THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
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.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
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.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
Cisco uBR7100 Series Routers Physical Description
Figure 1-3 shows the front panel for all models of the Cisco uBR7100 series routers.
Figure 1-3 Cisco uBR7100 Series Front Panel
All Cisco uBR7100 series routers have one power supply with one AC-input power receptacle. A power cable connects the AC-input power supply to the site AC power source. The router’s main power switch is located next to the AC-input power receptacle. Separate power cords are available, depending on the country of operation.
On the side of each chassis are two chassis ground receptacles—choose the most convenient set for a chassis ground connection for a two-hole grounding lug, and the other set can provide a mounting location for the cable management bracket. On the back of the chassis, there is a receptacle for electrostatic discharge (ESD) equipment.
Four internal fans draw cooling air into the chassis (back to front) and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature. There are four environmental sensors for monitoring the cooling air as it leaves the chassis. For more information on environmental monitoring, see the
“Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions” section on page 6-2.
Caution To ensure the proper flow of cooling air across the internal components, a port adapter must be installed
in the port adapter slot. If no port adapter is installed, install a blank port adapter (the product number is MAS-7100-PABLANK=). Slot 5 has a blank face plate. For proper airflow, make sure that a blank faceplate is always installed in slot 5. (The product number is SM-BLANK=).
The modular port adapter slides into the chassis slot and connects directly to the router; there are no internal cables to connect.
The port adapter, fixed cable interface, and fixed LAN interface connect to two peripheral component interconnect (PCI) buses on the router’s backplane that provide a path to packet I/O memory and the system processor. For more information, see the
“Peripheral Component Interconnect Buses” section on
page 1-15.
Cisco uBR7100 series routers can be installed on a tabletop or in an equipment rack. Rubber feet for tabletop installation are included in the accessory kit that shipped with your router.
A rack-mount and cable-management kit is also standard equipment included with all Cisco uBR7100 series routers when they are shipped from the factory. The kit provides the hardware needed to mount the router in a standard 19-inch, four-post or telco-type equipment rack. The rack-mount kit also provides the hardware necessary to manage the interface cables attached to the router.
Note Hardware to install the Cisco uBR7100 series in a 23-inch or 24-inch rack can also be ordered separately
(the order number is ACS-7100-RMK=).

Fixed Interface Units
Instructions for installing the router on a tabletop, installing the router in an equipment rack, and attaching the cable-management bracket are given in
Chapter 3, “Installing Cisco uBR7100 Series
Universal Broadband Routers.”
Fixed Interface Units
The Cisco uBR7100 series universal broadband router contains the following fixed interfaces:
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN Interface, page 1-6
RF Cable Interface, page 1-6
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN Interface
The Cisco uBR7100 series contains a fixed LAN Ethernet/Fast Ethernet autosensing interface with two separately routable 100BASE-TX ports. Both ports support full-duplex and half-duplex operation, and automatically determine whether the attached network is a 10-Mbps 10BASE-T Ethernet or a 100-Mbps, 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network. Each port uses an RJ-45 connector with Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) wiring.
RF Cable Interface
The Cisco uBR7100 series router includes a fixed cable interface card that provides one downstream port and from one to four upstream ports, depending on the model.
On the Cisco uBR7111 and Cisco uBR7114 routers, the cable interface supports the North American DOCSIS channel plan, with a 6 MHz National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) channel width, with a 5 to 42 MHz upstream frequency range. The downstream supports the 54 to 858 MHz frequency range with 64 QAM and 256 QAM data rates, while the upstream supports QPSK and 16
QAM data
rates.
On the Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E routers, the cable interface supports the EuroDOCSIS channel plan, with an 8 MHz pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and SECAM channel width, with a 5
to 65 MHz upstream frequency range. The downstream supports the 54 to 858 MHz frequency range
with 64 QAM and 256 QAM data rates, while the upstream supports QPSK and 16
QAM data rates.
Two downstream connectors are provided:
DS0 RF—Outputs the downstream after it has been processed by the router’s integrated upconverter,
thereby creating an RF signal suitable for connection to a combiner and transmission on the coaxial cable network.
DS0—Outputs the downstream as an IF signal, requiring an external upconverter to process the
signal for output on the coaxial cable network.
Note On the Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E routers, the DS0 connector is automatically muted when
the DS0 RF port is enabled.

You can identify interfaces by using software commands. To display information about all interfaces, use the show interfaces command. To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the interface type, slot number, and port number in the format show interfaces type slot/port.
The following example shows how the show interfaces command, used without arguments, displays status information (including the slot and port number) for each interface in a Cisco
uBR7100 series
router. In the following example, most of the status information for each interface is omitted:

