chassis.
Setting Up the Chassis Identifying the Brackets Bracket for use with a 19-inch rack Bracket for use with a 24-inch rack H4201 Figure 3-3 Attaching the Brackets To install the chassis in a rack with the front panel forward, attach the brackets as shown in Figure 3-4 or Figure 3-5. 19-Inch Bracket Installation—Front Panel Forward SERIES H1706 Figure 3-4 Note: The second bracket attaches to the other side of the chassis.
Setting Up the Chassis To install the chassis in a rack with the rear panel forward, attach the brackets as shown in Figure 3-6 or Figure 3-7. Figure 3-6 19-Inch Bracket Installation—Rear Panel Forward Input: 100-240VAC Freq: 50.60 Hz Current: 1.2-0.6A Watts: 40W H1704 1 0 Note: The second bracket attaches to the other side of the chassis. Figure 3-7 24-Inch Bracket Installation—Rear Panel Forward Input: 100-240VAC Freq: 50.60 Hz Current: 1.2-0.
Setting Up the Chassis To install the chassis in a center-mount telco rack, attach the brackets as shown in Figure 3-8 or Figure 3-9. Figure 3-8 Telco 19-Inch Bracket Installation—Rear Panel Forward Input: 100-240VAC Freq: 50.60 Hz Current: 1.2-0.6A Watts: 40W H1705 1 0 Note: The second bracket attaches to the other side of the chassis. The brackets can also be installed with the front panel forward. Figure 3-9 Telco 24-Inch Bracket Installation—Rear Panel Forward Input: 100-240VAC Freq: 50.
Setting Up the Chassis Installing in a Rack After the brackets are secured to the chassis, you can rack-mount the chassis. Using the screws you provide, attach the chassis to the rack as shown in Figure 3-10 or Figure 3-11. Figure 3-10 Attaching the Chassis to the 19-Inch Rack—Rear Panel Forward Input: 100-240VAC Freq: 50.60 Hz Current: 1.2-0.6A Watts: 40W 1 H1719 0 Figure 3-11 Note: The second bracket attaches to the rack at the other side of the chassis.
Setting Up the Chassis Wall-Mounting the Chassis Use the smaller brackets (for use with a 19-inch rack) to wall-mount the chassis. The smaller brackets provide the most stable position for the chassis. Take the following steps to wall-mount the chassis: Step 1 Attach the brackets as shown in Figure 3-12. Figure 3-12 Attaching the Wall-Mount Brackets Input: 100-240VAC Freq: 50/60 Hz Current: 1.2-0.

Connecting the DC Power Supply Connecting the DC Power Supply The Cisco 2524 router offers an optional direct current (DC) power supply (not available with the Cisco 2525 router). This section describes the DC power supply specifications and wiring. Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. (To see translated versions of the warning, refer to the appendix “Translated Safety Warnings.
Connecting the DC Power Supply Wiring the DC Power Supply If you ordered a Cisco 2524 router with a DC power supply, follow the directions in this section to wire the terminal block. Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.
Connecting the DC Power Supply Figure 3-14 DC Power Supply Connections Input: –40– –72V Current: 1.5 –1.
Connecting to the Network Warning When stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring terminations, such as closed-loop or spade-type with upturned lugs. These terminations should be the appropriate size for the wires and should clamp both the insulation and conductor. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the appendix “Translated Safety Warnings.”) Caution Do not overtorque the terminal block captive thumbscrew or terminal block contact screws. The recommended torque is 8.2 0.
Connecting to the Network You can connect the router to your Ethernet network in one of the following ways: • Use an Ethernet AUI cable to connect the Ethernet AUI port to an Ethernet transceiver. (See Figure 3-15.) • Use a straight-through 10BaseT cable to connect the 10BaseT port to a 10BaseT hub. (See Figure 3-16.) • Use a crossover 10BaseT cable to connect the 10BaseT port to a PC network interface card. (See Figure 3-17.

Connecting to the Network Connecting to a Token Ring Network If you have a Cisco 2524 router, you can connect the router to your Token Ring network in one of the following ways: • Use a shielded Token Ring lobe cable to connect the Token Ring port (DB-9) to a media attachment unit (MAU). To ensure agency compliance with electromagnetic emissions requirements (EMI), make sure the cable is shielded. (See Figure 3-18.) • Use a twisted-pair cable to connect the Token Ring port (RJ-45) to a Token Ring hub.

Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Connecting to the Network Take the following steps to connect the router to your WAN: Step 1 If you have a 2-wire switched 56-kbps module, use a straight-through RJ-11-to-RJ-11 cable to connect the RJ-11 port to an RJ-11 jack. (See Figure 3-20.
Connecting to the Network Step 2 If you have a 4-wire 56/64-kbps DSU/CSU module, use a straight-through RJ-48S-to-RJ-48S cable to connect the RJ-48S port to an RJ-48S jack. (See Figure 3-21.
Connecting to the Network Step 3 If you have a fractional T1/T1 DSU/CSU module, use a straight-through RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C cable to connect the RJ-48C port to an RJ-48C jack. (See Figure 3-22.
Connecting to the Network Step 4 If you have a synchronous serial module, use a serial transition cable to connect the synchronous serial port to a modem or DSU/CSU. (See Figure 3-23.)

Connecting to the Network Step 5 If you have an ISDN BRI module (without an integrated NT1 device), use a straight-through RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable to connect the ISDN BRI (RJ-45) port to an NT1 device. (See Figure 3-24.
Connecting to the Network Step 6 If you have an ISDN BRI module with an integrated NT1 device, use a straight-through RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable to connect the ISDN BRI (RJ-45) port to an RJ-45 or RJ-11 jack. (See Figure 3-25.
Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem You use the console terminal for local administrative access to the router. You can connect only a terminal to the console port. You can use the auxiliary port with a terminal or a modem for remote access to the router.

Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem Connecting a Modem to the Auxiliary Port Take the following steps to connect a modem to the auxiliary port on the router: Step 1 Connect a modem to the auxiliary port using an RJ-45 roll-over cable with an RJ-45-to-DB-25 or RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter. The adapter provided by Cisco Systems is labeled Modem. (See Figure 3-27.
