Installation Manual Quidway AR 46 Series Routers

Chapter 1 Router Overview

Chapter 1 Router Overview 1.1 Introduction Quidway AR 46 Series Routers are next generation high-performance edge routers that are developed by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as Huawei Technologies). Compared with the traditional Low-and-Mid-Range Routers of Huawei Technologies, they allow of higher forwarding performance and a broader service range. Quidway AR 46 Series Routers offer a more perfect hardware design, supporting Flexible Interface Cards (FICs), hot swappable Power Supply Unit (PSU), and 1+1 power backup. Along with NE Series Routers, AR 46 Series can provide a complete solution for service providers and enterprise networking. Following are the main features of AR 46 Series Routers.

I. Abundant FIC options Tens of FICs are available for Quidway AR 46 Series Routers. Therefore, the user is allowed of great flexibility in card selection and can save the network investment by selecting the needed FICs in a proper quantity.

II. Provision of Ethernet access solution The electrical and fiber (multi-mode and single-mode) FE FICs available for the Router support PPPoE and PPPoEoA that can offer the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) services for Ethernet access, hence satisfying the requirements of government offices and enterprises in broadband access.

III. Provision of ATM and DSL solution Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a simple but highly efficient broadband technology that achieves great data transmission capacity over the existing copper wiring by using the digital code modulation technology. The ADSL and G.HSDSL cards available for AR 46 Series Routers allow the medium-to-small-sized enterprises to access the Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) equipment via Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and then the Internet. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) transmits, multiplexes, and switches information in cells. AR 46 Series Routers provide 25Mbps, 155Mbps, E3, and T3 ATM cards, supporting ATM Adaption Layer Type 5 (AAL5) and offering the traffic services like Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR).

Chapter 1 Router Overview

Hence, such routers are well-suited to the high-speed data service and the transmission of large packets, hence implementing the interconnection between the medium-and-small-sized enterprise networks and the ATM networks.

IV. Provision of MPLS solution Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), a combination of IP and ATM technologies, replaces the IP header with a short and length-fixed label as traffic identifier, based on which each router makes the forwarding decision. Thus, it provides faster forwarding speed, gets support from IP routed protocols and control protocols, and hence meet the requirements that various new applications put on the network. MPLS VPN is a VPN technology that implements the interconnection of private networks via Label Switched Paths (LSPs). As LSP is a tunnel across the public network on its own, MPLS has an intrinsic advantage in terms of VPN implementation. AR 46 Series Routers usually act as Label Edge Routers (LERs) to connect an MPLS domain with non-MPLS domain or connect MPLS domains of different service providers, implementing service classification, label distribution, encapsulation, and multi-label peel-off.

V. Data security and reliability z

Support NAT. Besides some basic functions, the NAT available for AR 46 can limit concurrent connections to a single user, and thus alleviate the negative impact caused by malicious resources occupation without compromising the normal network applications. NAT of AR 46 also provides the ALG (Application Layer Gateway) function to FTP and ICMP.

z

Support the authentication protocols such as PAP, CHAP, data RADIUS, and VoIP RADIUS.

z

Implement packet filter and firewall for preventing the intrusion from an external networks.

z

Support VPN (including GRE, L2TP, and MPLS) and provide IPSec, and IKE, hence ensuring the security of the private networks in an Internet environment.

z

Support the Backup Center and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) technologies, enhancing the robustness and reliability of the network by providing a backup scheme in case of communication line or device failures. So far, backup center supports backup load sharing.

z

Support hot swap of fans, interface cards, and power module to ensure high reliability.

VI. Online software upgrading You are allowed to upgrade the application programs and Boot ROM programs, and add new features and functions on line as needed.

1.4.2 PWR I. Functions The power supply system of Quidway AR 46 Series Routers can work in either single-power or dual-power mode. In dual-power mode, the two PWRs (either supplying DC or AC power) function in a redundant way (that is, loading sharing mode). The input interruption or failure of a PWR will not affect the operation of another PWR, and this operating PWR will provide all the power required by the system. Quidway AR 46 Series Routers provide two types of PWRs, i.e., AC PWR and DC PWR, both providing the output power of 350W. PWR has the functions of overcurrent protection and overvoltage protection. You can connect the PWR to the backplane by inserting it from the rear of router chassis. It is hot swappable and its switchover will not affect the ongoing system operation.

