• Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. In case of an electrical
accident, quickly turn off the power.
• Disconnect power before installing or removing the vEdge router.
• If an electrical accident occurs, use caution and immediately turn off power to the router.
• Make sure that grounding surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and well-finished before grounding connections
are made.
• Do not work alone if hazardous conditions exist.
• Always check that power is disconnected from a circuit. Never assume that it is disconnected.
• Carefully inspect your work area for possible hazards, such as moist floors, worn-out power cords,
ungrounded power extension cords, and missing safety grounds.
• Operate the device within marked electrical ratings and product usage instructions.
• To ensure that the router and the FRUs function safely and correctly, use the specified cables and
connectors, and make certain they are in good condition.
Caution: Before removing or installing router modules and components, ensure that the router chassis is
electrically connected to ground. Ensure that you attach an ESD grounding strap to an ESD point and place
the other end of the strap around your bare wrist making good skin contact. Failure to use an ESD grounding
strap could result in damage to the router.
Note: Some router components are hot-swappable and hot-insertable. You can remove and replace them
without powering off or disconnecting power to the router. Do not, however, install the router or any of its
component if they appear to be damaged.
Prepare for Router Installation
This article provide guidelines and requirements for preparing your site to install the vEdge 2000 router.
Site Preparation Guidelines
Efficient operation of your vEdge 2000 router requires proper site planning and proper layout of your equipment
rack or wiring closet:
• Ensure that the area around the router is kept free of dust and conductive material.
• Follow appropriate airflow guidelines so that the cooling system functions normally.
• Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid any damage to the router.
• Install the router in an enclosed, secure area allowing only authorized personnel to access the device.
Environmental Requirements
Install the vEdge 2000 router in a dry, clean, temperature-controlled, and well-ventilated environment:
• Maintain ambient airflow for the router to operate normally. The ambient intake air temperature should
be in the range 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If the airflow is blocked or if the air intake is too warm,
the router can get overheated.
