Prerequisites for installing the router
The following are required before you can install, commission, and register the satellite router:
• The antenna and radio assembly must be installed, as instructed in the antenna installation
guide. (However, you point the antenna as part of the router commissioning process, which
is explained later in this installation guide.)
• The IFL cables must be installed and connected to the satellite router and to the radio
assembly (LNB and transmitter).
See also Items required for installation on page 8 and Related components on page 11.
Selecting the router installation location
Select a location for the satellite router that will accommodate all required cable connections,
including connection to the power source.
Ventilation and heat sources
Make sure the installation location meets the following requirements concerning ventilation and
heat sources.
• Do not block any of the router’s ventilation openings.
• Leave 6 inches of space around the top and sides of the router to ensure adequate ventilation
and prevent overheating.
• Do not place the router near a heat source such as direct sunlight, a radiator, heat register
or vent, oven, stove, amplifier, or other apparatus that produces heat.
Router operating position
Install and operate the HN9400 router only in the upright vertical
position as shown in Figure 4: HN9400 in vertical position on page 17. Any other position
could result in insufficient ventilation, overheating, and malfunction.