Note: If you want to install an AR 46 Series Router in a communication equipment room, you should make sure that the power distribution cabinet can provide the lightning protection box or arrester against the current of 20KA and above.

1.4.3 FAN I. Functions AR 46-20 and AR 46-40 are configured with six fans that are separated into three groups, and AR 46-80 is configured with eight fans that are separated into four groups. The two fans in a group are working in a redundant way. When all these fans are working normally, the operating temperature of the system can be maintained in the range of 0 to 55oC. As the failure of a fan will not affect the operation of other fans, the system will still be able to operate in the normal temperature. The rotating speed of the fans is controlled by the RPU and is in the range of 50% to 100%. The FAN controller uses two parameters, i.e., low-temperature threshold and high-temperature threshold to control the rotation speed of the fans, with the former corresponding to 100% rotating speed and the latter corresponding to 50% rotating speed. The system will send out rotation stop alarm signals in case any fan fails. The alarm and state LEDs of FAN are located on the RPU front panel.

Installation Manual Quidway AR 46 Series Routers

Chapter 2 Installation Preparation

Chapter 2 Installation Preparation 2.1 General Site Requirements AR 46 Series Routers are intended for indoor use. To ensure the proper working of the routers and prolong their service life, the installation site should meet the requirements described in the following subsections.

2.1.1 Temperature/Humidity Requirements To ensure normal operation and prolong the service life of the Router, the equipment room must maintain adequate temperature and humidity. Long-lasting high moisture is prone to degrade the performance of the insulating material, which may result in electric leakage, leading to metal erosion. If the equipment room is very dry, however, the insulating shim will contract, leading to loosening of the fastening screws. Apart from that, static electricity will be produced, which damages the Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) circuit on the Router. If the equipment is always very hot, the aging process of insulating materials will be accelerated, which will affect the reliability of the Router and even the operational lifetime. The following table lists the requirements of AR 46 Series Routers in temperature and humidity. Table 2-1 Temperature/Humidity requirements in the equipment room Temperature 0oC

to

Relative humidity

40oC

10% to 90%

Note: The values of the operating temperature and humidity in a router equipment refers to the values measured at the position 1.5m above the floor and 0.4m ahead of the router rack, given there are no protective boards in front or at the back of the router rack.

2.1.2 Cleanliness Requirements Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the Router. Dust on the chassis may result in static absorption, thus causing poor contact of the metal connection components or 2-1

Installation Manual Quidway AR 46 Series Routers

Chapter 2 Installation Preparation

points. Especially under the condition of low indoor humidity, the dust is easier to be absorbed, which not only shortens the operational lifetime of the equipment, but also results in communication failure. There should not be explosive, conductive, magnetic and corrosive dust in the equipment room where Quidway AR 46 Series Routers are located, and the dust concentration should meet the following requirements: Table 2-2 Limitation on dust content in equipment room Mechanical active material Dust particle

Unit particle/m³

Content ≤3 x 104 (No visible dust on desk in three days)

Note: Dust particle Diameter ≥ 5µm

Besides the dust specifications, the equipment room of the Router should also meet the rigorous requirements for the content of salt, acid and sulfide. These harmful gases could accelerate the metal erosion and the aging process of some parts. The specific limits of these harmful gases are given in the following table. Table 2-3 Harmful gas limits in an equipment room Gas SO2 H2 S NH3 Cl2

Max. (mg/m3) 0.2 0.006 0.05 0.01

2.1.3 ESD Preventive Requirements Despite careful considerations have been taken in preventing ESD in the design of the Router, excessive static electricity may bring enormous damage to the card circuits and even the entire Router. On the communication network connected to the Router, the static electricity is primarily introduced from the outside electrical fields, such as the outdoor high-voltage power cable and lightning, and from the inside system, such as indoor environment, floor material and the equipment frame. To avoid the damage caused by the static electricity, you should ensure that: z

The equipment is well connected to earth.

z

The equipment room is dust-proof.

z

Keep adequate temperature and humidity.

z

Place the removed circuit board upward on the ESD-preventive workbench, or into a static shielded bag.

z

Hold the circuit board by the outer edge when observing or moving it, so as to avoid direct contact with the elements on it.

