Preparing for installation Safety recommendations 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. CAUTION means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in data loss, data corruption, or damage to hardware or software.
Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical • property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts. Lasting low relative humidity is likely to result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and even • ESD, which causes the circuits to fail.

Figure 8 Installing cage nuts Repeat step 2 to install other cage nuts to all the marked positions on the rack posts. Attach the mounting brackets to the router and fasten the screws. Figure 9 Attaching the mounting brackets Place the router in the rack and secure the chassis to the rack by attaching the mounting brackets with pan head screws to the front rack posts.
Figure 10 Securing the router to the rack Installing the router on a wall Mark the locations of the two mounting holes on the wall. Make sure the holes are level and the distance between the two holes is 240 mm (9.45 in). Drill the two holes at least 22 mm (0.87 in) deep.
Figure 11 Mounting the router on a wall Grounding the router WARNING! Correctly connecting the router grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. IMPORTANT: The resistance reading should be less than 5 ohms between the chassis and the ground. The MSR 26-00- 1 0 router, MSR 26-00- 1 7 router, and MSR 26-30 router each comes with a grounding cable.
Wear the insulation covering on the grounding cable as shown in Figure 12. Insert the bare metal part of the grounding cable to the end of the ring terminal. Use the needle-nose pliers to secure the metal part of the cable to the ring terminal end. Cover the joint with the insulation covering.
Page 25
Figure 13 Connecting the grounding cable to router Remove the hex nut from the grounding post of the grounding point on the rack. Bend a hook at the other end of the grounding cable by using the needle-nose pliers, and use the hex nut to attach the hook to the grounding post.
Grounding the router with a grounding strip If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the grounding strip. Follow the same procedures in "Grounding the router through the rack" to connect the grounding cable to the grounding strip.

To install a 3G SIM card: Remove the screw of the 3G SIM card socket cover on the router bottom and take off the cover. Figure 16 Removing the 3G SIM card socket cover Push the 3G SIM card holder in the direction marked "OPEN" so the holder projects upwards. Do not insert the 3G SIM card to the card holder before projecting the card holder up or lift the holder forcibly.
Figure 18 Installing the 3G SIM card Position the 3G SIM card socket cover and fasten the screws on the cover. Figure 19 Installing the 3G SIM card socket cover Installing a 3G antenna One 3G antenna per 3G module is provided with the router. Purchase one if you need to install two antennas.
Change the antenna orientation to vertical to achieve better signal coverage. Figure 20 Installing a 3G antenna Connecting a 3G/4G antenna extension cable to a 3G router Only the MSR 26-00-5 router supports 3G/4G antenna extension cable installation. A 3G/4G antenna extension cable is not provided with the router.
Installing a 4G SIM card CAUTION: To avoid damage to the 4G SIM card holder, do not use excessive force when installing the 4G SIM card. Do not hot-swap a 4G SIM card. The LM-model router supports both LTE as well as TD-SCDMA and WCDMA. To install a 4G SIM card: Remove the screw of the 4G SIM card socket cover on the router bottom and take off the cover.
Figure 24 Installing the 4G SIM card Position the 4G SIM card socket cover and fasten the screws on the cover. Figure 25 Installing the 4G SIM card socket cover Installing a 4G antenna Change the angle of the antenna orientation from vertical to horizontal. Attach the antenna to the router, as shown in Figure 26.
Figure 26 Installing a 4G antenna Connecting a 3G/4G antenna extension cable to a 4G router A 3G/4G antenna extension cable is not provided with the router. To use a 3G/4G antenna extension cable, purchase it separately. To install a 3G/4G antenna extension cable: Thread the male connector of the cable through the hole on the bracket, and use screws (from behind the bracket) to secure the male connector to the bracket.
Installing an interface module Installing a SIC CAUTION: SICs are not hot swappable. Make sure the router is powered off before installing a SIC. Do not install a SIC on an MSR 26-00-5 router. To install a SIC: Remove the fastening screws with a Phillips screwdriver to remove the blank filler panel. Keep the removed blank filler panel for future use.
Page 34
You can only install DSICs on an MSR 26-30 router. To install a DSIC: Remove the screws on the blank filler panels in slot 1 and slot 2 of the router to remove the blank filler panels. Figure 30 Removing the blank filler panels Loosen the captive screws on the slot divider and pull out the slot divider.
Connect the router to the network before powering on the router. This section describes how to connect the copper Ethernet port on the router to the network through Ethernet cables. For other connection methods, see H3C MSR Series Routers Interface Module User Guide. To connect an Ethernet cable: Plug one end of an Ethernet twisted pair cable into the copper Ethernet port (RJ-45 port) of the router.