For information on the other commands used to configure the router, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guides and command references. See the
“Related Documentation” section on page 8.
MAC Addresses
The Media Access Control (MAC) or hardware address is a standardized data-link layer address that is required for certain network interface types. These addresses are not used by other devices in the network; they are specific and unique to each port. The router uses a specific method to assign and control the MAC addresses of its port adapter.
All LAN interfaces (ports) require unique MAC addresses. Typically, the MAC address of an interface is stored on a memory component that resides directly on the interface circuitry; however, the online insertion and removal (OIR) feature requires a different method. For a description of OIR, see the
“Online Insertion and Removal” section on page 1-15.
The OIR feature allows you to remove a port adapter and replace it with another identically configured one. If the new port adapter matches the port adapter you removed, the system immediately brings it online.
1-15
Cisco uBR7100 Series and Cisco uBR7100E Series Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide
OL-5916-01
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Functional Overview
To allow OIR, an address allocator with unique MAC addresses is stored in an EEPROM on the router. Each address is reserved for a specific port and slot in the router regardless of whether a port adapter resides in that slot.
The MAC addresses for port adapters are assigned to slot 3 in Cisco uBR7100 series routers, not to a particular port adapter. Assigning MAC addresses to the slot and not to the port adapter allows you to remove a port adapter and insert the port adapter into other routers without causing the MAC addresses to move around the network or to be assigned to multiple devices.
Note Storing the MAC addresses for every slot in one central location means the addresses stay with the
memory device on which they are stored.
Online Insertion and Removal
The modular port adapter installed in Cisco uBR7100 series routers supports OIR. This function allows you to install and replace a port adapter while the router is operating; you do not need to notify the software or shut down the system power. This provides a method that is seamless to end users on the network, maintains all routing information, and preserves sessions.
The following is a functional description of OIR for background information only; for specific procedures for installing and replacing a port adapter in a Cisco
uBR7100 series router, see the
configuration note that ships with each port adapter.
Each port adapter has a bus connector that connects it to the router. Each connector has a set of tiered pins in three lengths that send specific signals to the system as they make contact with the port adapter. The system assesses the signals it receives and the order in which it receives them to determine if a port adapter is being removed or inserted into the router. From these signals, the system determines whether to reinitialize a new interface or shut down a removed interface. For example, when you insert a port adapter, the longest pins make contact with the port adapter first, and the shortest pins make contact last. The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it receives them.
When you remove or insert a port adapter in a Cisco uBR7100 series router, the port adapter pins send signals to notify the system, which then performs as follows:
1. Rapidly scans the system for configuration changes.
2. Initializes all newly inserted port adapters, noting any removed interfaces and placing them in the
administratively shutdown state.
3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the port adapter back to the state they were in when
they were removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown state, as if they were present (but not configured) at boot time. If a similar port adapter type is reinserted into a slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count of the original port adapter.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Buses
All interfaces connect to two Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) buses on the router that provide a path to packet I/O memory and the network processor. Slots 1 and 3 use PCI bus 0, and slot 0 uses PCI
bus 1. The maximum recommended bandwidth points on each PCI bus is 600 points.
Note Slots 2, 4, and 5 are not used in the Cisco uBR7100 series routers.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
Functional Overview
Network Processor Card
The network processor card resides inside the chassis and is shown in Figure 1-6 on page 1-17. The network processor card provides the following features:
Senses OIR of the port adapter
Bridges the PCI buses from the interfaces to packet memory
Arbitrates traffic across the PCI buses
Generates the clock signals for the interfaces on each PCI bus
The network processor card also performs the following system management functions:
Sending and receiving routing protocol updates
Managing tables, caches, and buffers
Monitoring interface and environmental status
Providing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management and the console or Telnet
interface
Accounting and switching of data traffic
Booting and reloading images
Managing port adapters (recognition and initialization during OIR)
Note For instructions for removing and replacing memory components on the network processor card, such
as the SDRAM DIMMs, refer to Memory Replacement Instructions for the Network Processing Engine or Network Services Engine and Input/Output Controller at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/7206/fru/memory/index.htm
The network processor card consists of the following components:
Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) microprocessor running at 175 MHz
Two system controllers—Provide processor access to two separate banks of SDRAM and permit
devices on both PCI buses to access either SDRAM bank. This means that devices on different PCI buses can access different SDRAM banks simultaneously.
Upgradable memory modules—SDRAM system memory defaults to 128 MB and can be upgraded
to either 192 MB or 256 MB. (SDRAM packet memory is fixed at 64 MB.) SDRAM memory stores packets received or sent from network interfaces, routing tables, and network accounting applications. The two independent SDRAM memory arrays allow concurrent access by interfaces and the processor. For information about accessing the SDRAM memory modules, refer to the
“Upgrading the SDRAM Memory Modules” section on page 6-11.
Note The network processor card contains two SDRAM slots for user-configurable system memory, DIMM
1 and DIMM 2. The amount of memory installed in slot DIMM 1 must be greater than or equal to the memory installed in slot
DIMM 2. Slot DIMM 2 is zero for the default memory configuration of
128 MB. Slot DIMM 0 is used only for packet memory and is fixed at 64 MB in the factory.
Cache memory—Cisco uBR7100 series routers have two levels of cache: a primary cache that is
internal to the microprocessor and a secondary, 2-MB (fixed) external cache that provides additional high-speed storage for data and instructions.

Safety Guidelines
Electrostatic Discharge Prevention
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.
Figure 2-1 illustrates how to attach an electrostatic discharge wrist strap.
Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when you remove and replace components. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted ESD voltages. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and
10 megohms (Mohm).
Figure 2-1 Attaching an Electrostatic Discharge Wrist Strap
Chassis Lifting Guidelines
A fully configured Cisco uBR7100 series router weighs approximately 32 pounds (14.5 kg). The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the router, ensure that your site is properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
Whenever you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:
Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.
Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the object between your feet.
Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down to lift the
chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.
Lift the chassis from the bottom; grasp the underside of the chassis exterior with both hands.

Site Requirement Guidelines
Site Requirement Guidelines
Warning
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.
Statement 1017
The environmental monitoring functionality in the router protects the system and components from potential damage from overvoltage and overtemperature conditions. To ensure that normal operation and avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your site configuration and prepare your site before installation. After installation, make sure the site maintains an ambient temperature of 32°F through 104°F (0°C through 40°C), and keep the area around the chassis as free from dust as is practical.
Planning a proper location for the router and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful system operation. Equipment placed too close together or inadequately ventilated can cause system overtemperature conditions. In addition, chassis panels made inaccessible by poor equipment placement can make system maintenance difficult. Following are precautions that can help avoid problems during installation and ongoing operation.
Follow these general precautions when planning your equipment locations and connections:
Plan for access to both front and rear panels of the chassis.
Ensure that the room where the chassis operates has adequate ventilation. Remember that electrical
equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate ventilation.
Use the show environment command regularly to check the internal system status. The
environmental monitor continually checks the interior chassis environment; it provides warnings for high temperature and maximum and minimum voltages and creates reports on any occurrences. If warning messages are displayed, take immediate action to identify the cause and correct the problem.
We recommend keeping the router off the floor and out of any area that tends to collect dust.
Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge
can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
Ensure that the port adapter (or the blank port adapter) is in place and secure for proper cooling. The
fans direct cooling air throughout the chassis interior; a loose component or empty slot can redirect the air flow away from active components.
Rack-Mounting Guidelines
The rack-mounting hardware included with router is suitable for standard 19-inch equipment racks and telco-type racks; brackets for 23- and 24-inch racks are available separately. To easily access the interface cables while the router is installed in a rack make certain that you have access to the rear of the router.
Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair rack-mount installation. If a power strip does impair a rear rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing the router in the rack, and then replace it after the chassis is installed. As an alternative, you can mount the router on an equipment shelf, provided that the rack dimensions allow you to secure the router to the shelf and the overall configuration permits safe installation and access. However, we recommend rack-mounting the router.