2.1.4 Electromagnetic Environment Requirements All interference sources, no matter from the outside of the Router or the application system, or from the inside, will influence the Router negatively in the conduction patterns of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, and common impedance (including grounding system) coupling. To prevent the interference, you should: z

Take effective measures against electricity net interference with the power supply system.

z

Do not use the working ground of the Router together with the grounding or lightning protection grounding device of the power equipment. Separate them as far as possible.

z

Keep the Router far away from strong power wireless launchers, radar launchers and high frequency and high-current equipment.

z

Use electromagnetic shielding if necessary.

2.1.5 Lightning Protection Requirements Despite careful considerations have been taken in lightning protection in the design of the Routers and measures have been adopted, excessive-degree of lightning may still damage the Routers. To achieve the best lightning protection effect, you are recommended to: z

Keep the grounding wire of the PGND of the chassis in good contact with the earth ground.

z

Keep the grounding terminal of the AC power socket in good contact with the earth ground.

z

Add a lightning arrester for power supply onto the front end of the power input in order to protect the power supply from lightning strikes in a more effective way.

z

Add a special lightning protection facility at the input end of the signal cables in order to protect the signal cables led to the outdoors, such as ISDN cable, telephone cable, and E1/T1 cable, from lightning strikes in a more effective way.

2.1.6 Check Workbench Following are the rules that you should observe when installing the Router: z

Leave enough clearance at the air intake vents and air exhausting vents to ensure adequate ventilation of the router chassis.

4.2 Router Configuration Fundamentals 4.2.1 Basic Configuration Procedure In general, the configuration steps are as follows: Step 1: Before configuring a Router, the networking requirements have to be made specific and detail. They include networking purpose, the role of the Router in the network, the division of subnets, the type of the WAN and transmission medium, the network security policy and reliability. Step 2: Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and detail networking diagram. Step 3: Configure the WAN interface of the Router. Firstly, configure the physical operating parameters (such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, baud rate and synchronous clock) of the interface according to the transmission medium of the WAN. For the dial-up interface, you need to configure DCC parameters for it. Secondly, configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the related operating parameters according to the type of the WAN. Step 4: Configure the IP addresses or IPX network number of all the interfaces of the Router according to the division of the subnets. Step 5: Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable the dynamic routing protocol, configure the related operating parameters of the protocol. Step 6: If there is any special security requirement, perform the security configuration for the Router. Step 7: If there is any special reliability requirement, perform the reliability configuration for the Router. Refer to VRP3 Operation Manual for detailed introduction of the protocols or function configuration the Router.

4.2.2 Command Line Interface I. Characteristics of the command line interface The command line interfaces provided by Quidway AR 46 Series Routers include a series of configuration commands, through which a user can configure and manage the router. The command line interface has the following features: z

Performs the local configuration through CON port.

z

Performs the local or remote configuration through the Telnet command, which can be used to directly log on and manage other Routers.

z

Users can enter at any time to get online help.

z

Provide prompt and help information for user’s convenience.

z

Provide network diagnostic tools, such as Tracet and Ping, to quickly diagnose the availability of the network.

z z

Provide all kinds of detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults. The command line interpreter adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the command. Any conflict-free keyword will be interpreted. For example, for the display command, you can just enter .

II. Command line interface Quidway AR 46 Series Router command line interface provides a rich set of configuration commands, which are grouped in system view. A group corresponds a view (see VRP3 Operation Manual for details). You can switch between different views through commands. Normally, only some specific commands can be executed in a certain view, although some common commands (such as ping, display current-configuration, and interface) can be used in every view.

