Preparing for installation
This section describes preparations for installing a CR16000-F router.
Safety recommendations
To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read all safety recommendations carefully
before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
General safety recommendations
•
Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.
•
Do not place the router on a moist area, and avoid liquid flowing into the router.
•
Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
•
Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
•
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (for example, necklace) or any other things that could get
caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the router.
Electricity safety
•
Clear the work area of possible electricity hazards, such as ungrounded power extension
cables, missing safety grounds, and wet floors.
•
Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation so you can quickly shut
power off when an electrical accident occurs.
•
Remove all external cables, including power cords, before moving the chassis.
•
Do not work alone when the router has power.
•
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
Moving safety
WARNING
!
•
Hold the chassis handles firmly to move the router.
•
Do not hold the handle of a fan tray or power supply,
air vents, or the handle on the real panel to
move the router. Doing so might cause equipment damage or even bodily injury.
The router is heavy and large. When you move the router, follow these guidelines:
•
Remove all external cables (including power cords), cards, fan trays, and power supplies before
moving the chassis.
•
Moving the chassis requires a minimum of two people, and you can use a mechanical lift as
needed.
•
Lift and put down the chassis slowly and never move suddenly.
ESD prevention
To prevent the electric component from being damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow
these guidelines:

2
•
Ground the router correctly. For how to ground your router, see "Grounding the router."
•
Always wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is correctly grounded when installing FRUs.
For how to use an ESD wrist strap, see "Attaching an ESD wrist strap."
•
Hold a PCB by its edges. Do not touch any electronic components or printed circuit.
•
Put cards away in ESD bags for future use.
Laser safety
WARNING
!
Disconnected optical fibers or
transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments when the router is operating.
Examining the installation site
The router must be used indoors. To ensure correct operation and long service life of your router, the
installation site must meet the requirements in this section.
Weight support
Make sure the floor can support the total weight of the rack, chassis, cards, power supplies, and all
other components. Additionally, the floor loading plan must also consider system expansion, such as
adding more cards. For more information, see H3C CR16000-F Router Series Hardware Information
and Specifications.
Temperature
CAUTION:
If condensation appears on the chassis when you move it to a high
-temperature environment, dry
the chassis before powering it on to avoid short circuits.
To ensure correct operation of the router, make sure the room temperature meets the requirements
in Table 1.
Table 1 Temperature requirements
Temperature Range
Operating temperature 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)
Storage temperature –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to +158°F)
Humidity
Maintain appropriate humidity in your equipment room, as described in Table 2.
•
Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical
property change of materials, and metal corrosion.
•
Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and cause problems
including loose mounting screws and circuit failure.

3
Table 2 Humidity requirements
Humidity Range
Operating humidity 10% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing
Storage humidity 5% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing
Cleanliness
Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of
metal components and contact points. In the worst case, electrostatic adsorption can cause
communication failure.
Table 3 Dust concentration limits in the equipment room
Substance Particle diameter Concentration limit
Dust particles ≥ 0.5 µm ≤ 1.8 × 107particles/m3
Corrosive gases can accelerate corrosion and aging of components. Make sure the corrosive gases
in the equipment room do not exceed the concentration limits as shown in Table 4.
Table 4 Corrosive gas concentration limits in the equipment room
Gas Average concentration (mg/m3) Maximum concentration (mg/m3)
SO20.3 1.0
H2S 0.1 0.5
Cl20.1 0.3
HCI 0.1 0.5
HF 0.01 0.03
NH31.0 3.0
O30.05 0.1
NOX0.5 1.0
EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the router and application
system, adversely affect the router in the following ways:
•
A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.
•
Inductance coupling.
•
Electromagnetic wave radiation.
•
Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.
To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:
•
If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE)
to filter interference from the power grid.
•
Keep the router far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.
•
Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.

4
•
To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning
strikes, route interface cables only indoors.
Grounding
Using a good grounding system to protect your router against lightning shocks, interferences, and
ESD is essential to the operating reliability of your router. For more information about grounding the
router, see "Grounding the router."
Make sure the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm.
Power
Perform the following tasks to meet the power requirements:
1. Calculate the system power consumption.
The system power consumption varies by card type and density. For more information about
system power consumption calculation, see H3C CR16000-F Router Series Hardware
Information and Specifications.
2. Select power supplies and identity the number of power supplies.
The total maximum output power of all power supplies must be higher than the system power
consumption. For more information about available power supplies, see H3C CR16000-F
Router Series Hardware Information and Specifications.
3. Verify that the power system at the installation site meets the requirements of the power
supplies, including the input method and rated input voltage.
Cooling
For heat dissipation, make sure the following requirements are met:
•
A minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in) is reserved around the inlet and outlet air vents.
•
The rack for the router has a good cooling system.
•
The installation site has a good cooling system.

Space
For easy installation and maintenance, follow these space requirements:
•
Reserve a minimum clearance of 1 m (3.28 ft) between the rack and walls or other devices.
•
For heat dissipation, make sure the headroom in the equipment room is not less than 3 m (9.84
ft).
•
Make sure the rack has enough space to accommodate the router. See Table 5 for rack
requirements. For more information about chassis dimensions, see H3C CR16000-F Router
Series Hardware Information and Specifications.
