Preparing for installation
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 external power switch in the room before installation. Shut off the power immediately
if an accident occurs.
•Make sure the router is reliably grounded.
•Do not remove and install the chassis cover when the router is operating.
•Connect the interface cables correctly.
•Use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
•Do not work alone when the router has power
•Always make sure the power has been disconnected during installation or replacement.
ESD prevention
W
ARNING!
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.

2
•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.
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 grounding screw on the router.
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 Table 1.
•Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical
property change of materials, and metal corrosion.
•Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems
including loose captive screws and circuit failure.
•High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the
reliability and lifespan of the router.
Table 1 Temperature/humidity requirements in the equipment room
Tem
p
erature Relative humidit
y
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) 5% to 90%, 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.

Cooling
•Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (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:
•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.
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 AC power receptacle is reliably grounded.
•Install a lightning protector at each power input end.
