NSTALLATION
This chapter describes how to install and prepare the Alcatel OmniAccess 601, OmniAccess
602, and OmniAccess 604 router for operation. Information is also provided describing the
system front and back panels, operator interface, how to mount the chassis, and how to
connect network and power cables.
Before you install the OmniAccess 601, OmniAccess 602, and OmniAccess 604, familiarize
yourself with the network interface and power connections described in this chapter.
Site Preparation
Before installing a Alcatel OmniAccess 601, OmniAccess 602, and OmniAccess 604 router,
ensure that the site conditions comply with the following requirements and that the mounting
equipment, tools, and cables are available at the installation site.
Environment
Site location is important for the proper operation of the OmniAccess 601, OmniAccess 602,
and OmniAccess 604 router. Place the unit in a clean, dry environment with adequate air
circulation. Allow additional clearance around the system for foot traffic and access to cable
connectors on the rear panel.
Figure 7 shows the convection cooling vents on top of the unit. To prevent an
over-temperature condition, which could result in system failure or performance degradation,
make sure that these vents are not obstructed.
NOTE:
In normal operation, the router will be “warm to the touch.”

CAUTION:
Do not stack routers on top of each other. Doing so will defeat the convection cooling ability
of the router and such action could lead to equipment damage.
Refer to Appendix A for more information about environmental requirements.
