FAMILY
Introduction 3Co m 600 0 Routers are next generation, high-performance edge routers. The
Router 6040 is a 4-slot chassis. The Router 6080 is an 8-slot chassis. 3Com 6000
Routers offer a robust hardware design, supporting Flexible Interface Cards (FICs),
hot swappable Power Supply Unit (PSU), and 1+1 power backup. Following are
the main features of 6000 Routers.

ATM and DSL Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a simple, but highly efficient, broadband
technology. A DSL achieves great data transmission capacity over existing copper
wiring, by using digital code modulation technology. The ADSL cards available for
6000 Routers allow medium-to-small-sized enterprises to access the Digital
Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) equipment via Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) and, then, the Internet.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) transmits, multiplexes, and switches
information in cells. 6000 Routers provide 155Mbps cards supporting ATM
Adaption Layer Type 5 (AAL5), and offers traffic services like Constant Bit Rate
(CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR). Such routers are
well-suited to the high-speed data service and the transmission of large packets,
8 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCING THE ROUTER 6000 FAMILY
which, implement connection between medium-and-small-sized enterprise
networks and ATM networks.
MPLS Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a combination of IP and ATM
technologies. MPLS replaces the IP header with a short and length-fixed label as
traffic identifier. This information is used by the router to make forwarding
decisions. This provides faster forwarding speed while getting support from IP
routed protocols and control protocols. This meets the requirements that various
new applications put on the network. MPLS VPN is a Virtual Private Network
technology that implements the interconnection of private networks via Label
Switched Paths (LSPs). As a LSP is a tunnel across the public network on its own,
MPLS has an intrinsic advantage in terms of VPN implementation. 6000 Routers
usually act as Label Edge Routers (LERs) to connect to an MPLS domain with
non-MPLS domain or connect to MPLS domains of different service providers.

Introduction to
General Modules
The 6000 Routers modules include RPU, PSU (PWR), FAN, and FICs.
RPU The RPU functions primarily to process protocols, forward low-speed packets,
control interfaces, and detect faults. The state monitoring information, such as the
operation states of FAN, PWR, and system can be shown directly via the LEDs on
the RPU, or reported to the network management system. In addition, RPU also
provides the hardware reset button, RESET.

Power Modules The power modules of 3Com 6000 Routers can work in either single-power or
dual-power mode. In dual-power mode, the two Power Modules function in a
redundant loading sharing mode. The input interruption or failure of a PWR does
not affect the operation of another PWR, and this operating PWR will provide all
the power required by the system.
Power Modules control functions of overcurrent protection and overvoltage
protection.You can connect the PWR to the backplane by inserting it from the rear
of router chassis. It is hot swappable and its switchover will not affect the ongoing
system operation.
If you want to install a 6000 Router in a communication equipment room, you
should make sure that the power distribution cabinet can provide the lightning
protection box or arrester against the current of 20KA and above.
Do not connect the AC power cord while inserting or removing a card.
ON/OFF switch should be set to OFF while inserting or removing.

FAN The 6040 is configured with six fans, separated into three groups. The 6080 is
configured with eight fans, separated into four groups. The two fans in a group
work in a redundant manner. When all these fans are working normally, the
operating temperature of the system can be maintained in the range of 0 to 55 C.
Failure of a fan will not affect the operation of other fans, the system will still be
able to operate in the normal temperature. The rotating speed of the fans is
controlled by the RPU and is in the range of 50% to 100%.
The FAN controller uses two parameters, low-temperature threshold and
high-temperature threshold, to control the rotation speed of the fans; the former
corresponding to 100% rotating speed, and the latter corresponding to 50%
rotating speed. The system will send out rotation stop alarm signals in case any fan
fails. The alarm, and state LEDs, of FAN are located on the RPU front panel.

Temperature/Humidity
Requirements
Cleanliness
Requirements
To ensure the proper working of the routers and prolong their service life, the
installation site should meet the requirements described in the following sections.
To ensure normal operation of the Router, the equipment room must maintain
temperature and humidity . Long-lasting moisture can degrade the performance of
the insulating material, which may result in electric leakage, leading to metal
erosion. The following table lists the requirements of 3Com Router 6000 in
temperature and humidity.
Table 1 Temperature/Humidity requirements in the equipment room
Temperature Relative humidi ty
0oC to 40oC 10% to 90%
The values of the operating temperature and humidity in router equipment refers
to the values measured at the position 1.5m above the floor and 0.4m ahead of
the router rack; given there are no protective boards in front or at the back of the
router rack.
Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the Router. Dust on the chassis may result
in static absorption, and causes poor contact of the metal connection components
or points.
There should not be explosive, conductive, magnetic, or corrosive dust in the
equipment room where 3Com 6000 Routers are located, and the dust
concentration should meet the following requirements:
Table 2 Limitation on dust content in equipment room
Mechanical active material Unit Content
Dust particle particle/m³ 3 x 104
(No visible dust on desk in three days) Note: Dust particle Diameter 5µm
Besides the dust specifications, the equipment room of the Router should also
meet the rigorous requirements for the content of salt, acid and sulfide. These
harmful gases could accelerate the metal erosion and the aging process of some
parts. The specific limits of these harmful gases are given in the following table.

