Chapter 3 Installation Preparations

3.1 Safety Recommendations

Routers play the key role in data communications network. Please pay attention to thefollowing:

Warning: It indicates that this operation may seriously damage the router orendanger the operator. Please follow the operation procedures for sake of safety.

Caution: It indicates that during the installation and usage of the router, the

operation needs attention. Though this operation will not do any damage to the routeror endanger the operator, it may affect the normal operation of the router.

Please follow the following safety recommendations during the installation and use ofthe router:

Keep the router away from water or any wet place. Keep the router away from any heat source. Make sure that the router is normally grounded.

Wear ESD-preventive wrist strap during installation. Do not hot unplug the modules of the router. Do not hot unplug any cable.

Always use UPS.

3.2 Installation Conditions

R2600/3600 series must be used indoors. To ensure the normal operation and prolongtheir service life, the following requirements for installation site must be met.

3.2.1 Temperature and Humidity Requirements

Certain requirements on temperature and humidity in the equipment room shall be met.If the relative humidity is too high, the insulation materials in it will deteriorate easily oreven lead to electric leakage. Sometimes this will result in change to the mechanicalperformance of the materials and rusting of the metal components. If the relativehumidity is too low, the fastening screw will become loosen due to shrinkage of theisolation spacer. In an environment with dry climate, the static electricity may beproduced, putting the CMOS of the router to risk. High temperature is of the greatestrisk: for it will significantly degrade the routers reliability, speed up the aging process ofthe insulating materials, and shorten the service life of the router. The requirements onthe temperature and humidity for R2600/3600 series are shown in Table 3-1:


23/134



3-2

Table 3-1 Humidity requirement in the equipment room

Temperature Relative humidity

Normal operating condition Safety operatingcondition

Normal operating condition Safety operatingcondition

15OC to 30OC 0OCto 45OC 40% to 65% 10% to 90%

Note:

1) The values of environmental temperature and humidity in the equipment room are measured at 1.5mhigh and 0.4m away from the front of the router rack when there is no protective board installed in front andat the back of the rack.2) Safety operating condition refers to the continuous operation for less than 48 hours or the accumulativeannual operation time less than 15 days.3) The extreme environment refers to the likely environmental temperature and humidity when the airconditioning system in the equipment room fails (the normal operating condition should be recovered

within five hours for each failure).

3.2.2 Cleanness Requirements

Dust undermines the normal operation of R2600/3600 series. Dust dropping on theequipment can cause electrostatic adsorption, which degrades the contactperformance of the metal connection parts or connectors. This happens more

frequently when the indoor relative humidity is low, which will not only shorten therouters service life, but also cause communication failure.

The recommended specification on dust content and particle diameter in the equipmentroom is shown in Table 3-2:

Table 3-2 Specification on dust content in equipment room

Maxim d iameter ( m) Max. intensity (particles per cubic meter)

0.5 1.4 x 107

1 7 x 105

3 2.4 x 105

5 1.3 x 105

The routers also have rigorous demand on the content of salts, acids and sulfides in theair. These harmful gases will speed up the metal rusting and the aging processes ofcertain parts. The equipment room should be protected from the invasion of harmfulgases such as SO2, H2S, NO2,NH3 and Cl2, the value limits of which are shown in Table3-3:


24/134



3-3

Table 3-3 Value limits for harmful gas contents in equipment room

Gas Average (mg/m3) Max. (mg/m3)

SO2 0.2 1.5H2S 0 0.03

NO2 0.04 0.15

NH3 0.05 0.15

Cl2 0.01 0.3

3.2.3 ESD-Preventive Requirements

Although many antistatic considerations have been given to R2600/3600 series,damage to the routers circuit or even the whole equipment may still happen when the

static electricity exceeds the tolerance threshold.

In the communication network to which the routers are connected, static inductionmainly comes from:

External electric fields such as outdoor high voltage power line or thunder. Internal environment like flooring materials or the whole equipment structure.

Thus, the following should be considered to safeguard the equipment against the staticdamage:

Make sure that the equipment and the floor are well grounded. Make sure that dust-proof measures are taken.

Maintain an appropriate humidity and temperature. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and uniform when contacting the circuit

board.

Place the uninstalled circuit board on the antistatic workbench, with its faceupward, or put it into the electromagnetic shield bag. When observing or removing the uninstalled circuit board, please touch the edge

of the circuit board, and avoid contacting the devices on it.

3.2.4 Anti-interference Requirements

The interference sources, no matter where they come from, affect the routers withcapacitance coupling, inductance coupling, radiation of electromagnetic wave,common impedance (including the grounding system) or conducting line (power line,

signal line and transmission line etc.).

So the following should be considered:

Take effective measures to prevent the power system from being interfered withby the power grid system.

Separate the working ground of the router from the grounding device of the powersupply equipment or anti-lightning grounding device as far as possible.

Keep the router far away from the radio launcher, radar launcher, and high-frequency devices working in high currents.

Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

3.2.5 Lightning Protection Requirements

Although many measures have been taken to protect R2600/3600 series from lightning,if the lightning intensity exceeds a certain range, damage to the router may still happen.

To protect the router from lightning better, the following should be considered:


25/134



3-4

Ensure the shell of the chassis is well grounded through the ground wire. Ensure the neutral point of the socket of AC power supply is well grounded. To enhance the lightning protection capability of the power supply, a lightning

arrester could be installed at the input end of the power supply.

As for the signal line led out to the outdoor from the function modules ofR2600/3600 series, such as ISDN line, telephone line, E1 line, etc, a speciallightning arrester should be installed at the input end of the signal line to enhancethe lightning protection capability.

3.2.6 Workbench Requirements

No matter whether you are to install the router in the cabinet or directly place it on theworkbench, it is necessary to ensure that:

There is spacing reserved at the air inlet and outlet in the router so as to facilitatethe radiation of the router cabinet.

The cabinet and workbench have good radiation systems.

The cabinet and workbench are firm enough to support the weight of the routerand other installation accessories.

The cabinet and workbench are well grounded.

3.3 Tools and Devices Required

1) Tools required Phillips screwdriver Flathead screwdriver ESD-preventive wrist strap2) Connection cables Power cable

Console cable Auxiliary cable Ethernet cable Interface cable for selected modules3) Required Devices Ethernet HUB or LANSWITCH CSU/DSU or other DCE Configuration terminal (can be an ordinary PC) Equipment related with selected modules

Step 4: Check that the power indicator in the rear panel of the router is on. It is on whenthe power cable is correctly connected.

4.3.2 Connecting Ground Cable

Warning:

The normal connection of the routers ground cable is the primary guarantee for the anti-lightning and

anti-interference capability of the router, so you must connect the ground cable carefully.

The AC input connector of R2600/3600 series comes with an AC noise filter unit,whose central ground is directly connected with the cabinet, forming the so-called

chassis ground (also called the protection ground). This chassis must be well groundedso that the induction power and leakage power can be released to the ground toimprove the whole routers performance to withstand electromagnetic interference.This ground also provides protection against the lightning and over-voltage likely to becaused by the external network cable such as the E1 interface and ISDN cables.

The ground point of the chassis is located near the AC power and switch at the back ofthe cabinet, as shown in Figure 4-7. The point shall be connected to the ground.

Ground point

Figure 4-7 Ground point on the chassis

Please connect this point to the ground with a ground cable, and make sure that theground resistance is not greater than 5-ohm. If the router is installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet, then this cabinet should be grounded in the same way.

Warning:

The router must be well grounded for the normal working; otherwise it cannot guard against lightning, and

is likely to cause damage to the router and the far-end equipment connected with this router!
