23 Preparing for installation This chapter includes these sections: Safety recommendations Examining the installation site Installation tools Installation accessories Checklist before installation Safety recommendations Safety symbols When reading this document, note the following symbols: WARNING means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in personal injury. CAUTION means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in data loss, data corruption, or damage to hardware or software. General safety recommendations Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas. Make sure that the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place. Unplug all the external cables (including power cords) before moving the chassis. Safety with electricity Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut the power off at once in case accident occurs. Make sure that the router has been correctly grounded. Do not open or close the chassis cover when the router is powered on. Use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS). If there are two power inputs, disconnect the two power inputs to power off the router. Do not work alone when the router has power. Always check that the power has been disconnected. Safety with laser The H3C SR6604 and SR6608 routers are a line of class 1 laser products. 13

24 WARNING! The laser inside the optical fiber may hurt your eyes. Safety with router moving When moving an H3C SR6604 or SR6608 router, perform the following steps: When moving the router, hold the handles at both sides of the chassis. Use at least two persons to move the router. Move the router carefully. CAUTION: Do not hold the handle of the fan tray or power supply, the handle of the rear cover of the chassis, or the air vents of chassis. Any attempt to carry the router with these parts may cause equipment damage or even bodily injury. Examining the installation site The H3C SR6604 and SR6608 routers can only be used indoors. To ensure that the router works properly and to prolong its service lifetime, the installation site must meet the following requirements: Temperature and humidity Cleanness EMI Temperature and humidity You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Long-term high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes, and metal corrosion. However, if the relative humidity is too low, captive screws may become loose as the result of contraction of insulation washers and static electricity may be produced in a dry environment to jeopardize the circuits on the device. A high temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates the aging of insulation materials and significantly lowers reliability and service life of the router. For the temperature and humidity requirements of the router, see Table 5 and Table 6. Table 5 Temperature requirements Item Operating Temperature Storage Temperature Temperature 0 C to 45 C (32 F to 113 F) -40 C to 70 C(-40 F to 158 F) Table 6 humidity requirements Item Humidity Operating humidity 10% to 95% Storage humidity 5% to 95% 14

25 Altitude Table 7 Altitude requirements Item Operating altitude Storage altitude Altitude 60 m ( ft) to 4 km (2.49 miles) 60 m ( ft) to 4.5km(2.8 miles) Cleanness Dust buildup on the chassis may result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case, electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure. Table 8 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room Substance Concentration limit (particles/cu m) Dust particles 3 x 10 4 (No visible dust on desk in three days) NOTE: Dust particle diameter 5 μm The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, as shown in Table 9. Table 9 Harmful gas limits in an equipment room Gas Max. (mg/m 3 ) SO H 2 S NH Cl Cooling system The H3C SR6604 and SR6608 routers adopt left to right airflow for heat dissipation. 15

26 Figure 19 SR6604/SR6608 airflow Make sure there is enough space (greater than 10 cm (3.94 in)) around the air intake and outlet vents on the router for good ventilation. Make sure the installation site has a good cooling system. ESD prevention To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), note the following guidelines: Make sure that the router and the floor are well grounded. Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room. Maintain the humidity and temperature at a proper level. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when touching a circuit board or transceiver module. Place the removed memory module, CF card, or HIM/MIM on an antistatic workbench, with the face upward, or put it into an antistatic bag. Touch only the edges, instead of electronic components when observing or moving a removed memory module, CF card, or HIM/MIM. To use the ESD-preventive wrist strap, perform the following steps: Step1 Wear the wrist strap on your wrist. Step2 Lock the wrist strap tight around your wrist to keep good contact with the skin. Step3 Insert the ESD-preventive wrist strap into the specially designed hole on the router chassis or attach it to the grounding screw of the chassis with the alligator clips. Step4 Make sure that the rack is well grounded. 16

