Preparing for installation

Safety recommendations

ARNING!

Before installation and operation, read all of the safety instructions in

Compliance and Safety Guide

supplied with your router.

Follow these general safety recommendations:

• Turn off all power and remove all power cables before opening the chassis.

• Unplug all power and external cables before moving the chassis.

• Before installation, locate the emergency power switch so that you can shut off power

immediately if necessary.

• Always wear an ESD wrist strap when installing the router.

• Do not stare into an open optical interface. The light can cause permanent eye damage.

• Use a good grounding system. This is essential for reliable operation.

• Confirm that the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm.

Site requirements

The router can only be used indoors.

This section provides information about temperature, humidity, cleanness, and air quality requirements, as well as rack-mounting requirements and protection against damage from lightning and EMI.

To prevent overheating:

• Provide adequate clearance for air flow, including at least 10 cm (3.94 in) ventilation space

around the router's air intake and outlet vents.

• Make sure the site has an adequate cooling system.

ESD prevention

To prevent the electronic components from being damaged by ESD, follow these guidelines:

• The equipment and floor are correctly grounded.

• The equipment room is dust-controlled.

• Wear an ESD wrist strap when inspecting or handling a circuit board.

To attach an ESD wrist strap:

1. Wear the wrist strap on your wrist.

No wrist strap is supplied with the router. Prepare it yourself.

2. Lock the wrist strap tight around your wrist to keep good contact with the skin.

3. Insert the ESD plug into the ESD socket in the chassis.

4. Attach the alligator to the chassis.

IMPORTANT:

Check the resistance of the ESD wrist strap for safety. The resistance reading should be in the range of 1 to 10 megohm (Mohm) between human body and the ground.

EMI

EMI from any source adversely affects the router.

To prevent EMI:

• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

• Take measures against interference from the power grid.

• Position the router as far as possible from any power source's grounding equipment or light-

prevention equipment.

• Position the router as far as possible from radio transmitters, radar, and all high-voltage or high-

frequency equipment.

Lightning protection

To protect the router from lightning:

• Make sure the grounding cable of the chassis is grounded correctly.

• Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is grounded correctly.

• Install a lightning arrester at the input end of the power supply.

Installation accessories and tools

Figure 1 and Figure 2 list the accessories and tools required for installing the router.

ESD prevention

• The equipment and floor are correctly grounded.

• The equipment room is dust-controlled.

• Humidity and temperature are maintained at

acceptable levels.

• Wear an ESD wrist strap when inspecting or handling

a circuit board.

EMI prevention

• Take measures to protect the power system from the

power grid system.

• Keep the protection ground of the router as far away

from the grounding device or lightning protection grounding device as possible.

• Keep the router far away from radio transmitters, radar,

and high-frequency or high-voltage devices.

• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

Lightning protection

• The grounding cable of the chassis is grounded

correctly.

• The grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is

grounded correctly.

• A port lightning arrester is installed. (Optional.)

• A power lightning arrester is installed. (Optional.)

• A signal lightning arrester is installed at the input end

of an external signal cable. (Optional.)

Electricity safety

• Install a UPS.

• In case of emergency during operation, switch off the

external power switch.

Workbench

• The workbench is stable.

• The workbench is grounded correctly.

Safety precautions

• The router is far away from any sources of heat or moisture.

• The emergency power switch in the equipment room is identified and

accessible.

Tools

• Installation accessories supplied with the router are ready.

• User-supplied tools are ready.

Reference

• Documents shipped with the router are available.

• Online documents are available.

Installing the router

ARNING!

To avoid injury, do not touch bare wires, terminals, or parts with high-voltage hazard signs.

IMPORTANT:

• The barcode on the router chassis contains product information that must be provided to local sales

agent before you return a faulty router for service.

• Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open

the chassis, contact H3C for permission. Otherwise, H3C shall not be liable for any consequence.

Installation prerequisites

• You have read "Preparing for installation" carefully.

• All requirements in "Preparing for installation" ar

e met.

Installation flowchart

You can install the router on a workbench, on a wall, or in a rack. Select an installation method according to the installation environment, and follow the installation flowchart shown in Figure 3.
