THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following inform ation is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

Safety

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your product. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your product’s electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the equipment chassis.
As you continue to work inside the product, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.
Work on ESD-sensitive parts only at an approved static-safe station on a grounded static dissipative work surface, for example, an ESD workbench or static dissipative mat.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
To remove and replace components in a chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove all static-generating items from your work area. Step 2 Use a static dissipative work surface and wrist strap.
OL-11805-01
Note Disposable wrist straps, typically those included with an upgrade part, are designed for one time

Chapter 3 Installing the AVS 3120

Establishing a Serial Console Connection

Before you can configure the AVS 3120 by using the command line interface (CLI), you must establish a serial console connection to it. This requires a PC, a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter (provided), an RJ-45 180/rollover cable (provided), and terminal emulation communication software (Hyper Terminal or equivalent). You may also use a serial concentrator connection, if desired.
To establish a serial console connection, follow these steps:
1. Connect a console to the serial console port on the rear panel: a. Attach a DB-9 or DB-25 to RJ-45 adapter to the serial port of the console computer. b. Use the RJ-45 180/rollover cable to connect the console to the console serial port on the AVS
3120. For the location of the serial port, see Figure 3-4.
2. If you have not already done so, power up the AVS 3120 as described in the “Booting the AVS 3120”
section on page 3-8.
3. Open your terminal emulation application on your PC to access the AVS 3120 CLI. The following
procedure uses HyperTerminal for Windows:
a. Launch HyperTerminal. The Connection Description window appears. b. Enter a name for your session in the Name field.
Establishing a Serial Console Connection
c. Click OK. The Connect To window appears. d. From the drop-down list, choose the COM port to which the device is connected. e. Click OK. The Port Properties window appears.
f. Set the port properties:
Baud Rate = 9600
Data Bits = 8
Flow Control = none
Parity = none
Stop Bits = 1
g. Click OK to connect. h. Press Enter to display the CLI prompt.
4. After you create a session, choose Save As from the File menu to save the connection description.
Saving the connection description has the following two advantages:
The next time you launch HyperTerminal, the session is listed as an option under Start > Programs > Accessories > HyperTerminal > Name_of_session. This option lets you reach the CLI prompt directly without repeating the configuration steps.
You can connect your cable to a different device without configuring a new HyperTerminal session. If you use this option, ensure that you connect to the same port on the new device as was configured in the saved HyperTerminal session. Otherwise, a blank screen appears without a prompt.

Temperature extremes can cause a variety of problems, including premature aging and failure of chips or mechanical failure of devices. Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause chips to become loose in their sockets.
To minimize the negative effects of temperature on AVS 3120 performance, follow these guidelines:
Ensure that the AVS 3120 operates in an environment no colder than 32°F (0°C) or hotter than 104°F
(40°C).
Ensure that the AVS 3120 has adequate ventilation. Do not place it within a closed-in wall unit or
on top of cloth, which can act as insulation. Do not place it in direct sunlight. Do not place it next to a heat source of any kind, including heating vents during winter.
Adequate ventilation is particularly important at high altitudes. AVS 3120 performance may not be optimum when operating at high temperatures as well as high altitudes.
Ensure that all slots and openings on the AVS 3120 remain unobstructed, especially the fan vent on
the back of the AVS 3120.
Clean the AVS 3120 at regular intervals to avoid any buildup of dust and debris, which can cause it
to overheat.

Humidity

Altitude

If the AVS 3120 has been exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, allow a 2-hour warm-up period
to bring it up to normal operating temperature before turning it on. Failure to do so may cause damage to internal components.
High-humidity conditions can cause moisture in the AVS 3120. This moisture can cause corrosion of internal components and degradation of properties, such as electrical resistance, thermal conductivity, physical strength, and size. Extreme moisture buildup inside the AVS 3120 can result in electrical shorts, which can cause serious damage.
Each AVS 3120 is rated to operate at 8 to 80 percent relative humidity, with a humidity gradation of 10 percent per hour. Buildings in which climate is controlled by air conditioning in the warmer months and by heat during the colder months usually maintain an acceptable level of humidity for the AVS 3120. However, if an AVS 3120 is located in an unusually humid location, use a dehumidifier to maintain the humidity within an acceptable range.
Operating an AVS 3120 at high altitude (low pressure) reduces the efficiency of forced and convection cooling and can result in electrical problems related to arcing and corona effects. This condition can also cause sealed components with internal pressure, such as electrolytic capacitors, to fail or perform at reduced efficiency.
The AVS 3120 is for use at a maximum altitude of 9843 feet (3000 meters).

Chapter 5 Maintaining Your AVS 3120

Dust and Particles

A clean operating environment can greatly negate the effects of dust and other particles, which act as insulators and interfere with the operation of mechanical components. Also, in addition to regular cleaning, follow these guidelines to deter contamination of the AVS 3120 equipment:
Do not permit smoking anywhere near the AVS 3120.
Do not permit food or drink near the AVS 3120.
Use dust covers when the AVS 3120 is not in use.
Close windows and outside doors to keep out airborne particles.