Figure 2-2 shows the chassis outer dimensions and required footprint for the Cisco uBR7114 universal
broadband router. The dimensions for the other models of Cisco uBR7100 series routers are identical.
Figure 2-2 Cisco uBR7114 Router Footprint and Outer Dimensions
To use the rack-mounting hardware provided with the router, consider the following guidelines:
To mount the router between two posts or rails using the brackets, the inner clearance (the width
between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 17
inches (43.18 cm).
The height of the chassis is 3.5 inches (8.89 cm).
When mounting the router in four-post or telco-type racks, be sure to use all the screws and the
brackets provided to secure the chassis to the rack posts.
If you plan to use an equipment shelf, ensure that the shelf is constructed to support the weight and
dimensions of the chassis.
Figure 2-2 shows the chassis footprint, which you need if you are
designing a customized shelf. We recommend that you use the rack-mount kit designed for Cisco
uBR7100 series routers.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirement Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
Install the router in an open rack whenever possible. If installation in an enclosed rack is
unavoidable, ensure that the rack has adequate ventilation.
An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air, because heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above.
Caution To prevent chassis overheating, never install the router in an enclosed rack or room that is not properly
ventilated or air conditioned.
Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each unit generates heat. Maintain a minimum
clearance of 3 inches (7.62 cm) on the back and front of the chassis for the cooling air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively.
Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also helps to draw cooling air through the
chassis. The best placement of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack, which can be found by experimenting with different configurations.
When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails, try operating the
equipment by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack to allow the unit under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.
Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it
back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or removing a port adapter or connecting cables). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance to remove the port adapter.
Install the chassis and external devices to which it will connect in a contiguous stack.
Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity and
prevent the rack from falling over.
If you use telco-type racks, be sure that the rack is bolted to the floor and secured, because in these
types of installations only one end of the chassis mounts to the two rack posts with the brackets. Ensure that the weight of the chassis does not make the rack unstable.
Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.
Note We strongly recommend that you provide a chassis ground connection. (See “Attaching the System
Ground Connection” section on page 3-5 for instructions.)
In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding overtemperature conditions in the following section, “
Temperature and Humidity Requirements.” To properly install a
Cisco uBR7100 series chassis in a rack, see the instructions given in “Rack-Mounting the Chassis”
section on page 3-3.
Temperature and Humidity Requirements
Table 2-1 lists the operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements. The ranges listed are
those within which Cisco uBR7100 series routers continue to operate; however, a measurement that is approaching the minimum or maximum of a range indicates a potential problem. You can maintain normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they approach a maximum operating range.

Power Connection Guidelines
Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning power connections to a Cisco uBR7100 series router:
Check the power at your site before installation and periodically after installation to ensure that you
are receiving clean power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
The AC power supply includes the following features:
Autoselects either 110V or 220V operation.
All units include a 6-foot (1.8-meter) electrical power cord that is appropriate for the country of operation.
Warning
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than: 15A minimum, 60VDC.
Statement 1005
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 1024
Use a grounded AC power outlet and install proper grounding to avoid damage from lightning and
power surges.
The AC-input power supply operates on input voltage and frequency within the ranges of 100 to
240
VRMS and 50/60 Hz without the need for operator adjustments. This power supply also incorporates an active power factor corrector that minimizes the unwanted generation of line current harmonics that can cause overload of site electrical distribution systems.
Note We recommend an uninterruptible power source to protect against power failures at your
site. We recommend powering a Cisco
uBR7100 series router from a 15A receptacle at the
power source.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirement Guidelines
Note The Cisco uBR7100 series router installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for
use with copper conductors only. If installing the router in a central office environment that requires Telcordia grounding, the ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material and preclude loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material. Attachment of the chassis ground to a central office or other interior ground system should be made with a minimum 6-AWG, copper ground conductor.
To satisfy Telcordia grounding requirements, the chassis provides two threaded chassis grounding receptacles, located on the sides near the rear of the chassis, which are intended to be bonded directly to the central offices or other interior ground system. The chassis ground requires 3.5 mm screws, which are included. See
“Attaching the System Ground Connection” section on page 3-5 for instructions on
attaching the system ground.
Plant Wiring Guidelines
Following are guidelines for setting up the plant wiring and cabling at your site. When planning the location of the new system, consider the distance limitations for signaling, EMC, and connector compatibility, as described in the following sections.
Interference Considerations
When wires are run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur between the field and the signals on the wires. This fact has two implications for the construction of plant wiring:
Bad wiring practice can result in radio interference emanating from the plant wiring.
Strong electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially when it is caused by lightning or radio
transmitters, can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the router, and can even create an electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines and into equipment. (Review the safety warnings in the
“Electrical Equipment Guidelines” section on page 2-3.)
Note To predict and remedy strong EMI, you may also need to consult experts in radio frequency interference
(RFI).
If you use twisted-pair cable in your plant wiring with a good distribution of grounding conductors, the plant wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference. If you exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.
If wires exceed recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have had problems of this sort in the past, you may want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.

