Workbench or T abletop Installation

Figure 1: Installing the System on a Flat Surface

For a workbench or tabletop installation, verify the following before installing the SCE 2000 platform:

• The SCE 2000 platform is off the floor and has adequate ventilation.

• An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for the SCE 2000 platform.

• The SCE 2000 platform has at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance at each side and at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of

clearance at the rear to allow proper airflow.

Step 1 Remove the adhesive strips from the four rubber feet and affix the feet onto the four marked locations on the

bottom panel of the unit.

Step 2 Place the SCE 2000 platform on the tabletop or workbench.

3 Rack-Mount the SCE 2000

This section provides information for rack-mounting the SCE 2000 platform. There are two standard types of equipment racks, and the appropriate brackets for each are provided in the enclosed kit.

• 19” rack with front rack posts: the mounting kit includes two mounting brackets as illustrated below

• 19” rack with front and back rack posts: in addition to the mounting brackets illustrated below, the mounting kit

includes two crossrail supports that the unit slides onto.

Mounting Brackets for 2-post Rack Mounting Brackets for 4-post Rack

The SCE 2000 mounts to the two front rack posts with brackets that attach to the front of the SCE 2000 The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.3 inches (44 cm).

Note

Remember to leave a two-inch (5 cm) clearance on both sides of the SCE 2000 and at the rear for adeq u ate airflow for the inlet and exhaust vents.

Attach the Bracket s to the SCE 2000

Before installing the SCE 2000 in the rack, you must first install an appropriate rack-mount bracket on each side of the front of the SCE 2000, as illustrated in the following figures.

Figure 2: Attaching the Mounting Brackets (4-post)

Figure 3: Attaching the Mounting Brackets (2-post)

To install the rack-mount brackets on the SCE 2000 chassis, complete the following steps: Before installing the SCE 2000 in the rack, you must first install a rack-mount bracket on each side of the front of the

SCE 2000.

Step 3 Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the SCE 2000. Choose the proper bracket for your installation (2-

post rack or 4-post rack) as illustrated in Rack-Mount the SCE 2000 (on page 7).

Step 4 Insert and tighten three screws. Step 5 Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other side of the SCE 2000.

If mounting the SCE 2000 in a rack with only two posts, skip to Mounting the System to a Rack.

If mounting the SCE 2000 in a rack with four posts, proceed to the next step to attach the crossrail supports to the rack.

Installing the Crossrail Support s (Four-post rack only)

This section provides information for assembling the crossrail supports and attaching them to the rack. When mounting in a rack with four posts (front and back) the two crossrail supports are mounted one on each side of the

rack. The SCE 2000 then slides into these crossrails, which support the weight of the unit.

Assemble the Crossrail Supports

Figure 4: Assembling the Slider Brackets

Step 1 Assemble the two crossrail supports. Use three screws for each crossrail assembly.

Make sure that they are oriented so that both crossrails will support the SCE 2000 when they are attached to the rack.

Attach the Crossrail Supports to the Rack

Figure 5: Attaching the Crossrails to the Rack

Step 1 Align the crossrail supports with the side of the rack, parallel to the floor. Step 2 Insert and tighten two screws to the front posts or mounting strips of the rack Step 3 Insert and tighten two screws to the Back posts of the rack. Step 4 Repeat steps 2 through 4 on the other side of the rack, keeping the brackets flush against the posts and parallel to

the supporting bracket on first side of the rack.

Mount the System to the Rack

When the appropriate mounting brackets are securely installed, the SCE 2000 can be installed into the rack.

Figure 6: Sliding the SCE 2000 into the Rack

Step 1 Make sure that the rack brakes are locked or that the rack is otherwise stabilized. Step 2 Position the SCE 2000 so that the front end is closest to you, and lift it carefully to place it into the rack. To

prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.

Step 3 Slide the SCE 2000 into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets (installed at the front of the SCE 2000) meet

the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.

A rack with both front and back posts will have the crossrail supports installed. Slide the SCE 2000 onto these crossrails and push it all the way back.

Step 4 While keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the

holes on the rack or mounting strip.

Figure 7: Securing the SCE 2000 to the Rack

Step 5

Note

For each bracket, insert and tighten two appropriate screws to the rack.

Since the brackets support the weight of the entire SCE 2000 chassis, be sure to use all four screws to fasten the two rackmount brackets to the rack posts.

4 Connect the Power Supply Units

This section provides information for grounding the SCE 2000 platform and connecting the AC or DC power supply units.

Connect the Chassis Ground

Figure 8: Grounding the Unit (AC)

Figure 9: Grounding the Unit (DC)

A Grounding kit is provided with each SCE 2000. Use this Grounding kit to properly ground the SCE 2000 chassis.

