INTRODUCING THE ROUTER 5000
1
FAMILY
Routers in the 3Com Router 5000 Family support two types of interface modules:
Smart Interface Cards (SICs) — small WAN cards
Multifunctional Interface Modules (MIMs) — larger WAN cards
The routers can be flexibly configured by changing or extending SICs or MIMs, to provide different functions. Your router provides slots for the following modules:
Router 5012 — 2 SICs and 1 MIM
Router 5232— 3 MIMs
Router 5642 — 4 MIMs
Router 5682 — 8 MIMs
Software features of the Router 5000 Family include:
WAN routing capability — Router 5000 Family routers provide full routing of IP
using RIP, OSPF, IPX or BGP-4. They also provide WAN support for Relay, X.25, PPP, PPPoE, MP, E1, T1, HDLC/SDLC, Sync / Async, Ethernet (broadband)
ISDN, Frame
Security — Router 5000 Family routers offer RADIUS authentication, advanced
filtering, firewall, and support for VPN protocols, including IPSec with IKE, GRE and L2TP
Powerful backup functionality — Router 5000 Family routers support interface
backup, link backup and route backup. The backup can be between a leased line and a dialup line, between a leased line and a virtual link, or between dialup lines. The Router 5000 Family supports mutual backup between such networks as leased line, X.25, PSTN, ISDN, and Frame Relay.
Voice / Data Convergence — Router 5000 Family routers support QoS,
Multicast, 802.1q VLAN,
Resilience — Router 5000 Family routers support Virtual Router Redundancy
(VRRP), multilink
E1/CE1/PRI and CT1/PRI compatibility — Router 5000 Family routers provide
CE1 (channelized E1) access, and the CE1 interface is compatible with the E1 interface. In addition, the ISDN PRI function can be implemented on the CE1 interface. CT1 (channelized T1) access is also provided and the CT1 interface is compatible with the PRI interface. This compatibility allows one card to be used for multiple purposes.
5012High density ports — The Router 5682 supports a 28 2Mbps sync serial
port, which can connect to leased line, Frame Relay, and X.25 networks.
Backup Center (Configuration / Port), dial on demand routing, and
multi-links, load balancing and compression

INSTALLING THE ROUTER
There are several ways you can install your router:
On a vertical surface
In a rack
On a workbench
The following sections describe how to prepare and install your router:
Preparing to Install the Router
Mounting the Router in a Rack
Installing the Router on the Workbench
Connecting the Power Cable
Connecting the Router to the Console Terminal
Installing SICs and MIMs
Preparing to Install the Router
Safety Warnings Before installing your router, consider the following safety guidelines:
Connecting the Router to the Ethernet
Connecting the Router to the WAN
Verifying the Installation
This section provides guidelines for preparing your site and router for installation.
Switch off the power supply before connecting the cables.
Keep the router away from heat sources.
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.
16 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ROUTER
During the installation, wear an Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) preventive wrist
3Com recommends that you use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) with your router.
strap and ESD-preventive gloves.
General Site
Requirements
The environment of the installation site influences the performance and lifetime of 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 below.
Ta bl e 13 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 below.

Static Electricity
To prevent damage caused by the static electricity, ensure that:
The equipment is grounded
Preparing to Install the Router 17
The equipment room is dust-proof
Adequate temperature and humidity conditions prevail
The operator wears the ESD-preventive wrist strap, ESD-preventive gloves and
ESD-preventive clothes while handling the circuit board.
The dismantled circuit board is placed upward on the ESD preventive
workbench, or put into an ESD preventive bag.
You avoid direct contact with the elements of the circuit board.
Electromagnetic Discharge
To prevent damage by electromagnetic discharge, do the following:
Take effective measures against electrical interference for the power supply
system.
Separate the working ground of the router from the grounding device of the
power equipment, or thunder proof grounding.
Keep the router away from wireless launchers, radar launchers and other high
frequency and high current equipment.
Adopt electromagnetic shielding if necessary.
Lightning Damage
To minimize the risk of lightning damage do the following:
Install a lightning arrester on the input end of a telephone cable, ISDN line or
T1/E1 line.
Ensure that the PGND wire of the chassis is well grounded
Ensure that the neutral point of the socket of AC power supply is well
grounded
Install a lightning arrester at the input end of the power supply
Workbench
Requirements
Whether you install the router in a rack or place it directly on the workbench, it is necessary to ensure that:
Airflow is not restricted around the router.
The cabinet and workbench are strong enough to support the weight of the
router and other installation accessories.
The cabinet and workbench are well grounded.
Installation Checklist After you verify that the installation conditions comply with these requirements,
open the packing case of the router and check the contents against the your order contract. Contact your Service representative if you find any discrepancies.
To install your router, you will need:
To ol s
n Phillips screwdriver
n Flat-head screwdriver
n ESD-preventive wrist strap and ESD-preventive gloves
n Flat-blade screws (used in wall mounting)
