The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router provides a high-end, high-performance, high-capacity
Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) solution. The Cisco uBR10012 router is an aggregation
platform that places a new level of intelligence and performance at the edge of the network, enabling
cable service providers to maximize their revenues by delivering more feature-rich services to their
customers. The system can provide high-speed data, broadband entertainment, and IP telephony services
to residential and commercial subscribers using cable modems or digital set-top boxes (STBs).
The Cisco uBR10012 router is based on the Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications
(DOCSIS), which were developed by a cable industry initiative to ensure the reliable and secure
operation of cable data networks. The router can interoperate with cable modems or STBs that support
the DOCSIS 1.0, DOCSIS 1.1, EuroDOCSIS 1.1, DOCSIS 2.0, DOCSIS 3.0 and EuroDOCSIS 2.0
versions of the DOCSIS specification.
DOCSIS supports the 6 MHz North American channel plans using the ITU J.83 Annex B RF standard.
The downstream uses a 6 MHz channel width in the 85 to 860 MHz frequency range, and the upstream
supports the 5 to 42 MHz frequency range. Each chassis can support multiple standards and multiple
interfaces, allowing operators to choose the appropriate services and devices that optimize their capital
investment with a single CMTS platform.
The Cisco uBR10012 router supports data and digitized voice connectivity over a bidirectional cable
television and IP backbone network, using advanced quality of service (QoS) techniques to ensure that
real-time traffic such as voice can be reliably delivered, while still transmitting other traffic on a
best-effort basis. The Cisco uBR10012 router concentrates traffic from two-way DOCSIS-based cable
modems and STBs that is transmitted over the coaxial cable television (CATV) network, and presents
that traffic to local and remote Internet Protocol (IP) hosts over its high-speed network uplink interfaces.
The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router uses the same Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF)
technology used by the Cisco ESR10000 edge services router. The combination of PXF technology with
Cisco's CMTS solutions creates a cost-effective, scalable, and industry-proven CMTS that provides
consistent, high-performance throughput that is optimized for high-volume traffic over a cable network.
Based on the Cisco IOS networking software, the router supports the most advanced networking and
routing options. Also, with access to current and future software enhancements, the router ensures
investment protection as standards and customer needs continue to evolve.

Comparisons with Other Cisco CMTS Platforms
The Cisco uBR10012 router is a next-generation CMTS platform with the following significant
differences from the other Cisco CMTS platforms (Cisco uBR7100 series and Cisco uBR7200 series
universal broadband routers):
• The Cisco uBR10012 router supports a larger form factor for cable interface line cards. The existing
cable interface line cards for the Cisco uBR7200 series routers cannot be used with the
Cisco uBR10012 router.
• The Cisco uBR10012 router uses high-performance PRE modules as its processor cards. It does not
use any of the network processor cards used on the Cisco uBR7200 series router.
• The Cisco uBR10012 router is a high-performance, high-throughput CMTS router that requires
high-performance network uplink line cards for its WAN connectivity to the Internet and other
connected networks. It does not use any of the port adapters that are available for the Cisco uBR7100
series and Cisco uBR7200 series router.
• The Cisco uBR10012 router does not use the Cisco cable clock card because the TCC+ cards include
national clock support.
• To accommodate the new architecture of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis, slot numbering on the router
has been expanded to include a card and subcard numbering system (1/0, 2/0, and so forth). See
Figure 1-4 for a diagram of the slot numbering on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
Cisco uBR10012 Router Functional Overview
The Cisco uBR10012 router is a cable modem termination system (CMTS) that provides Internet, LAN,
and WAN access for cable modems and set-top-boxes (STBs) over a coaxial cable connection. The router
enables high-speed data services to be packaged like they are in basic cable television service or video
programming.
The path from the CMTS to the cable modem or STB is the downstream, which carries the majority of
traffic over the cable interface. The path from the cable modem or STB to the CMTS is the upstream,
and it typically carries approximately 10 percent of the traffic that is sent over the downstream. A large
number of users can be assigned to the same downstream, and for efficient use of bandwidth, those users
can be split among several different upstreams.
The following sections provide a high-level overview of the data path over the upstream and the
downstream.

Interface (BPI) is used, the processor also decrypts the Privacy EH frames using the appropriate
key.