Warning

When installing the unit, the chassis ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

Step 1 On the rear panel of the SCE 2000, locate the chassis grounding connector (refer to the appropriate figure for an

AC- or DC-powered SCE 2000 above).

Step 2 Attach the grounding cable (green and yellow colored cable), firmly fastening the (enclosed) hex nuts and spring

washers with a #¼” hex wrench (refer to the appropriate figure for an AC- or DC-powered SCE 2000 above).

The other side of the grounding cable must be connected to the site equivalent of the AC earth.

Connect the Power

The following sections describe how to reconnect the AC or DC power:

• Connect the DC-Input Power Supply Unit (on page 15)

• Connect the AC-Input Power Supply Unit (on page 17)

Connect the DC -Input Power Supply Unit

Figure 10: Connecting the DC Power

Warning

Before completing any of the following steps, and to prevent short-circuit or shock hazards, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power to the power supply unit is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. Note that the power to the relevant power supply unit should be off, not necessarily all power to the SCE 2000 platform. One DC-input power supply can be running when the other power supply is being removed or replaced.

Wiring should be done by a professional in accordance with state and local electrical codes.

Step 1 Ensure that the DC power line input leads are disconnected from the power source. Step 2 Using the number 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the protective plate from the terminal block. Step 3 Insert one receptacle screw into the hex or loop connector on one power line input, insert the screw with the

connector into the corresponding lead receptacle and tighten the receptacle screw using the number 2 Phillips. Repeat for the remaining power line input lead.

Note

The color-coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color-coding of the DC power source at your site. Make certain the lead color coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches lead color coding used at the DC power source.

Note

Use 12 AWG (2.5 mm) copper wire only with hex or loop connectors. Ring terminals must be UL approved and suitable for 12 A WG wire.

Step 4 Using the number 2 Phillips screwdriver, securely fasten the protective plate to the terminal block. Step 5 Connect the DC power line input leads to the DC power source through a fast 4A circuit breaker. Step 6 Turn the on/off switch to the on (⏐) position. Step 7 Look at the IN and OK LEDs on the power supply unit and the corresponding Power LED on the front panel. If

the DC-input power supply unit is operating properly, these LEDs will be glowing green.

Step 8 Ensure that the power supply is properly aligned and the installation screw is tightened.

This completes the steps for reconnecting the DC-input power supply to the SCE 2000 platform.

the AC-input power supply unit is operating properly, these LEDs will be glowing green.

Step 5 Ensure that the power supply is properly aligned and the installation screw is tightened.

5 Connect the Management Interfaces and Perform Initial System

Configuration

This section explains how to connect the SCE 2000 platform to a local console and perform the initial system configuration via the setup wizard that runs automatically.

Additionally, this section contains instructions for cabling the Fast Ethernet Management interface.

Note

When installing a cascaded system, it is extremely important to follow the sequence of procedures outlined in the section Installing a Cascaded System (on page 56).

Connect the Local Console

Figure 12: Connecting to the Local Console

You must first connect the unit to a local console and configure the initial settings for the SCE 2000 to support remote management. When the initial connection is established, the setup utility will run automatically, prompting you to perform the initial system configuration.

Make sure that the terminal configuration is as follows:

• 9600 baud

• 8 data bits

• No Parity

• 1 stop bits

• No flow control

The above SCE 2000 port parameters are fixed and are not configurable.

Step 1 Plug the RS-232 serial cable provided with the SCE 2000 into the CON port on the front panel of the SCE 2000. Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable (with an attached DB-9 connector) to the VT100 compatible local

(serial) terminal.

Step 3 At the console, press Enter several times until the Cisco logo appears on the local terminal and the setup

configuration dialog is entered.

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

At any point you may enter a question mark ‘?’ followed by ‘Enter’ for help. Use ctrl-C to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Use ctrl-Z to jump to the end of the configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets ‘[]’.

Would you like to continue with the System Configuration Dialog? [yes/no]: y

Step 4 Type y and press Enter.

The system configuration dialog begins.

Initial System Configuration

Upon initial connection to the local terminal, as described above, the system configuration wizard automatically runs to guide the user through the entire setup process. The wizard prompts for all necessary parameters, displaying default values, where applicable. You may accept the default values or define other values.

With the exception of the time settings, which take effect immediately when entered, the new configuration is applied and saved only at the end of the dialog when approved by the user. Therefore, if the setup dialog is aborted, no change takes place in the configuration, other than time settings (if entered).

When the dialog is complete, you may review the new configuration before applying it. The system displays the configuration, including parameters that were not changed. The system also displays any errors that are detected in the configuration. When the configuration is satisfactory, you may apply and save the new configuration.

The following table lists all the parameters included in the initial configuration. It is recommended that you obtain values for any parameters that you will configure at this time before beginning the setup.

Note
