Page 7: Preparing For Installation
Preparing for installation Safety recommendations To avoid bodily injury and damage to the router, read all safety recommendations carefully before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. 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. -
Page 8: Examining The Installation Site
CAUTION: • Insert dust caps into open optical fiber connectors to protect them from contamination and ESD damage. • Insert dust plugs into open fiber ports and transceiver module ports to protect them from contamination and ESD damage. Examining the installation site The router must be used indoors. -
Page 9: Cleanliness
100G or 10G commercial transceiver modules with a maximum transmission distance of 10 km (6.21 miles). Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might 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. -
Page 10: Grounding
Grounding Correctly grounding the router is crucial to lightning protection, anti-interference, and ESD prevention. Use a good grounding system for the router. Make sure the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm. For more information about grounding the router, see "Grounding the router."... -
Page 11: Lightning Protection
Verify that the power supply system at the installation site is stable and satisfies the device power requirements such as power input mode and rated input voltage. For more information about power consumptions, see H3C RA5100 [RA5100-G] Router Series Hardware Information and Specifications. -
