Preparing for installation
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.
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.
•Use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
•Do not work alone when the router has power. Do not touch any power plug when it is
connected.
•Always make sure the power has been disconnected during installation or replacement.
Laser safety
WARNING!
•Do not stare into any fiber port when the router has power. The laser light emitted from the
optical fiber might hurt your eyes.
•Use fiber test equipment, rather than a microscope or magnifier to observe an operating fiber
connector or port when you test link connectivity or system parameters.
The routers are Class 1 laser devices.
When you connect an optical fiber, follow these guidelines:
•Some interface modules on the router provide shielded covers for the fiber ports (such as SFP
ports). Before using these fiber ports, remove the shielded covers. Keep the shielded covers
secure. When the fiber ports are not in use, install the shielded covers.
•Fiber connectors are fitted with dust caps. Keep the dust caps secure when the fiber connectors
are in use. Install dust caps when the fiber connectors are not in use to avoid damage to their
end face. Replace the dust cap if it is loose or polluted.
•Before connecting an optical fiber, use dust free paper and absolute alcohol to clean the end
face of the two fiber connectors. You can brush the end faces only in one direction.
•The radius of a fiber must be not less than 10 cm (3.94 in).

2
•To pass a fiber through a metallic board hole, make sure the fiber has protective covering and
the hole has a smooth and fully filleted surface. (The filleting radius must be not less than 2 mm,
or 0.08 in.)
•To bend a fiber along the acute side of mechanical parts, make sure the fiber has protective
covering..
Moving the router
WARNING!
Do not hold the handle of a fan tray or power supply, the handle of the rear cover of the chassis, or
the air vents of chassis, to move the router. Any attempt to carry the router with these parts might
cause equipment damage or bodily injury.
When you move a router, follow these guidelines:
•Lift and put down the chassis slowly and do not move it suddenly.
•When you move a heavy router or multiple routers, use a pallet jack.
•Before moving the router, turn off the power switch and remove all cables, USB devices, and
mounting brackets.
•If the router needs to be moved over a long distance, remove all field replacement units (FRUs),
such as HIMs/MIMs, put them separately in anti-static bags, and install the filler panels supplied
with the router.
•If the router needs to be moved over a short distance, make sure all FRUs are securely seated
in slots and the screws are fastened.
•Make sure the accessories of the router are not lost or damaged when moving 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.
ESD prevention
CAUTION:
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 rack are reliably grounded.
•Make sure an anti-static floor is installed and 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 and ESD cloth when touching a circuit board or transceiver
module.
•Place the removed CF card or LPU with the electronic components facing upward on an
antistatic workbench, or put it into an antistatic bag.
•Touch only the edges when you observe or move a removed CF card or LPU. Do not touch the
electronic components.
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
3. Insert the ESD plug into the ESD socket.
4. Make sure the rack is reliably grounded.

Examining the installation site
The routers 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.
Weight support
Make sure the floor can support the total weight of the router and accessories (such as the rack and
HIMs/MIMs). For the weight of the router and accessories, see "Appendix A Chassis views and
technical specifications."
Temperature and humidity
Maintain temperature and humidity levels 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 introduce problems
such as loose screws and circuit failure.
•High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the
reliability and lifespan of the switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of the router, see Table 1 and Table 2.

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 system
Fan trays are hot swappable and support automatic fan speed adjustment. To ensure good
ventilation, the following requirements must be met:
•Leave a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in) at the inlet and outlet air vents.
•The installation site has a good cooling system.
Figure 2 Airflow through the HSR6804 chassis
NOTE:
An HSR6802 router uses the same airflow system as an HSR6804 router.

Figure 3 Airflow through the HSR6808 chassis
EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch 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 switch 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. For how to connect the
grounding cable, see "Grounding the router."

7
•Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is reliably grounded.
•Install a lightning arrester at the input end of the power supply to enhance the lightning
protection capability of the power supply.
•Install a special lightning arrester at the input end of outdoor signal lines (for example, E1 line)
to which interface modules of the router are connected to enhance the lightning protection
capability.
Space
To provide appropriate spacing, follow these guidelines:
•Because the router is heavy, install the router to the rack with a rack shelf.
•For ease of installation and maintenance, reserve a minimum clearance of 1 m (3.28 ft)
between the rack and walls or other devices.
•Verify that the headroom in the equipment room is no less than 3 m (9.84 ft), and an
appropriately sized air conditioner is provided.
Power supply
To provide safe power supplies, follow these guidelines:
•Make sure the power supply system at the installation site is stable and meets the requirements
of the power supplies, including the rated input voltage.
•Select power supplies based on the power consumption of the cards and fan trays. For more
information about system power consumption and technical specifications of power supplies,
see "Power consumption," and "Power supplies."

Installing power supplies
The HSR6802 and HSR6804 routers each provide two power supply slots. An HSR6808 router
provides four power supply slots. Slots except the Slot 1 (PWR1) are provided with filler panels. The
routers support both AC (PSR650-A and PSR1200-A) and DC (PSR650-D and PSR1200-D) power
supplies, but AC and DC power supplies cannot work together. The power supplies in use must be of
the same specification.
Before you install a power supply, make sure the power switch is off and the grounding cable is
reliably grounded.
The procedures for installing power supplies are the same. This section uses a PSR650-A as an
example.
To install a power supply:
1. Face the front of the router and locate the slot to be used.
2. Loosen the captive screws with a Phillips screwdriver to remove the filler panel from the slot.
Keep the removed filler panel for future use.
Skip this step if you install the power supply in the PWR1 slot.
3. Holding the handle of the power supply with one hand and supporting the bottom of the power
supply with the other hand, insert the power supply slowly along the slide rails until it makes
close contact with the backplane.
4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the captive screws on the two sides of the power supply.
For more information about the power supply LED description, see "Power supply LEDs."
