Note:

Install the routers only in restricted-access areas, such as dedicated equipment rooms and equipment closets, in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Environmental Specifications

You must install the router in a rack or cabinet. You must house the router in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environment.

Follow these environmental guidelines:

  • Keep the site as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing the efficiency of the router cooling system.

  • Maintain ambient airflow for normal router operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, the router might overheat, leading to the router temperature monitor shutting down the device to protect the hardware components.

The following table provides the required environmental conditions for normal router operation.

Table 3: Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines

Site Wiring Factor

Guidelines

Signaling limitations

If your site experiences any of the following problems, consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding:

  • Radio frequency interference (RFI) because of improperly installed wires.

  • Damage from lightning strikes occurring when wires exceed recommended distances or pass between buildings.

  • Damage to unshielded conductors and electronic devices as a result of electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) caused by lightning.

Radio frequency interference

To reduce or eliminate RFI from your site wiring:

  • Use a twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding conductors.

  • If you need to exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal, when applicable.

Electromagnetic compatibility

If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), particularly from lightning or radio transmitters, seek expert advice.

Strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) can cause:

  • Destruction of the signal drivers and receivers in the device.

  • Electrical hazards as a result of power surges conducted over the lines into the equipment.

General Electrical Safety Guidelines and Warnings

Warning:

Certain ports on the device are designed for use as intrabuilding (within-the-building) interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed outside plant (OSP) cabling. To comply with NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System) requirements and protect against lightning surges and commercial power disturbances, the intrabuilding ports must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. The intrabuilding ports on the device are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection for connecting these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Avertissement Certains ports de l’appareil sont destinés à un usage en intérieur uniquement (ports Type 2 ou Type 4 tels que décrits dans le document GR-1089-CORE) et doivent être isolés du câblage de l’installation extérieure exposée. Pour respecter les exigences NEBS et assurer une protection contre la foudre et les perturbations de tension secteur, les ports pour intérieur ne doivent pas être raccordés physiquement aux interfaces prévues pour la connexion à l’installation extérieure ou à son câblage. Les ports pour intérieur de l’appareil sont réservés au raccordement de câbles pour intérieur ou non exposés uniquement. L’ajout de protections ne constitue pas une précaution suffisante pour raccorder physiquement ces interfaces au câblage de l’installation extérieure.

CAUTION:

Before removing or installing components of a device, connect an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to an ESD point and wrap and fasten the other end of the strap around your bare wrist. Failure to use an ESD grounding strap could result in damage to the device.

Attention Avant de retirer ou d’installer des composants d’un appareil, raccordez un bracelet antistatique à un point de décharge électrostatique et fixez le bracelet à votre poignet nu. L’absence de port d’un bracelet antistatique pourrait provoquer des dégâts sur l’appareil.

Rack Requirements

You can mount the device on two-post racks or four-post racks.

Table 4: Rack Requirements

Rack Requirement

Guidelines

Rack Type

A U is the standard rack unit defined by the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) (http://www.ecianow.org).

You can mount the device on a rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1-U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments and meets the size and strength requirements to support the weight.

Mounting bracket hole spacing

The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1-U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) so that the device can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.

Rack size and strength

Ensure that the:

  • Rack complies with the size and strength standards of a 19-in. rack as defined by the ECIA (http://www.ecianow.org).

    • Rack has one of the following standard lengths:

      • 30.0 in. (762 mm)

      • 31.5 in. (800 mm)

  • Rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the external dimensions of the device chassis. Also ensure that the outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm).

  • Rack is strong enough to support the weight of the device.

  • Spacing of rails and adjacent racks provides for proper clearance around the device and the rack.

Rack connection to building structure

  • Secure the rack to the building structure.

  • If your geographical area is earthquake-prone, secure the rack to the floor.

  • Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as to the wall or floor brackets for maximum stability.

Cabinet Requirements

You can mount the device in a cabinet that contains a 19-in. rack.

Note:

PTX10002-60MR supports closed racks (cabinets) and open racks (2-post/4-post).

Table 5: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications

Cabinet Requirements

Guidelines

Cabinet size and clearance

  • The minimum cabinet size is 27.7 in. (70.35 cm) between cabinet front door and cabinet rear wall. It is recommended to have minimum of 6 in. clearance from the cabinet front door and router front panel minimum of 6 in. clearance from the cabinet rear wall and switch rear panel. Large cabinets improve airflow and reduce chances of overheating.

  • The outer edges of the front mounting brackets extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm).

Cabinet airflow requirements

When you mount the device in a cabinet:

  • Ensure that ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating.

  • Ensure that there is adequate cool air supply to dissipate the thermal output of the device.

  • Ensure that the hot air exhaust of the chassis exits the cabinet without recirculating into the device. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction from the top ensures the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust.

  • Install the device in the cabinet in a way that maximizes the open space on the side of the chassis that has the hot air exhaust.

  • Route and secure all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from the chassis.

  • Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets is such that proper clearance exists around the device and cabinet.

  • A cabinet larger than the minimum required provides better airflow and reduces the chance of overheating.

Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance for PTX10002-60MR Routers

When planning the site for installing a PTX10002-60MR Router, follow these clearance requirements:

  • For the cooling system to function properly, ensure that the airflow around the chassis is unrestricted.

  • If you are mounting the router on a rack or cabinet along with other equipment, ensure that the hot air exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the cold air intake vents of the chassis.

  • Allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack or cabinet and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack or cabinet.

  • Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) clearance in front of and behind the router for service personnel to remove and install hardware components.
