vEdge 100 Router
Site Preparation Guidelines
Efficient operation of routers 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.
Airflow Requirements
When planning your site for installing vEdge routers, allow enough clearance around the installed router.
Since the routers work with a front-to-back airflow there are no clearance requirements for the sides, but it is
recommended that you provide at least 3 inches of clearance at the back.
Install the vEdge 100 Router
Once you have prepared your site for router installation, unpack the vEdge 100 router and mount it either on
the wall or in a 19-inch rack.
Unpack the vEdge 100 Router
A vEdge 100 router is shipped in a cardboard carton and secured firmly in place with foam packing material.
The carton contains a packing list and Quick Start instructions. It is recommended that you do not unpack the
router till you are ready to install it.
To unpack the router:
1. Open the top flaps of the carton.
2. Gradually remove the packing foam holding the router and the accessories in place. See Figure 1.
3. Take out the router and each accessory.
4. Verify the router components against the packing list included in the box (see packing list below).