upstream port information, and status bits that indicate whether any errors were detected.
4. The packet is sent across the backplane to the forwarding processor (FP) or the routing processor
(RP) on the PRE.
5. The PRE performs packet operations such as access list processing, classification, switching, and
QoS. It is also where major routing and IOS management functions (filtering) are run.
6. The packet is moved to the correct output queue and transmitted over the backplane to the network
uplink card (OC-48 DPT/POS, GigE) or another cable interface line card.
7. The output card forwards the packet to the next interface point.
Downstream Data Path
The following example describes the downstream data path.
1. Data packets from the Internet are received by the network uplink cards (OC-48 DPT/ POS, GigE).
2. The packets are forwarded to the file processor (FP) on the PRE module.
3. The FP performs MAC classification to determine the type of frame or packet to be processed.
4. The PRE performs access list filtering, policing, and marking.
5. A forwarding information base (FIB) lookup and rewrite happens.
a. The rewrite consists of a downstream header and 802.3 MAC header.
b. The downstream header contains destination primary SID, physical DS port number, PHS rule
index, and some control bits and other fields.
c. The packet is policed, shaped and prepared for queueing. Queueing is based on the priority of
the queue and the state of the flow bits from the card. The destination card address (port) is
prepended on the header of the packet being transmitted.
6. The packet is transmitted over the backplane to the appropriate cable interface line card.
7. The cable interface line card receives the packet and forwards it to all the ASICs on the line card.
a. Each ASIC decodes the header to determine if the packet is destined for one of the downstream
ports on that card. If so, the downstream header is removed and the 802.3 MAC header is saved.
b. The MAC header is processed to determine how to build the DOCSIS MAC header and what
operations to perform on the packet. These might include prepending the DOCSIS MAC header,
computing the HCS and FCS, performing Packet Header Suppression, and BPI encryption.
8. Once the packet is ready, it is immediately transmitted on the downstream.
Cisco uBR10012 Router and Cisco IOS Software
The Cisco uBR10012 router runs the Cisco IOS software, which is stored on the Type II PCMCIA flash
memory disks stored in the two PCMCIA slots in the primary PRE module. A PCMCIA flash memory
disk in either slot can store a Cisco IOS image or configuration file.
In addition to the flash memory disks, each PRE module contains onboard flash memory that is used to
store a boot loader. The loader executes following a system reset to reload and execute the Cisco IOS
software on the flash memory disks.
The PRE module also stores the system configuration in the onboard flash memory. The configuration
information read from the flash memory is buffered in operational memory following initialization, and
is written to the flash memory device when the configuration is saved.
Each line card also contains onboard flash memory that is used to store a boot loader, similar in function
to that used on the PRE module. However, the line card loader executes following a system reset, line
card reset, or line card insertion to reload and execute any code that must run on the line card.
Software images may also be stored on an external TFTP server. If the Cisco uBR10012 router is so
configured, it then downloads the proper image from the TFTP server and executes it.
DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS Data Rates and Modulation Schemes
Cisco cable interface line cards can be configured in a number of different upstream combinations based
on the card used, your cable network, and the anticipated subscription and service levels. Table 1-1 lists
the data rates and modulation schemes for both DOCSIS1.1 and EuroDOCSIS 1.1 standards. Table 1-2
lists the data rates and modulation schemes for DOCSIS 2.0 and EuroDOCSIS 2.0 standards. Table 1 -3
lists the downstream data rates.
Table 1-1DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS 1.1 Upstream Data Rates
This section describes the Cisco uBR10012 router and router components.
Cisco uBR10012 Router
The Cisco uBR10012 router is installed in a standard 19-inch equipment or telco rack. A rack-mount kit
ships from the Cisco factory with each router. The rack-mount kit includes the hardware needed to mount
the router in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or telco-type rack. Mounting in 23-inch equipment racks
is possible with optional third-party mounting hardware.
The Cisco uBR10012 chassis is designed for front and rear access. The two AC or DC power entry
modules (PEM)s, two Performance Routing Engine (PRE) modules, the LCD panel, and the fan
assembly module are accessed from the front of the chassis, see Figure 1-2. The eight slots for cable

Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
The following section describes the modules used in the Cisco uBR10012 router. For a list of field
replaceable units (FRUs) used in this chassis, see “Cisco uBR10012 Router FRU Resources”.
Fan Assembly Module
The Cisco uBR10012 chassis uses a fan assembly module containing fans to supply cooling air to the
chassis. The fan assembly connects to the chassis through a blind mate connector that plugs into the
cable assembly and then into the chassis backplane. The fan assembly modules can be identified by the
product part numbers. The fan assembly module supported on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis is:
• Fan Assembly Module (UBR10-FAN-ASSY=)
• Fan Assembly Module (UBR10012-FAN-PLUS=)
For information on installing, removing and replacing the fan assembly module, see Cisco uBR10012
Universal Broadband Router Fan Assembly Module.
AC Power Entry Modules
The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with two AC power entry modules (AC PEMs) that provide
power supply to the system. One AC PEM module is sufficient to provide power for a fully configured
chassis. However, if one AC PEM module fails, the other AC PEM module automatically begins
providing power to the entire chassis, without impacting the system operation.
The AC PEM modules use a standard 200–240 VAC (50 or 60 Hz) input power obtained through power
receptacles on the front panel of each PEM. The two AC PEMs convert the AC power to provide filtered,
redundant, and load shared DC power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The AC PEM modules can be
identified by their product part numbers.
The AC PEM modules supported on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis are:
• AC PEM Module (UBR10-PWR-AC=)
• AC PEM Module (UBR10-PWR-AC-PLUS=)
For information on installing, removing and replacing the 2400 W AC PEM module, see AC Power Entry

The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with two DC power entry modules (DC PEMs) that provide
power to the system. One DC PEM can provide sufficient power for a fully configured chassis. However,
if one DC PEM fails, the other automatically begins providing power to the entire chassis, without
impacting the system operation.
The two DC PEMs provide filtered, redundant, and load shared DC power to the
Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The DC PEM modules can be identified by their product part numbers.
The DC PEM modules supported on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis are:

Lineage AC-DC Power Shelf
This external AC-DC power shelf from Lineage (part number J85480S1 L30) with AC module
(CP2000AC54PE) is 1-rack unit high (1.75 inch) and can be mounted on a standard 19-inch 4-post
equipment rack or telco-type rack. We recommend installing the Lineage power shelf in the rack in a
way that the power connections reside facing inside the rack when viewed from the front. This allows
the DC output terminals of the external AC-input power shelf to be on the same side as the DC-input
terminals of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
The Lineage AC-DC power shelf has two DC power sources, four AC-input power supply sources, and
J1 and J2 connectors. Each AC-input power supply module is automatically powered on when it is
plugged into the wall socket. (See Figure 1-6).