OL-5916-01
Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirement Guidelines
Distance Limitations and Interface Specifications
The size of your networks and the distances between connections depend on the type of signal, the signal speed, and the transmission media (the type of cabling used to transmit the signals). For example, standard coaxial cable has a greater channel capacity than twisted-pair cabling. The distance and rate limits in the following descriptions are the IEEE recommended maximum speeds and distances for signaling; however, you can usually get good results at speeds and distances far greater than these. For example, the recommended maximum rate for V.35 is 2
Mbps, but it is commonly used at 4 Mbps without any problems. If you understand the electrical problems that might arise and can compensate for them, you should get good results with rates and distances greater than those shown here; however, do so at your own risk.
Note We recommend that you do not exceed specified transmission rate and distance limits.
When preparing your site for network connections to a Cisco uBR7100 series router, you must consider a number of factors related to each type of interface:
The type of cabling required for each type (fiber, thick or thin coaxial, foil-twisted pair [FTP], or
unshielded twisted-pair [UTP] cabling)
Distance limitations for each signal type
The specific cables you need to connect each interface
Any additional interface equipment you need, such as transceivers, hubs, switches, modems,
channel service units (CSUs), or data service units (DSUs)
Cable pinouts if you plan to build your cables
Note The specific interface information you need is contained in the documentation that is shipped with each
port adapter.
Also see Appendix C, “Cable Specifications,” for cabling information.
Before installing a Cisco uBR7100 series router, have all additional external equipment and cables on hand. For ordering information, contact a customer service representative.
Ethernet Connections
There are two 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports on the rear panel of the router. Both ports use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. We recommend Category 5 UTP cable. The maximum segment distance is 328
feet (100 meters). UTP cables look like the cables used for ordinary telephones; however,
UTP cables meet certain electrical standards that telephone cables do not. Cables are not included.
Port Adapter WAN Connections
Cisco uBR7100 series routers support a number of port adapters that provide different WAN connection ports on the rear panel of the router. For more information on the cables used with the WAN ports, see the documentation that accompanies the port adapter, as well as
Appendix C, “Cable Specifications,”

Warning
This equipment must be installed and maintained by service personnel as defined by AS/NZS 3260. Incorrectly connecting this equipment to a general-purpose outlet could be hazardous. The telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector or 2) while the housing is open, or both.
Statement 1043
Warning
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the unit first.
Statement 1026
Console and Auxiliary Port Considerations
Cisco uBR7100 series routers include an asynchronous serial console port and an auxiliary port. The console and auxiliary ports provide access to the access server either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). This section discusses important cabling information to consider before connecting a console terminal (such as PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port or connecting a modem to the auxiliary port.
The main difference between the console and auxiliary ports is that the auxiliary port supports hardware flow control using RTS/CTS (Request To Send/Clear To Send) signaling, and the console port does not. Flow control paces the transmission of data between a sending device and a receiving device, ensuring that the receiving device can absorb the data sent to it before the sending device sends more.
When the buffers on the receiving device are full, a message is sent to the sending device to suspend transmission until the data in the buffers has been processed. Because the auxiliary port supports flow control, it is ideally suited for use with the high-speed transmissions of a modem. Console terminals transmit at slower speeds than modems; therefore, the console port is ideally suited for use with console terminals.
For detailed information about installing a console terminal and connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see the
“Connecting the Console Port and Auxiliary Port” section on page 3-10. For cable and port
pinouts, see Appendix C, “Cable Specifications,”
Console Port Connections
Cisco uBR7100 series routers include an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE) device at the end of the cable. Your router arrives with cables and adapters to connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port.
To connect a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). The default parameters for the console port are 9600 baud, 8
data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. The console port does not support hardware
flow control.

Cisco uBR7100 series routers include an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports RTS/CTS flow control. Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the cable. Your router arrives with a cable and an adapter to connect a modem to the auxiliary port. To connect a modem to the auxiliary port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the male RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled MODEM).

Attaching the System Ground Connection
Warning
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
Statement 1046
Before you connect power or turn on power to your router, we strongly recommend that you provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router’s chassis. This connection is required for a central office that must comply with Telcordia bonding requirements; it is optional but highly recommended for other installations.
Note The Telcordia bonding connections are in addition to the grounding that is required for the AC power
connection.
Chassis grounding receptacles for Telcordia bonding connections are provided on each side of the router, near the rear of the chassis.
Note One set of grounding receptacles should be used for the Telcordia bonding ground connection, and the
other set can be used for attaching the cable management bracket (see Attaching the Ground Wire).
To ensure that the chassis grounding connection that you provide is adequate, you need the following parts and tools:
One grounding lug—Must have two 3.5-mm screw holes that have a 0.63-inch (16.002-mm) spacing
between them, and a wire receptacle large enough to accept a 6-American Wire Gauge (AWG) multistrand, copper wire. This grounding lug is provided in the accessory kit.
Two slotted hexhead 3.5 x 7-mm thread-forming machine screws. These screws are provided in the
accessory kit.
One grounding wire—6-AWG, 0.162-inch (4.115-mm) diameter, with approximately 0.108 inch
(2.743 mm) of insulation, for a total wire diameter of approximately 0.27
inch (6.858 mm). The wire’s length is dependent on your router location and site environment. This wire is not available from Cisco
Systems; it is available from any commercial cable vendor.

Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket
To install the cable-management bracket on the router, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Locate the chassis grounding receptacles on the rear sides of the chassis. (See Figure 3-8.)
Note Both rear sides of Cisco uBR7100 series chassis have two grounding receptacles. Attach the
cable-management bracket to the two grounding receptacles that were not used to ground the chassis in the “Attaching the System Ground Connection” section on page 3-5.
Step 2 Align the cable-management bracket to the vacant receptacles. Ensure that the two flanges on the bracket
are facing away from the chassis.
Step 3 Thread two 3.5 x 7-mm slotted hexhead screws through the bracket and into the chassis. Use a flat-head
screwdriver to tighten the screws. Use tie wraps to secure interface cables to the bracket flanges.
Figure 3-8 shows how to attach the cable-management brackets to the Cisco uBR7114 or
Cisco uBR7114E chassis; the Cisco uBR7111 or Cisco uBR7111E chassis is identical.

Statement 1026
Connecting Upstream and Downstream Ports
The upstream and downstream ports are connected as follows:
DS0 RF outputs the downstream after it has been processed by the Cisco uBR7100 series integrated
upconverter. This is an RF signal suitable for output to a combiner.
DS0 outputs the downstream as an IF signal. This signal must be output into an external
waveconverter before sending it to a combiner.

