BJNGA-BB0039 IMPORTANT: For regulatory identification purposes, every MSR954 router is assigned a regulatory model number (RMN). These regulatory model numbers should not be confused with the marketing name HP MSR954 or the product code. Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before installation.
Electricity safety Locate the external power switch in the room before installation. Shut off the power immediately if an accident occurs. Make sure the router is reliably grounded. Do not remove and install the chassis cover when the router is operating. ...
Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including loose captive screws and circuit failure. High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the router. Table 2 Temperature/humidity requirements in the equipment room Temperature Relative humidity...
Electromagnetic wave radiation. Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling. To prevent EMI, perform the following tasks: If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to filter interference from the power grid. Keep the router far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency ...
Pre-installation checklist Item Requirements There is a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.9 in) around the air inlet and outlet vents. Ventilation An adequate ventilation system is available at the installation site. Temperature 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) Relative humidity 5% to 90% (noncondensing) Dust concentration ≤...

Figure 3 Installation flowchart Installing the router Mounting the router on a workbench IMPORTANT: Make sure the workbench is clean, stable, and reliably grounded. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.9 in) around the router for heat dissipation. ...
Figure 4 Mounting the router on a workbench Mounting the router on a wall Mark two screw hole locations on the wall. Make sure the two holes are 160 mm (6.30 in) horizontally apart. Drill holes with a minimum depth of 22 mm (0.87 in) in the marked locations. Use a hammer to tap an anchor into each hole until the anchor end is flush with the wall.
Figure 5 Wall-mounting the router ≥ 22 mm (0.87 in) ≥ 1.5 mm (0.06 in) Installing the router in a rack CAUTION: The mounting brackets can support only the weight of the router. Do not place objects on the router. To install the router in a rack: Use a mounting bracket to mark the cage nut installation holes in the front rack posts, as shown Figure...

Attach mounting brackets to both sides of the router, as shown in Figure Figure 8 Attaching mounting brackets to the router Use M6 screws to attach the mounting brackets on the router to the front rack posts, as shown Figure Figure 9 Securing the router to the rack...
Grounding the router CAUTION: Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. When you install and use the router, first ground the router reliably. Ensure a minimum resistance of 5 ohms between the router and the ground. The router provides only a ring terminal.
Figure 11 Grounding the router by burying a grounding conductor in the earth ground Installing a 4G SIM card CAUTION: Do not hot-swap a 4G SIM card. To avoid damaging the SIM card slot, do not use excessive force when installing a 4G SIM card. ...
Installing a Micro SD card CAUTION: To avoid damaging the Micro SD card slot, do not use excessive force when you install a Micro SD card. To install a Micro SD card: Remove the screw on the Micro SD card slot cover and take off the cover. Insert the Micro SD card into the Micro SD card slot along the guide rails.
Figure 14 Installing 4G antennas Installing a WLAN antenna Only the JH297A, JH298A, and JH299A routers support WLAN antennas. To install a WLAN antenna: Change the angle of the antenna orientation from vertical to horizontal. Attach the antenna to the WLAN antenna port on the router. Do not over-tighten the antenna to avoid damage.
Figure 16 Installing a GPS antenna Connecting Ethernet interface cables Connect one end of the cable to an Ethernet port on the router. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on a host. Examine the port LEDs on the router. For more information about the LEDs, see "LED description."...

To connect the console cable: Select a configuration terminal, which can be an ASCII terminal with an RS232 serial port or a PC. (A PC is more commonly used.) Connect the DB-9 connector (female) of the console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the configuration terminal and the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the router.