1DC power source terminal blocks3J2 connector
2AC input power connectors4J1 connector / alarm cable interface
All cable connections for AC-input power, DC-output power, and status signals are made from the rear
of the power shelf. Each AC power supply module has an individual AC facility cord attachment. All
four AC-input cords must be attached to the facility for all four AC power modules to function. Two
DC-interconnect cables provide DC-output power to the DC PEM (UBR10-PWR-DC=) modules on the
Cisco uBR10012 chassis. (See Figure 1-7).
NoteThe AC-input power cables, DC-output power cables, and alarm monitor cable are supplied along with
Lineage. We recommend that you use these cables for cabling the shelf to the Cisco uBR10012 router.

Performance Routing Engine
Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Modules
There are four models of PREs, the original PRE module that was initially shipped with the
Cisco uBR10012 router, the PRE1 module that began shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF, the
PRE2 module that is shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9)BC, and the PRE4 module that is shipping
with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB.
• PRE1 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF.
• PRE2 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC.
• PRE4 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB.
You can use the CLI show version command to determine whether a PRE, PRE1, PRE2, or PRE4
module is installed in your system.
NoteThe PRE3 is not supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router
The PRE is a single-slot module used with the Cisco uBR10012 routers. The PRE performs all Layer 2
and Layer 3 packet routing and forwarding using an advanced parallel processing architecture called
Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF). This process separates the control plane from the data plane. The
PXF architecture supports high-performance throughput with IP services enabled on every port.
NoteWhen replacing a PRE1 module with a PRE2 module, you must also install EMI gaskets and RF absorber
material. For more information, go to the following URL:
PRE1 modules support error checking and correction (ECC) for all onboard memory, replacing the
simpler parity error algorithm of the original PRE module. A general-purpose RISC processor (262–300
OL-18259-09
MHz MIPS RISCMark RM7000) support high performance Layer 3 forwarding of traffic. The
combination of a general purpose RISC processor with advanced programmable PXF network
processors provides the capacity to support the aggregation of thousands of active connections in a single
Cisco uBR10012 chassis when supporting IP applications such as access policy filtering, rate-based
queuing, and QoS.
PRE2 Modules
PRE2 modules are designed to address Internet service provider (ISP) requirements. The PRE2 has four
PFX network processors (containing 64 individual processors) with two independent 32-MB SDRAM
control memories on each processor set. The PRE2 provides 6.2 Mpps of processing power and has a
500-MHz RM 7000 mips processor with integrated 16-KB data and 16-KB instruction Level 1 caches,
an integrated 256-KB Level 2 cache, and a 4-MB Level 3 cache.
Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC automatically enables the following features:
• Route Processor Redundancy Plus (RPR+)
• 6.2 mpps processing power
• Software features available with PRE2 and Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC:
The Performance Routing Engine 4 (PRE4) is the fifth-generation Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF)
packet processing and scheduling engine for the Cisco uBR10012 router.
PRE4 enhances the performance capability of the Cisco uBR10012 router to 10 Mpps by providing
increased density Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and higher throughput of the 10GE SPA interface.
The PRE4 runs Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB and later releases. Benefits of the PRE4 include:
• 800-MHz dual processor
• 64 PXF network processors arranged as 8 columns and 8 rows
• 512-MB packet buffer and 128-MB control memory with error-correcting code
• 4-GB ECC-protected Route Processor (RP) memory
• 10 million packets per second (Mpps) forwarding performance through the PXF complex
• 5.6-Gbps backplane bandwidth for each full-height backplane slot
• 11.2 Gbps backplane bandwidth to each SPA interface processor (SIP)
• Maximum transmission unit (MTU) support of 9216 bytes
• An external CompactFlash Disk slot (disk0)
• A 100/1000 Megabit Ethernet interface for communication between redundant PRE4s
NoteUnless otherwise indicated, all references in this document to the PRE refer to the PRE, the PRE1, the
PRE2, or the PRE4 modules. The PRE is now end-of-life (EOL) and is replaced by the PRE1, PRE2, or
PRE4.
The PRE module supports redundant operation (two PRE modules in a Cisco uBR10012 chassis). If the
primary PRE fails, the secondary PRE automatically takes over operation of the chassis. Because all
Cisco uBR10012 line cards are physically connected to both the primary and secondary PRE modules,
a switchover of PRE modules does not require human intervention to reset the line cards, as they
automatically fail over to the redundant PRE. The PRE module is hot-swappable if there is a redundant
PRE module in the chassis.
CautionYou cannot use different models of the PRE in the same chassis. If you have PRE2 modules and you wish
to upgrade, you must upgrade both of your PREs to the PRE4s. You cannot use a PRE1 or a PRE2 and
a PRE4 in the same system.
PRE Module Description
The PRE1 contains two PC media card two slots and 64 MB of onboard flash memory. Figure 1-10
shows the PRE 1 faceplate.

