About the Cisco NCS 6000 Fabric Card Chassis
The Cisco NCS 6000 Fabric Card Chassis is a highly scalable core routing platform designed for service
providers to build next generation multi-service networks that provide video, data and voice services. The
fabric card chassis, also known as a switch fabric chassis, is referred to in this document as the Cisco NCS
6000 FCC.
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC is part of the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system that also includes the Cisco
NCS 6008 8-slot line card chassis (LCC). The system can expand from a single chassis to various multi-chassis
configurations for increased routing capacity and is capable of supporting up to 16 LCCs interconnected to
4 FCCs.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system scales by interconnecting up to 16 LCCs through up to four FCCs.
These connections are made from the LCC switch fabric cards to the FCC fabric cards through CXP or CXP2
optical interconnects. The NCS 6000 has a 3-stage switch fabric architecture. In a multi-chassis configuration,
the first and third stages are implemented by the S13 fabric cards on the LCC, and the second stage is performed
by the S2 fabric cards on the FCC. For an overview of the fabric system and multi-chassis cabling
configurations, see About the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis System, on page 137.
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC has an integrated rack and is bolted to the facility floor (no external rack is required).
The FCC contains its own power and cooling systems. Power systems are available using either AC or DC
power.
This installation guide provides the installation procedures for the FCC. For installation information about
the LCC, see the Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide.

Overview
Note
The installation of a Cisco NCS 6000 FCC may require space, floor loading, power, and cooling
modifications to a facility. Therefore, you should plan the site well in advance of the scheduled delivery
of the FCC. For site preparation information, see the Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series
Routers Site Planning Guide.
Fabric Card Chassis Components
Table 3: Main Components of the Cisco NCS 6000 FCC
DescriptionComponent
Chassis midplane
S2 Fabric Cards (FCs)
The chassis midplane distributes power and provides interconnections for other
components in the system. Each S2 FC is connected through the midplane to the FCC.
The midplane is not a field-replaceable unit (FRU).
The FCC has 12 FC slots: Six FC slots on the front side of the FCC (three slots on the
upper cage and three slots on the lower cage) and six FC slots on the rear side of the
FCC (three slots on the upper cage and three slots on the lower cage). See Figure 3:
Cisco NCS 6000 FCC Slot Numbers. For an overview of the fabric, see Fabric
Overview, on page 150.
Each S2 FC supports up to 32 CXP modules. Each S2 FC2 supports up to 32 CXP2
modules.
CXP/CXP2 optical modules and connectors
The connections between the LCC and the FCC are implemented through a number of
bi-directional optical links. Pluggable CXP/CXP2 optics are used for these interconnects.
In 1T multi-chassis (MC) mode, CXP optical modules connect the S2 FC and S13
•
FC together.
In 2T MC mode, CXP2 optical modules connect the S2 FC2 and UFC together.
•
The CXP module (CXP-100G-SR12) and the CXP2 module (ONS-CXP2-SR25) use
a 24-fiber MPO connector that supports 12 bi-directional optical links up to 100 meters
of OM-4 multi-mode fiber.

