Preparing for installation
Safety recommendations
Safety symbols
When reading this document, note the following symbols:
WARNING means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or
followed can result in personal injury.
CAUTION means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or
followed can result in data loss, data corruption, or damage to hardware or software.
General safety recommendations
•Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
•Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
•Unplug all the external cables (including the power cord) before moving the chassis.
Electricity safety
•Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut the power off at once in
case accident occurs. Disconnect the power cord of the router if necessary.
•Make sure the router is correctly grounded.
•Do not open or close the chassis cover when the router is powered on.
•Correctly connect the interface cables of the router.
•Use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
•Do not work alone when the router has power.
•Always make sure the power has been disconnected during the installation and replacement
procedures.
Examining the installation site
The router can only be used indoors. To make sure the router operates correctly and to prolong its service
lifetime, the installation site must meet the following requirements.
Temperature and humidity
You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room.

2
•Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical
property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts.
•Lasting low relative humidity is likely to result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and even
ESD, which causes the circuits to fail.
•A high temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates the aging of insulation
materials and significantly lowers reliability and service life of the router.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of the router, see Table 1.
Table 1 Temperature and humidity requirements
Tem
p
erature Humidit
y
0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) 5% to 90% (noncondensing)
Cleanness
Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal
components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case,
electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.
Table 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (
p
articles/m3)
Dust particles ≤3 x 104
(No visible dust on desk in three days.)
NOTE:
Dust particle diameter ≥5 μm
The equipment room must also meet limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components, as shown in Table 3.

SO20.2

Cooling system
The router adopts left to right airflow for heat dissipation.

Figure 1 Airflow through the chassis
To ensure good ventilation, the following requirements must be met:
•The inlet and outlet air vents are not blocked, and leave at least 10 cm (3.94 in) of clearance.
•The installation site has a good cooling system.
ESD prevention
CAUTION:
Check the resistance of the ESD wrist strap for safety. The resistance readin
g
should be in the ran
g
e of 1
to 10 megohm (Mohm) between human body and the ground.
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines:
•Make sure the router and the floor are correctly grounded.
•Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room.
•Maintain the humidity and temperature at acceptable levels.
•Always wear an ESD wrist strap and ESD cloth when touching a circuit board or transceiver module.
The router does not supply an ESD wrist wrap. Prepare an ESD wrist wrap yourself.
•Place the removed interface module on an antistatic workbench, with the face upward, or put it into
an antistatic bag.
•Touch only the edges, instead of electronic components when you observe or move a removed
interface module.
To attach an ESD wrist strap:
1. Wear the wrist strap on your wrist.
2. Lock the wrist strap tight around your wrist to keep good contact with the skin.
3. Insert the ESD plug into the ESD socket.
4. Make sure the rack is correctly grounded.

4
EMI
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) might be coupled from the source to the router through the following
coupling mechanisms:
•Capacitive coupling
•Inductive coupling
•Radiative coupling
•Common impedance coupling
•Conductive coupling
To prevent EMI, take the following actions:
•Take measures against interference from the power grid.
•Do not use the router together with the grounding equipment or lightning-prevention equipment of
power equipment, and keep the router far away from them.
•Keep the router far away from high-power radio launchers, radars, and equipment with high
frequency or high current.
•Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightning protection
To better protect the router from lightning, do as follows:
•Make sure the grounding cable of the chassis is correctly grounded.
•Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is correctly grounded.
•Install a lightning arrester at the input end of the power supply to enhance the lightning protection
capability of the power supply.
•Install a special lightning arrester at the input end of outdoor signal lines (for example, E1/T1 line)
to which interface modules of the router are connected to enhance the lightning protection
capability.
Rack-mounting
Before mounting the router in a rack, adhere to the following requirements:
•The rack is equipped with a good ventilation system.
•The rack is sturdy enough to support the router and its accessories.
•For heat dissipation and device maintenance, make sure the front and rear of the rack are at least
0.8 m (2.62 ft) away from walls or other devices, and the headroom in the equipment room is no
less than 3 m (9.84 ft).

To install the router in a rack:
1. Use a mounting bracket to mark the positions of cage nuts on the front rack posts, making sure the
cage nuts on the two front rack posts are at the same level.
Figure 7 Marking the positions of cage nuts
2. Insert one edge of a cage nut into the hole. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to compress the other edge
of the cage nut, and then push the cage nut fully into the hole.
