Caution

When handling router components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by their handles and carrier
edges only. An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis
must be grounded through the power cable, the chassis ground, or the metal-to-metal contact with a
grounded rack.

Caution

If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.

Caution

To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying power to the
router are within the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.

Installation Options with Racks and Cabinets

The Cisco NCS 5000 series routers can be installed in the following types of racks using a rack-mount kit
shipped with the router:

Open EIA rack

•

Perforated EIA cabinet

•

To enable you to easily mount your router in any qualifying rack, you can attach the rack-mount brackets
accommodate racks of different depths.

Airflow Direction

The airflow direction of the Cisco NCS 5000 series routers can be configured as front-to-back (port side
intake), or back-to-front (port side exhaust). This is dependent on the type of fan modules and power supplies
configured with the chassis. It is not possible to mix airflow directions. In other words, all fan modules and
power supplies must either be configured to the same front-to-back, or back-to-front airflow directions.

Chassis Weight

When lifting the router chassis, follow these guidelines.:

Hardware Installation Guide for Cisco NCS 5000 Series Routers

13

Required Equipment

Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the router.

•

Ensure that two people lift the router. The Cisco NCS 5001 router with two power supplies, weighs 22

•

lb, and the Cisco NCS 5002 with two power supplies, weighs 46 lbs. The Cisco NCS 5011 with two
power supplies, weighs 22.2 lbs. Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the router is evenly
distributed between your feet.

Lift the router slowly, keeping your back straight. Lift with your legs, not with your back. Bend at the

•

knees, not at the waist.

Required Equipment

Before beginning the installation, ensure that you have the following items available:

Four 12-24 or 10-32 screws for attaching slider rails to the rack

•

Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers with torque capability

Prepare to Install Cisco NCS 5000

Tape measure and level

•

ESD wrist strap or other grounding device

•

Antistatic mat or antistatic foam

•

Also, the following additional items (not found in the accessory kit) are required to ground the chassis:

Grounding cable (6 AWG recommended), sized according to local and national installation requirements;

•

the required length depends on the proximity of the router to proper grounding facilities

Crimping tool, large enough to accommodate the girth of the lug

•

Wire-stripping tool

•

Unpack and Inspect the New Router

Before you install a new chassis, you need to unpack and inspect it to be sure that you have all the items that
you ordered and verify that the router was not damaged during shipment.

Caution

When handling router components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by their handles and carrier
edges only. An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis
must be grounded through the power cable, the chassis ground, or the metal-to-metal contact with a
grounded rack.

Do not discard the shipping container when you unpack the router. Flatten the shipping cartons and store

Tip

them with the pallet used for the system. If you need to move or ship the system in the future, you will
need these containers.

This section provides the requirements for the following types of cabinets and racks, assuming an external
ambient air temperature range of 0° F to 104° F (0° C to 40° C):

Standard perforated cabinets

•

Standard open racks

•

APPENDIX B

Note

Note

If you are selecting an enclosed cabinet, we recommend one of the thermally validated types: standard
perforated or solid-walled with a fan tray.

Do not use racks that have obstructions (such as power strips), because the obstructions could impair
access to field-replaceable units (FRUs).

This section includes the following topics:

General Requirements for Cabins and Racks, on page 45

Requirements Specific to Perforated Cabinets, on page 46

General Requirements for Cabins and Racks

The cabinet or rack must be one of the following types:

Hardware Installation Guide for Cisco NCS 5000 Series Routers

45

Requirements Specific to Perforated Cabinets

Standard 19-in. (48.3 cm) (four-post EIA cabinet or rack, with mounting rails that conform to English

•

universal hole spacing per section 1 of ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992. See the “Requirements Specific to

Perforated Cabinets, on page 46”.

The cabinet or rack must also meet the following requirements:

The minimum vertical rack space for the Cisco NCS 5000 router chassis must be one RU (rack units).

•

The width between the rack-mounting rails must be at least 19 inches if the rear of the router is not

•

attached to the rack. For four-post EIA racks, this is the distance between the two front rails.

For four-post EIA cabinets (perforated or solid-walled), the requirements are as follows:

•

The minimum spacing for the bend radius for fiber-optic cables should have the front-mounting

•

rails of the cabinet offset from the front door by a minimum of 3 inches (7.6 cm), and a minimum
of 5 inches (12.7 cm) if cable management brackets are installed on the front of the chassis.

The distance between the outside face of the front mounting rail and the outside face of the back

•

mounting rail should be 23.5 to 34.0 inches (59.7 to 86.4 cm) to allow for rear-bracket installation.

A minimum of 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) of clear space should exist between the side edge of the chassis

•

and the side wall of the cabinet. No sizeable flow obstructions should be immediately in the way
of chassis air intake or exhaust vents.

Cabinet and Rack Installation

Note

Optional jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. See the Jumper Power
Cord section on page C-8

Requirements Specific to Perforated Cabinets

A perforated cabinet is as a cabinet with perforated front and rear doors and solid side walls. In addition to
the requirements listed in the “General Requirements for Cabins and Racks, on page 45” , perforated cabinets
must meet the following requirements:

The front and rear doors must have at least a 60 percent open area perforation pattern, with at least 15

•

square inches (96.8 square cm) of open area per rack unit of door height.

The roof should be perforated with at least a 20 percent open area.

•

The cabinet floor should be open or perforated to enhance cooling.

•

Cisco provides an R-Series rack that conforms to these requirements.

Cable Management Guidelines

To help with cable management, you might want to allow additional space in the rack above and below the
chassis to make it easier to route as many as 56 fiber or copper cables through the rack.

Overview

APPENDIX F

Troubleshooting Hardware Components

This appendix describes how to identify and resolve problems that might occur with the hardware components
of a Cisco NCS 5000 Series routers.

Overview, page 61

•

Router Hardware Best Practices, page 61

•

Power Supply Conditions, page 62

•

The key to success when troubleshooting the system hardware is to isolate the problem to a specific system
component. The first step is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing. Because a startup
problem can usually be attributed to a single component, it is more efficient to isolate the problem to a
subsystem rather than troubleshoot each separate component in the system.

Problems with the initial power up are often caused by a module that is not firmly connected to the backplane
or a power supply that has been disconnected from the power cord connector.

Overheating can also cause problems with the system, though typically only after the system has been operating
for an extended period of time. The most common cause of overheating is the failure of a fan module.

Router Hardware Best Practices

Use the recommendations in this section to ensure the proper installation, initialization, and operation of the
router.

Installation Best Practices

When installing the router, follow these best practices:

Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis.

•

Verify that you have the appropriate power supplies for your chassis configuration.

•

Install the chassis following the rack and airflow guidelines presented in this guide.

•

Verify that the chassis is adequately grounded.

•

Initialization Best Practice

When the initial system boot is complete, verify the following:

Power supplies are supplying power to the system.

•

Fan modules are operating normally.

•

Troubleshooting Hardware Components

The system software boots successfully.

•

Router Operation Best Practices

To ensure proper operation of your router, take the following actions:

Make a copy of the running configuration to CompactFlash for a safe backup.

•

Always enter the copy running-config startup-config CLI command after you modify the running

•

configuration and ensure that the system is operating properly.

Never use the init system CLI command unless you understand that you will lose the running and startup

•

configuration as well as the files stored on bootflash.

Keep backup copies of the running kickstart and the system images on CompactFlash.

•

Power Supply Conditions

The two LEDs on each power supply indicate the power status for each power supply. To determine the current
status for a power supply unit, note which LED is on, blinking, or off and refer the following table.