Overview
Fabric Card Chassis Components
DescriptionComponent
Shelf Controller Cards
Power enclosure
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC offers two types of shelf controller cards: the SC card and
the SC-SW card.
The SC-SW card is a 56-port combination card that integrates a shelf controller
•
and switch for the NCS 6000 Control Ethernet into one physical card. The shelf
controller (SC) portion controls the route processing and management functions
for the FCC and its components. The switch (SW) portion interconnects all the
route processors (RPs) and SCs in a multi-chassis system. The LEDs on the SC-SW
indicate active alarm conditions.
The SC card is a shelf-controller-only card.
•
For detailed information about the SC-SW and SC cards, see About the SC and SC-SW
Cards, on page 69.
The FCC ships with two shelf controller cards, either two SC-SW cards or a combination
of one SC-SW card and one SC card pre-installed in the FCC. The cards are inserted
into two dedicated slots on the front of the FCC. One SC-SW or SC card installs into
slot SC0 on the upper card cage and the other SC-SW or SC card installs into slot SC1
on the lower card cage (Figure 3: Cisco NCS 6000 FCC Slot Numbers). Both the upper
and lower card slots are identical. The secondary card is installed for redundancy, so
that the loss or removal of a single card does not bring down the FCC. At least one
SC-SW or SC card must be operational for the FCC to function.
Note
In a multi-chassis system with more than one FCC, we recommend that the
SC-SW cards are not installed in the same FCC.
The power enclosure is a separate unit that is installed at the top of the FCC (Figure 5:
FCC Power Enclosure—Front and Rear Views). The enclosure has four slots for AC
or DC power trays, and two power control modules (PCMs). Each set of power trays
has a PCM with its own I/O power switch.
Fan trays
Air filter
Each AC power tray has three slots for power modules (PMs). Each DC power
•
tray has four slots for PMs.
Mixing AC and DC power supplies in the FCC is not supported.
•
The AC and DC power trays are field-replaceable (after power down). The PMs are
hot-swappable.
Two redundant fan trays are inserted into the rear of the FCC (Figure 2: Rear View of
the Cisco NCS 6000 FCC ). Each fan tray contains four axial fans. The fans pull cooling
air through the FCC from the front to the back of the FCC.
A removable air filter is located below the lower cable management bracket and inside
the front air intake on the front of the FCC (Figure 1: Front View of the Cisco NCS
6000 FCC ).

The FCC has cable management features on the front and rear sides of the FCC. These
brackets organize the interface cables entering and exiting the different cards, keeping
them out of the way and free of sharp bends that may damage the cables.
Four horizontal cable management brackets are preinstalled on the FCC (two on the
front side and two on the rear side of the FCC (Figure 1: Front View of the Cisco NCS
6000 FCC and Figure 2: Rear View of the Cisco NCS 6000 FCC ). Each side of the
FCC has one cable management bracket above the upper card cage and one cable
management bracket below the lower card cage.
Four vertical cable troughs are supplied for cable management, two on the front side
of the FCC and two on the rear side of the FCC.
A temperature sensor is located on the lower rear side of the FCC.Temperature sensor assembly
A craft panel display, located on the front of the FCC (Figure 1: Front View of the
Cisco NCS 6000 FCC ), consists of an LCD touch-screen display and LEDs used to
indicate system alarms. The craft panel has a basic interface used to monitor the operation
of the FCC.

Cable Management
The distribution of the slot locations on the Cisco NCS 6000 FCC allows for the large number of optic fiber
cables required for a fully-loaded routing system. Splitting the FCs front and back maximizes the space around
each connector and simplifies cable management.
The NCS 6000 FCC cable management features include:
Front and rear cable management brackets: One cable management bracket is located above the upper
•
card cage and one cable management bracket below the lower card cage (Figure 1: Front View of the
Cisco NCS 6000 FCC and Figure 2: Rear View of the Cisco NCS 6000 FCC ).
Vertical cable troughs: Four troughs, two on the front side of the FCC, and two on the rear side of the
•
FCC (Figure 14: Front Door Trough Hinges, Latches, and Retention Brackets and Figure 17: Rear Door
Trough Hinges, Latches, and Retention Brackets).

Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•
Make sure 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.
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.
To prevent ESD damage:
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Connect
•
the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD jack or a bare metal surface on the FCC (ensure
that the FCC is grounded).
Handle a card by its ejector levers, when applicable, or its metal carrier only; avoid touching the board
•
or connector pins.
Place a removed card board side up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If you plan to
•
return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
Avoid contact between a card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from only ESD voltage
•
on the body; ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage.

About the Power Enclosure
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC ships with a separate empty power enclosure (Cisco PID NCS-F-PWR-SHELF).
The power enclosure consists of one power shelf, four slots for AC or DC power trays, and two power control
modules (PCMs).
The upper two power trays (PT0 and PT1) are referred to as power shelf 0 (PS0), and the lower two power
trays (PT2 and PT3) are referred to as power shelf 1 (PS1) Figure 3: Cisco NCS 6000 FCC Slot Numbers.
Each set of power trays has a power control module (PCM) with its own I/O power switch. Three AC power
modules or four DC power modules can be installed in each power tray. See the Installing an AC or DC Power
Module , on page 46 section.