Connector Ports
The faceplate on the PRE contains three ports with RJ-45 connectors:
• Console port—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a terminal to the PRE
for local administrative access.
• Auxiliary port (AUX)—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a modem to
the PRE for remote administrative access.
• Fast Ethernet port—This Fast Ethernet port is used to connect the PRE to a 10/100Base-T network
NoteThe Fast Ethernet interface on the PRE module is intended for network management access
and should not be used for WAN connectivity purposes. For WAN connections, use the
appropriate network uplink cards, which take full advantage of the system's
high-performance PXF processing subsystem.
PC Media Card Slots
Two PC media card slots (one CompactFlash Disk slot for the PRE4) can store the Cisco IOS image or
a system configuration file on a PC media card or CompactFlash Disk. The system can also boot from
the software stored on the PC media card or CompactFlash Disk. The PC media card slots support Type
I or Type II cards. See the “Removing and Installing a PC Media Card” section on page 16 for more
information about inserting and removing PC media cards from the PRE.
LCD Screens
The two LCD screens below the PC media card slots display alphanumeric information about the status
of the of the PRE module.
PRE LED Indicators and Buttons
LEDs on the faceplate of the PRE provide a visual indication of the status of PRE operation (see
Figure 1-10). The LEDs are separated into three categories: alarms, status, and failure.
• ALARM—Alarm relay contacts on the Cisco uBR10012 router connect the router to a site alarm
maintenance system. This allows critical, major, and minor alarms generated by the
Cisco uBR10012 router to be displayed on the PRE faceplate and also translated to external visual
or audible alarms connected to the system. See the “Connecting Alarm Indicators” section on
page 3-36 for more information about alarm connections. Pressing the alarm cutoff (ACO) button
on the (primary) PRE during an alarm condition shuts off the external alarm, but does not deactivate
the alarm LEDs on the PRE faceplate. Alarm LEDs on the faceplate are deactivated only after the
condition that caused the alarm is corrected.
• STATUS—Indicates the status of the PRE.
• FAIL—Indicates that a major failure has disabled the PRE.

The Cisco uBR10012 router currently supports the following SIPs:
• Cisco Wideband SIP for the Cisco Wideband SPA
• Cisco 10000 Series SPA Interface Processor-600
The Cisco Wideband SIP can support up to two Cisco Wideband SPAs. The Cisco uBR10012 router can
support up to six SPAs. For more information about the introduction of support for different SIPs and
SPAs, refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration Guide at the following location:
On the Cisco uBR10012 router, the Timing, Communication, and Control Plus (TCC+) card acts as a
secondary processor that performs the following functions:
• Generates and distributes 10.24 MHz clock references to each of the cable interface line cards.
• Generates and distributes 32-bit time-stamp references to each of the cable interface line cards.
• Allows software to power off independently any or all of the cable interface line cards.
• Drives the LCD module used to display system configuration and status information.
• Monitors the supply power used by the chassis.
• Provides two redundant RJ-45 ports for external timing clock reference inputs such as a Global
Positioning System (GPS) or building integrated timing supplies (BITS) clock.
When two TCC+ cards are installed, they are configured as active and backup (redundant). If the TCC+
card in the first slot is working at system power-up, it automatically becomes the active card and the
TCC+ card in the second slot becomes the backup card. The TCC+ cards monitor each other’s priority
information so that if the active card fails, the active card role is transferred to the redundant backup card
without lose of data.
Figure 1-13 shows the faceplate of the TCC+ card. The handle provides for the insertion and removal of
the card from the chassis.
CautionDo not attempt to lift the chassis using one of these handles.
The faceplate on the TCC+ card has seven LEDs labeled POWER, STATUS, MAINT, PRESENT, and
ACTIVE. Separate PRESENT and ACTIVE LEDs are associated with the primary and secondary
external clock reference inputs.
For more information, see Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router TCC+ Card.
On the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router, the DTCC card acts as a secondary processor that
performs the following functions:
• In the default DTI mode, a 10.24 MHz clock and 32-bit DOCSIS timestamp are generated by the
DTI Server, propagated to DTI client using DTI protocol, and distributed by DTI client to each cable
interface line card.
• Allows software to independently power off any or all cable interface line cards.
• Drives the LCD panel used to display system configuration and status information.
• Monitors the supply power usage of the chassis.
• Two RJ-45 cables with the DTI server, which, in turn, can generate the clock using its own oscillator
or external timing reference inputs such as GPS or network clock.
Two DTCC cards are installed and configured as active (primary) and backup (redundant). If the DTCC
card in the first slot is working at system power-up, it automatically becomes the active card and the
DTCC card in the second slot becomes the backup card. The DTCC cards monitor each other’s priority
information, so that if the active card fails, the active card role is transferred to the redundant backup
card without loss of data.
Figure 1-13 shows the faceplate of the DTCC card.
Figure 1-14Cisco DTCC Front Panel
The front panel on the DTCC card has seven LEDs. They are labeled POWER, STATUS,
MAINTENANCE, PRESENT, and ACTIVE. The second set of PRESENT and ACTIVE LEDs are
associated with the primary and secondary external clock reference inputs.