Connecting to the Network
Connecting the Fast Ethernet Ports
The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u specifications for 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps transmission over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. These ports also support autosensing and autonegotiation of the proper transmission mode (half duplex or full duplex) with an attached device.
Each Fast Ethernet port has an RJ-45 connector that supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 3 or Category 5 UTP cable:
Use Category 3 UTP straight-through cables when connecting a 10BASE-T port to a hub.
Use Category 3 UTP crossover cables when connecting to a PC or other Ethernet device.
Use Category 5 UTP straight-through cables when connecting 100BASE-TX to a hub.
Use Category 5 UTP crossover cables when connecting to a PC or other Ethernet device.
Note Cisco Systems does not supply Category 3 or Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cables; these cables are available
commercially. For more information, see the
“Fast Ethernet Port Cables and Pinouts” section on
page C-4.
To connect the Fast Ethernet port to an Ethernet hub, use the following procedure:
Step 1 Verify that the Ethernet hub is properly connected to the rest of the LAN. Step 2 Attach the appropriate cable directly to the receptacle on the router. (See Figure 3-10.) Step 3 Attach the network end of the cable to the Ethernet hub or end station. (See Figure 3-10.)

Chapter 4 System Startup
Starting the System
Starting the System
After installing the router and connecting cables, start the router as follows:
Step 1 At the back of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the ON (|) position. The green
power (PWR) LED on the router comes on.
Step 2 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating. Step 3 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on the fixed interfaces and the modular
port adapter go on and off in irregular sequence. Some may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time.
Step 4 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the network
processor begins to initialize the interfaces. During this initialization, the LEDs on each port behave differently (most flash on and off).
The enabled LED on each interface goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a system banner similar to the following:
Restricted Rights Legend
Use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c) of the Commercial Computer Software - Restricted Rights clause at FAR sec. 52.227-19 and subparagraph (c) (1) (ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS sec. 252.227-7013.
cisco Systems, Inc. 170 West Tasman Drive San Jose, California 95134-1706
Step 5 When you start up the router for the first time, the system automatically enters the setup command
facility, which determines which interfaces are installed and prompts you for configuration information for each one. On the console terminal, after the system displays the system banner and hardware configuration, you see the following System Configuration Dialog prompt:
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
You have the following options:
Enter yes to proceed with the setup facility to configure the router’s interfaces
Enter no to exit the setup procedure, and instead proceed to use command line interface (CLI)
configuration commands to configure the global (system-wide) and interface-specific parameters.
Note You do not have to configure the interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the
interfaces or connect them to any networks until you have configured them.
If the system does not complete each of the steps in the startup procedure, proceed to Chapter 5,
“Troubleshooting the Installation,” for troubleshooting recommendations and procedures.

Troubleshooting the Installation
Yo u r C is c o uBR7100 series router went through extensive testing before leaving the factory. However, if you encounter problems starting the router, use the information in this chapter to help isolate the cause of the problems. This chapter contains the following sections:
Troubleshooting Overview, page 5-1
Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem, page 5-4
Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem, page 5-4
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem, page 5-6
The procedures in this chapter assume that you are troubleshooting the initial system startup, and that your router is in the original factory configuration. If you have removed or replaced components or changed any default settings, the recommendations in this chapter might not apply. Make sure to review the safety warnings listed in the publication that accompanied your Cisco
uBR7100 series router before
using the troubleshooting procedures in this chapter.
Troubleshooting Overview
This section describes the troubleshooting methods used in this chapter and describes how Cisco
uBR7100 series routers are divided into subsystems for more efficient problem solving.
Figure 5-2 shows the general troubleshooting strategy described in this chapter. Refer to this chart, as
necessary, to follow the steps to isolate problems to a specific subsystem; then resolve the problem if possible.
Before You Call for Technical Assistance
If you are unable to easily solve the problem, contact a customer service representative for assistance and further instructions. Provide the representative with the following information:
Date you received the router
Chassis serial number
Type of software and release number
Brief description of the problem you are having
Brief explanation of the steps you have taken to isolate and resolve the problem
Maintenance agreement or warranty information

Troubleshooting Overview
Locating the Serial Number on Your Router
The serial number label is located on the input/output (I/O) side, lower-right corner of the chassis.
The serial number format is: 3 letters, 4 numbers, and 4 characters (combination of letters and numbers)
See Figure 5-1 for the location.
Figure 5-1 Serial Number Location
Problem Solving Using a Subsystems Approach
The key to solving problems with the system is isolating the problem to a specific subsystem. The first step in solving startup problems is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing. Because a startup problem is usually caused by a single component, it is more efficient to first isolate the problem to a subsystem rather than to troubleshoot each component in the system. For these troubleshooting procedures, consider the following subsystems:
Power subsystem—Includes the power supply and the external power cable.
Processor subsystem—Includes the network processing card, the modular port adapter, the service
module, and the fixed RF ports. The system memory and management functions reside on the network processing card, and the enabled LED on each port indicates if the port is initialized. A port adapter that is partially installed in the router can cause the system to hang and crash.
Cooling subsystem—Includes the fans.
The following sections help you isolate a problem to one of these subsystems and direct you to the appropriate troubleshooting section.
Identifying Startup Problems
Startup problems are commonly due to the source power or to a port adapter that is dislodged from the router. Although an overtemperature condition is unlikely at initial startup, the environmental monitoring functions are included in this chapter because they also monitor internal voltages.
When you start up the router for the first time, you should observe the startup sequence described in the
“Starting the System” section on page 4-2, which contains a more detailed description of the normal
startup sequence.
LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the state of the LEDs, you can determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence. Use the following descriptions to isolate the problem to a subsystem, and then proceed to the appropriate sections to try to resolve the problem. See
Figure 5-2.

