This hardware installation guide describes how to set up and install the Cisco MGX 8850, Cisco MGX 8850/B, Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830 and Cisco MGX 8830/B switches. It also describes how to setup and install the MGX 8880 Media Gateway.
After completing the installation procedures covered in this guide, refer to the appropriate related documents to configure the switch or gateway. Refer to “Documentation” later in this preface for guidance on which documents to use.
Organization
This guide is organized as follows:
•Chapter 1, “Product Overviews,” provides an overview of the MGX switches, MGX media gateway, and their related components.
•Chapter 2, “Illustrated Card List for MGX Switches and the MGX 8880 Media Gateway,” provides an overview of all cards used in Cisco MGX switches and the MGX 8880 Media Gateway from MGX software Releases 2 through 5.1.
•Chapter 3, “Preparing for Installation,” lists site specifications and tools required for installing each switch or gateway and its related components.
•Chapter 4, “Planning for Card Redundancy, Line Redundancy, and Bulk Distribution,” describes how to plan for card redundancy, line redundancy, and bulk distribution.

Notes, Warnings, and Cautions
This section explains the conventions used for notes, warnings, and cautions.
Note A Note highlights helpful information, such as suggestions or references to material not covered in the guide.
Tip A Tip contains information that might help you solve a problem or save time.
Caution A Caution emphasizes a situation in which equipment can be damaged or data can be corrupted or lost.
Warning A Warning emphasizes a safety concern, where a very serious and hazardous situation could result if instructions are not carefully adhered to.
Notes about Warnings
Warnings used in this document are translated into many languages in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco Multiservice Switch Products (MGX, BPX, and SES).
There are 3 types of Warnings in hardware guides:
•EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)
•Safety
•Telecom
Warning statements are numbered. The numbering makes it clearer which Warning translation goes with which source Warning.
Scope of this Guide
This guide consolidates the following guides into one document and adds information about MGX Release 5 (and greater) hardware features. Thus, this guide covers all MGX switches supported by software Release 2.0 through 5.1, and makes the following guides obsolete:

Related Documentation
This section describes the user guides and release notes that support this release of Cisco Multiservice Switch products.
User Guide—Order of Use
Use the guides listed here in the following order:
Step 1 Refer to the documents that ship with your product. Observe all safety precautions.
•Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco Multiservice Switch Products (MGX, BPX, and SES)—This document familiarizes you with safety precautions for your product.
•Finding Cisco User Documentation Online—This document explains how to find documentation for MGX, BPX, and SES multiservice switches and media gateways as well as CWM network management software. These documents are available only online.
•Installation Warning Card—This document provides precautions about installing your cards. It explains such subjects as removing the shipping tab and inserting cards properly into the correct slots.
Step 2 Refer to the release notes for your product.
Step 3 If your network uses the CWM network management system, upgrade CWM. (If you are going to install CWM for the first time, do so after Step 4.) Upgrade instructions are included in the following documents:
•Cisco WAN Manager Installation Guide, Release 15.3.00
•Cisco WAN Manager User’s Guide, Release 15.3.00
Step 4 If your network contains MGX and SES products, refer to this guide for planning information:
• Cisco PNNI Network Planning Guide for MGX and SES Products
Step 5 Refer to these guides for information about installing cards and cables in the MGX chassis:
•Cisco MGX 8800/8900 Hardware Installation Guide, Releases 2 - 5.3 for installing cards and cables in these chassis.
•Cisco MGX 8xxx Edge Concentrator Installation and Configuration Guide for installing cards and cables in the Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, or Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) chassis.

Documentation
Step 8 Additional guides, such as command reference guides and error message documentation, can help with the daily operation and maintenance of your switch.
Note User guide titles may be different for earlier software releases. The titles shown in Table 3 are for the September 2005 release.
User Guide Titles and Descriptions
Table 3 lists the technical guides and release notes that support the September 2005 multiservice switch product releases. User documentation and release notes in Table 3 are listed in order of use and include information about which multiservice switch or media gateway the document supports.
The Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) switch documentation was not updated for the September 2005 release. Therefore, some information about configuring and using the new MPSM-8-T1E1 card in these switches is included in the following guides:
•Cisco ATM Services (AUSM/MPSM-8-T1E1) Configuration Guide and Command Reference for MGX Switches, Release 5.2
•Cisco Frame Relay Services (FRSM/MPSM-8-T1E1) Configuration Guide and Command Reference for MGX Switches, Release 5.2
•Cisco Circuit Emulation Services (CESM/MPSM-8-T1E1) Configuration Guide and Command Reference for MGX Switches, Release 5.2
Information about how to install or upgrade to the MPSM-8-T1E1 card in Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) switches is in the Release Notes for Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) Switches, Release 1.3.14.
Note Refer to each product’s release notes for the latest information on features, bug fixes, and more.
Terms
Two main types of ATM cards are used in MGX switches: AXSM and AUSM. AXSM stands for ATM Switching Service Module. AUSM stands for ATM UNI (User Network Interface) Service Module.

Legacy service module refers to a previously introduced card. For this release, the term is used specifically for the CESM-8-T1E1, FRSM-8-T1E1, and AUSM-8-T1E1 cards, which can now be replaced by the new MPSM-8-T1E1 card.
MPSM stands for Multiprotocol Service Module.
RPM stands for Route Processor Module.
SES stands for Service Expansion Shelf.
VISM stands for Voice Interworking Service Module.
VXSM stands for Voice Switch Service Module.
