Ethernet Devices

Identify the Ethernet devices that you will connect to the router: hub, servers, and workstations or PCs. Ensure
that each device has a network interface card (NIC) for connecting to Ethernet ports.
If you plan to configure the software using Cisco IOS commands through the console port, provide an ASCII
terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation software to connect to the console port.
Installing the Router
This section describes how to install the Cisco IR829. This router can be installed on a table top or other flat
horizontal surface mounted on a wall or DIN rail.
The recommended clearance when horizontally mounted is 1.5 inches on both sides for floor mount bracket
clearance and 2 inches on top. Top clearance is not required but stacking heat-dissipating objects on top of
the router is not allowed. I/O side clearance is needed as it is required to access the cable connections. Clearance
is not required on the backside (opposite side from I/O face) unless DIN rail mounting is required. Clearance
is required to attach and mount the DIN rail bracket. The same clearances apply when mounted vertically.
