Preventing Damage to the Router
To prevent damage to your router, follow these guidelines when connecting devices to your router:
• Turn off power to the devices and to the router until all connections are completed.
Caution Do not turn on the devices until after you have completed all connections to the router.
• If you must supply your own cable, see the “Cisco 860, 880, 890 Series” section on page A-11 for
cabling specifications. If this appendix does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we
strongly recommend ordering the cable from Cisco.
Connecting a PC, Server, or Workstation
To connect a PC (or other Ethernet devices) to an Ethernet switch port, follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to an Ethernet switch port on the router. See Figure 3-1.
