Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, 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 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.
•Make sure the router has been reliably grounded.
•Do not open or close the chassis cover when the router is powered on.
•Use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
•If there are two power inputs, disconnect the two power inputs to power off the router.
•Do not work alone when the router has power.
•Always verify that the power has been disconnected.
2
Laser safety
WARNING!
•The router is a Class 1 laser device.
•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.
Router moving
CAUTION:
Do not hold the handle of the fan tray or power module, the handle on the rear cover of the chassis,
or the air vents of chassis to move the router. Doing so might cause equipment damage or even
bodily injury.
When moving the router, follow these guidelines:
•When moving the router, hold the handles at both sides of the chassis.
•Use at least two people to move the router.
•Move the router carefully.
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
•Cleanliness
•EMI
Temperature and humidity
Maintain temperature and humidity in the equipment room in an acceptable range.
•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 screws and circuit failure.
•High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the
reliability and lifespan of the router.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of the router, see Table 2 and Table 3.
Table 2 Temperature requirements
Item Temperature
Operating temperature 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)
Storage temperature –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to +158°F)

Item Altitude
Operating altitude –60 m to +4000 m (–196.85 to +13123.36 ft)
Storage altitude –60 m to +4500 m (–196.85 to +14763.78 ft)
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 5 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 strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion
and premature aging of components, as shown in Tabl e 6 .

SO20.2
H2S 0.006
NH30.05
Cl20.01

Cooling system
The router uses left to right airflow for heat dissipation.
To ensure good ventilation, the following requirements must be met:
•Leave a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) at the inlet and outlet air vents.
•The installation site has a good cooling system.

Figure 1 Airflow
ESD prevention
CAUTION:
Make sure the resistance reading between human body and the ground is in the range of 1 to 10
megohms (Mohms).
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), note the following guidelines:
•Make sure the router and the floor are reliably grounded.
•Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room.
•Maintain the humidity and temperature in the acceptable range.
•Always wear an ESD wrist strap when touching a circuit board or transceiver module.
•Place the removed memory module, CF card, or 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 observing or moving a removed
memory module, CF card, or interface module.
To attach the 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 wrist strap into the specially designed hole on the router chassis or attach it to
the grounding screw of the chassis with the alligator clips.
4. Make sure the rack is reliably grounded.

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.
Lightning protection
To protect the router from lightning, perform the following tasks:
•Make sure the grounding cable of the chassis is reliably grounded.
•Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is reliably grounded.
•Connect the AC power supply to a power strip with lightning protection to enhance the lightning
protection capability of the power supply.
6
•Install a surge protector 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.
NOTE:
For how to install a lightning protector and surge protector, see "Connecting the AC power supply to
a power strip with lightning protection" and "Installing a surge protector (optional)."
Space
For easy installation and maintenance, follow these space requirements:
•Reserve a minimum of 1 m (3.28 ft) of clearance 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 7 for rack
requirements. For more information about chassis dimensions, see "Appendix A Chassis views
and technical specifications."

•Prepare a 19-inch rack. For more information about how to install a rack, see the installation
guide provided with the rack.
•Make sure the rack is sturdy and securely grounded.
•Make sure there is sufficient clearance around the rack for heat dissipation and installation.
•Make sure there is no debris inside or around the rack.
•Move the router to a place near the rack.
IMPORTANT:
•To mount multiple devices in a rack, install the heavier equipment at the lower half of the rack.
•The SR6608 router is heavy. For rack stability, install it at a lowest possible position.
Installing the router in a 19-inch rack
This section uses an SR6604 as an example.
Attaching cage nuts to the rack
1. Determine where to install the router in the rack, and then install a rack shelf on the rack.
2. As shown in Figure 4, mark the positions of cage nuts on the front rack posts by using a front
mounting bracket.
Figure 4 Marking the positions of the cage nuts
3. As shown in Figure 5, attach the cage nuts to the marked positions on the rack posts.

Installing the cable management brackets
As shown in Figure 6, attach the cable management bracket to the left mounting bracket with screws
before attaching it to the router.
The SR6608-DS router is shipped with the cable management bracket attached to the left mounting
bracket. You do not need to install the cable management bracket separately for the SR6608-DS
router.
