Installing the AR750S
Selecting a Site
You can install the router on a level surface such as a desktop or bench, in a
standard 19-inch rack using an optional rack mount kit, or on a firm wall using an
optional wall mount kit, both ordered from your authorised distributor or
reseller.
When you install the router, choose a site that:
■ allows adequate airflow around the router and its vents.
■ is free of dust and moisture.
■ will maintain an ambient temperature range of 0º C to 50º C
(32º F to 122º F) and a humidity range of 5% to 80% non-condensing.
■ has a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply, preferably dedicated
and filtered.
■ does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise such as radio
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and
fluorescent fixtures.
■ allows easy access to the router’s power and cable connections.
Before installing
■ Read the safety information
.
■ Gather the tools and equipment you will need
To install the router in a rack you will need a rack mount bracket kit.
(Order this from your authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller.)
You will also need a Phillips #1 screwdriver, and screws and cage nuts to
attach the brackets to your rack. (
Installing the AR750S router in a rack
To install the router on a wall you will need a wall mount bracket kit
(ordered from your authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller), a
Phillips #1 screwdriver and a Phillips #2 screwdriver. If you are fixing the
router to a solid masonry or hollow wall, you need equipment to drill a
6 mm hole. The wall mount brackets are supplied with screws and plugs to
fasten the brackets to a masonry or plasterboard wall. If you are fixing it to
a wooden wall, the screws are self-tapping. (