AC Power System
Overview of the AC Power System
An AC-powered Cisco NCS 6000 FCC contains four AC power trays that are part of the FCC power enclosure
(Figure 5: FCC Power Enclosure—Front and Rear Views). The upper two power trays (PT0 and PT1) are
referred to as PS0, and the lower two power trays (PT2 and PT3) are referred to as PS1. Figure 3: Cisco NCS
6000 FCC Slot Numbers. Each set of power trays has a power control module (PCM) with its own I/O power
switch.
Each AC power tray has three slots for PMs. The AC power trays are field-replaceable (after power down),
however the PMs are hot-swappable.
Each inserted AC PM requires a single-phase, 50 to 60 Hz, 200 to 240 VAC input. Input current is variable
and based on facility minimum voltage. For N+N redundancy, power feeds A must power the upper two AC
power trays and power feeds B must power the lower two AC power trays (not all of the power module bays
need to be filled). This allows the system to balance its load across each set of power trays and across the
power modules within each tray.
The AC power system requires single-phase AC input power to each inserted PM. If you have a 3-phase AC
Delta or AC Wye at your equipment, a Cisco NCS power distribution unit (PDU) is required to convert
3-phase AC input power to single-phase AC input power system.
AC Power System
Note
Note
If you plan to use a three-phase AC PDU we recommend that you install three AC PMs in each AC power
tray to maintain a balanced three-phase power load.
We recommend that you use appropriate short-circuit protection in compliance with national and local
electrical codes.
Installing an AC Power Distribution Unit
The AC PDU converts three-phase AC input power to single-phase AC input power that connects directly to
the rear of each PM. The AC PDU includes either an AC Delta (Cisco PID NCS-PDU-DELTA) or AC Wye

(Cisco PID NCS-PDU-WYE) power interface, and has power input and power output cords entering and
exiting the box.
Figure 24: Cisco NCS-PDU
For detailed information on AC PDUs, see the Cisco CRS 3-Phase AC Power Distribution Unit Installation
Guide.
Mounting the PDU
The AC PDU mounting bracket holds two AC PDUs. The mounting bracket can be attached to both sides of
the FCC by using the existing screws that hold the side panels on (Figure 25: AC PDU Bracket Attached to
the Side of the FCC). The PDUs are attached to the mounting brackets with four M5 screws per AC PDU.

DC Power System
A DC-powered Cisco NCS 6000 FCC contains four DC power trays that are part of the FCC power enclosure
(Figure 5: FCC Power Enclosure—Front and Rear Views). The upper two power trays (PT0 and PT1) are
referred to as power shelf 0 (PS0), and the lower two power trays (PT2 and PT3) are referred to as power
shelf 1 (PS1). Figure 3: Cisco NCS 6000 FCC Slot Numbers. Each set of power trays has a power control
module (PCM) with its own I/O power switch.
The DC power tray has four slots for PMs. The DC power trays are field-replaceable (after power down),
however the PMs are hot-swappable.
For N+N redundancy, “A” power feeds must power the upper two DC power trays and “B” power feeds must
power the lower two DC power trays (not all of the PM bays need to be filled). This allows the system to
balance its load across the two set of power trays and across the power modules within each tray.
The following table lists the DC input current and voltage specifications.

Each wiring block on the DC power tray contains two sets of terminals, one positive and one negative, and
is covered by a plastic terminal block cover that is secured by a screw to a torque of 5 to 7 in-lb (0.56 to 0.79
N-m). Each DC power cable is connected to a power tray with a torque of 45 to 55 in-lb (5.1 to 6.2 N-m).
The terminal block supports 4-6-AWG input wire.
The cable should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Use only copper cable.
An “allpole” separation of the power source is not required. The DC PM is an isolated DC/DC converter
with no galvanic connection between “L+” and the FCC. In addition, the “L+” potentials of each PM are
isolated from each other.