Figure 5-2 Troubleshooting Strategy for Startup Problems
When you start up the system by turning the power supply switch to the ON (|) position, the following should occur:
You should immediately hear the fans operating.
If not, proceed to the “Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem” section on page 5-6. If you determine that the power supply is functioning normally and that a fan is faulty, contact a customer service representative. If a fan does not function properly at initial startup, there are no installation adjustments that you should make.
The LEDs on the router should come on as follows:
The power LED (PWR) comes on immediately and indicates that the router is receiving power. This LED comes on during a successful router boot and remains on during normal operation of the router.
If this LED remains off when you start the router, either there is a problem with the power supply (it is damaged or not connected correctly), or the network processing card is not connected properly. Proceed to the

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem
The system ready LED (SYS RDY) comes on after the power LED and indicates that the network processor card is enabled for operation by the system; however, it does not mean that the Fast Ethernet port is functional or enabled. This LED comes on during a successful router boot and remains on during normal operation of the router.
If this LED remains off when you start the router, it is probably a problem with the main processor card. Contact your service representative for technical assistance.
Each enabled LED for the cable interface (EN, DS0 RF, DS0, U0, U1, U2, and U3) comes on initially at power-on and then turns off. The LED then comes on again and remains on when the corresponding port is enabled and configured for operations.
If an enabled LED fails to come on at initial power-on, or if the LED fails to come on and remain on after the port is enabled and configured, proceed to the
“Troubleshooting the Port Adapter
and Fixed RF Ports” section on page 5-5.
The slot 0 and slot 1 LEDs only come on when the PCMCIA card slot is being accessed by the system. These LEDs remain off during normal operation of the router and do not indicate startup problems.
The initial system banner should be displayed on the console screen.
If it is not displayed, see the “Connecting the Console Port and Auxiliary Port” section on page 3-10 to verify that the terminal is set up correctly and that it is properly connected to the router’s console port.
Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem
Check the following to help isolate a problem with the power subsystem:
Is the power LED (PWR) on?
If yes, the power source is good, and the power supply is functional.
If no, make sure that the power cable is connected at both ends.
If the power LED remains off, and the power switch is set correctly, suspect the power source or the power cable. Turn the switch off, connect the power cable to another power source, if available, and turn the switch back on. If the LED comes on, the problem is the first power source.
If the power LED fails to come on after you connect the power supply to a new power source, replace the power cord, and turn the switch back on. If the LED comes on, return the first power cable for replacement.
If the LED still fails to come on when the power supply is connected to a different power source with a new power cable, the power supply is probably faulty. Contact a service representative for further instructions.
Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem
The processor subsystem comprises the network processing card and the ports. The system can operate without a port adapter installed as long as none are in partial contact with the connector pins. A port adapter that is partially connected to the router sends incomplete signals to the processor, which faults the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus and causes the system to hang. Therefore, first ensure
5-5
Cisco uBR7100 Series and Cisco uBR7100E Series Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide
OL-5916-01
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem
that the system software has initialized successfully. If not, remove the port adapter and restart the system. If the system then boots, reinsert the port adapter card and, if necessary, troubleshoot the port adapter.
Troubleshooting the Network Processor Card
The procedures in this section assume that the router is in the original factory configuration, and that you have not made changes to your configuration file.
If the system ready LED (SYS RDY) does not come on as expected (see the “When you start up the
system by turning the power supply switch to the ON (|) position, the following should occur:” section on page 5-3), check the following items to help isolate the problem:
Do all of the LEDs remain off when the system power switch is turned on?
If the LEDs stay off, first see the “Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem” section on page 5-4 and the “Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem” section on page 5-6 to ensure that both the fans and the power supply are functioning properly.
If the power supply and fans appear operational but the system ready or enable LEDs are off, suspect that an improperly connected port adapter has hung the system. Reinsert the port adapter, tighten all captive installation screws, and then restart the system.
Is the system ready LED on?
If yes, the system software has initialized successfully, and the system is operational.
If the system ready LED remains off, the system detected a processor hardware failure. (This LED should be on in normal operation.) Contact a service representative for instructions.
Troubleshooting the Port Adapter and Fixed RF Ports
Check the following to help isolate a problem with a port adapter or fixed RF port:
Are all enabled LEDs on?
If yes, the system is operational.
Are any enabled LEDs off?
If the enabled LED on a port adapter is off, first verify that the port adapter has been enabled and configured for operations. The enabled LED remains off when a port adapter has not been configured and enabled.
If the port has been enabled but its corresponding enabled LED is still off, suspect that the adapter has pulled away from the router. Reseat the adapter in its slot. (You do not have to turn off the system power when removing or replacing port adapters.) After the system reinitializes the interfaces, the enabled LED on the adapter should come on.
If the enabled LED remains off after the above checks, it is likely that the system has detected a processor hardware failure. Contact a service representative for instructions.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
Check the following to help isolate a problem with the cooling system:
When you start up the system, do the fans start operating?
To determine if the fans are operating, listen for them. In noisy environments, place your hand on the front of the chassis to feel for air being pushed out of the vents. If necessary, pop off the front bezel to expose the fans and verify that they are operating correctly.
If yes, the power to the fans is good.
If no, there is a problem with the fan or power. (See the “Troubleshooting the Power
Subsystem” section on page 5-4.)
The following messages, if displayed, indicate that the system has detected a critical
overtemperature condition or out-of-tolerance power inside the chassis:
Queued messages:
00:01:19:%ENVM-4-ENVWARN:+2.5 V measured at +2.59 00:01:19:%ENVM-4-ENVWARN:+5.15 V measured at +5.31
00:00:19:%ENVM-2-ENVCRIT:chassis core measured at 31C/87F 00:00:19:%ENVM-2-ENVCRIT:chassis inlet measured at 27C/80F 00:00:19:%ENVM-2-ENVCRIT:chassis outlet 1 measured at 30C/86F 00:00:19:%ENVM-2-ENVCRIT:chassis outlet 2 measured at 30C/86F
Although an overtemperature condition is unlikely at initial startup, ensure that heated exhaust air from other equipment is not entering the router’s inlet vent and that there is sufficient clearance around the sides of the chassis to allow cooling air to flow.
The above message could also indicate a faulty component or temperature sensor. Use the show environment or show environment table command to display the internal chassis environment.
If you experience trouble with the startup that is not resolved with these procedures, manually power off the router and contact a service representative for assistance and further instructions.