27 Figure 20 Use an ESD-preventive wrist strap 1 2 (1) ESD-preventive wrist strap (2) Lock (3) Alligator clip 3 CAUTION: Check the resistance of the ESD-preventive wrist strap for safety. The resistance reading should be in the range of 1 to 10 megohm (Mohm) between human body and the ground. EMI All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the router and application system, adversely affect the router in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including grounding system) coupling. To prevent EMI, perform the following steps: Take measures against interference from the power grid. Do not use the router together with the grounding equipment or light-prevention equipment of power equipment, and keep the router far away from them. Keep the router far away from high-power radio launchers, radars, and equipment with high frequency or high current. NOTE: Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary. Lightning protection To protect the router from lightning better, do as follows: Make sure the grounding cable of the chassis is well grounded. 17

28 Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is well grounded. Install a lightning arrester at the input end of the power supply to enhance the lightning protection capability of the power supply. Install a special lightning arrester at the input end of outdoor signal lines (for example, E1/T1 line) to which interface modules of the router are connected to enhance the lightning protection capability. Rack-mounting Before mounting the router in a standard 19-inch rack, adhere to the following requirements: Install the router to a rack that has rack shelves. The rack is sturdy enough to support the router and its accessories. For heat dissipation and device maintenance, make sure the front and rear of the rack should be at least 0.8 m (2.62 ft) away from walls or other devices, and that the headroom in the equipment room should be no less than 3 m (9.84 ft).

Step2 Use a Phillips screwdriver to fix each FMT with two M5 10 self-tapping screws. Figure 48 Install FMTs Installing a port lightning arrestor Installation tools NOTE: Only 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 copper Ethernet ports need to be equipped with port lightning arresters. Before connecting an outdoor Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port, install a port lightning arrester to protect the router against lightning strokes. The following port lightning arrester can be installed on the SR6604 or SR6608. The specifications for the port lightning arrester are as follows: Port protective unit: Single port Maximum discharge current (8/20μs waveform): 5 ka Output voltage (10/700μs waveform): Core-core < 40 V, core-ground < 600 V. Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver Multimeter Diagonal pliers Installation procedures Follow these steps to install a port lightning arrestor: Step1 Use a double-faced adhesive tape to stick the port lightning arrester to the router. The port lightning arrester should be as close to the grounding screw as possible. 41

52 Step2 Cut short the grounding cable of the port lightning arrester according to its distance to the grounding screw. Then, fix the grounding cable onto the grounding screw of the router. Step3 Use a multimeter to check the connection between the grounding cable of the port lightning arrester and the grounding screw of the router. Step4 Follow the instructions to connect the port lightning arrester with a transit cable. The external cable should be connected to the IN end and the transit cable to the OUT end. Check whether the LED on the interface module is normal. NOTE: Read the instructions carefully before installing the port lightning arrester. Step5 Bundle the cables with a cable tie. Figure 49 Install a port lightning arrester 2 1 (1) Port lightning arrester (2) Grounding cable Precautions The performance of the port lightning arrester may be affected in the following cases: The IN and OUT ends of the port lightning arrester are connected incorrectly. The IN end should be connected to the external cable, and the OUT end to the Ethernet port of the router. The port lightning arrester is not well grounded. Make sure that the grounding cable of the port lightning arrester should be as short as possible and be well connected to the grounding screw of the router. Use a multimeter to check the connection between the port lightening arrester and the grounding screw. The installed port lightning arresters are not sufficient. When more than one outdoor Ethernet cable is connected to the router, install a port lightning arrester for each outdoor Ethernet cable. 42