4.2.3 Slot Arrangement and Interface Numbering Rules Quidway AR 46 Router supports various interfaces, such as CON port, AUX port, Ethernet port, (synchronous/asynchronous) Serial port, Asynchronous port, and voice port (FXO/FXS). The interfaces are configured in the order of sequence number. 1)

Figure 4-8 AR 46-80 Router slot arrangement 2)

Interface numbering rule

AR 46 interfaces are numbered in three dimensions. The rules are as follows: z

The interfaces are numbered in the interface-type X/Y/Z format, in which, interface specifies the interface type (as serial, asynchronous, ethernet or ATM, etc.), X specifies the slot number, Y specifies the pinch board number (or is fixed as 0 when there is no pinch board), and Z specifies the interface sequence number.

z

As shown in the above figure, different interfaces of an interface module share the

z

For every interface, Y starts from 0 and Z indicates the interface sequence (from

same slot number X. left to right) on the interface module. z

For example, 1FE and 2FE modules are installed in SLOT1 and SLOT2 of AR 46-20 Router respectively. The Ethernet ports are arranged as follows:

z

Fixed Ethernet ports are Ethernet 0/0/0 and Ethernet 0/0/1;

z

Ethernet port of 1FE module is Ethernet 1/0/0;

z

Ethernet ports of 2FE module are Ethernet 2/0/0 and Ethernet 2/0/1.

8.2 Remove and Install FIC

Caution: 1) The shielding fingers on the front panel of FIC achieve special electromagnetic shielding effect for the whole Router. Please ensure their integrity when uninstalling or replacing an FIC and never damage them. 2) If you do not want to install a new FIC after removing the old one, install a blank filter panel to keep off the dust and ensure the adequate ventilation of the Router. 3) Quidway AR 46 Series Routers support on-line removal. Thus, you can remove or install FICs when the router is running without shutting down the power supply and removing the power cable. But you must first execute the remove slot command before removing FICs, otherwise, some unknown errors might occur. However, you do not need to execute the undo remove slot command when you reinstall the removed FICs. 4) If you unintentionally execute the remove slot command, you can cancel that operation by using the undo remove slot command.

Before installing the FICs, please read Chapter 2 Installation Preparations carefully.

I. Installation tools ESD-preventive wrist strap

II. Remove FIC Step 1: Place the Router with the front panel forward. Step 2: Remove the cables connected to the FIC. Step 3: Loosen the captive screws at both sides of the FIC. Step 4: Pull the ejector levers at both sides of the FIC outward, pull the FIC out of the slot along the guides until disengaging it totally from the slot.

III. Install FIC Step 1: Place the Router with the front panel forward. Step 2: Align the remote edge of the FIC with the slot edge, push it into the slot, pull the ejector levers inward until it presses against the FIC panel (the angles thus formed between the FIC panel and the levers are the minimum angles). Step 3: Fix the FIC in the chassis by fastening the captive screws. Repeat these steps to install all the other FICs. 8-3

Figure 8-3 Ethernet cable

II. Make Ethernet cable Ethernet cable uses the category-5 twisted pair composed of eight cores that are identified and grouped by their insulation layer colors. Usually a unicolor wire and the white/unicolor wire for it are in pairs. But sometimes, color dots are used to indicate which wires belong in pairs. Ethernet cables fit into two categories, i.e., straight-through cables and crossover cables. Straight-through cable: The sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ45 connectors at both ends are the same. It is used for connecting a terminal device (e.g., PC and router) to a HUB or LAN Switch. The cables delivered with the router are straight-through cables. Crossover cable: The wire sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ45 connectors at both ends are different. It is used for connecting two terminal devices (e.g., PC and router).Users can make it as needed.

Note: 1) When preparing network cables, please use shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables so long they are available for the sake of electromagnetic compatibility. 2) The interface cables in the standard configuration of RT-FIC-FE cards are straight-through cables.

8.4.5 Connect Interface Cable Step 1: If the Ethernet cable is a straight-through cable, plug one end of the cable into an Ethernet port on the RT-FIC-FE card, and another end to a HUB or LAN Switch. Step 2: Power on the Router and check the status of the LINK LED on the RT-FIC-FE panel. ON means that the link has been connected and OFF means that the link is not connected. In the latter case, check the line.

Caution: You must connect a cable to the interface with the appropriate mark. Misplugging is prone to impair the interface card and even damage the router mainframe.

