Safety recommendations
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.
General safety recommendations
• Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
• Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
• Unplug all the external cables (including power cords) before moving the chassis.
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.
• Make sure the router is correctly grounded.
• Do not open or close the chassis cover when the router is powered on.
• Correctly connect the interface cables of the router.
• Use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
• Do not work alone when the router has power.
• Always make sure the power has been disconnected during the installation and replacement
procedures.
Examining the installation site
The router 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.
1
Page 9
Temperature and humidity
Maintain temperature and humidity in the equipment room at acceptable levels.
•Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical
property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts.
•Lasting low relative humidity is likely to result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and
even ESD, which causes the circuits to fail.
•A high temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates the aging of
insulation materials and significantly lowers reliability and service life of the router.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of the router, see Table 1.
Table 1
Temperature and humidity requirements
Temperature Humidity
0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) 5% to 90% (noncondensing)
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.
Table 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (particles/m
Dust particles
NOTE:
Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 µm
The equipment room must also meet limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components, as shown in Table 3.
