Preparing for installation Figure 1 This document applies to the following device models: Model Product code MSR830-6EI-GL RT-MSR830-6EI-GL MSR830-6HI-GL RT-MSR830-6HI-GL MSR830-10HI-GL RT-MSR830-10HI-GL MSR830-10EI-GL RT-MSR830-10EI-GL 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.
Temperature and humidity Maintain temperature and humidity in the equipment room at acceptable levels. • Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts. • Lasting low relative humidity is likely to result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and even ESD, which causes the circuits to fail.
ESD prevention CAUTION: Check the resistance of the ESD wrist strap for safety. The resistance reading must be in the range of 1 to 10 megohm (Mohm) between human body and the ground. To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines: •...
Rack-mounting Before mounting the router in a standard 19-inch rack, adhere to the following requirements: • The rack is equipped with a good ventilation system. • 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 are at least 0.8 m (2.62 ft) away from walls or other devices, and the headroom in the equipment room is no less than 3 m (9.84 ft).
Pre-installation checklist Table 4 Pre-installation checklist Item Requirements Result • There is a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) around the inlet and outlet vents for heat dissipation of the router chassis. Ventilation • A good ventilation system is available at the installation site.
• 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.

Installing the router Mounting the router on a workbench IMPORTANT: • Ensure good ventilation and 100 mm (3.94 in) of clearance around the chassis for heat dissipation. • Do not place heavy objects on the router. To mount the router on a workbench: Make sure the workbench is clean, stable, and correctly grounded.

To install the router in a rack: Use a mounting bracket to mark the positions of cage nuts on the front rack posts. Make sure the cage nut installation holes on the front rack posts are on a horizontal line. Install cage nuts, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 7 Securing the router to the rack Grounding the router WARNING! Correctly connecting the router grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. IMPORTANT: The resistance reading must be smaller than 5 ohms between the chassis and the ground. Attaching the ring terminal to the grounding cable The router comes with a ring terminal.
Figure 8 Attaching the ring terminal to the grounding cable Grounding the router with a grounding strip Remove the grounding screw from the grounding hole on the rear panel of the chassis. Use the grounding screw to attach the ring terminal of the grounding cable to the grounding hole.
Remove the nut from the grounding post of the grounding point on the rack. Use the needle-nose pliers to bend a hook at the other end of the grounding cable, and use the removed nut to attach the hook to the grounding post. Figure 10 Grounding the router through the rack Installing a Micro SD card CAUTION:...
Figure 11 Installing a Micro SD card Connecting a USB drive Connect a USB drive to the USB port of the router as shown in Figure Figure 12 Connecting a USB drive Connecting interface cables Connecting an AC power cord Make sure the router is correctly grounded.
Figure 13 Connecting an AC power cord Connecting an Ethernet cable Connect one end of the cable to an Ethernet port on the router and the other end to an Ethernet port on the peer device. Examine the port LED on the router. For more information about the LEDs, see "LED description."...
Connecting an optical fiber WARNING! Do not stare into any fiber port when you connect an optical fiber. The laser light emitted from the optical fiber might hurt your eyes. CAUTION: • To connect a fiber port by using an optical fiber, first install a transceiver module in the port and then connect the optical fiber to the transceiver module.
Connecting the console cable and setting terminal parameters To access the router at the first time, you can only use a console cable to connect the console port on the router to a configuration terminal. Connecting the console cable IMPORTANT: •...

Cryptographic algorithms tests passed. Line con0 is available. Press ENTER to get started. Press Enter. The router is ready to configure when you see the following prompt: <H3C> Configure basic settings for the router. For more information, see the relevant documents.
• 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.
Replacing a transceiver module Gently open the clasp on the transceiver module. If the clasp is obstructed and you cannot use your finger to open it, use a pair of flat-head tweezers to open it. Hold the clasp and pull the transceiver module slowly out of the fiber port. Insert a dust plug into the transceiver module port and keep the removed transceiver module secure.
• 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.
Terminal emulation—VT100 Verify that the console cable is in good condition. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support. Garbled terminal display Symptom The configuration terminal displays garbled characters when the router is powered on. Solution Verify that the Data bits field is set to 8 for the configuration terminal. If the Data bits field is set to 5 or 6, the configuration terminal displays garbled characters.
If you have saved some configurations, you can use the CLI to delete the configuration file or press the RESET button for more than 4 seconds to restore the factory settings. Scenario 3 Symptom The router crashes. Solution Press the RESET button for a short time to reboot the router. Reset button usage guidelines You can use the button to reboot the system or restore the factory settings.