The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S, U and H cable interface line cards are 20 by 16 inch cards designed
specifically for the Cisco uBR10012 router. These cards transmit and receive RF signals between the
subscriber and the headend over hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) system.
Upstream data, from the subscriber, comes through the upstream ports (US0-US19) on the Cisco
uBR10-MC5X20S/U/H cable interface line card. The line card processes and configures the data and
sends it across the backplane to the WAN/backhaul card and out to the Internet.
Downstream data, to the subscriber, comes from the Internet through the WAN/backhaul card, and across
the backplane to the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U/H cable interface line card. The Cisco
uBR10-MC5X20S/U/H card processes and configures the data and sends it out through the appropriate
downstream port (DS0-DS4) to be combined with the rest of the downstream signals in the headend.
Cable Interface Line Cards
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U line cards use burst receivers that report unequalized Modulation Error
Ratio (MER). The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20H line cards use burst receivers that report equalized MER.
Equalized MER will almost always be at least a few decibels (dB) higher than an unequalized MER
measurement of the same signal under identical conditions.
Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card supports downstream and upstream traffic over
Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS)-based cable modem networks. The card

2400W AC-Input Power Shelf for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router
Before you install the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router, consider:
• The power and cabling requirements that must be in place at your installation sites
• The equipment required to install the router
• The environmental conditions your installation site must meet to maintain normal operation
This chapter guides you through the process of preparing for your router installation.
Do not unpack the system until you are ready to install it. Keep the chassis in the shipping container to
prevent accidental damage until you determine an installation site.
NoteThe Cisco uBR10012 router (using DC power supplies) is not shipped with wiring to connect to a DC
power source. You must provide input, return, and earthing (grounding) wiring at the site, and install and
protect the wiring in accordance with local and national wiring regulations (see Tabl e 3-4 ).
Safety
When you install the Cisco uBR10012 router, observe all of the following caution and warning
statements. For warning translations, refer to the regulatory compliance and safety documentation at the
following URL:
The following guidelines will help ensure your safety and protect the equipment. However, these
guidelines may not cover all potentially hazardous situations you may encounter during system
installation, so be alert.
• The installation of your Cisco uBR10012 router must comply with national and local electrical
codes. In the United States, this means the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United
States National Electrical Code. In Canada, Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CC22.1. In other
countries, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364, part 1 through part 7.
• Review the safety warnings listed in the regulatory compliance and safety documentation before
installing, configuring, or performing maintenance on the product.
• Always disconnect power at the source before you install or remove a chassis.
• Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy to lift safely by yourself.
• Keep the chassis area clear and as dust free as possible during and after installation.
• Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (including rings and chains), or other items that could get caught
in the chassis.
• The Cisco uBR10012 router operates safely when it is used in accordance with its marked electrical

