Selecting a Site

The router can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack or on a level surface such
as a desktop or bench. When installing the router, choose a site that:
■
Allows adequate airflow around the router and its vents.
■
Is free of dust and moisture.
■
Will maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º F) and
a humidity range of 5 to 95% non-condensing.
■
Has a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply circuit, preferably
dedicated and filtered.
■
Does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise, such as radio
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and
fluorescent fixtures.
■
Allows easy access to the router's power and cable connections.

Installing the Router

All AC and DC versions of this equipment must be earthed.
Follow these steps to install the router:
1. Read the safety information
For safety information, see the Safety and Statutory Information booklet. A
copy of this booklet is supplied with each router, and can also be found on
the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM or at www.alliedtelesyn/
documentation/documentation.html.
2. Gather the tools and equipment you will need
If installing a DC version of the router, you will need a DC power source,
DC supply cable, and wire strippers (see step 9).
If the router is to be connected to a redundant power supply, you will need
a redundant power supply unit and cable (see step 8).
3. Unpack the router
Verify the package contents. If any items are damaged or missing, contact
your sales representative.
4. Install expansion options
If you purchased optional Port Interface Cards (PICs) or a Network Service