Online Insertion and Removal
The port adapter in the Cisco uBR7100 series router supports online insertion and removal (OIR). This function allows you to install and replace the port adapter while the universal broadband router is operating. In most instances, you do not need to shut down system power.
The following is a functional description of OIR; for specific procedures to install, configure, or replace a port adapter, refer to the appropriate port adapter documentation at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/port_adapters/roadmaps/11022pa.html
The port adapter has a bus connector that connects it to the universal broadband router’s midplane. Each midplane connector has a set of tiered pins in three lengths. The pins send specific signals to the system as they make contact with the port adapter. The system assesses the signals it receives and the order in which it receives them to determine if a board is being removed or inserted into the midplane. From these signals, the system determines whether to reinitialize a new interface or shut down a removed interface.
For example, when inserting a port adapter, the longest pins make contact with the port adapter first, and the shortest pins make contact last. The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it receives them.
When you remove or insert a port adapter in a Cisco uBR7100 series router, the midplane pins send signals to notify the system, which then performs as follows:
1. Rapidly scans the midplane for configuration changes.
2. Initializes the newly inserted port adapter, noting any removed interfaces and placing them in the
administratively shutdown state.
3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the port adapter back to the state they were in when
they were removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown state, as if they were present (but not configured) at boot time. If a similar port adapter is reinserted into a slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count of the original port adapter.

Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions
You can remove and replace a port adapter with the same type of component without interrupting the system. To replace a port adapter with a different type of port adapter (for example, replacing a HSSI adapter with an ATM adapter), you must to copy your startup configuration to your running configuration on the Cisco
uBR7100 series router to enable the interfaces on the port adapter.
Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions
Environmental monitoring and reporting functions are controlled by the network processor and allow you to maintain normal system operation by identifying and resolving adverse conditions that might disrupt operation.
The environmental monitoring functions constantly monitor the internal chassis air temperature and power supply voltages and currents. The power supply monitors its own voltage and temperature and shuts itself down if it detects a critical condition within the power supply. The reporting functions periodically log the values of measured parameters so that you can retrieve them for analysis later, and the reporting functions display warnings on the console if any of the monitored parameters exceed defined thresholds.
The front and back of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating inside the chassis; we recommend at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance. Temperature sensors in the router monitor the internal air temperature and send warning messages when the internal air temperature exceeds the specified threshold.
Environmental Monitoring
The environmental monitoring functions use four sensors to monitor the temperature of the cooling air as it moves through the chassis.
If the air temperature exceeds a defined threshold, the router displays warning messages on the console terminal. The system stores the present parameter measurements for both temperature and power voltage in NVRAM so you can retrieve them later.
In addition, the power supply monitors the internal power supply temperature and voltages. A power supply is either within tolerance (normal) or out of tolerance (critical). If the internal power supply temperature or voltage reaches a critical level, the power supply shuts down without any interaction with the system processor.
The environmental monitoring functions use the following levels of status conditions to monitor the system:
Normal—All monitored parameters are within normal tolerances.
Warning—The system has exceeded a specified threshold. The system continues to operate, but
operator action is recommended to bring the system back to a normal state.
Critical—An out-of-tolerance temperature or voltage condition exists. The system continues to
operate; however, immediate operator action is required.
Table 6-1 lists the typical temperature thresholds for each network processor type, and Tab le 6-2 lists
the power thresholds for the normal, warning, and critical (power supply-monitored) levels.

Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions
Note If the system reports temperatures in the critical range, you must manually shut down the router. The
processor does not shut down the router automatically.
Displaying Environmental Status Reports
Cisco uBR7100 series routers display warning messages on the console if chassis interface-monitored parameters exceed a desired threshold. You can also retrieve and display environmental status reports with the show environment, show environment all, show environment last, and show environment table commands. Parameters are measured and reporting functions are updated every 60 seconds. A brief description of each of these commands follows.
Caution To prevent overheating the chassis, ensure that your system is drawing cool inlet air. Overtemperature
conditions can occur if the system is drawing in the exhaust air of other equipment. Ensure adequate clearance around the sides of the chassis so that cooling air can flow through the chassis interior unimpeded and exhaust air exits the chassis and is not drawn into the inlet vent of other device.
The show environment command displays the current environmental status of the system. The report displays parameters that are out of the normal values. No parameters are displayed if the system status is normal. The example that follows shows the display for a system in which all monitored parameters are within normal range:

Flash Memory Card Usage
The Cisco uBR7100 series router has two Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) slots for Type II flash memory cards. Slot 0 is the lower PCMCIA card slot and slot 1 is the upper PCMCIA card slot.
The following sections describe how to insert, remove, and format a flash memory card
Inserting a Flash Memory Card
To insert a flash memory card in either PCMCIA slot of the Cisco uBR7100 series router, use the following procedure. You do not need to power off the system to insert a flash memory card.
Note To avoid potential problems when inserting spare flash memory cards in your Cisco uBR7100 series
universal broadband router, we recommend that you reformat all of your flash memory cards during your regularly scheduled service times. The
“Formatting a Flash Memory Card” section on page 6-8 contains
instructions that explain how to reformat a flash memory card.
Step 1 Locate the PCMCIA card slots. For proper electrocmagnetic compliance (EMC), the slots have a cover
that is secured with a captive screw. (See
Figure 6-1.)
Step 2 Use a flat-head screwdriver to loosen the captive screw that secures the protective cover, and lift the
protective cover. (See
Figure 6-2.)
Tip The flash disk memory card slots are labelled slot 0 and slot 1 on the chassis, but the flash disk memory
cards themselves are addressed as disk0 and disk1, respectively, when using Cisco IOS commands.

