Preparing for installation
This chapter describes preparations for installing an SR8800-F router.
Safety recommendations
To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read the safety recommendations carefully
before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
General safety recommendations
•
Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.
•
Do not place the router on a moist area, and avoid liquid flowing into the router.
•
Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
•
Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
•
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (for example, necklace), or any other things that could get
caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the router.
Electricity safety
•
Clear the work area of possible hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables, missing
safety grounds, and wet floors.
•
Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut the power off at
once in case accident occurs.
•
Remove all external cables, including power cords, before moving the chassis.
•
Do not work alone when the router has power.
•
Always verify that the power has been disconnected.
Moving safety
WARNING
!
•
Hold the chassis handles firmly to move the router.
•
Do not hold the handle of a fan tray or power supply,
air vents, or the handle on the real panel to
move the router. Doing so might cause equipment damage or even bodily injury.
The router is heavy and large. When you move the router, follow these guidelines:
•
Remove all the external cables, including the power cords, before moving the router.
•
Use a minimum of two people to move the router, and use a mechanical lift if necessary.
•
Lift and put down the router slowly.
ESD prevention
To prevent the electric component from being damaged by the electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow
these guidelines:
•
Ground the router correctly. For how to ground your router, see "Grounding the router."

2
•
Always wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is correctly grounded when installing FRUs.
For how to use an ESD wrist strap, see "Attaching an ESD wrist strap."
•
Hold a PCB by its edges. Do not touch any electronic components or printed circuit.
•
Put cards in ESD bags for future use.
Laser safety
WARNING
!
•
The router is a Class 1 laser product.
•
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.
Examining the installation site
The router must be used indoors. To ensure correct operation of the router and to prolong its service
life, the installation site must meet the requirements in this section.
Weight support
Make sure the floor can support the total weight of the rack, chassis, cards, and power supplies, and
all other components. Additionally, the floor loading plan must cover system expansion, such as
adding more cards.
Temperature
CAUTION:
If condensation appears on the
router when you move it to a high-
temperature environment, dry the
router before powering it on to avoid short circuits.
To ensure the correct operation of the router, make sure the room temperature is in the range of 0°C
to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
Humidity
Maintain appropriate humidity in your equipment room, as described in Table 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 cause problems
including loose mounting screws and circuit failure.
Table 1 Humidity requirements
Humidity Range
Operating humidity 10% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing
Storage humidity 5% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing

Operating altitude
Table 2 Operating altitude requirements
Item Specifications
Operating altitude ≤4000 m (13123.36 ft) (available altitude)
≤3000 m (9842.52 ft) (certified altitude)
Cleanliness
Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of
metal components and contact points. In the worst case, electrostatic adsorption can cause
communication failure.
Table 3 Dust concentration limits in the equipment room
Substance Particle diameter Concentration limit
Dust particles ≥ 0.5 µm ≤ 1.8 × 107particles/m3
Corrosive gases can accelerate corrosion and aging of components. Make sure the corrosive gases
in the equipment room do not exceed the concentration limits as shown in Table 4.
Table 4 Corrosive gas concentration limits in the equipment room
Gas Average concentration (mg/m3) Maximum concentration (mg/m3)
SO20.3 1.0
H2S 0.1 0.5
Cl20.1 0.3
HCI 0.1 0.5
HF 0.01 0.03
NH31.0 3.0
O30.05 0.1
NOX0.5 1.0
EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the router and application
system, adversely affect the router in the following ways:
•
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.

4
•
Keep the router far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices to make sure the EMI levels do not exceed the compliant range.
•
Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
Grounding
For the operating reliability of your router, follow these guidelines:
•
Use a good grounding system to protect your router against lightning shocks, interferences, and
ESD.
•
Make sure the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm.
For more information about grounding the routers, see "Grounding the router."
Power
Perform the following tasks to meet the power requirements:
1. Calculate the system power consumption
The system power consumption varies by card type, density, and fan tray power consumption.
For more information about system power consumption calculation, see "Module power
consumption and total power consumption."
2. Select power supplies and determine the number of power supplies.
The total maximum output power of all power supplies must be higher than the system power
consumption. For more information about available power supplies, see "Power supplies."
3. Verify that the power system at the installation site meets the requirements of the power
supplies, including the input method and rated input voltage.
Cooling
The airflow designs for all SR8800-F router models are the same.
For heat dissipation, make sure the following requirements are met:
•
A minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in) is reserved at the inlet air vents and outlet air vents.
•
The rack for the router has a good cooling system.
•
The installation site has a good cooling system.
