4ME Series Routers. Installation and Quick Start Guide
1ABSTRACT
MЕ Series routers are multifunctional devices with a high port density intended for use in provider
networks as aggregation routers and IP/MPLS network transport edge routers. Routers have a unified
software and management interfaces.
This guide provides instructions for connecting to the mains, factory configuration of the device, and
recommendations for initial setup of ME series routers. The guide is intended for technical personnel who
perform installation, initial configuration and commissioning of routers.

Cards to be installed into the rack are equipped with turning screws. To install a card into the slot
correctly, bottom and top screws should be simultaneously rotated clockwise until tight. Heads of screws
with a fully installed card should take a horizontal position.
Fabric and management cards (FMC) should be installed only in FMC0, FMC1 slots.
Line cards (LC) should be installed only in slots for line cards (slots are marked with
numbers).
Attempts to install FMCs in LC slots (and vice versa) will cause mechanical damage of
the device connectors.
To remove a card, simultaneously rotate bottom and top screws counter-clockwise. Heads of screws
should take a position with a slope of about 45 degrees.

3INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
This section describes the rack mounting procedure and power connection.
3.1. Support brackets mounting
ME5100 rev.X, ME5100S, ME5200S delivery package includes support brackets for rack installation
and mounting screws to fix brackets to the device case. To install the support brackets:
Figure 18 —Support brackets mounting
1. Align mounting holes in the support bracket with the corresponding holes in the device side
panel.
2. Use a screwdriver to screw the support bracket to the case.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second support bracket.
