The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency
energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment
has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These
specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment
or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of
the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

Mechanical Installation

WarningInstallation should be performed by authorized personnel only.

Site Preparation

The BPX has the following site preparation requirements.

• Space

Each BPX shelf requires floor space of 22 inches (55.9 cm) wide and 80 inches (203.2 cm) deep
to assure sufficient clearance around the cabinet to allow access to the front and back of the unit.

• Power

An AC or DC power source must be available within 6 feet (2 m.) of the rear of the BPX shelf.
A maximum configuration for an AC powered BPX may require up to 2333 VA (13 A at 180 VAC,
10 A at 230 VAC). A maximum configuration for a DC powered BPX may require up to 1680
Watts (40 A at –42 VDC, 35 A at -48 VDC).

• Cooling

The site must be capable of maintaining an ambient temperature of 40°C maximum
(recommended range 20°C to 30°C) while the system is operating. A fully loaded BPX may
dissipate up to 7200 BTUs. It is extremely important that the BPX is positioned to assure an
unrestricted air flow through the enclosure.

Weight

A fully loaded, AC-version, BPX node can weigh up to 213 pounds (97 Kgs). A fully-loaded
DC-version BPX may weigh up to 163 pounds (74 Kgs).

Cooling

CautionIf the BPX is to be mounted in an enclosed cabinet, assure that a free flow of air in and out

of the enclosure is provided. Contact Customer Service for further information.

Horizontal Positioning

BPX shelves are designed to be mounted to two sets of vertical mounting rails in either a STRATM
cabinet or a standard 19-inch equipment rack with unrestricted front to rear air flow. When installed
in a STRATM cabinet (Figure2-2), the front flanges of the BPX are secured to the front rails of the
STRATM cabinet. In factory installations, rear support is provided by rear mounting rails in the
cabinet at a setback of 19.86 inches. As an option, a rear set of rails located at a setback of
approximately 30 inches may be used for rear support.

BPX shelves can also be mid-mounted to an open T-Rail type rack (Figure2-3) with unrestricted
front to rear air flow. To facilitate this type of installation, brackets may be fastened to the BPX shelf
at a 5 or 10 inch setback for supporting the front of the BPX shelf. Additional rear mounting support
is also recommended. Contact Customer Service for further information.

Vertical Positioning

For recommended typical equipment configurations in a STRATM cabinet, refer to AppendixA,
STRATM Cabinet Dimensions.

Installing a BPX Shelf, Preliminary Steps

The BPX is designed for mounting in a standard 19-inch (48.25 cm.) equipment rack such as the
standard STRATM cabinet. A minimum width between rails of 17.750 inches (44.45 cm) is required
(Figure2-5 and Figure2-6). Mounting flanges are permanently attached to the front edge of the BPX
shelf. It is recommended that the shelf be mounted with all plug-in cards temporarily removed to
lessen the weight.

There are two types of BPX shelves, AC powered and DC powered. When an AC powered BPX shelf
is installed, an AC Power Supply Tray is installed directly below it. The DC Powered BPX Shelf
contains factory installed DC power entry modules (PEMs) within the shelf itself.

A temporary support bracket and spacer bracket is furnished to ease installation. The pallet tray part
of the shipping container is used in the installation of the BPX. This wooden pallet tray that is
shipped under the BPX chassis is used to lift, align, and support the chassis during installation in a
rack.

The following instructions are for BPX Shelf installation in a STRATM cabinet which has rear rails
at 19.86 inches (50.5 cm) or in a customer supplied standard 19-inch (48.25 cm)_ equipment rack
with rear rails at a 30 inch (76.2 cm) setback.

NoteInstallation in a non-STRATM cabinet or T-Rail type rack is similar to installation in a

STRATM cabinet. Contact Customer Service for recommended rear support details.

Mechanical Installation

To install the BPX in a rack proceed as follows:

Step1 Position the shipping container and pallet in front of the cabinet with the rear of the

chassis towards the cabinet. Remove the foam strips on the sides, front, and rear.

Step2 Remove the card retaining bracket from the front of the chassis by unscrewing the four

Phillips screws. This bracket is used to retain the boards during shipping.

Step3 Remove the Air Intake Grill and all front and rear cards from the shelf and temporarily

set aside as follows:

(a) Locate the small access hole in the top center of the front Air Intake Grille below the

card slots (see Figure2-4 for location).

(b) Insert a small slotted blade screwdriver (0.20/0.25 inch blade width) into the access

hole until it stops (approximately 1 inch).

(c) Carefully rotate the screwdriver approximately a quarter turn in either direction. The

top of the Air Intake Grille should spring out.

(d) Remove Air Intake Grille.

CautionGround yourself before handling BPX cards by placing a wrist strap on your wrist and

clipping the strap lead to the cabinet.

(e) To remove the cards, rotate the extractor handles at the top and bottom of each card

to release the card and slide it out.

Step4

Decide where the BPX is to be located. Refer to Figure2-2 through Figure2-6 for typical
mounting dimensions. Also, for typical mounting configuration examples, refer to
AppendixA, STRATM Cabinet Dimensions. The appendix lists dimensions in inches,
centimeters, and rack mounting units (RMUs). The top of the spacer bracket should be
temporarily installed in the rack 22.75" (57.8 cm.) below the location selected for the top
of the BPX chassis.

Step5 Install the temporary support brackets and spacer bracket (shipped with the unit). Use two

mounting screws to attach each temporary support bracket and two screws to attach the
temporary spacer bracket to the rack (Figure2-7 and Figure2-8).