8.5 RT-FIC-1MFX/RT-FIC-1SFX 8.5.1 Introduction RT-FIC-1MFX provides one 100Mbps Ethernet multi-mode fiber interface. RT-FIC-1SFX provides one 100Mbps Ethernet single mode fiber interface. The high reliability and sound transmission quality intrinsic to optical fibers enable RT-FIC-1MFX and RT-FIC-1SFX to easily accomplish the communications between the Router and a LAN. The interface can work in megabit full-duplex mode.

Note: In terms of transmission mode, optical fibers fall into multi-mode optical fiber and single-mode optical fiber. 1) Single-mode optical fiber has very thin core, and transmits only in single mode on a given wavelength. It features wide band and large transmission capacity. 2) Multi-mode optical fiber can make the transmission in multiple modes on a given wavelength. In multi-mode, lights of different modes are transmitted at different speeds, resulting in phase distortion and hence limiting the transmission band. In terms of fiber core size, there are two types of multi-mode optical fibers, i.e., 62.5µm and 50µm, which are acceptable transmission media in ISO/IEC 11801 standard.

Figure 8-6 Appearance of SC optical fiber connector

Note: Optical fiber connector is defined by ITU recommendations as the passive component used to stably but not permanently connect two or more optical fibers. Optical fiber connectors are the passive components indispensable to the optical fiber communications system in the sense that they make it possible to perform the pluggable connections between optical channels. There are many types of optical fiber connectors, such as: 1) FC: Round-shape threaded optical fiber connector 2) ST: Round-shape plug-in optical fiber connector 3) SC: Square optical fiber connector 4) MT-RJ: Square transceiving optical fiber connector

Note: The two types of optical fibers are optional, and you need to select the desired fibers when purchasing RT-FIC-1MFX and RT-FIC-1SFX, otherwise, they are not provided.

8.5.5 Connect Interface Optical Fiber

Caution: When connecting optical fiber, please note: 1) Do not bend optical fiber with excessive stress. The bend radius should be no less than 10 cm. 2) Ensure that the Tx terminal and the Rx terminal of the interface are connected correctly. 3) Keep the sectional surface of optical fiber clean and free from dust.

8.7 RT-FIC-2SAE/ RT-FIC-4SAE/ RT-FIC-8SAE 8.7.1 Introduction RT-FIC-2SAE/ RT-FIC-4SAE/ RT-FIC-8SAE stands for 2-/4-/8-port enhanced high-speed sync/async serial interface card. The cards functions mainly to transmit, receive, and process the data on the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface. They support both synchronous and asynchronous modes. In the former case, they support the DTE/DCE mode.

I. Introduction to DTE and DCE An RT-FIC-SA card is usually connected to an external modem for the dialing purpose. In this case, an appropriate baud rate must be set. The synchronous serial interface can work in either DTE or DCE mode. Two devices directly connected should work as DTE and DCE respectively. The DCE device provides the synchronization clock and specifies communication rate, and the DTE device accepts the synchronization clock and communicates at the specified rate. The Router normally works as a DTE. To know whether the specific equipment connected with the Router is DTE or DCE, please refer to the manual shipped with the equipment.

II. Speed and transmission distance of synchronous/asynchronous serial interface In different operating modes, the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface supports different electric signal specifications and baud rates. In addition, the maximum signal transmission distance not only depends on the specified baud rate but also the selected cable. The following table shows how the cable type, baud rate, and the maximum signal transmission distance related to each other.

II. Interface cable of RT-FIC-4E1/RT-FIC-4E1-F RT-FIC-4E1 and RT-FIC-4E1-F provide two types of 1-to-4 adapter cables, that is, 120-ohm 4E1 adapter cable and 75-ohm 4E1 adapter cable. At one end of both these two types of cables is the DB25 connector used for connecting the Router, and at the other end are four DB15 connectors used for connecting E1 cables. You can distinguish these two types of cables by the main labels. The identifier printed on the main label of 120-ohm 4E1 adapter cables is “4E1-120Ohm-CAB“ whereas the identifier of 75-ohm 4E1 conversion cable is “4E1-75Ohm-CAB”. The two types of cables have a similar appearance, as illustrated in the following figures. However, the 75-ohm 4E1 adapter cable uses 8-core coaxial cables but the 120-ohm 4E1 adapter cable uses four twisted-pair cables.