About Installing Cards and Associated Components
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 the use of an ESD-preventive wrist strap
whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components.
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Connect
•
the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD jack (see Figure 4: ESD Jack, on page 12) or a
bare metal surface on the chassis (ensure that the chassis grounded).
Handle a card by its ejector levers, when applicable, or its metal carrier only; avoid touching the board
•
or connector pins (see the Guidelines for Installing a Card, on page 62 section).
Place a removed card board-side-up on an anti-static surface or in a static-shielding bag. If you plan to
•
return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
Avoid contact between a card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from only ESD voltage
•
on the body; ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage.
Be careful not to lay any tools on the aluminum honeycomb panel, or insert your fingers into the panel.
•
Guidelines for Installing a Card
Every card has a label (with an arrow) on its faceplate showing which side is up for installation.
•
All card faceplates and card slots on the FCC are labeled with a round purple symbol.
•
Every card has a key mounted on the board that matches a corresponding slot on the chassis side (top
•
of each card slot). This key-slot mechanism prevents a card from being inserted into the wrong,
non-matching card slot. It also prevents a card from being inserted upside down. If you insert a card into
the wrong card slot or upside down, the key gets blocked against the chassis card guide and will not
slide though the slot. If the key is blocked, remove the card and find the correct card slot.
Online insertion and removal (OIR) is supported, enabling you to install a card while the FCC is operating.
•
OIR is seamless to users on the network, maintains all routing information, and ensures session
preservation. We recommend that you perform a graceful shutdown to shut down a fabric card prior to
removing it from the FCC. See Steps for OIR Fabric Card Removal, on page 63.
Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Fabric Card Chassis Hardware Installation Guide
62
Page 77
Installing the Shelf Controller Cards and Fabric Cards
When installing a fabric card, your must first push the OIR button on both the upper and lower ejectors
•
for the mechanical latch to be released.
The different cards in the FCC are attached to the FCC itself by a pair of ejector levers and captive
•
screws. The two ejector levers release the card from its midplane connector. The exact locations of the
ejector levers and captive screws can vary slightly from card to card, but are generally in the same
locations: on the upper and bottom ends of the faceplate.
The FCC is shipped with the card slots containing either impedance carriers or a plastic cover to help
•
maintain the chassis stiffness and prevent any damage to the chassis during shipment.
Guidelines for Installing a Card
Note
Any unused card slots that are uncovered allows air used for the FCC cooling to escape. To ensure proper
air flow and maintain system EMC and safety compliance, any unused fabric card slots must contain
impedance carriers, and all SC and SC-SW cards must remain installed in their card slots (see the Installing
and Removing an Impedance Carrier , on page 66 and the Slot Numbers, on page 8).
Caution
The FCC may indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Install only one card at
a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the FCC to complete its tasks before installing another card.
Steps for OIR Fabric Card Removal
Follow these steps to perform a graceful OIR on the fabric card by using the Cisco IOS XR shutdown
command.

About Cable Management Brackets
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC has cable management features on the front and rear sides of the FCC. These
brackets organize the interface cables entering and exiting the different cards, keeping them out of the way
and free of sharp bends that may damage the cables.
The front and rear sides of the FCC have horizontal cable management brackets above and below the
•
card cages (Figure 1: Front View of the Cisco NCS 6000 FCC and Figure 2: Rear View of the Cisco
NCS 6000 FCC ).
The front and rear sides of the FCC have vertical cable troughs on the left and right sides of the FCC
•
used for routing the cables (Figure 14: Front Door Trough Hinges, Latches, and Retention Brackets and
Figure 13: Exterior Cosmetics—Rear Side of the FCC).
A vertical cable management bracket is preattached to the faceplate of an S2 FC, S2 FC2, S13 MC FC,
•
UFC, and SC-SW card.

About the SC and SC-SW Cards
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC offers two types of shelf controller cards: The SC-SW (shelf-controller switch
card) and SC (shelf-controller-only) card. Because a maximum of two SC-SW cards are allowed in an entire
multi-chassis system, two different options are provided,
The SC-SW card is a 56-port combination card that integrates a shelf controller and switch for the NCS 6000
Control Ethernet into one physical card. The shelf-controller (SC) portion controls the route processing and
management functions for the FCC and its components. The switch (SW) portion interconnects all the route
processors (RPs) and SCs in a multi-chassis system. The LEDs on the SC-SW indicate active alarm conditions
(Figure 46: SC Card Front Panel and LEDS).
The FCC ships with two shelf controller cards, either two SC-SW cards or a combination of one SC-SW card
and one SC card pre-installed in the FCC. The cards are inserted into two dedicated slots on the front of the
FCC. One SC-SW or SC card installs into slot SC0 on the upper card cage and the other SC-SW or SC card
installs into slot SC1 on the lower card cage. Both the upper and lower card slots are identical. The secondary
card is installed for redundancy, so that the loss or removal of a single card does not bring down the FCC. At
least one SC card or SC-SW card must be operational for the FCC to function.
About the SC and SC-SW Cards
Note
Only two SC-SW cards are supported in an entire multi-chassis system. In a system with more than one
FCC, we recommend that the SC-SW cards are not installed in the same FCC.
The following table lists the physical characteristics for the SC and SC-SW cards.

