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.

• Make sure the resistance reading between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm.

Examining the installation site

The H3C MSR900-E router can only be used indoors. To ensure that the router can operate correctly

and prolong its service lifetime, the installation site must meet the following requirements.

Cooling system

To ensure good ventilation, the installation site must meet the following requirements:

• A minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in) is reserved at the inlet and outlet air vents.

• The site has an adequate cooling system.

ESD prevention

CAUTION:

Make sure the resistance reading between human body and the ground is in the range of 1 to 10

megohms (Mohms).

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

• Make sure the router and the floor are reliably grounded.

• Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room.

• Always wear an ESD wrist strap when touching 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. Secure the wrist strap lock and the alligator clip lock together.

4. Attach the alligator clip to the grounding terminal on the device.

EMI

EMI from any source adversely affects the router.

To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:

• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

• Take measures against interference from the power grid.

• Do not use the router together with the grounding or lightning-prevention equipment of power

equipment, and keep the router far away from them.

• Keep the router far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency

devices.

Lightning protection

To protect the router from lightning, use the following guidelines:

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

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

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

Installation accessories and tools

• 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 flow

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.

Figure 3 Installation flow

Installing the router

Mounting the router on a workbench

IMPORTANT:

• Reserve a clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in) around the router for heat dissipation.

• Do not place heavy objects on the router.

To mount the router on a workbench:

1. Make sure the workbench is clean, stable, and reliably grounded.

2. Place the router upside down on the workbench and attach the rubber feet to the four round

holes in the chassis bottom.

Figure 4 Attaching the rubber feet

3. Place the router on the workbench upside up.

Installing the router on a wall

CAUTION:

Make sure the network interfaces on the router face downwards, and the sides with ventilation openin

are perpendicular to the ground, as shown in Figure 5.

To mount the router on a wall:

1. Mark the locations of the two mounting holes on the wall with a separation of 160 mm (6.30

in).

The holes must be level (on the same horizontal line.)

2. Drill two holes with a minimum depth of 22 mm (0.87 in) at the marked positions.

3. Hammer a screw anchor into each hole.

4. Fasten a screw into each anchor. Do not fasten the screw all the way in. Leave a space of at

least 1.5 mm (0.06 in).

5. Align the installation holes at the router rear with the screws on the wall and rest the router on

the screws.

Figure 5 Mount the router on a wall

Installing the router in a rack

CAUTION:

To avoid damages to the router and mounting brackets, do not place any objects on the router.

To install the router in a rack:

1. Use a mounting bracket to mark the locations of cage nuts on the front rack posts, as shown

in Figure 6.

The mounting

brackets on both front rack posts must be level (on the same horizontal line.)

Figure 6 Marking installation holes for cage nuts

2. Install cage nuts on rack posts, as shown in Figure 7.

a. Insert one ear of a cage nut into a marked installation hole.

b. Use a flathead screwdriver to push the other ear into the same hole.

Figure 7 Installing cage nuts

3. Attach the mounting brackets to both sides of the router, as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8 Securing mounting brackets to the router

4. Use M6 screws to secure both mounting brackets on the router to the front rack posts, as shown

in Figure 9.

Figure 9 Securing the r

outer to the rack

Grounding the router

ARNING!

Connecting the router grounding cable correctly is crucial for protecting the router from lightning and

EMI.

Make sure the grounding resistance is less than 5 ohms.

You can ground the router with a grounding strip or with a grounding conductor buried in the earth

ground.

The router provides only a ring terminal but no grounding cable. Purchase a grounding cable if

necessary.

Attaching the ring terminal

1. Cut the grounding cable as appropriate for connecting to the grounding strip.

2. Peel 5 mm (0.20 in) of insulation sheath by using the wire-stripping pliers, and insert the bare

metal part through the black insulation covering into the end of the ring terminal.

3. Secure the metal part of the cable to the ring terminal with needle-nose pliers.

4. Cover the joint with the insulation covering, and heat the insulation covering with a heat gun to

completely cover the metal part.

Figure 10 Attaching the ring terminal

Grounding the router through the rack

1. Make sure the rack is reliably grounded.

2. Remove the grounding screw from the grounding terminal on the router chassis.

3. Use the grounding screw to attach the ring terminal of the grounding cable to the grounding

terminal.

4. Use a screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw.

5. Remove a nut from the grounding post of the rack.

6. Use the needle-nose pliers to bend the bare wire at the other end of the grounding cable.

7. Hook the grounding cable to the grounding post on the rack, and fasten the nut.