Thus, high-speed data communications and Video on Demand (VoD) can be fulfilled. As ADSL uses the High Frequency (HF) band upper than 26 KHz for data transmission, its activities will not interfere the voice service (which occupies the Low Frequency (LF) band in the range of 0 to 4 KHz) implemented over the same line. Normally, the subscriber can be provided with a speed in the range of 32 Kbps to 8 Mbps (downlink rate) and a speed in the range of 32 Kbps to 1 Mbps (uplink rate). ADSL interface cards function in the system primarily to provide ADSL interfaces for the Router. They can: Allow manual activation/deactivation of ADSL line, and support SAR loopback, which facilitates fault isolation. Support interface standards of G. DMT, G. Lite, and T1.413 and the configuration of auto-sensing. Support network lattice coding (except for G. Lite) on ADSL interfaces, enhancing the stability of ADSL connections.

ADSL is the acronym of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber's Loop and ISDN is the acronym of Integrated Services Digital Network. RJ11 interfaces provided by RT-FIC-ADSL-I deliver the function of a WAN interface. They allow LAN subscribers to be directly connected to Digital Subscriber’s Loop Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs) at central offices by using regular analog subscriber lines. From DSLAMs, they gain the access to an ATM/IP backbone or the Internet. In this way, subscribers may enjoy high-speed data communication and VoD services. RT-FIC-ADSL-I transmits data using the high-frequency band above 138KHz without affecting ISDN services. Normally, RT-FIC-ADSL-I can provide subscribers with a speed in the range from 32kbps to 8Mbps (downlink rate) and a speed in the range from 32kbps to 1Mbps (uplink rate). RT-FIC-ADSL-I functions to support: Manual ADSL line activation/deactivation and easy-to-use fault location tools; G.992.1 interface standard and auto-sensing; Trellis coding on ADSL interfaces, enhancing the stability of ADSL connections.

8.21 RT-FIC-1G.SHDSL/2G.SHDSL/4G.SHDSL 8.21.1 Introduction RT-FIC-1G.SHDSL/2G.SHDSL/4G.SHDSL represents 1-port/2-port/4-port Single-Pair High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line cards. G.SHDSL adopts the Trellis Coded Pulse Amplitude Modulation (TCPAM) approach and can provide the symmetric speed as high as 2.3 Mbps. Its transmission speed can automatically adapt to cable length and conditions. Compared with ADSL, G.SHDSL allows longer transmission distance and as such, can serve a wider range of applications. It can substitute for E1/T1 lines to provide high-speed data service access. However, as TCPAM uses the band starting from 0Hz for data transmission, G.SHDSL cannot share the same line with POTS or ISDN just like what ADSL has done. RT-FIC-1G.SHDSL/2G.SHDSL/4G.SHDSL function to support: Manual G.SHDSL line activation/deactivation and easy-to-use fault location tools; G.992.1 interface standard and auto-sensing.

II. Drilling hole The pressure plate is installed on the floor with M12 expansion bolts. Generally, use a percussion drill with Φ16 bit to drill holes. When using the percussion drill, be sure to make the bit perpendicular to the floor. Hold the drill handle firmly with both hands to control the direction. Do not shake the drill to prevent damages to the floor or tilted holes. The depth of the hole should be within the range from 52mm to 60mm. Moreover, the depth of each hole should be the same. Clean the hole before measuring the net-depth. When a hole is drilled, use a dust collector to clean the dust. If it is difficult to position the drill bit because the floor is too hard and smooth, make a pit at the hole-mark with a punch to help position the bit. Marking-out and hole drilling jobs are the fundamental work for hardware installation. Any bad precision will cause great inconvenience for the follow-up jobs. Therefore, it is very important to ensure their quality.

Caution: Keep the depth of drilling between 52mm and 60mm. Otherwise, the expansion bolt cannot be installed and fastened normally.

III. Installing expansion bolts Prior to installation, clean the dust inside and outside the hole with dust collector and then measure the spacing of holes. If the inaccuracy is great, relocate and drill before installing expansion bolt. Take down the expansion tube and expansion nut, and put them into the hole vertically (in advance, the guide rib on the expansion nut has to be inserted into the guide trough of expansion tube), and then punch the expansion tube with rubber hammer until the whole expansion tube is completely driven into the floor. The following diagram is the diagram of expansion tube and expansion nut installation.