Corrosion

The oil from a person’s fingers or prolonged exposure to high temperature or humidity can corrode the gold-plated edge connectors and pin connectors on various devices in the AVS 3120. This corrosion on AVS 3120 connectors is a gradual process that can eventually lead to intermittent failures of electrical circuits.
Maintaining Your Site Environment
To prevent corrosion, avoid touching contacts on boards and cards. Protecting the AVS 3120 from corrosive elements is especially important in moist and salty environments, which tend to promote corrosion. Also, as a further deterrent to corrosion, the AVS 3120 should not be used in extreme temperatures, as explained in the “Temperature” section on page 5-2.

Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity on the human body and certain other objects. Static electricity is often produced by simple movements such as walking across a carpet. ESD is a discharge of a static electrical charge that occurs when a person whose body contains such a charge touches a component in the AVS 3120, especially chips, and causes the component to fail.
ESD is a problem particularly in dry environments where the relative humidity is below 50 percent.
To reduce the effects of ESD, observe the following guidelines:
Wear a grounding wrist strap. If a grounding wrist strap is unavailable, touch an unpainted metal
surface on the chassis periodically to neutralize any static charge.
Keep components in their antistatic packaging until they are installed.
Avoid wearing clothing made of wool or synthetic materials.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference

OL-11805-01
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) can adversely affect devices such as radio and television (TV) receivers operating near the AVS 3120. Radio frequencies emanating from the AVS 3120 can also interfere with cordless and low-power telephones. Conversely, RFI from high-power telephones can cause spurious characters to appear on a monitor screen.
RFI is defined as any EMI with a frequency above 10 kHz. This type of interference can travel from the AVS 3120 to other devices through the power cable and power source or through the air like transmitted radio waves. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) publishes specific regulations to limit the amount of EMI and RFI emitted by computing equipment. Each AVS 3120 meets these FCC regulations.
Cisco AVS 3120 Application Velocity System Hardware Installation Guide
5-3
Maintaining Your Site Environment
To reduce the possibility of EMI and RFI, follow these guidelines:
Operate the AVS 3120 only with its cover installed.
Ensure that the screws on all peripheral cable connectors are securely fastened to their
corresponding connectors on the back of the AVS 3120.
Always use shielded cables with metal connector shells for attaching peripherals to the AVS 3120.

Power Source Interruptions

The AVS 3120 is especially sensitive to variations in voltage supplied by the AC power source. Overvoltage, undervoltage, and transients (or spikes) can erase data from memory or even cause components to fail. To protect against these types of problems, always properly ground power cables. Use one or both of the following methods:
Use one of the power protection devices described in the “Using Power Protection Devices” section.
Place the AVS 3120 on a dedicated power circuit (rather than sharing a circuit with other heavy
electrical equipment). In general, do not allow the AVS 3120 to share a circuit with any of the following equipment:
Chapter 5 Maintaining Your AVS 3120
Copier machines
Air conditioners
Vacuum cleaners
Space heaters
Power tools
Teletype machines
Adding machines
Laser printers
Facsimile machines
Any other motorized equipment
In addition to these appliances, the greatest threats to the AVS 3120 power supply are surges or blackouts caused by electrical storms. Whenever possible, turn off the AVS 3120 and any peripherals, and unplug them from their power sources during thunderstorms.
If a blackout occurs—even a temporary one—while the AVS 3120 is turned on, turn it off immediately and disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Leaving the AVS 3120 on may cause problems when the power is restored; all other appliances left on in the area can create large voltage spikes that can damage the AVS 3120.

Chapter 5 Maintaining Your AVS 3120

Using Power Protection Devices

A number of devices are available that protect against power problems such as power surges, transients, and power failures. The following subsections describe some of these devices.

Surge Protectors

Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level of protection commensurate with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent voltage spikes, such as those caused during an electrical storm, from entering an AVS 3120 through the electrical outlet. Surge protectors, however, do not offer protection against brownouts, which occur when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level.

Line Conditioners

Line conditioners go beyond the overvoltage protection of surge protectors. Line conditioners keep an AVS 3120’s AC power source voltage at a fairly constant level and, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection, line conditioners cost more than surge protectors—up to several hundred dollars. However, these devices cannot protect against a complete loss of power.
Using Power Protection Devices

Uninterruptible Power Supplies

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems offer the most complete protection against variations in power because they use battery power to keep the AVS 3120 running when AC power is lost. The battery is charged by the AC power while it is available, so once AC power is lost, the battery can provide power to the AVS 3120 for a limited amount of time—from 15 minutes to an hour or so—depending on the UPS system.
Surge protectors should be used with all UPS systems, and the UPS system should be Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety-approved.
