Connecting
Interface
Cables
Use
all
available
cable
strain-relief
systems
Most
interfaces
provide
some
type of
strain
relief
to
prevent
the cables
from
being
accidentally
disconnected
Among
these
types
of
strain
relief
are the
slide
fasteners
on
Ethernet
cables
the
cable
retention
clip
on
the
power
supply
cord and
the screw-type
fasteners
on
serial
cables
The
cable
management
brackets
can
also
help
to
provide
strain
relief
especially
when
you
use
cable
ties to
secure
the cables
to
the brackets
Use
all
strain-relief
devices
provided
to
prevent
potential
problems
caused
by
inadvertent
cable
disconnection
Verify proper interface
cabling
before
starting
the
system
Before
applying
power
to
the
system
prevent
unnecessary
problems
or
component
damage
by
double-checking
your
cabling
Verify
all
cabling
limitations
before
applying
power
to
the
system
When
setting
up
your
system you must
consider
number
of factors
related
to
the cabling
required
for
your connections
For example
when
using
EIA/TIA-232
connections
be aware
of
the distance
and
electromagnetic
interference
limitations
For
cabling
distances
and
other
requirements
refer
to
the section
Site Requirements
in
the chapter
Preparing
for Installation
Check
the
power
cord
and power
supply
for compatibility with
your power
service
Check
the
labels
on
the
equipment
and
ensure
that
the
power
service
at
your
site
is
suitable
for
the chassis
you
are connecting
If
you
are not
sure
refer
to
the
section
AC
and
DC
Power
in
the chapter
Preparing
for
Installation
Warning
voltage
mismatch
can
cause
equipment
damage
and
may
pose
fire
hazard
If
the
voltage
indicated
on
the
label
is different
from
the source
power
voltage
do
not connect
the chassis
to
that
power
source
Tools and
Equipment
Have
the following
tools
on hand
to
secure
interface
cables
and
complete
the installation

The
sections
that
follow
provide
illustrations
of the connections
between
the router
interface
ports
and
your
networks
Network
interface
equipment
such
as
Ethernet
transceivers
MAUs
and
CSUs
should
be
available
and
in place
already
If
they
are
not
refer
to
the section
Preparing
Network
Connections
in
the chapter
Preparing
for Installation
for descriptions
of the
equipment
you need
for each
