Chapter 3 Preparation

This chapter describes the initial setup and preparation for installing the router. This chapter includes the following topics:

• Site Selection
• Tools and Parts Required for Installation
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

3.1 Site Selection
The following criteria should be considered when selecting a site to install the router:

• Temperature and Ventilation: For proper ventilation, install the router where there is ample airflow to the front and back of the router. The ambient temperature should not go below 0° or exceed 40°C.
  Note: To prevent the router from overheating, do not operate it in an area where the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F).

• Rack Space: Install the router in a rack or cabinet. The router height is 1.74″. The accessory kit provides necessary equipment such as mounting brackets and screws required for the installation. When mounting the router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from bottom to top, with the heaviest equipment at the bottom. Load the router at the bottom if it is the only item in the rack.

• Power Requirements: Power requirements vary by router and power supply model. Refer to Table 3: Power Ratings and for information regarding your specific system. Note: The power input plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times; it provides the primary method of disconnecting power from the system.

•  Other Requirements: Select a site where liquids or objects cannot fall onto the equipment and foreign objects are not drawn into the ventilation holes. Verify the following guidelines are met:

  • Clearance areas to the front and rear panels allow for unrestricted cabling.
  • All front and rear panel indicators can be easily read.
  • Power cords can reach from the power outlet to the connector on the rear panel.
    Note: All power connections must be removed to de-energize the unit.

3.2 Tools and Parts Required for Installation
Each router provides an accessory kit that contains parts that are required to install the router. In addition to the accessory kit, the following tools and equipment are required to install the router:
Additional Tools

• Screwdriver
• Screws or rack mounting nuts and bolts

3.3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

Observe these guidelines to avoid ESD damage when installing or servicing the router.

• Assemble or disassemble equipment only in a static-free work area.
• Use a conductive work surface (such as an anti-static mat) to dissipate static charge.
• Wear a conductive wrist strap to dissipate static charge accumulation.
• Minimize handling of assemblies and components.
• Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging.
• Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the work area.
• Use tools that do not create ESD.
