Prepare the Chassis for Rack-Mounting
You can install the chassis in a rack or on a desktop. For a desktop installation, proceed to the next section, “Prepare the Chassis
for Desktop Use.”
Note Brackets and screws are included for attaching the brackets to the chassis. However, you need four additional
screws to install the chassis in a rack.
Step 1 Attach the brackets using one of the three methods shown below.
Step 2 Install the chassis in a rack.

Prepare the Chassis for Desktop Use
Attach the rubber feet before installing the chassis on a desktop.
Note Rubber feet are included.
Step 1 Locate the rubber feet on the black adhesive strip that shipped with the chassis.
Step 2 Place the Cisco AS5300 upside-down on a flat, smooth surface.
Step 3 Peel off the rubber feet from the black adhesive strip and place them adhesive-side down on the dotted circles at each
corner of the chassis bottom.
Step 4 Place the Cisco AS5300 right-side up on a flat, smooth, secure surface.
Caution Do no place anything that weighs more than 10 lb (4.5 kg) on top of the Cisco AS5300. Excessive weight
placed on top of the chassis could damage it.

Connect the Ethernet Port for LAN Access
You can connect the Cisco AS5300 to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet network.
You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the Cisco AS5300 to an Ethernet hub. This cable is not included.
Step 1 Connect an Ethernet cable to the 10BASE-T port or the 10/100BASE-T port, depending on whether your network is
10BASE-T or 100BASE-T.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet hub (not included).

Connect the T1/PRI Card for WAN Access
Warning
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that should be inaccessible to user contact. Do not
attempt to tamper with or open any public telephone operator (PTO)-provided equipment or connection hardware.
Any hardwired connection (other than by a nonremovable, connect-one-time-only plug) must be made only by PTO
staff or suitably trained engineers.
Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN
ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Warning
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or
ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end
away from the router first.
You can connect the Cisco AS5300 to a T1 or E1/PRI card for WAN access. If you have a E1/PRI card, go to the next procedure.
You need four straight-through RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cables to connect the T1/PRI card to a WAN. These cables are not included.
Note To identify a straight-through cable, hold the connectors side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wires are
in the same sequence at both ends of the cable.
Step 1 Connect one end of the straight-through RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable to the T1 port labeled 0 on the rear panel of the
Cisco AS5300.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the incoming T1 line (RJ-45 jack).
Step 3 Repeats Steps 1 and 2 to connect other cables to the remaining ports.
