OVERVIEW

The 3Com

®

Router 3000 series routers provide the following types of interfaces:

■ Ethernet interface

■ Synchronous/asynchronous serial interface

■ Auxiliary (AUX) port

■ ISDN BRI S/T and U port

■ CT1/PRI port

These features allow you to combine the various technologies, such as PSTN/ISDN,

FR (Frame Relay), X.25, leased line, and T1 line, for networking. These multiple

interfaces also allow Router 3000 series routers to interoperate with the products

of other manufacturers on all levels.

Router 3000 routers use three types of memory:

■ Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) — Saves router

operation system software

■ Flash memory — Saves router program files, configuration files and so on

■ Boot ROM — Saves boot and initialization programs of the router

PREPARING TO INSTALL THE ROUTER

Safety Warnings As you prepare to install your router, consider the following safety guidelines:

■ Switch off the power supply before connecting the cables.

■ Keep the router far away from any heat source.

■ To ensure normal heat dissipation, do not stack routers during the installation.

■ Do not keep a router in a damp place, and prevent liquid from getting into the

router.

■ Make sure that the neutral point of the power is grounded properly, to avoid

personal injury.

■ Make sure 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, and never

connect telephone cables (including the ISDN lines) to the console or AUX port.

■ During the installation, wear the ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) preventive wrist

strap and ESD-preventive gloves. See the

Static Electricity section in this chapter

for additional information on ESD prevention.

■ 3Com recommends that you use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) with

your router.

■ To enhance the anti-lightning-strike capability of the router, install a power

arrester at the front end of the power input, and a special arrester at the input

end of the outdoor cable, such as telephone cable, ISDN line or T1/E1 line.

General Site

Requirements

The environment of the installation site influences the performance and lifetime of

the router. In addition, if the router operates in inappropriate working

environment, its performance will become unreliable. 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 equipment room must maintain adequate temperature and humidity. If the

equipment room is damp, it is likely to affect the performance of the insulating

material, which may result in electric leakage and lead to metal erosion.

If the equipment room is very dry, the insulating shim will contract, leading to

loosening of the fastening screws. In addition, static electricity will be produced,

which damages the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuit on

20 CHAPTER 2: PREPARING TO INSTALL THE ROUTER

the router. If the equipment is always very hot, the aging process of insulating

materials accelerates, which affects the reliability of the router and even its

operational lifetime. The requirements for the temperature and humidity of the

router installation site are listed in

Table 1.

Tabl e 1 Temperature and Humidity Requirements

Dust Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the router. Dust on the chassis can result

in static absorption and cause faulty contact between metal connection

components or points. Especially when indoor humidity is low, dust is absorbed

more easily which not only shortens the operational lifetime of the equipment, but

also can result in communication failure. The specifications for the dust content

and diameter of the granule within the equipment room are listed in

Table 2.

Tabl e 2 Specification for Dust Content

Gases Besides the dust specification, the equipment room should also meet strict

requirements for the content of salt, acid and sulfide. These harmful gases can

accelerate the metal erosion and the aging process of some parts. The presence of

harmful gases, such as SO

2

, H

2

S, NO

2

, NH

3

, and Cl

, should be prevented. The

specific limitation values of these harmful gases are given in

Table 3.

Tabl e 3 Harmful Gas Limitation Values in Equipment Room

Static Electricity Although careful considerations in preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) have

been taken in the design of the router, if the level of static electricity exceeds a

certain threshold, it will cause great damage to the circuit and even to the entire

router.

On the communication network connected to the router, the electrostatic

induction comes mainly from two aspects: one is from the outside electrical fields,

such as the outdoor high-voltage power cable and lightning, and the other is from

the inside system, such as indoor environment, floor material and the system

structure.