troubleshooting information.
Installing an SC or SC-SW Card
Every Cisco NCS 6000 FCC chassis contains either one SW-SW card or one SC card preinstalled in dedicated
slots on the front of the FCC. One SC-SW card installs into the upper card cage and the SC card installs into
the lower card cage.
Follow the steps in this section if you are adding a secondary SC-SW or SC card to the FCC.
Note
Caution
The SC and SC-SW cards are hot-swappable, meaning that each card can be replaced without disrupting
data flow in the router.
To prevent electromagnetic interference, the SC-SW card ships with two QSFP plugs installed on the two
QSFP ports. A QSFP plug must be installed on any empty QSFP ports at all times.
Warning

Press the OIR buttons on the top and bottom of the card faceplate to release the ejectors (SC-SW card only).
Carefully slide the card into the slot until the ejector levers meet the edges of the card cage, and then stop when the
ejector lever hooks catch the card cage. If they do not catch, try reinserting the card until the ejector lever hooks are fully
latched.
Pivot both card ejector levers so that the openings on the card ejector cams at the top and bottom of the card pass over
the tabs on each side of the card cage slot.
Caution
Continue sliding the card into the card cage slot until the openings on the card ejector cams engage the tabs on each side
of the card cage slot.
Note
To seat the card in the backplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers and pivot them inward toward the handle in
the card carrier until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier.
Use the number-2 Phillips screwdriver or number-2 common (flat-head) screwdriver to turn the two captive screws on
the front panel of the card clockwise to seat the card firmly in the slot.
Verify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both ejector levers
might bind when you attempt to close the ejector levers, thereby damaging or breaking one or both ejector
levers.
The SC-SW and SC cards both have guide pins that make initial contact with the backplane connector as you
slide the card into its slot. After the guide pins make contact, continue pushing on the card carrier until the card
ejector levers begin pivoting forward toward the handle in the card carrier.

About the Fabric Cards
The Cisco NCS 6000 switch fabric is a 3-stage cell-based architecture with six fabric planes. The S2 Fabric
Card (FC) and S2 FC2 cards implement the second stage of the switch fabric. The S13 Multi Chassis (MC)
FC and Universal fabric Card (UFC) cards implement the first and third stages of the switch fabric and reside
in the Cisco NCS 6008 Line Card Chassis (LCC). The FCs provide the switch fabric for the routing system
and perform the cross-connect function of the routing system, connecting every LC to each other. The switch

S2 Fabric Card
S2 Fabric Card
Installing the Shelf Controller Cards and Fabric Cards
fabric receives ingress user data from one LC slot and performs the switching necessary to route the data to
the appropriate egress LC slot.
The connections between the LCC and the FCC are implemented through a number of bi-directional optical
links. Pluggable CXP form-factor optics are used for these interconnects.
In 1T multi-chassis (MC) mode, CXP optical modules are used on the S2 FC and S13 FC to connect the
•
two cards together.
In 2T MC mode, CXP2 optical modules are used on the S2 FC2 and UFC to connect the two cards
•
together.
The CXP and CXP2 modules use a 24-fiber MPO connector that supports 12 bi-directional optical links up
to 100 meters of OM-4 multi-mode fiber.
Every Cisco NCS 6000 FCC can accommodate up to 12 S2 fabric cards. When multiple FCCs are installed
in a multi-chassis system, the S2 FCs are distributed across the FCCs. Each S2 FC supports up to 32 CXP
modules. Each S2 FC2 supports up to 32 CXP2 modules. The following table lists the physical characteristic
for the S2 FC.
