Setting Up the Chassis

Note Cisco 2800 series routers are normally ordered with modules and interface cards preinstalled. Before you
remove or install any modules or interface cards, see the documents that accompany those items or to
the online Cisco 2800 series hardware installation documentation at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_mod/2800/hw/index.htm
For module and interface card compatibility information, see the data sheet for each module and
interface card.
Warning Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.
Statement 1
You can set any Cisco 2800 series router on a desktop or install it in a rack. A Cisco 2811 router can also

To prevent damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis by the plastic panel on the front.
Caution
Always hold the chassis by the metal body.
Rack-Mounting the Chassis
If you are planning to rack-mount the router, do so before making network and power connections. If
you need to install network modules or interface cards, you can do so either before or after
rack-mounting the router. Ideally, you would install modules and interface cards when you have the best
access to the rear panel of the router. Internal modules, such as advanced integration modules (AIMs) or
packet voice data modules (PVDMs), should be installed prior to rack-mounting.
