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 power cords) 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.

2
Temperature and humidity
Maintain temperature and humidity in the equipment room at acceptable levels.
•Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, 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
Temperature Humidity
0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°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.
Table 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (particles/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.
Table 3 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room
Gas Max. (mg/m3)
SO20.2
H2S 0.006
NH30.05
Cl20.01
NO20.04
Cl20.01
Cooling system
To ensure good ventilation, the following requirements must be met:
•The air inlet and outlet vents are not blocked, and leave at least 100 mm (3.94 in) of clearance.
•The installation site has a good cooling system.

3
ESD prevention
CAUTION:
Check the resistance of the ESD wrist strap for safety. The resistance reading must be in the range
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 clothing when touching a circuit board or transceiver
module.
The router does not supply an ESD wrist strap. Prepare an ESD wrist strap 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 keep 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 grounding terminal.
5. Make sure the rack is correctly grounded.
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.
