Details standard warning statements relevant to installation procedures, including cautions and regulatory compliance statements for NEBS environments to ensure adherence to safety and regulatory requirements.

Before you begin, inspect all items for shipping damage. If anything appears to be damaged or if you encounter problems installing or configuring your router, contact customer service.

Take a note of these warning statements:
Warning

Statement 7003—Shielded Cable Requirements for Intrabuilding Lightning Surge

The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intrabuilding cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends.

The following port(s) are considered intrabuilding ports on this equipment:

Gigabit Ethernet WAN port

Warning

Statement 7005—Intrabuilding Lightning Surge and AC Power Fault

The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring for more than 6 meters (approximately 20 feet). These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2, 4, or 4a ports as described in GR-1089) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to an OSP wiring system.

The following ports are considered intrabuilding ports on the equipment:

Gigabit Ethernet WAN port

Note

Statement 7018—System Recover Time

The equipment is designed to boot up in less than 30 minutes provided the neighboring devices are fully operational.

Note

Statement 7004—Special Accessories Required to Comply with GR-1089 Emission and Immunity Requirements

To comply with the emission and immunity requirements of GR-1089, shielded cables are required for the following ports:

Gigabit Ethernet WAN port

Note

Statement 7013—Equipment Grounding Systems—Common Bonding Network (CBN)

This equipment is suitable for installations using the CBN.

Note

Statement 8015—Installation Location Network Telecommunications Facilities

This equipment is suitable for installation in network telecommunications facilities.

Cautions and regulatory compliance statements for NEBS

The following table lists cautions, regulatory compliance statements, and requirements for the Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) certification.

Note

Statement 7015—Equipment Bonding and Grounding

When you use thread-forming screws to bond equipment to its mounting metalwork, remove any paint and nonconductive coatings and clean the joining surfaces. Apply an antioxidant compound before joining the surfaces between the equipment and mounting metalwork.

Note

Statement 8015—Installation Location Network Telecommunications Facilities

This equipment is suitable for installation in network telecommunications facilities.

Note

Statement 8016—Installation Location Where the National Electric Code (NEC) Applies

This equipment is suitable for installation in locations where the NEC applies.

Note

An electrical conducting path shall exist between the product chassis and the metal surface of the enclosure or rack in which it is mounted or to a grounding conductor. Electrical continuity shall be provided by using thread-forming type mounting screws that remove any paint or non-conductive coatings and establish a metal-to-metal contact. Any paint or non-conductive coatings shall be removed on the surface between the mounting hardware and the enclosure or rack. The surfaces shall be cleaned and an antioxidant applied before installation.
