Safety Guidelines
Before you perform any chassis installation procedures, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid
injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
The fan tray cools the card rack. A fan tray contains six axial fans. The fans pull
cooling air through the chassis from the front to rear.
NCS 4016 has two fan trays that are inserted into the front of the chassis at the
top and bottom. NCS 4009 has only the top fan tray behind the craft panel.
NCS 4016 has two independent air filters, located in the middle of the chassis
behind the plastic inlet grill. One is dedicated to the top card rack and the other to
the bottom card rack. In NCS 4009, there is only one air filter and it is located
above the slots of the fabric cards.
Two power trays, AC and DC, provide redundant power to the chassis. A power
tray is a field serviceable unit (FSU). A mixture of AC and DC power is not
supported in the chassis.
The chassis has fiber management features for the front side only. For the NCS
4016, the horizontal fiber management brackets are located above and below the
card cages. For NCS 4009, the horizontal fiber management bracket is located
above the card cage.
Note
Power off the system before removing or installing a power tray.
The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. The guidelines do not include all
hazards. Be alert.
• Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself.
• Keep the work area clear and dust-free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris to enter
into any laser-based components.
• Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, and other items that could get caught in the chassis while working
with the chassis and its components.
• Use Cisco equipment in accordance with its specifications and product-usage instructions.
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Make sure that your installation follows national and local electrical codes: in the United States, National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United States National Electrical Code; in Canada, Canadian
Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1; in other countries, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
60364, part 1 through part 7.
• Connect only a DC power source that follows the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in
UL/CSA/IEC/EN 60950-1 and AS/NZS 60590 to the DC input power system.
• Make sure that you have a readily accessible two-poled disconnect device incorporated in the fixed
configuration wiring of a DC input power system.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
• Make sure that you provide short-circuit (overcurrent) protection as part of the building installation.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly
handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. We recommend use of an ESD-preventive wrist strap
whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components. For guidelines to prevent ESD damage,
see Preventing Electrostatic Discharge, on page 29
Two ESD jacks are provided, one at the top of the chassis and one at the bottom of the chassis.

To avoid tipping the chassis and possible injury when installing it, take care to properly position the chassis
in the rack when you are mounting it.
Before mounting the chassis in the rack, perform the following steps:
This section explains how to install the top and bottom mounting brackets for the specific type of rack you
are using.
• For 2-post ANSI racks, the brackets are installed in the middle position.
• For 4-post ANSI racks and ETSI cabinets, the brackets are installed in the front position.
Prerequisites
Make sure that you have the correct type of mounting brackets to suit your rack type. There are three different
types of mounting brackets for the three types of racks (ANSI 19-inch or 23-inch or ETSI).

Step 2 Once the chassis has been installed, remove the aid brackets. Loosen the two screws from the aid brackets
and take off the rack.
Tip
Keep the aid brackets in case of future chassis relocation.
What to do next
To accommodate equipment racks with different mounting hole patterns, the aid brackets have groups of
screw holes on either side.
The mounting holes in the aid brackets are spaced so that one mounting hole in each hole group aligns with
a corresponding hole in the equipment rack. By using the corresponding mounting hole (in the same hole
group) on the opposite side of the rack, you can keep both the aid brackets leveled.