. ESD Preventive
Requirements
Electromagnetic
Environment
Requirements
Despite careful considerations in preventing ESD in the design of the Router,
excessive static electricity may bring enormous damage to the card circuits and
even the entire Router.
On the communication network connected to the Router, the static electricity is
primarily introduced from the outside electrical fields, such as the outdoor
high-voltage power cable and lightning, and from the inside system, such as
indoor environment, floor material and the equipment frame. To avoid the
damage caused by the static electricity, you should ensure that:
■ The equipment is well connected to ground.
■ The equipment room is du s t- p roof.
■ There is adequate temperature and humidity.
■ You always wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap and clothes when
contacting the circuit board.
■ You place the removed circuit board upward on the ESD-preventive
workbench, or into a static shielded bag.
■ You hold the circuit board by the outer edge, when observing or moving it,
to avoid direct contact with the elements on it.
All interference sources will affect the Router negatively in the conduction patterns
of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation,
and common impedance (including grounding system) coupling. To prevent the
interference:
Lightning Protection
Requirements
■ Take effective measures against electricity net interference with the power
supply system.
■ Do not use the working ground of the Router together with the grounding
or lightning protection grounding device of the power equip ment. Separ ate
them as far as possible.
■ Keep the Router far away from strong power wireless launchers, radar
launchers, and high frequency and high-current equipment.
■ Use electromagnetic shielding if necessary.
Despite the careful considerations that have been taken in lightning protection
when designing the Routersm and the measures that have been adopted, an
excessive-degree of lightning may still damage the Routers. To achieve the best
lightning protection, you are recommended to:
■ Keep the grounding wire of the PGND of the chassis in good contact with
the earth ground.
■ Keep the grounding terminal of the AC power socket in good contact with
the earth ground.
Safety Recommendations 21
■ Add a lightning arrester for power supply onto the front end of the power
input in order to protect the power supply from lightning strikes in a more
effective way.
■ Add a special lightning protection facility at the input end of the signal
cables in order to protect the signal cables led to the outdoors, such as ISDN
cable, telephone cable, and E1/T1 cable, from lightning strikes in a more
effective way.
Check Workbench Following are the rules that you should observe when installing the Router:
■ Leave enough clearance at the air intake vents and air exhausting vents to
ensure adequate ventilation of the router chassis.
■ Make sure that the workbench has a good ventilation system.
■ Make sure that the workbench is stable enough and can support the weight
of the Router and the installation accessories.
■ Make sure that the workbench is well-grounded.
Safety
Recommendations
Check Router and
Accessories
When installing or working on a Router, you should:
■ Keep the Router far away from heat sources and water/liquid.
■ Make sure that the Router has been correctly grounded.
■ Wear ESD-preventive wrist strap during installation and maintenance.
■ Connecting the cables to the ports appropriate to them. Above all, do not
insert the telephone cable (including the ISDN cable) into a serial port.
■ Follow laser cautions. Do not directly stare into the the laser, or the fiber
connector connected to it.
■ Use Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).
After having confirmed that the installation conditions comply with the
requirements, please open the packing cases of the Router.s

Rack Mount Router 6000 Routers are designed to fit the 19-inch standard rack. The following table
describes their dimensions.
Table 5 6000 Router dimensions
Model Dimensions (mm)
6040 (W x D x H) 436.2 x 420 x 130.5
6080 (W x D x H) 436.2 x 420 x 219.5
Take the following steps to mount a Router.
1 Ensure the rack is stable.
2 Fix the mounting brackets (attached with a fixed cabling rack) onto both sides of
the chassis with a Phillips screwdriver. (Skip this step, if you do not fix the router on
the rack.)
3 Install the Router on the shelf/guides and push it into the rack. (Since 6080 Router
is rather heavy, it needs two people to carry from both sides.)
4 Place the Router in the rack by fixing the mounting brackets and the proper pan
head screws.

Bench-Mount Router In some cases, 19-inch standard rack is not available and bench mounting is
preferred. This mounting method is simple. Please pay attention to the following
items:
■ Keep the workbench stable and well grounded.
■ Leave the clearance of 10cm around the Router for heat dissipation.
■ Never put heavy things on the Router.
Installing Modules The tasks of general module installation include the installations of RPU, PWR, and
various FICs.
Connect the Ground
(PGND)
The normal connection of PGND wire for the Router is the essential safeguard
against the lightning shocks and interference. Therefore, you must first correctly
connect the PGND wire when installing and using the Router.
6000 Routers provide a separate PGND screw. You must securely connect the
PGND to the ground, ensuring the leakage power to be channeled into the earth
ground. The PGND also provides protection against the high voltage of lightning
shocks caused by external network lines like E1/T1 line and ISDN/PSTN line. The
PGND screw is located at top right-rear of the chassis and identified by a
grounding mark, as shown in the following figure:

Connect the ground screw to the earth ground using a PGND cable, requiring a
grounding resistance less than 5-ohm. If you install the Router in a 19-inch
standard rack, you must also ground the rack.
Be sure the router is grounded in the event of lightning.
Connect AC Power Cord AC power supply
AC power input range: 100 to 240V, 50/60Hz AC.

Recommended AC power socket
Use a 3-line single-phase power socket with a grounding terminal; which should
be reliably connected to the ground in the building. Make sure that the power
supply for the building has been well grounded before connecting the AC power
cord.
