Preventing Router Damage Chapter 2 Installation Preventing Router Damage Use the following guidelines when connecting devices to your router: • Connect the color-coded cables supplied by Cisco Systems to the color-coded ports on the back panel. • If you must supply your own cable, see the "Cabling Specifications" section in Appendix B, "Specifications and Cables." If this appendix does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we strongly recommend ordering the cable from Cisco Systems. • If the symbol of suitability ( ) appears above a port, you can connect the port directly to a public network that follows the European Union standards. Warning If the symbol of suitability with an overlaid cross ( ) appears above a port, you must not connect the port to a public network that follows the European Union standards. Connecting the port to this type of public network can cause severe injury or damage your router. Unpacking Your Router Table 2-1 lists the items that come with your router.