Appendix A Installation of B68 Cabinet

When using the percussion drill, be sure to hold the bit perpendicularly to the floor. Hold the drill handle firmly with both hands to control the direction. Do not shake the drill to prevent damage of the floor or tilted holes. The depth of the hole should be within the range from 52mm to 60mm. The depth of each hole should be the same. Clean the hole before measuring the net-depth. When a hole is drilled, a dust collector is used to clean the dust. If it is difficult to position the drill bit because the floor is too hard and smooth, make a pit at the hole-mark with a chisel to help position the bit. Marking-out and hole drilling jobs are the fundamental work for hardware installation. Any bad precision will cause great inconvenience for the follow-up jobs. Therefore, it is very important to ensure their quality.

Caution: Keep the depth of drilling between 52mm and 60mm. Otherwise, the expansion bolt cannot be installed and fastened normally.

A.3.5 Rack installation I. Install expansion tube and expansion nut Prior to installation, clean the dust inside and outside the hole with dust collector and then measure the spacing of holes. If the inaccuracy is great, relocate and drill before installing expansion bolt. Take down the expansion tube and expansion nut, and put them into the hole vertically (in advance, the guide rib on the expansion nut has to be inserted into the guide trough of expansion tube), and then punch the expansion tube with rubber hammer until the whole expansion tube is completely driven into the floor. See Figure B-25 for the installation of expansion tube and expansion nut.

Caution: The guide rib of expansion nut must be inserted in advance into the guide trough of the expansion tube, or the expansion bolt cannot be installed and fastened normally.

II. Adjust rack height According to the floor height measured and the height silk-screen mark of antistatic floor on the rack, adjust all racks to the estimated height and fasten the tight-retaining bolt to 45 Nm with a torque spanner. Fasten the middle bolts, and then the side bolts, as shown in Figure B-26.

III. Install and fix the rack Clean the floor and rack surface, align the rack installation hole with the corresponding expansion bolt according to Figure B-26 and fix the rack on the floor with the bolt, spring washer and big flat washer. The fastening force moment should be 45 Nm. The bolts used to fix the rack should be fastened in diagonally in sequence to reduce the stress between the bolts and rack. It is also for the convenience of adjusting the rack during the installation. Install other racks according to the above method. See Figure B-26 for the diagram of the connection between the rack and floor.

A.3.6 Install slide rail I. Install T nut Before the slide rail is installed, you should put the T nuts into the lower trough of the slide rails. The T nuts are used to fix the slide rails, and the floor bracket fixing plate. Each cabinet needs four T nuts in each of the slide rail (two of them are used for floor bracket assemblies). Otherwise, after the slide rail is installed, the T nuts cannot be installed. The outline of type T nut is shown in Figure B-27. There are four sets of floor bracket fixing plates for each cabinet, two on each of the slide rail.

Level and fix slide rail

Fix the slide rail on the rack with T nut, flat washer, spring washer and bolt M12×20. The installation is shown in Figure B-28.

Caution: The slide rail should be installed with the slide shield facing outward according to Figure B-28.

First screw the bolt M12×20 with spring washer and flat washer (do not tighten the screws at this time, just make sure they will not drop down), then insert the bolts into the rack holes in sequence, then measure (in transverse and longitudinal directions) the segments of the slide rail with a horizontal ruler to check whether the bubble in the horizontal ruler is in the middle. The level can be adjusted by adding or removing the washers. If it is horizontal, screw tightly the bolts in sequence and measure the horizontality again, as shown in Figure B-29. If the horizontality changes, you should loosen the screws and adjust by adding or removing the washers. The process is the same as the above-described one. After the slide rail is installed, the following requirements should be met: z

A single slide rail should be horizontal on longitudinal direction.

z

Two parallel slide rails should be horizontal in transverse direction.

z

The distance between the central lines of two parallel slide rails should be 720mm!1mm.

When checked with a straight line, multiple slide rails interconnected should also form a straight line. No gap or height difference should exist between the joints.