53 Installing a power lightning arrester (lightning protection busbar) Before connecting an outdoor AC power supply to the router, install a lightning protection busbar at the AC power input end and then connect the AC power cord to a lightning protection busbar to protect the router against lightning strokes. You can use cable ties and screws to fasten the lightning protection busbar on the rack, the workbench, or the wall in the equipment room. Figure 50 Install a power lightning arrester N L N L N L N L (1) Status LED On means the lightning protection functions properly. Off means the lightning protection has failed. (2) Grounding and polarity detection LED (red) On means the grounding cable is not well connected or the live and zero wires are connected reversely. Check the power supply line. (3) Power switch (4) IEC-compliant power receptacle Connects to the power source in the equipment room (5) Overload protector Resets the lightning arrester (6) Multi-purpose power receptacle Connects to the power supply of the router Note the following guidelines when installing a power lightning arrester: 1. Make sure that the protection wire (PE) terminal of the power lightning arrester is well grounded before using it. 2. After the AC power cord of the router is plugged into the multi-purpose power receptacle of the power lightning arrester (lightning protection busbar), if the green LED is ON and the red LED is OFF, the lightning protection can function properly. 3. If the red LED is ON, check whether the grounding cable is not well connected or the live and zero wires are connected reversely. You can use a multimeter to examine the polarity at the multi-purpose power receptacle of the power lightning arrester. If the live and zero wires are on the left and right respectively (supposing that you are facing the power receptacle), the PE terminal of the power lightning arrester is not grounded. 43

54 If the live and zero wires are on the right and left respectively (supposing that you are facing the power receptacle), the polarity of the power receptacle of the power lightning arrester is reversed. In this case, open the power receptacle to correct the polarity. If the red LED is still ON, you can be sure that the PE terminal of the power lightning arrester is not grounded. Installing a signal lightning arrester Generally, you need to connect a signal lightning arrester (a transient over-voltage protection) before connecting a signal cable to the router. This can protect electronic devices against surge over-voltage resulting from lightning strokes and other interferences, and minimize impact on the router. The signal lightning arrester is serially connected to a signal cable, so the signal lightning arrester must satisfy the requirements of network performance indexes such as data transmission bandwidth, as well as the lightning protection performance requirement. Before installing a signal lightning arrester, consider such performance indexes of the lightning arrester as lightning protection, bandwidth, transmission loss, and port type. The SR6604/SR6608 supports the following types of signal lightning arresters: Voltage-limiting protection signal lightning arrester maximum discharge current 2.5KA/protection voltage 25V--SMB-75J/ SMB-75J-1W-10Mbps Voltage-limiting protection signal lightning arrester maximum discharge current 2.5KA/protection voltage 25V-BNC-75K/ BNC-75K-10Mbps Voltage-limiting protection signal lightning arrester (U port) - maximum discharge current 3KA/common-mode 400V/differential mode 170V-RJ11 CAUTION: The signal lightning arrester should be grounded as near as possible. The grounding resistance must be less than 4 ohms. The grounding resistance must be less than 1 ohm if there are special grounding requirements. Connect the grounding cable to the special-purpose grounding cable of the signal lightning arrester and connect it to the earthing network, instead of connecting it to the lightning rod or lightning belt. Follow these steps to install a signal lightning arrestor: Step1 Use a double-faced adhesive tape to stick the signal lightning arrester to the router. The signal lightning arrester should be as close to the grounding screw as possible. Step2 Cut short the grounding cable of the signal lightning arrester according to its distance to the grounding screw. Then, fix the grounding cable onto the grounding screw of the router. Step3 Use a multimeter to check the connection between the grounding cable of the signal lightning arrester and the grounding screw of the router. Step4 Follow the instructions to connect the signal lightning arrester with a transit cable. The external cable should be connected to the IN end and the transit cable to the OUT end. Check whether the LED on the interface module is normal. NOTE: Read the instructions carefully before installing the signal lightning arrester. Bundle the cables with a cable tie. 44

55 Figure 51 Install a port lightning arrester Precautions The performance of the signal lightning arrester may be affected in the following cases: The IN and OUT ends of the signal lightning arrester are connected incorrectly. The IN end should be connected to the external cable, and the OUT end to the Ethernet port of the router. The signal lightning arrester is not well grounded. Make sure that the grounding cable of the signal lightning arrester should be as short as possible and be well connected to the grounding screw of the router. Use a multimeter to check the connection between the signal lightening arrester and the grounding screw. The installed signal lightning arresters are not sufficient. When more than one outdoor Ethernet cable is connected to the router, install a signal lightning arrester for each outdoor Ethernet cable. 45
