    Connects the power module of the router. Installing a lightning protector for a network port HP recommends that you install lightning protector for 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 copper Ethernet ports. The router does not come with lightning protectors. If part of the network cable of a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 copper Ethernet port must be routed outdoors, connect a lightning protector to the cable before you plug the cable into the port.

  • Page 101: Engineering Labels

    Engineering labels Engineering labels are used to identify cables and devices for easy maintenance after installation. There are two types of engineering labels, labels for cables and labels for devices. Labels for cables Cables include signal cables such as network cables and fibers, and power cables such as AC power cables and DC power cables.

  • Page 102: Generic Labels

    Figure 61 Label for power cables (1) Cable tie (2) Dividing line on the label Generic labels A generic label is bar-shaped with fixed dimensions. It is applicable to both signal cables and power cables. A mark "TO:" is located at the upper left corner in the right area of the label to identify the peer end of the cable on which the label is affixed.

  • Page 103: Labels For Devices

    A device label is used to identify the device name, model, address, installation date, and so on. Filling in labels You can print or write desired contents on labels. HP recommends that you print labels. To print labels, select a label printer and a proper label template as needed. For more information about using a label printer, see the user guide of the printer.

    Engineering labels for optical fibers These labels are affixed to optical fibers that connect the fiber ports on the cards in a chassis, or connect fiber ports on box-type devices. There are two types of labels for optical fibers: labels for a fiber that connects the fiber ports on two devices, labels for a fiber that connects the device and the optical distribution frame (ODF).

    PGND and RTN are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are short-circuited, so which terminal is connected makes no difference. You only need to give the row and column numbers of the power distribution box, instead of giving the specific serial number of the terminal block on the copper bar.
