NOTE The installation accessory package of an AR120/AR150/AR160/AR200 series router does not include
the console cable or mounting brackets.
Items and quantities in the installation accessory package vary depending on the product model.
Safety Guidelines
To ensure personal and equipment safety, observe all the safety precautions on the router and
in this document. and items do not cover all the safety precautions and are only
WARNING CAUTION
WARNING AR series enterprise routers are class A products. In a domestic environment, these products may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
CAUTION During router transport and installation, prevent the router from colliding with objects like doors, walls, or shelves.
During installation and maintenance, take ESD protection measures, for example, wear ESD gloves or an ESD wrist
strap. There should be sufficient space around the router for heat dissipation. Leave at least 50 mm clearance at
two sides and rear of the router.
If multiple routers are installed in a cabinet, leave at least 1 U distance between each two routers (1 U = 44.45 mm).
NOTE The installation, connection, and login methods of AR series enterprise routers are similar. This document uses the
AR1220 AC router as an example. For more information, see the Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide.
The router appearance in this document is for reference only and may differ from the actual appearance.
Site Environment
Do not place the router in an environment with flammable or explosive gases, or
electromagnetic interference.
Do not place the router in a dusty environment.
The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, or heavy dew. If the relative
humidity is high, use dehumidifiers or air conditioners with dehumidification features.
The installation site must be well ventilated.

Installing the Router
Scenario 1: Desk Mounting
NOTE Only the AR120/AR150/AR160/AR200 series routers and AR1200 series routers can be desk-mounted.
Do not stack routers on top of or closely next to each other.
Do not place other objects on the router.
NOTE Only the AR120/AR150/AR160/AR200 series routers and AR1200 series routers can be wall-mounted.
The distance between two installation holes of the AR120/AR150/AR160/AR200 series routers is 130 mm.
The distance between two installation holes of the AR1200 series routers is 270 mm.
The panel with interfaces must face down to protect the interfaces from water.

Cabinets purchased from other vendors must be at least 3 U high and over 600 mm deep. When the AR2240,
AR2240C, AR3260, or AR3670 is installed in a 600 mm cabinet, the cabinet doors must be single-swing doors.
When installing an AR2204, AR2220E, AR2204-51GE-P, AR2204-27GE-P, AR2204-27GE, or AR2204E with front
and rear mounting brackets, ensure that the distance between front and rear mounting rails is within the
If the distance between front and rear mounting brackets is not within the required range, install guide rails or
a tray in the cabinet to support the router. Guide rails or trays are not delivered with the product and must be
purchased separately.
NOTE The applicable mounting brackets and their installation methods differ on various product models. Use appropriate
mounting brackets for each specific model.
You need to install rear mounting bracket guide rails for the AR2204, AR2220E, AR2204-51GE-P, AR2204-27GE-P,
AR2204-27GE and AR2204E. The guide rails are delivered with them.
The AR2220, AR2240, AR2240C, AR3260 and AR3670 is heavier than other models. Before installing the AR2220,
AR2240, AR2240C, AR3260 and AR3670, install L-shaped guide rails or trays(separately purchased).
Cabinet mounting is not recommended for Wi-Fi-capable routers.
If routers with the LTE or 3G function are installed in a cabinet, use indoor remote antennas for the routers. Install
indoor remote antennas on the primary LTE or 3G interfaces on the routers.

NOTE Distances between mounting holes on a mounting rail are different, so the
length of three mounting holes may not 1 U. Observe the scale ticks on the
mounting rails carefully when installing floating nuts.
For the AR2204, AR2220E, AR2204-51GE-P, AR2204-27GE-P, AR2204-27GE,
and AR2204E, install four floating nuts on rear mounting rails. Align the
floating nuts on the rear mounting rails with the floating nuts on the front
mounting rails.

Installing Cards
The following table lists cards supported by the AR router.
SIC panel
WSIC panel
XSIC panel
SRU panel

CAUTION Before installing a card, check whether the router is correctly grounded.
Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves.
Install filler panels in vacant slots to ensure electromagnetic shielding in compliance with Electro Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC) and efficient heat dissipation.
NOTE The methods for installing SIC/WSIC/XSIC/SRU cards into SIC/WSIC/XSIC/SRU slots are the same. This example describes
how to install a SIC card.

2 Horizontally push the SIC card along the guide rail of the SIC slot and close the ejector levers.
NOTE Slots on the router can be combined to form larger slots. Two SIC slots can be combined into one WSIC slot; two SIC
slots and the WSIC slot below them can be combined into one XSIC slot by removing the guide rail; two XSIC slots can
be combined into one SRU slot by removing the guide rail. The following example describes how to combine two SIC
slots to install a WSIC card.
