Planning and Installation
This article provides general safety standards to adhere to when installing or connecting a vEdge 100b router
or its components.
General Safety Standards
• Install your vEdge router in compliance with the following local, national, and international electrical
codes:
• United States—National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 70), United States National Electrical
Code.
• Other countries—International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) 60364, Part 1 through Part
7.
• Evaluated to the TN power system.
• Canada—Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
• Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. In case of an electrical
accident, quickly turn off the power.
• Disconnect power before installing or removing the router.
• If an electrical accident occurs, use caution and immediately turn off power to the router.
•Make sure that grounding surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and well-finished before grounding connections
are made.
• Do not work alone if hazardous conditions exist.
• Always check that power is disconnected from a circuit. Never assume that it is disconnected.

Planning and Installation

• Carefully inspect your work area for possible hazards, such as moist floors, worn-out power cords,
ungrounded power extension cords, and missing safety grounds.
• Operate the device within marked electrical ratings and product usage instructions.
• To ensure that the router and the FRUs function safely and correctly, use the specified cables and
connectors, and make certain they are in good condition.
Prepare for Router Installation
This article provide guidelines and requirements for preparing your site to install the vEdge 100b router.
Site Preparation Guidelines
Efficient operation of your vEdge 100b router requires proper site planning and proper layout of your equipment
rack or wiring closet:
• Ensure that the area around the router is kept free of dust and conductive material.
• Follow appropriate airflow guidelines so that the cooling system functions normally.
• Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid any damage to the router.
• Install the router in an enclosed, secure area allowing only authorized personnel to access the device.
Environmental Requirements
Install the vEdge 100b router in a dry, clean, temperature-controlled, and well-ventilated environment:
• Maintain ambient airflow for the router to operate normally. The ambient intake air temperature should
be in the range 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If the airflow is blocked or if the air intake is too warm,
the router can get overheated.
• Avoid temperature extremes. Ensure that the router is operating at an ambient temperature not more that
40°C (104°F) at sea level. For higher altitudes, a derating of 1.50°C per 1,000 feet applies.
• High humidity conditions can cause moisture to penetrate into the chassis. The device supports 10% to
85% humidity levels, non-condensing.
Rack Requirements
You can mount the vEdge 100b router in a two-post or a four-post rack. Table 1 provides the rack requirements
for the router.
Table 5:
GuidelinesRack Requirement
Use a two-post or a four-post rack that meets the size requirements for the router,
provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm)
increments, and is strong enough to support the weight of the router.
Rack type
Ensure that the holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45
cm). This allows you to mount the router in any location in the rack.
Mounting brackets

Prepare for Router Installation

GuidelinesRack Requirement
It is recommended that the rack comply with the size and strength standards of a
19-inch rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310–D), published by the Electronics Industry Association
http://www.eia.org . Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to
accommodate the external dimensions of the chassis and that the outer edges of
the front mount brackets extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm). You
must also ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
clearance around the router and rack.
Rack size
For maximum stability, secure the rack to ceiling brackets and to floor brackets.Rack secured to
building structure
Install the vEdge 100b Router
Once you have prepared your site for router installation, unpack the vEdge 100b router and mount it either
on the wall or in a 19-inch rack.
Unpack the vEdge 100b Router
A vEdge 100b router is shipped in a cardboard carton and secured firmly in place with foam packing material.
The carton contains a packing list and Quick Start instructions. It is recommended that you do not unpack the
router till you are ready to install it.
To unpack the router:
1. Open the top flaps of the carton.
2. Gradually remove the packing foam holding the router and the accessories in place. See Figure 1.
3. Take out the router and each accessory.
4. Verify the router components against the packing list included in the box (see packing list below).