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which occurs when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, can result in complete or intermittent failures. The performance routing engine
(PRE), and all line cards consist of a printed circuit card that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal
carrier helps to protect the cards from ESD, use an antistatic strap each time you handle the modules.
Handle the carriers by the edges only; never touch the cards or connector pins.
CautionAlways tighten the captive installation screws on all system components when you are installing them.
These screws prevent accidental removal of the module, provide proper grounding for the system, and
help to ensure that the bus connectors are properly seated in the backplane.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Before removing a card from the chassis, connect the equipment end of the strap to a bare metal,
unpainted surface on the chassis or rackmount.
• Handle line cards by the faceplates and carrier edges only; avoid touching the card components or
any connector pins.
2-2
• When removing a line card, place the removed module component-side-up on an antistatic surface
or in a static-shielding bag. If the module will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a
static-shielding bag.
• Avoid contact between the modules and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD
voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
CautionFor safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
The Cisco uBR10012 chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. When fully populated, the
Cisco uBR10012 system weighs approximately 230 pounds. A depopulated chassis weighs
approximately 55 pounds.
When moving the chassis, use the following guidelines to prevent injury and damage to the equipment:
• Before you install the system, ensure that your site is properly prepared so you can avoid having to
move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
• A fully populated chassis should be moved only with a hydraulic lift or forklift. Do not attempt to
manually lift a populated chassis.
• Two people are required to safely move a depopulated chassis. This should be done by using the
handles on each side of the chassis.
Chassis-Lifting Guidelines
Warning
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the
handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed
to support the weight of the unit.
• Never attempt to lift even a depopulated chassis by yourself. Because of the size and weight of the
Statement 1032
chassis, use at least two people to safely lift and move it without causing injury or damaging the
equipment.
• To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
• Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chassis 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 back muscles.
• If you have to move a fully populated chassis and you do not have a hydraulic lift or forklift
available, you must first remove the following components from the chassis:
–
Fan assembly module
–
AC or DC power entry modules (PEMs)
–
Cable interface line cards
–
Network uplink line cards
In a fully loaded chassis, these components weigh approximately 170 pounds, so removing them
allows the chassis to be safely moved with two people. The components can then be reinserted after
the chassis has been moved and installed. See Chapter 5, “Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router”
for instructions on removing these components.
CautionWhen removing and reinstalling these modules, be certain to follow the precautions given in the
“Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” section on page 2-2.
• Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.In particular, verify that
all power to the chassis has been removed. Do not try to move a chassis that is connected to power
or that is powered on.
All system components are hot-swappable. They are designed to be removed and replaced while the
system is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system.
Follow these basic guidelines when you are working with any electrical equipment:
• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
• Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a chassis.
• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Never install equipment that appears damaged.
• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Site Requirements
This section provides information for environmental, power, cabling, and rack mounting requirements.
Be sure that you have met all of these requirements before you install your Cisco uBR10012 router.
CautionThe Cisco uBR10012 router installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for use
with copper conductors only. 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 6-AWG, copper ground conductor at a minimum.
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.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Environmental Site Requirements
The environmental monitoring functionality in the Cisco uBR10012 router protects the system and
components from potential damage from excessive voltage and temperature conditions. To ensure
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 41°F
through 104°F (5°C through 40°C), and keep the area around the chassis as free from dust as is practical.
Planning a proper location for the Cisco uBR10012 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 excessive temperature conditions. In addition, chassis panels
made inaccessible by poor equipment placement can make system maintenance difficult.
When you plan the location and layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet, you need to consider
how air flows through your router. The Cisco uBR10012 router draws cooling air in through the intake
vent on the front of the chassis and moves the air across the internal components and out the exhaust
vents on the top rear of the chassis (see Figure 2-1 on page 2-6).
Temperature sensors on the PRE monitor the internal air temperature and send warning messages and an
alarm condition when the internal air temperature approaches a specified threshold.
The front bottom and top rear of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and
prevent overheating inside the chassis. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 in. (7.62 cm) from the vents
on the front and back of the chassis to allow for adequate airflow. Do not place the chassis where heated
exhaust air from other systems could enter the air intake vent at the bottom front, as this could cause
overheating of the system.
In addition, allow for approximately 3 to 4 ft (91.44 cm to 121.92 cm) clearance at the front and rear of
the chassis for cabling and normal system maintenance.
Site Requirements
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
1029
Statement
To avoid problems during installation and ongoing operation, follow these general precautions when you
plan the equipment locations and connections:
• 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 creates reports on any occurrences. If warning messages are displayed, take
immediate action to identify the cause and correct the problem.
• Keep the Cisco uBR10012 router off of the floor and out of areas that collect dust.
• Follow ESD prevention procedures (see “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” section on
page 2-2) to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or
intermittent equipment failure.
• Ensure that the PRE modules, line cards, blank covers, power supplies, and any power supply covers
are in place and secure. The fans direct cooling air throughout the chassis interior; a loose
component or empty slot can redirect the airflow away from active components.
Table 2 -1 lists the operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements. The ranges listed are
those within which the Cisco uBR10012 router continues 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.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Plant Wiring Guidelines
When planning the location of the new system, consider the distance limitations for signaling, EMI, and
connector compatibility, as described in the following sections.
Site Requirements
Warning
This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building
installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.
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 EMI, especially when it is caused by lightning or radio transmitters, can destroy the signal
drivers and receivers in the Cisco uBR10012 router, and can even create an electrical hazard by
conducting power surges through lines and into equipment. (Review the safety warnings in the
“Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” section on page 2-2.)
NoteTo predict and remedy strong EMI, you may also need to consult experts in radio frequency
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.
Statement 1045
interference (RFI).
Cabling Guidelines
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.
When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco uBR10012 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, or
• 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)
The extent of your network and the distances between network interface connections depend in part on
the following factors:
• Signal type
• Signal speed
• Transmission medium
The distance and rate limits referenced in the following sections are the IEEE-recommended maximum
speeds and distances for signaling purposes. Use this information as a guideline in planning your
network connections prior to installing the Cisco uBR10012 router.
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Connections
The maximum distances for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network segments and connections depend on
the type of transmission cable being used. The terms 10Base-T and 100Base-T are industry shorthand
nomenclature for the following:
The Cisco uBR10012 router should be rack-mounted for proper operation and maintenance. The
rack-mounting hardware included with chassis is suitable for standard 19-inch equipment racks and
telco-type racks. Optional hardware is available from third-party vendors for mounting in a 23-inch
equipment rack.
Mounting Guidelines
Site Requirements
Warning
The chassis should be mounted on a rack that is permanently affixed to the building.
Statement 1049
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
• Install the Cisco uBR10012 router in an open rack whenever possible.
CautionTo prevent overheating, never install the chassis in an enclosed rack or room that is not properly
ventilated or air conditioned.
• Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. You need 24 in. (61 cm) of clearance to
remove and replace system components.
CautionTo prevent the rack from tipping when installing the router in telco racks, ensure that the rack is bolted
to the floor and, if necessary, anchored with appropriate fixtures.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack.
• 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.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
NoteThis unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• If you plan to use an equipment shelf, ensure that the shelf is constructed to support the weight and
dimensions of the chassis. Use the rack-mount kit designed for the Cisco uBR10012 router.
• To mount the chassis between two 19-inch posts or rails, the inner clearance (the width between the
inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 17.3 in. (44 cm).
NoteThe height of the chassis is 31.25 in. (79.4 cm).
• When mounting the chassis in 4-post or telco racks, be sure to use all the screws and brackets
provided to secure the chassis to the rack posts.
• Install the forward rack-mount brackets before you install the chassis in the rack; and then install
• If you are also using the optional AC-input power shelf, it should be installed immediately below
the Cisco uBR10012 chassis for power cabling convenience. However, install the AC-input power
shelf after you install the chassis.
• Ensure that the router is connected to earth ground during normal use.
• Frame ground should be tied to the single building point ground, or the closest return point to
building ground.
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.
Using Power Strips with a Rack-Mount Installation
Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the mounting strips. If your rack
has a power strip, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points to ensure that you can
slide cards straight out of their respective slots. If the power strip does impair a rack-mount installation,
remove the power strip before installing the chassis in the rack, and then replace it after the chassis is
installed. See the “General Rack Installation Guidelines” section on page 3-3 for additional information
about rack-mounting your system.
Figure 2-2 shows a typical 19-inch, 4-post equipment rack with a power strip along one of the back posts.

