The Cisco 12008 supports the following features:
• Online insertion and removal (OIR) capability—This feature allows you to insert or
remove the following router components:
— Power supplies—One AC-input power supply or one DC-input power supply is a
required router component. You can remove or replace a power supply, without
disrupting system operatio ns , on ly i f a seco nd ( redundant) unit of the same type i s
installed in the system.
Cisco 12008 Gigabit Switch Router Installation and Configuration Guide
Features of the Cisco 12008 Router
The power supplies of bo th types are hot-swappable, lo ad-sharing units. In a system
equipped with two A C-input power supplie s or two DC-input po wer supplies, i f one
of the units fails or if the power source for one of the units fails, the surviving power
supply continues to operate to sustain normal router operations.
Note The Cisco 12008 does not support a mixture of AC-input and DC-input power
supplies.
— Cisco 12 000 s eries l ine cards—Any line card s upported by the Cisco 12008 router
can be inserted into or removed from the router with no disruption to system
operations.
However, the functio ns performed by the removed card are lost to the system
temporarily until the card is either reinstalled or replaced by a like (and identically
configured) line card.
— Route Processor (RP)—As a requir ed router component, an R P can be remov ed and
replaced, but you must power down the router before doing so.
An RP must be installed and operational at all times fo r normal sy st em oper a tio ns
to be sustained.
— Clock and scheduler card (CSC)—Also a required component, a CSC can be
removed and replaced, without disrupting normal system operations, only if a
second (redundant) CSC is installed in the system.
One CSC must be present and operational at all times to maintain normal system
operations.
— Switch fabric card (SFC)—An optional set of three SFCs can be installed in the
router at any time to provide additional switch fabric to the router. These cards
increase the data handling capacity of the router.
Any one or all of th e SFCs can be remov ed and rep laced at any time without system
operations being disrupted or the router being powered down.
For the length of time that any SFC is not functional, its switch fabric is lost to the
router as a potential data path for the router’s data han dling and switchi ng functions.

Overview of the Cisco 12008
Separately orderable document s called conf igur ation notes or replacement instructions
are available for each of the FRUs described previously. These documents provide
installation, removal, replacement, and configuration instructions for the FRUs.
• Environmental monitoring system—Th e maintenance bus (MBus) facility of the Cisco
12008 functions as an environmental monitoring system for the router, enabling the
router to monitor itself and alert site personnel to adverse electrical events or
environmental conditions.
MBus software running in the RP, in combination with LEDs on the CSC faceplate,
keep site personnel informed regarding the operational state of the router.
By signaling alarm conditions, such as component overheating or out-of-tolerance
voltages, the router enables you to resolve adverse environmental conditions before
operational limits are exceeded, thus preventing the router from shutting down.
The MBus facility of the router is described in greater detail in the section entitled
“Cisco 12008 Environmental Monitoring Facility” on page 74.
• Downloadable software—This feature allows you to remotely load new operational
software into Flash memory on the RP without physically accessing the router. Thus,
you can quickly, easily, and reliably perform software upgrades at any time.
Overview of the Cisco 12008
The Cisco 12008 is a modular system consisting of the elements shown in Figure 1-2.

Overview of the Cisco 12008
Router Enclosure
The outer shell of the Cisco 12008 is a rigid, sheet metal structure with the following
dimensions:
• Width—17.4 inches (44.6 cm)
• Depth—21.2 inches (54.4 cm)
• Height— 24.8 inches (63.6 cm)
This enclosure, which houses all of the router’s internal components, can be mounted in a
telco rack or a four-post equipment rack, or the enclosure can be used as a freestanding unit.
The design of the enclosure permits front accessibility of all router components. All router
components plug into a backplane that provides operating power for the components and
interconnects them with each other.
The backplane, which is covered by a sheet metal panel that helps to completely enclose
the rear of the router, incorporates a nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) module
that stores the backplane serial number for identification an d revision control purposes. The
contents of the NVRAM module are accessible from any line card slot.
Cable-Management System
The cable-management system provides an orderly and convenient way for you to manage
the network interface cables running to and fr om the receiv e and trans mit ports of installed
line cards.
Consisting of a cable-management tray and a vertical cable-management bracket (one
bracket for each installed line card), the cable-management system (see Figure 1-3) secures
the network interface cables neatly in place. The cable management system helps to
optimize optical cable performance by eliminating any kinks or sharp bends in the cables.
Extreme curvatures in optical cables tend to degrade their performance.
The elements of the cable-management system are shown in Figure 1-3 and described
briefly in the following sections:
• Cable-management tray—This tray is attached to the router enclosure above the upper
card cage.
