1 Preparing for installation
H3C MSR600 router series has one model: MSR610.
Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before
installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
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 router and installation tools away from walk areas.
•
Place the router in a dry and flat location and make sure anti-slip measures are in place.
•
Remove all external interface cables and power cords before moving the router.
Electricity safety
•
Locate the power switch of the power source before installation. Shut off the power
immediately if an accident occurs.
•
Make sure the router is reliably grounded.
•
Connect the interface cables correctly.
•
Use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
•
Always make sure the power has been disconnected during installation or replacement.
ESD prevention
WARNING
!
Check the resistance of the ESD wrist strap for safety. The
resistance reading should be in the
range of 1 to 10 megohm (Mohm) between a human body and the ground.
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines:
•
Make sure the router and the floor are reliably grounded.
•
Keep the equipment room clean to reduce the negative effects of dusts and particles.
•
Maintain the humidity and temperature levels in the acceptable range.
•
Always wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is
reliably grounded.

1-2
No ESD wrist strap is provided with the router. Prepare it yourself.
To attach an ESD wrist strap:
1. Wear the wrist strap on your wrist.
2. Lock the wrist strap tight around your wrist to maintain good contact with the skin.
3. Secure the wrist strap lock and the alligator clip lock together.
4. Attach the alligator clip to the rack or workbench where the router is installed.
Examining the installation site
The router can only be used indoors. To ensure correct operation and a long lifespan for your
router, the installation site must meet the requirements in this section.
Temperature and humidity
Maintain the temperature and humidity in the equipment room as described in Table1-1.
•
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 bring problems
including loose mounting screws and circuit failure.
•
High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the
reliability and lifespan of the router.
Table1-1 Temperature/humidity requirements in the equipment room
Item
Requirement
Operating temperature 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)
Operating 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, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst
case, electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.
Table1-2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance
Concentration limit (particles/m
3
)
Dust particles ≤ 3 x 104
(No visible dust on the tabletop in three days)
NOTE:
Dust diameter ≥ 5 µm
The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion
and premature aging of components, as shown in Table1-3.

Gas
Maximum concentration (mg/m

H2S 0.006
NH30.05
NO20.04

Cooling
The router uses passive cooling. For better heat dissipation and cooling of the router, follow these
guidelines:
•
Keep the air vents unblocked. Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) around the
air vents.
•
Make sure the installation site has a good ventilation system.
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, perform the following tasks:
•
Take measures against interference from the power grid.
•
Do not use the grounding equipment of 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 protect the router from lightning, follow these guidelines:
•
Make sure the router is reliably grounded by using a grounding cable.
•
Make sure the power receptacle is reliably grounded.
•
Install a lightning protector at each power input end.

Figure2-2 Mounting the router on a workbench
Mounting the router on a wall
1. Mark two screw hole locations on the wall. Make sure the holes are level and the distance
between the two holes is 152 mm (5.98 in).
2. Drill holes with a minimum depth of 22 mm (0.87 in) in the marked locations.
3. Hammer an anchor into each hole until the anchor is flush with the wall.
4. Drive a screw into each anchor and make sure the screw protrudes a minimum of 1.5 mm
(0.06 in) from the wall.
5. Hang the router on the screws.
Position the router so the network interfaces face downwards, and the sides with ventilation
openings are perpendicular to the ground, as shown in Figure2-3.

Figure2-3 Wall-mounting the router
Installing the router in a rack
CAUTION:
The mounting brackets can support only the weight of
the router. Do not place objects on the
router.
No mounting brackets or screws are provided with the router. Prepare them yourself as required.
To install the router in a rack:
1. Use a front mounting bracket to mark the cage nut installation holes in the front rack posts,
and then install cage nuts into the marked square holes. See Figure2-4.

3. Use M6 screws to attach the mounting brackets on the router to the front rack posts, as
shown in Figure2-6.
Figure2-6 Securing the router to the rack

2-6
Grounding the router
CAUTION:
•
Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
When you install and use the router, first ground the router reliably.
•Ensure a minimum resistance of 5 ohms between the router and the ground.
To ground the router:
1. Remove the grounding screw from the grounding hole in the chassis.
2. Use the grounding screw to attach the ring terminal of the grounding cable to the grounding
hole.
3. Use a screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw.
4. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip.
Figure2-7 Connecting the grounding cable to the router
Connecting Ethernet interface cables
1. Connect one end of the cable to an Ethernet port on the router.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on a host.
3. Examine the port LEDs on the router. For more information about the LEDs, see H3C
MSR600 Router Series Hardware Information and Specifications.

terminal parameters
Connecting the console cable
CAUTION:
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. To connect a PC to an operating
router, first
connect the PC end. To disconnect a PC from an operating router, first disconnect the router end.
To connect the console cable:
1. Select a configuration terminal, which can be an ASCII terminal with an RS-232 serial port or
a PC. (A PC is more commonly used.)
2. Connect the DB-9 connector (female) of the console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the
configuration terminal and the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the router.

2-8
Figure2-9 Connecting the console cable
Setting configuration terminal parameters
To access the device from the console port, you must run a terminal emulator program
(HyperTerminal, PuTTY, or Tera Term) on the configuration terminal. For information about using a
terminal emulator program, see the program's user guide.
The following are the required terminal settings:
•
Baud rate—9600.
•
Data bits—8.
•
Stop bits—1.
•
Parity—None.
•
Flow control—None.
Connecting the power adapter
CAUTION:
To avoid power adapter damage, use the power adapter provided with the router.
To connect the power adapter:
1. Make sure the router is reliably grounded.Connect the DC output plug of the power adapter to
the power adapter receptacle on the router.
2. Connect the power adapter to the AC receptacle.
