Warning

Warning

Warning

Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and
watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld
the metal object to the terminals.

This equipment has been designed for connection to TN and IT power systems.

To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage
(TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports
both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of
a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if
you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages
and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards,
faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Installing the Chassis

You can set the chassis on a desktop or install it in a rack. See the applicable instructions in the following sections:

• Rack-Mounting the Chassis, page 10

• Installing on a Desktop, page 11

Note Cisco 3745 routers are not designed for wall-mounting.

Rack-Mounting the Chassis

The standard accessory kit contains brackets for mounting the chassis in a 19-inch rack. You can order an optional accessory
kit with brackets and instructions for mounting the chassis in a 23- or 24-inch rack.

You can mount the chassis in the following ways:

• Front panel forward

• Back panel forward

• Center mount with either front or back panel forward

Attaching Brackets

Attach the mounting brackets to the chassis as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, or Figure 3, using the screws provided in the bracket
kit. Attach the second bracket to the opposite side of the chassis. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to install the bracket
screws.

Note Some 19-inch racks have power strips on the back vertical rails that block cable access to power supplies. Be sure to

choose an orientation that provides unrestricted access to the back panel.

• For EN/IEC 60950-compliant grounding, use AWG 18 (1 mm2) or larger wire and a user-supplied ring terminal.

To connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the ground lug or terminal.

• For the NEBS ground lug—approximately 0.75 in. (20 mm)

• For user-provided ring terminal—as required
Step 2 Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug or ring terminal, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size.
Step 3 Attach the ground lug or ring terminal to the chassis as shown in Figure 4 or Figure 5. For the ground lug, use the two

screws with captive locking washers provided. For a ring terminal, use one of the screws provided. Use a number 2
Phillips screwdriver, and tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb (0.9 to 1.1 N-m).

Step 4 Connect the other end of the ground wire to a grounding point at your site.

Step 3 Crimp the terminals onto the DC power input wires.

Warning

When stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring terminations, such as closed-loop or spade-type with
upturned lugs. These terminations should be the appropriate size for the wires and should clamp both the
insulation and conductor.

Statement 1002

Step 4 Remove the plastic cover from the terminal block. Save it for reinstallation after you finish wiring.
Step 5 Connect the DC power input wires to the terminal block, as shown in Figure 6.

Warning

The illustration shows the DC power supply terminal block. Wire the DC power supply as illustrated. The proper
wiring sequence is ground to ground, positive to positive, and negative to negative. The ground wire should always

Warning

be connected first and disconnected last.

An exposed wire lead from a DC-input power source can conduct harmful levels of electricity. Be sure that no
exposed portion of the DC-input power source wire extends from the terminal block plug.

Statement 239

Statement 122

Caution Do not overtorque the terminal block screws. The recommended torque is 8.0 ± 0.5 in-lb (0.9 ± 0.05 N-m).

7 Interface Numbering

Each individual interface (port) on a Cisco 3745 router is identified by number as described in the following sections.

WAN and LAN Interface Numbering

The Cisco 3745 router chassis contains the following WAN and LAN interface types:

• 2 built-in FastEthernet LAN interfaces

• 3 slots in which you can install WAN or voice interface cards

• 4 network module slots

The numbering format is:

• Interface-type Slot-number/Interface-number

Two examples are:

The slot numbers are as follows:

• 0 for all built-in interfaces

• 0 for all WIC interfaces

• 1 for the lower-right network module slot

• 2 for the lower-left network module slot

• 3 for the upper-right network module slot

• 4 for the upper-left network module slot

FastEthernet 0/0 and Serial 1/2.

22

If double-width network modules are installed, the network module slots are numbered as follows:

• 2 for the lower double-width slot

• 4 for the upper double-width slot

Interface (port) numbers begin at 0 for each interface type, and continue from right to left and from bottom to top.

Figure 7 shows the back panel of the Cisco 3745 with:

• A WIC in each of the three WAN interface card slots

• A single-width network module in each of the four network module slots

• Two AC power supplies

Note The slot number for all WIC interfaces is always 0. (The W0, W1, and W2 slot designations are for physical slot

identification only.) Interfaces in the WICs are numbered from right to left, starting with 0/0 for each interface type,
regardless of which physical slot the WICs are installed in. Some examples are:

–

If physical slot W0 is empty and physical slot W1 contains a 1-port serial WIC, the serial interface in the WIC is
numbered Serial 0/0.

–

If slot W0 contains a 2-port serial WIC and slot W1 contains a 1-port serial WIC, the serial interfaces in physical slot
W0 are numbered Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1, and the serial interface in physical slot W1 is numbered Serial 0/2.

–

If slot W0 contains a 2-port serial WIC and slot W1 contains a 1-port BRI WIC, the serial interfaces in physical slot
W0 are numbered Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1, and the BRI interface in physical slot W1 is numbered BRI 0/0.

In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

• 1 877 228-7302

• 1 408 525-6532

Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to encrypt any

sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been encrypted with PGP
versions 2.x through 9.x.

Never use a revoked encryption key or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence
with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.

If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT to find other means of encrypting the data before sending any sensitive
material.

12 Product Alerts and Field Notices

Modifications to or updates about Cisco products are announced in Cisco Product Alerts and Cisco Field Notices. You can

13 Obtaining Technical Assistance

Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support &
Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service
contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service
contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website

The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving
technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you
have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

Note Use the Cisco Product Identification Tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a request for service

online or by phone. You can access this tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking
the Tools & Resources link, clicking the All Tools (A-Z) tab, and then choosing Cisco Product Identification Tool from
the alphabetical list. This tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or, for certain

products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the
serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information
before placing a service call.

Tip Displaying and Searching on Cisco.com

If you suspect that the browser is not refreshing a web page, force the browser to update the web page by holding down
the Ctrl key while pressing F5.

To find technical information, narrow your search to look in technical documentation, not the entire Cisco.com
website. On the Cisco.com home page, click the Advanced Search link under the Search box and then click the Technical
Support & Documentation.radio button.

To provide feedback about the Cisco.com website or a particular technical document, click Contacts & Feedback at the
top of any Cisco.com web page.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are
those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your
situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended
resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service
requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately
to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: [phone]
Australia: 1 800 805 227
EMEA: [phone]
USA: 1 800 553 2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

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.
