Warning
The ports labeled "Ethernet," "10BaseT," "Token Ring," "Console," and "AUX" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the BRI circuits are treated like
telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.
Statement 22
Before beginning this router installation, read the Cisco 7300 Series Internet Routers Regulatory Compliance and Safety
Information.
Site Preparation and Unpacking
• Lift the router safely out of the packing container.
• Ensure the power service at the site is suitable for the router you are installing.
• Check the packing slip to ensure that all the proper components are present.
• Locate and have accessible the Site Log for recording information about this installation.
Tools and Parts
Use the following list of tools and parts as a checklist for preparing for installing the Cisco 7301 router:
• ESD-preventative wrist strap
• Power cord and AC power cable-retention clip
• Appropriate cables to connect the router to the network and to the console terminal
• One serial port adapter cable for each serial port to connect the port with the remote device or network Ethernet transceiver
• Data service unit (DSU) to connect each serial port to an external network
• Tape measure and level
• Screwdrivers: Number 2 Phillips screwdriver and 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Grounding lug and wires:
A grounding lug with two number-10 screw holes with a 0.63-inch (16.002-mm) spacing between them
–
A wire receptacle large enough to accept a 6-AWG multistrand, copper wire
–
Two Phillips machine screws with locking washers—M5 (metric), 0.031-inch (.08-mm) pitch, 0.315-inch (8-mm) length
–
A crimping tool to fit the grounding lug wire receptacle
–
One grounding wire—6-AWG, 0.162-inch (4.115-mm) diameter, with approximately 0.108-inch (2.743-mm)
–
insulation, for a total wire diameter of approximately 0.27 inches (6.858 mm). The wire length depends on your router
location and site environment.
• The rack-mount and cable-management kit:
–
Two rack-mount brackets and one cable-management bracket
Screws: Four 12-24 x 0.5-inch screws, four 8-18 x .37-inch screws for use with a 19-inch rack, four 8 x .375-inch screws
–
for use in a 21–23-inch rack, and one M4 x 20-mm screw
• T1 channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) that converts the High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) synchronous
serial data stream into a T1 data stream with the correct framing and ones density to connect a serial port to a T1 network.
(Some telephone systems require a minimum number of 1 bits per time unit in a data stream, called ones density.) Several
T1 CSU/DSU devices are available as additional equipment, and most provide a V.35, EIA/TIA-449, or EIA-530 electrical
interface.
