2Preparing for Installation
2.1 Safety Suggestions
To ensure normal operation and a prolonged useful life of the equipment, the installation site must meet the following
requirements.
To prevent device damage and bodily injury, please read carefully the safety recommendations described in this chapter.
Keep the device away from liquid.
Keep the device away from any heat source.
Wear antistatic wrist strap when installing the device.
Do not wear loose clothes or accessories that may be hooked or caught by the device during installation and
maintenance.
Do not place the equipment in a walking area.
UPS is recommended to prevent power failure and power interference.
The recommendations do not cover all possible hazardous situations.
Use Cat 5 or more advanced cables for connection.
2.2 Installation Site Requirements
2.2.1 Temperature and Humidity
Required operating temperature and humidity are as follows:
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F)
Humidity: 5% to 95% (non-condensing)
2.2.2 Cleanness
Dust poses a serious threat to device operation. Dust that falls onto the surface of the device can be absorbed onto metal
contact points by static electricity, resulting in poor contact. Electrostatic absorption of dust occurs more easily when the
relative humidity is low, which may shorten the service life of the device and cause communication failures. Table 2-2
shows the maximum concentration and diameter of dust allowed in the equipment room.

Besides, the contents of salts, acids and sulfides in the air are also strictly limited for the equipment room. These
substances can accelerate metal corrosion and the aging of some parts. Table 2-3 describes the limit of some hazardous
gases such as SO2, H2S, NO2and Cl2 in the equipment room.

2.2.3 Static Discharge Damage Prevention
To prevent damage from static electricity, pay attention to the following:
Indoor dust prevention
Proper humidity conditions
2.2.4 EMI Consideration
Effective measures should be taken for the power system to prevent the interference from the electric grid.
The working ground of the access point should be properly separated and kept as far as possible from the grounding
device of the power equipment or the anti-lightning grounding device.
Keep the equipment away from high-power radio transmitter, radar transmitting station, and high-frequency
large-current device.
Measures must be taken to isolate static electricity.

6.2 Troubleshooting
The LED does not light up after the AP is powered on
Verify that the power source is at least IEEE 802.11af compliant. And then verify that the cable is properly connected.
The WAN port does not work after the Ethernet cable is connected
Verify that the device at the other end of the Ethernet cable is working properly. And then verify that the Ethernet cable is
capable of providing the required data rate and is properly connected.
Wireless client cannot locate the AP
1) Follow the two abovementioned steps.
2) Verify that the cable is properly connected to the WAN port.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix B Cabling Recommendations
Appendix B Cabling Recommendations
During installation, route cable bundles upward or downward along the sides of the rack depending on the actual situation
in the equipment room. All cable connectors should be placed at the bottom of the cabinet rather than be exposed outside
of the cabinet. Power cords should be routed upward or downward beside the cabinet close to the location of the DC
power distribution cabinet, AC power outlet, or lightning protection box.
Required Minimum Cable Bend Radius
The minimum bend radius of a power, communication or flat cable should be 5 times the overall diameter of the
cable. If the cable is constantly bent, plugged or unplugged, the bend radius should be 7 times the overall diameter.
The minimum bend radius of a coaxial cable should be 7 times the overall diameter of the cable. If the cable is
constantly bent, plugged or unplugged, the bend radius should be 10 times the overall diameter.
The minimum bend radius of a high-speed cable, such as an SFP+ cable should be 5 times the overall diameter of
the cable. If the cable is constantly bent, plugged or unplugged, the bend radius should be 10 times the overall
diameter.
Precautions for Cable Bundling
Before bundling cables, correctly mark labels and stick the labels to cables where appropriate.
Cables should be neatly and properly bundled, as shown in Figure B-1.
Figure B-1 Bundling Cables
Route and bundle power, signal, ground cables separately. When the cables are close to each other, cross them.
When power cables run parallel to signal cables, the distance between them must be greater than 30 mm.
All cable trays and their accessories shall be smooth and free from sharp edges.
Holes in metal, through which cables pass shall have smooth, well-rounded surfaces or be protected with insulating
bushings.
Use proper cable ties to bind cables together. Do not tie two or more cable ties to bind cables.
Cut off excess cable tie cleanly with no sharp edges after bundling cables, as shown in Figure B-2.
Figure B-2 Cutting off Excess Cable Tie

·
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix B Cabling Recommendations
If cables are to be bent, bind them first but do not tie cable ties within the bend to avoid stress on the cables, which
may otherwise cause the wires inside to break, as shown in Figure B-3.
Figure B-3 Do Not Tie Cable Ties within the Bend
Wrap up unnecessary or excess cables and bind them to the appropriate rack position, where device operation is not
affected and no damages occur to the device and cables during debugging.
Do not bind power cords to the rails for moving parts.
Leave a certain length of the cable connecting moving parts, such as the ground wire of the cabinet door, to avoid
stress on the cable; When moving parts are in place, ensure the excess cable length shall not contact heat sources,
sharp corners or edges. If heat sources are unavoidable, use high-temperature cables instead.
When using screws to fasten cable lugs, the bolts or nuts shall be tightened and prevented from loosening, as shown
in Figure B-4.

When using a stiff cable, fix it near the cable lug to avoid stress on the lug and cable.
Do not use self-tapping screws to fasten terminals.
Bundle cables of the same type and running in the same direction into groups. Keep cables clean and straight.
Cables shall be tied according to the following table.

Do not tie knots for cables or cable bundles.
The metal parts of the cold-pressed terminal blocks, such as air circuit breakers, shall not be exposed outside of the
blocks.