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.
For stability and ease of use, the Cisco uBR10012 router chassis should be mounted in an equipment
rack. The chassis can be mounted in a 19-inch (standard) equipment rack (either the 4-post equipment
rack or the telco-type equipment rack) or in a 23-inch rack.
NoteFor 23-inch racks, optional mounting brackets must be ordered from third-party vendors.
CautionThe Cisco uBR10012 router chassis should always be secured in the equipment rack for normal use and
operations.
The rack-mount kit that is shipped with the Cisco uBR10012 router includes four mounting brackets for
mounting the chassis in a standard 19-inch wide equipment rack (4-post equipment rack or telco-type).
One set of mounting brackets is sufficient to properly secure the router chassis, but an additional set can
also be ordered for mounting the chassis from the front and the back.
Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router
NoteAlthough installing the chassis in a rack-mount is preferred for permanent installations, you can mount
the router in an alternate location, such as on an equipment shelf or on a tabletop for testing or diagnostic
purposes.
Preparing the Cisco uBR10012 Router for Rack-Mounting
The Cisco uBR10012 router chassis can be installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or telco rack,
either front or rear mounted, and either flush or offset from the rack.
This section describes the following guidelines and steps that must be followed before rack-mounting
the Cisco uBR10012 router:
• General Rack Installation Guidelines, page 3-3
• Removing the Chassis Components Before Installation, page 3-4
• Attaching the Mounting Brackets, page 3-9
• Installing the Cable Management Brackets (Optional), page 3-13
CautionBefore performing any of the steps in this section, be certain you have read and understood the guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
• The Cisco uBR10012 router chassis requires a minimum of 18 rack units (31.5 in. or 80 cm) of
vertical rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
• 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 rack-mount installation, remove the power
strip before installing the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.
• 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 moving
line cards, connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 in. (48.3
cm) of clearance to remove FRUs.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 in. (7.62 cm) on the front and back of the chassis for the cooling
air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or
directly next to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can
enter the inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.
Preparing the Cisco uBR10012 Router for Rack-Mounting
CautionTo prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco uBR10012 router in an enclosed rack or room that
is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.
• If also installing the optional AC-input power shelf, allow at last two rack units below the
Cisco uBR10012 chassis for the power shelf installation. Install the AC-input power shelf after you
have installed the Cisco uBR10012 chassis to avoid the possibility of accidentally crushing the
power shelf during the router’s installation.
• Cisco recommends installing an optional equipment shelf in the rack for the Cisco uBR10012
chassis because it simplifies installation, but this is not required.
• Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to
prevent the rack from falling over. However, if you are also installing an AC-power shelf, leave
enough space for the power shelf plus 2 rack units (RUs) underneath the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
• Ensure that cables from other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the
cards, or require you to disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or
upgrades.
• Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.

CautionDo not operate the system unless all slots contain a line card or a blank faceplate. Always install a
Warning
full-slot blank faceplate into an empty slot. Half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the
empty slot will rob cooling air from the other slots. A slot splitter with one half-height line card and one
blank faceplate is allowed.
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Use the following procedure to remove a slot splitter from the chassis:
Step 1Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame).
Step 2Remove any line cards from the splitter, see the “Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card”
section on page 3-4.
The slot splitter does not have ejector levers to disengage cards from the backplane, so you must remove
any line cards before you remove the splitter.
Step 3Loosen the top and bottom captive screws on the slot splitter (Figure 3-3).
Figure 3-3Captive Screw Locations
Removing the Chassis Components Before Installation
The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with four mounting brackets that can be attached to either the
front or rear of the chassis, depending on your mounting preferences. The brackets can be mounted either
flush with the edge of the chassis or set back to allow the chassis to be offset mounted in the rack.
Figure 3-5 shows the mounting brackets shipped with the Cisco uBR10012 chassis for use with a
standard 19-inch equipment or telco rack:
Figure 3-5Mounting Brackets for the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Attaching the Mounting Brackets
NoteThe four mounting brackets shipped with the Cisco uBR10012 router are for a standard 19-inch
equipment rack or telco rack. Optional mounting brackets are orderable separately from third-party
vendors to install the chassis in a 23-inch rack.
Use the following procedure to attach the mounting brackets to the chassis.
Step 1Determine whether you will be mounting the chassis with the front or rear facing forwards.
Step 2Determine whether you will flush-mount or offset-mount the chassis. Typically, flush-mounting is used
for most equipment racks except for telco racks that require offset-mounting. If either style can be used,
choose the one that is most convenient for your site.
Step 3Attach two mounting brackets to each side of the chassis in the appropriate locations. The large
mounting bracket is attached to the top of the chassis, and the smaller bracket is attached to the bottom
of the chassis.
Attach the brackets as shown in the following figures, using the screws that are supplied with the
brackets:
• Figure 3-6 shows how to attach the brackets to flush-mount the chassis with the front forwards.
• Figure 3-7 shows how to attach the brackets to flush-mount the chassis with the rear forwards.
• Figure 3-8 shows how to attach the brackets to offset-mount the chassis with the front forwards.

