Item Requirements Yes No • Keep the router far away from radio transmitters, radar, and high-frequency or high-voltage devices. • Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary. • The grounding cable of the chassis is grounded properly. • The grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is grounded properly.
Installing the router WARNING! To avoid injury, do not touch bare wires, terminals, or parts with high-voltage hazard signs. This chapter provides instructions for installing the router on a workbench or mounting it in a 19-inch rack. Installation prerequisites You have read "Preparing for installation"...
Figure 13 MSR900 router installation flowchart Installing the router When installing the router: • Reserve a space of 10 cm (3.9 in) around the router for heat dissipation. Do not place heavy objects on the router. • Installing the router on a workbench To install the router on a workbench, as shown in Figure...
Make sure the workbench is clean, stable, and properly grounded. Place the router upside down on the workbench and attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom. Figure 14 Installing the router on a workbench Installing the router on a wall CAUTION: When mounting the router on a wall, position the router so the network interfaces face down (toward...
Figure 15 Wall-mounting the router 180 mm ≥ 22 mm ≥ 1.5 mm Grounding the router WARNING! Connecting the router grounding cable correctly is crucial for protecting the router from lightning and EMI. The grounding resistance should be less than 5 ohms.

You can ground the router in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions at the installation site: • Ground the router to a properly-grounded grounding strip. Ground the router to a grounding conductor buried in the earth. •...
Grounding the router to a buried grounding conductor If the installation site has no grounding strips but offers the option of grounding to earth, hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth to serve as a grounding conductor, as shown in Figure Figure 18 Grounding to a conductor buried in the earth...

For a 10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet port that supports MDI/MDIX autosensing, you can use either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable to connect the port to a hub or LAN switch. To connect an Ethernet cable: Connect one end of the cable to an Ethernet port on the router, as shown in Figure 20 Figure Connect the other end of the cable to the peer device.
Connecting the console cable and setting terminal parameters Connecting the console cable CAUTION: When using a console cable to connect a PC to the router, first connect the DB-9 end of the console cable to the PC serial port, and then connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the router console port.
