Overview

The Cisco NCS 6008 chassis is a mechanical enclosure that contains a chassis midplane and packet
interfaces on line cards cross-connected to each other through a switch fabric. The chassis has eight slots
at the front for Line Cards (LCs), two slots at the rear for Route Processor (RP) cards, and six slots at
the rear for Fabric Cards (FCs).

The Cisco NCS 6008 chassis has an integrated rack and does not require an external rack. It is bolted to
the facility floor. It contains its own power and cooling systems. Power systems are available using AC
or DC power.

This chapter provides information about the Cisco NCS 6008 chassis before you unpack it and transport
it to the final installation location.

• Safety Guidelines, page 1-2

• Site Preparation, page 1-3

• Dolly Specifications, page 1-4

Chassis Packaging

Depending on the number of options that you ordered, the Cisco NCS 6008 chassis arrives packaged in
several shipping crates and pallets. The chassis is shipped on a pallet by itself and arrives inside a
polyethylene bag enclosed in a plywood box, held in place by steel clips. Other system components are
shipped in separate crates and can arrive at the final chassis site at different times.

For complete details on the contents of your shipment, see the inventory and parts identification label on
the crate. The total number of pallets depend on the details of the options that you ordered, with each
package containing a label that describes the contents.

Note The following list is only a sample of what a Cisco NCS 6008 chassis shipment contains. For complete

details on the contents of each pallet, see the shipping and parts identification label on the pallet or the
shipping manifest.

• Dolly pallet—Contains two dolly units in the 90-degree position (Figure 1-3).

• Chassis pallet—Contains the chassis itself encased in a polyethylene bag and covered with a wooden

packing crate held together with metal brackets. The chassis is the first shipping box to be unpacked
and transported to its final installation location.

Chassis Specifications

The chassis is shipped with the fan trays and Craft Panel already installed. A plastic panel covers
the rear card cage.

The drill hole template (Cisco product ID NC8-LCC-DRILLTEMP) is attached to the inside of the
shipping crate door.

• Power components pallet—Contains the power components, including the Power Modules (PMs).

• Primary card pallet—Contains the FCs, LCs, and RP cards.

• Cosmetics pallet—Contains the default cosmetic components for the exterior of the chassis. This

pallet will also contain any optional cosmetic components for the exterior of the chassis, if ordered.

Safety Guidelines

Caution Before you perform any procedure in this document, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid

injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.

The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. Guidelines do not include all
hazards. Be alert.

Note Review the safety warnings listed in Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco NCS

Network Convergence System before installing, configuring, or troubleshooting any installed card.

Chapter 1

• 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 associated components.

• Use Cisco equipment in accordance with its specifications and product-usage instructions.

• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

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 strap whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components.

Follow these guidelines for preventing 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 connection socket or bare metal
surface on the chassis.

Site Preparation

• 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 the card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from only ESD

voltage on the body: ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage.

Caution When unpacking and setting parts aside, it is important to set them either in their original antistatic

packaging or on an antistatic mat to avoid ESD damage.

Site Preparation

Before moving the chassis into place and securing it, you must make sure that your site is prepared.
Verify that the securing location provides the recommended space and ensure that you have enough space
available for installation and maintenance of the chassis and its components.

For additional details on making your site ready for the chassis, see the Cisco Network Convergence

System 6000 Series Routers Site Planning Guide.

System Installation Templates

Because of its size and weight, the chassis must be securely bolted to the floor. Cisco provides a drill
hole template (Figure 1-1) that ships attached to the inside of the crate door. The template identifies the
chassis footprint and the pattern of holes that must be drilled into the floor for the mounting hardware
that secures the chassis to the floor.

Dolly Specifications

The optional dolly that is available for the Cisco NCS 6008 chassis is flexible enough to meet several
challenges common when first positioning a chassis of this size and weight. Such challenges include
limited hallway or doorway width, doorway thresholds, ramps, and tight corners along the transport
route. To overcome these challenges, use the dolly in either of the following configurations:

• 90-degree configuration—The dolly assemblies are shipped in this configuration. In some cases, this

configuration is needed to transport the chassis. Use the 90-degree configuration (Figure 1-5) to
move the chassis off the pallet. Extra care should be used in this configuration to ensure that the
chassis does not tip too far and fall during transport.

Chapter 1

Dolly Specifications

• 180-degree configuration—This configuration is a more stable configuration for transporting the

chassis. The 180-degree position (Figure 1-6) is the recommended configuration for moving the
chassis.

Both configurations are acceptable to transport the as-shipped chassis.

Note The optional NCS 6008 lift dolly is available from Cisco with PID NCS-LIFT. If you already have a CRS

lift dolly, you can order PID NCS-LIFT-BRKT, which is the CRS lift upgrade to the NCS 6008.

Table 1-2 lists the specifications for the NCS 6008 lift dolly.

Unpacking the Dolly

We recommend the use of the dolly to move the chassis. The dolly is an optional item that you can order.
The shipping crate contains the dolly units, positioned in the 90-degree configuration (Figure 1-3). This
section describes how to unpack and position the dolly units.

Note In the event that the dolly supplied by Cisco is not the appropriate method of transportation, consult with

Cisco support to determine a method of transportation appropriate for the site. Ensure that the alternate
moving device is capable of supporting the weight of the chassis, moving the chassis safely, and
preventing the chassis from tipping too far and falling during transport.

Required Tools and Equipment

• 3/8-inch ratchet wrench

• 5/8-inch socket

• Flat-blade screwdriver

Steps

Step 1 Carefully move the pallet containing the dolly to the location where you plan to unpack it. The dolly

arrives as two separate, identical units, one unit each for the front and back of the chassis.

Step 2 Use the flat-blade screwdriver to remove the clip from the dolly shipping crate (Figure 1-2).
