Warning
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry
(including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when
connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal
object to the terminals. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco 800 Series and SOHO
Series Routers document that came with the router.)
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds
(4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top of the router could damage the chassis.
Caution There are no field-replaceable parts inside the router. Do not open the router
enclosure to replace parts.
Caution To prevent damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift of tilt the chassis by the
plastic panel on the front. Always hold the chassis by the metal body.
Connecting the Router to Your Local Network
The Cisco 815 integrated services router is connected to your local Ethernet
network through the yellow 10/100 Ethernet port. You must provide the following
items for this connection:
• A straight-through, RJ-45-to-RJ-45, Ethernet cable
• A 10/100-Mbps Ethernet hub or switch
