2 Preparation
2.1 Safety Precaution
The router acts as the critical transfer station of network connections, and its normal service is crucial to the normal
operation of the entire network.
Do not place the device in a watery place and prevent any liquid from entering into it.
Keep the device away from heat sources.
Ensure the normal grounding of device.
Wear an anti-static wrist strap to install and maintain the device.
Do not wear loose clothes to avoid hooking any parts. Before operation, tighten your band, shawl and sleeves.
Keep tools and parts away from the walkway to avoid damage.
Use the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to avoid power failure and other interferences.
If the system time is incorrect, check whether you have set the clock. If the clock is not set, the time may not be
correct; if the clock has been set precisely and the time is still incorrect, the built-in button cell of device may have ran
out, which is typically happened after 10-year service.
Install and use the device in restricted access locations.
Use of wrong battery may cause damage to the device. Do not replace the battery by yourself. Please contact the
technical support for help.
Install and use the device in restricted access locations.
Invite professionals and related technicians to install this type of device.
Where a plug on the power supply cord is used as the disconnect device, the installation instructions shall state that
for pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be easily accessible. For pluggable equipment intended for
installation by an ordinary person, the installation instructions shall be made available to the ordinary person.
2.2 Installation Environment
Ruijie EG series router products are for indoor use only. To ensure normal operation and prolong their service life, the
installation site must meet the following requirements:
2.2.1 Temperature/humidity requirements
To ensure normal operation and prolong the service life of the device, the equipment room must maintain constant
temperature and humidity. If the equipment room is overheated for a long time, the insulation materials may result in
defective insulation and even electric leakage. If the relative humidity is low, the insulation spacer may result in dry
shrinkage, which will make screws looser and easily generate static electricity in the dry environment, thus damaging the
interior circuits on the device. Excessively high temperature will accelerate the aging of insulation materials and
