4 Site Environment
Do not place this product in an environment with flammable or explosive gases, or smoke.
The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity. If the relative
humidity is high, use dehumidifiers or dehumidifying air conditioners.
The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that air vents on the equipment are not blocked.
Do not install the equipment in a dusty environment.
Leave at least 50 mm clearance at the rear and both sides of the chassis for heat dissipation.
If multiple routers are installed in a cabinet/rack, leave at least 1 U (44.45 mm) distance between each two
routers.
Ensure that the temperature and humidity at the installation site meet the router operation requirements. For
the specific requirements, see the Hardware Description for your router on the Huawei support website.
5 Installing the Router
Scenario 1: Desk Mounting
Scenario 2: Wall Mounting
The AR100/AR120/AR150/AR160/AR200 and AR1200 series routers can be desk-mounted.
Do not stack routers on top of or closely next to each other.
Some router models provide a security slot ( ) on the panel of the chassis. You can install a security lock
(separately purchased) in this slot to protect the router against theft.
Before You Start
Installation Procedure
Attach four rubber pads to the bottom.
Place the router on a desk.
Step 1
Step 2
(Optional) Install a security lock.
Connect the ground cable to the ground point.
Step 3
Step 4
The AR100/AR120/AR150/AR160/AR200 and AR1200 series routers can be wall-mounted.
Before drilling holes in a wall, make sure there are no power cables in the wall to avoid electric shock.
Ensure that there are no flammable or explosive materials near the router and no obstructions within 100 mm around the router.
The panel with interfaces must face down to protect the interfaces from water.
The distance between two installation holes of the AR100 series, AR129CV, AR129CVW, AR129CGVW-L, AR169CVW, and
AR169CVW-4B4S routers is 120 mm.
The distance between two installation holes of the AR161EW, AR161EW-M1, AR169EW, and AR169EGW-L routers is 185 mm.
The distance between two installation holes of the AR120 (except the AR129CV, AR129CVW, AR129CGVW-L) /AR150/AR200
/AR160 (except the AR169CVW, AR169CVW-4B4S, AR161EW, AR161EW-M1, AR169EW, AR169EGW-L) series routers is 130 mm.
The distance between two installation holes of the AR1200 series routers is 270 mm.
Before You Start

Scenario 3: Cabinet/Rack Mounting
AR series routers can be installed in a 19-inch standard cabinet/rack. Cabinets purchased from other vendors
must have enough space for equipment installation.
If the distance between front and rear mounting rails is not within the required range, install guide rails or a
tray in the cabinet/rack to support the chassis. Guide rails or trays are not delivered with the product and must
be purchased separately.
Cabinet mounting is not recommended for Wi-Fi-capable routers.
If routers with the 3G or LTE function are installed in a cabinet, use indoor remote antennas for the routers.
Install indoor remote antennas on the primary 3G or LTE interfaces on the routers.
The AR100 series, AR129CV, AR129CVW, AR129CGVW-L, AR169CVW, and AR169CVW-4B4S routers cannot
be installed in a cabinet.
In this document, AR2204E series refer to AR2204-51GE-P, AR2204-51GE, AR2204-51GE-R, AR2204-48GE-P,

AR2204E-D.
Before You Start
Some router models have specific installation requirements. Refer to the following table for
details about your router model.
Chassis is heavy, so it is recommended that you install guide rails (separately purchased) in the cabinet to support the chassis.
AR2204/AR2220E/AR2204E series
AR2220/AR2240/AR2240C/AR3260/AR3670
Ensure a distance of 375–454 mm or 507–566 mm between the front and rear mounting brackets.
Leave 1 U between the floating nuts on each front mounting rail, and 1 U between those on the rear rails. Ensure the lower
floating nut on each mounting rail is level with those on the other mounting rails.

6 Installing Cards
Before You Start
The methods for installing SIC, WSIC, XSIC, and SRU cards into SIC, WSIC, XSIC, and SRU slots are the same.
The procedure in scenario 1 installs a SIC card into a SIC slot without removing the guide rail.
Slots can be combined into a bigger slot on an AR router. The procedure in scenario 2 installs a WSIC card into
two SIC slots with the guide rail removed.
For information about the cards supported by your model, see Cards in the Hardware Description of your
router on the Huawei support website.
All cards are hot swappable.
Before installing a card, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves.
When installing a card, slowly push it into the slot. If you feel resistance or find the card inclined, pull the card
out and push it into the slot again. Do not push the card with force; otherwise, the connectors on the card
and router backplane may be damaged.
Install filler panels in vacant slots.
Installation Procedure
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw on the filler panel counterclockwise.
Pull the filler panel out by the captive screw. Keep the filler panel for future use.
Turn the eject lever of the card 45 degrees outward. Push the card into the chassis with your thumbs.
Rotate the ejector lever inward to lock the card after the card is completely in the chassis.
Use the Phillips screwdriver to fasten the captive screws clockwise.

7 Connecting Cables
Power cables must be more than 10 cm away from signal cables.
Optical fibers must be used with optical modules.
The bend radius of optical fibers must be larger than 40 mm.
For the ground cable, attach the M4 lug to the router and the M6 lug to the ground point.
If your router uses AC power supply, use AC power cables in compliance with local standards.
If your router uses DC power supply, ensure that the positive and negative cables are connected to the positive
and negative poles correctly.
Antennas need to be installed for routers that provide the Wi-Fi or LTE/3G functions.