The Lineage power shelves are used with the DC PEM modules on the Cisco uBR10012 router. Two DC
PEM modules are supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router:
• DC PEM module (UBR10-PWR-DC=)
• DC PEM module (UBR10-PWR-DC-PLUS=)
The following sections explain how to connect the Lineage power shelves to the Cisco uBR10012 router:
Connecting the External AC-input Power Shelf to the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Connecting the Lineage Power Shelf to the UBR-PWR-DC= Module
Prerequisites
• Connect the DC power cables, alarm cables, and the AC-input cables to the Lineage power shelf, see
“Cabling the Lineage AC-DC Power Shelf” section on page 3-23.
• To meet Class A compliance standards, install the ferrite beads on the DC power cables exiting the
Lineage power shelf within 6 inches from the DC terminal blocks of the shelf. For more details, see
Attaching Ferrite Beads on the Lineage Power Shelf, page 3-19.
Required Tools and Equipment
• 2400 W DC PEM module (UBR-PWR-DC=)
• One Lineage AC-DC power shelf
• Four DC power cables, provided in Lineage accessory kit
• One alarm monitor cable, provided in Lineage accessory kit
• Ferrite beads (part number 36-0219-01), provided in Cisco uBR10012 router accessory kit
Steps
• Ferrite beads, provided in Lineage accessory kit
• Flat-head screwdriver
To connect the power shelf to the UBR-PWR-DC= module:
Step 1Cable the Lineage AC-DC power shelf, see “Cabling the Lineage AC-DC Power Shelf” section on
page 3-23.
CautionDo not connect the AC power cables to the standard wall socket.
Step 2Connect the alarm monitor cable to the Cisco uBR10012 router, see “Connecting the Alarm Monitor
Cable” section on page 3-31.
Step 3Attach the pair of the ferrite beads to the ends of DC power cables that connect to the Cisco uBR10012
router. See “Attaching Ferrite Beads on DC Power Cables” section on page 3-18.
Step 4Connect into the DC power cables into DC-input terminal connectors at the backplane of the
Cisco uBR10012 router. For information connecting the DC power cables to the Cisco uBR10012 router,
see DC Power Entry Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.
CautionThe DC power cables have joggles at the ends of the cables. While connecting these joggled ends to the
Cisco uBR10012 router, ensure that the ends face away from each other. (See Figure 3-16.)

Connecting the External AC-input Power Shelf to the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Connecting the Lineage Power Shelf to the UBR-PWR-DC-PLUS= Module
Prerequisites
• Two Lineage AC-DC power shelves are required to supply power to the UBR-PWR-DC-PLUS=
modules to power on the Cisco uBR10012 router.
• To meet Class A compliance standards, the ferrite beads must be installed on the DC “Y” power
cables exiting the Lineage power shelf within 6 inches from the DC terminal blocks. For more
details, see Attaching Ferrite Beads on the Lineage Power Shelf, page 3-19.
Required Tools and Equipment
• 3300 W DC PEM module (UBR-PWR-DC-PLUS=)
• Two Lineage AC-DC power shelves
• Two DC “Y” power cables (Amphenol), provided in Lineage accessory kit
• Two alarm monitor cables, provided in Lineage accessory kit
• Ferrite beads, provided in Lineage accessory kit
Steps
• Flat-screw driver
• 10 mm hex socket driver
NoteWe recommend that you use the DC “Y” power cables provided in the Lineage accessory kit. If you are
using a 4 AWG cable, use a high-flex high strand count power cable for optimal routing of the cables
under the front cover of the Cisco uBR10012 router. The 2 AWG wire is not supported on the
UBR-DC-PWR-PLUS= DC PEM module.
To connect the power shelf to the UBR-PWR-DC-PLUS= DC PEM module:
CautionDo not have the AC power cables attached from the Lineage power shelves to the facility power sources,
while attempting to connect the DC power cables from the power shelves to the UBR-PWR-DC-PLUS=
modules of the Cisco uBR10012 router.
Step 1Follow the steps to connect cables to the two Lineage power shelves, see Figure 3-18:
a. Open the safety cover from above the DC terminal blocks by rotating the safety cover up and off of
the DC terminal blocks of the shelves
b. Loosen and remove the M6 nuts.
c. Attach the lugged ends of the DC “Y” power cables to left DC power terminal blocks of the two
power shelves. Secure the cables with the removed M6 nuts using a 10 mm hex socket driver with
an installation torque of 45-in lbs. (See Figure 3-17.)
d. Close the safety cover on the DC terminal blocks.
e. Attach the ferrite beads (Steward 28A5131-0A2) to the DC “Y” power cables pairs (both -48 V and
RTN cables) exiting the Lineage power shelves within 6 inches from the DC terminal blocks. See
“Attaching Ferrite Beads on the Lineage Power Shelf” section on page 3-19.