Removing a Flash Memory Card
To remove a flash memory card from either PCMCIA slot:
Step 1 Use a flat-head screwdriver to loosen the captive screw that secures the protective cover, and lift the
protective cover.
Step 2 Press the ejector button on the slot. (See Figure 6-4c.) Step 3 Grasp the card and pull it from the slot and place the card in an antistatic bag.
Formatting a Flash Memory Card
The flash memory card that shipped with your router contains the Cisco IOS software image you need to boot your router. In some cases, you might need to insert a new flash memory card and copy images or backup configuration files onto it. Before you can use a new flash memory card, you must format it. (Use only Type II PCMCIA flash memory cards provided by Cisco.)
Tip To avoid potential problems when inserting spare flash memory cards in your Cisco uBR7100 series
router, we recommend that you reformat all your flash memory cards during your regularly scheduled service times.
Caution The following formatting procedure erases all information on the flash memory card. To prevent the loss
of important data that might be stored on a flash memory card, proceed carefully. If you want to save the data on a flash memory card, copy the data to a server before you format the card.
Note The following procedure assumes that you have already booted your router.
To format a new flash memory card:
Step 1 Using the procedure described in the “Inserting a Flash Memory Card” section on page 6-5, insert the
flash memory card into slot 0. (If slot 0 is not available, use slot 1.)
Step 2 To format the flash memory card, use the format disk0: (or format disk1:) command as follows:
Router# format disk0:
All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm] Enter volume id (up to 30 characters): MyNewCard Formatting sector 1 Format device disk0 completed Router#
The system counts down the sectors as they are formatted. For example, a 48-MB flash memory card contains 384 sectors, and the display counts backwards from 384 to 1.
When the format routine reaches sector 1, the new flash memory card is formatted and ready to use.

Flash Memory Card Usage
Copying a Bootable Image onto a Flash Memory Card
After you have formatted a new flash memory card, you can copy a bootable image onto it. To copy an image, use the following procedure, which assumes the following:
You have an I/O controller with a good image in the onboard flash memory single in-line memory
module (SIMM) so you can start the router.
The bootable image you want to copy to the flash memory card exists on a Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP) server to which you have access (meaning you know its name and have connectivity to it), and at least one interface is available over which you can access this server.
Note To ensure access to a TFTP server, you must configure at least one network interface on your
router. For instructions on using this procedure, refer to the Cisco
uBR7100 Series Software
Universal Broadband Router Configuration Guide. See the
“Related Documentation”
section on page -8
You know the filename of the image you want to copy onto the flash memory card.
To copy a bootable file (called new.image in the following examples) onto the flash memory card:
Step 1 Boot the Cisco uBR7100 series router and allow it to initialize. Step 2 Insert an unformatted flash memory card and format it using the procedure in the “Formatting a Flash
Memory Card” section on page 6-8. Then proceed to Step 3.
Note If you have already formatted a flash memory card, you can use it to copy files. However, you
cannot boot from a flash memory card that was formatted on another type of system. To use the card as a boot source, you must first reformat it on the router. To avoid potential problems when inserting flash memory cards in your router, we recommend reformatting all your flash memory cards during your regularly scheduled service times. The
“Formatting a Flash Memory Card”
section on page 6-8 contains instructions that explain how to reformat a flash memory card.
Step 3 Copy the new image (new.image) to the flash memory card and make this image the default boot image.
Then reboot the router using the following series of commands:
Router> enable Password: <password> Router# copy tftp:new.image disk0:new.image 20575008 bytes available on device disk0, proceed? [confirm] address or name of remote host [1.1.1.1]? loading new.image from 1.1.1.1 (via Ethernet1/0):!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note In this example, the exclamation points (!!!) appear as the file is downloaded, and the “C”
characters signify calculation of the checksum, which is a verification that the file has been correctly downloaded to the flash memory card.
When the system reloads, it boots the new.image file from the flash memory card.
Copying Bootable Images Between Flash Memory Cards
As future releases of Cisco IOS images become available, you will receive these images either as a file booted from a network server, a file on floppy disk, or a file on a flash memory card.
The following scenario describes how to use a newly released image on a flash memory card in a system that has an older image on a flash memory card in slot 0 and a default boot image in the onboard flash memory SIMM.
For this scenario, the filenames are as follows:
The new image on the new flash memory card is new.image.
The old image on the flash memory card in slot 0 (which is addressed as disk0:) is old.image.
The bootable image in onboard flash memory is boot.image.
You will copy the new image from the new flash memory card onto the flash memory card that contains the old image.
Note The scenario assumes that the new image will fit on the flash memory card in slot 0, alongside the old
image. If there is not enough available space, use the delete command to delete files from the flash memory card to make sufficient room for the new image; however, do not delete the image.old file. Then use the squeeze command to remove these deleted files from the flash memory card. If, after you have deleted files and used the squeeze command, the two files cannot coexist on the flash memory card in slot 0, remove this card (place it in an antistatic bag and store it in a safe place), then insert the new flash memory card (with the file new.image) in slot 0. Proceed to
Step 5 and use the boot system flash
slot0:new.image command to designate the file new.image as the default boot image.
Step 1 Boot the Cisco uBR7100 series universal broadband router. By default, the file boot.image is used. Step 2 Enable the router as follows:
Router> enable Password: <password> Router#
Step 3 Insert the new flash memory card into slot 1.

Upgrading the SDRAM Memory Modules
Step 4 Use the following command to copy the file new.image in slot 1 to the flash memory card in slot 0, only
if there is enough memory space for the two images to coexist. If there is not enough memory space, proceed to
Step 5.
Router# copy disk1:new.image disk0:new.image
Note You can also enter the preceding command as copy disk1:new.image disk0:.
Step 5 Use the following series of commands to designate the file new.image (which is on the flash memory
card in slot 0) as the default boot image:
Router# configure terminal Router(config)# no boot system Router(config)# boot system flash disk0:new.image Router(config)# ^z Router# copy running-config startup-config Router# reload
When the system reloads, it boots the file new.image from the flash memory card in slot 0.
Upgrading the SDRAM Memory Modules
The Cisco uBR7100 series router has upgradable memory modules on the network processing card located inside the router. To access these modules, you must remove the top cover of the chassis. Review the safety information before starting this procedure.
Note SDRAM system memory defaults to 128 MB and can be upgraded to either 192 MB or 256 MB.
(SDRAM packet memory is fixed at 64 MB.)
Warning
Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.
Statement 1003
Warning
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing.
Statement 1034
Warning
Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected.
