INTRODUCING THE ROUTER 3000

1 FAMILY

	Routers in the 3Com® Router 3000 Family provides the following types of ports:
	■	Ethernet port
	■	Synchronous/asynchronous serial port
	■	Auxiliary (AUX) port
	■ ISDN BRI S/T and U port
	■	CT1/PRI port
	■	E1/CE1/PRI port
	These features allow you to combine the various networking technologies, such as
	PSTN/ISDN, FR (Frame Relay), X.25, leased line, and T1 line. These multiple ports
	also allow Router 3000 series routers to interoperate with the products of other
	manufacturers.
	Router 3000 routers use three types of memory:
	■ Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) — Saves router
		operation system software
	■ Flash memory — Saves router program files, configuration files and so on
	■ Boot ROM — Saves the boot and initialization programs of the router

INSTALLING THE ROUTER

2

There are two ways you can install your router:

■On a vertical surface

■On a workbench

The following sections describe how to prepare and install your router:

■Preparing to Install the Router

■Mounting the Router on a Vertical Surface

■Installing the Router on a Workbench

■Connecting the Protection Ground Wire

■Connecting the Power Cable

■Connecting the Router to the Console Terminal

■Connecting the Router to the Ethernet

■Connecting the Router to the WAN

■Verifying the Installation

Preparing to Install This section provides guidelines for preparing your site and router for installation. the Router

Safety Warnings Before installing your router, consider the following safety guidelines:

■Switch off the power supply before connecting the cables.

■Keep the router far away from any heat source.

■To ensure normal heat dissipation, do not stack routers.

■Do not keep a router in a damp place, and prevent liquid from getting into the router.

■Ensure that the neutral point of the power is grounded properly, to avoid personal injury.

■Ensure that the power is off before plugging or unplugging the interface cards, modules and cables of the router.

■Before removing the chassis, disconnect all the power cords and external cables.

■To avoid damage to the router, connect all the cables correctly. Never connect telephone cables (including the ISDN lines) to the console or AUX port.

20CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ROUTER

■During the installation, wear an ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) preventive wrist strap and ESD-preventive gloves. See “Static Electricity” on page 20 for additional information on ESD prevention.

3Com recommends that you use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) with your router.

General Site The environment of the installation site influences the performance and lifetime of Requirements the router. The installation site for your router should meet the following

requirements for temperature and humidity, dust, gases, static electricity, and electromagnetic discharge.

Temperature and Humidity

To ensure normal operation and to prolong the operational lifetime of the router, the temperature and humidity of the equipment room must be within controlled limits. The requirements for the temperature and humidity of the router installation site are listed in Table 22.

Table 22 Temperature and Humidity Requirements

Temperature	Relative humidity
00 to 400C (320 to 1040F)	5% to 85%

Dust

Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the router. The specifications for the dust content and diameter of the granule within the equipment room are listed in Table 23.

Table 23 Specification for Dust Content

Maximum diameter (µ m)	0.5	1	3	5
Maximum density (the number	1.4 x 107	7 x 105	2.4 x 105	1.3 x 105
