This publication describes how to rack mount or wall mount your Cisco 3000. Topics covered in this publication include the following:
The Cisco 3000 can be mounted on a desktop, on a wall, or in a rack. When wall mounted, the Cisco 3000 can save space in small wiring closets or in areas with limited rack space. The rack-mount kit includes slides, which allow access to the chassis rear panel without having to disconnect cables or remove the unit from the rack. The rack-mount kit is designed for use in standard 19-inch racks.
Follow the instructions in this publication to mount the Cisco 3000 on a wall or in an equipment rack with the rack-mount or wall-mount and slide assembly kit.
The following tools are required for the rack-mount procedure:
The following additional tools are required for the wall-mount procedure:
Before beginning the rack-mounting or wall-mounting procedure, verify that you have all of the parts shown in Figure 1.
A mounting bracket, for both wall- and rack-mounting, must be installed onto the bottom of the chassis. Refer to Figures 2-8 while performing the following steps.
 | Warning To ensure your safety, turn off power to the chassis and unplug the power cable from the power source before disconnecting any cables. |
To install a mounting bracket on the bottom of the chassis, proceed as follows:
Step 1: Turn the power switch off and remove all cables from the back of the chassis, including the power cable.
Step 2: Turn the chassis upside down and place it on a sturdy, level working surface.
Step 3: Remove the rubber feet by removing the screw in the center of each rubber foot (see Figure 2); then pull the feet out. Discard the screws and the rubber feet.
Step 4: Place the brackets across the chassis in the orientation shown in Figure 3 and secure them with eight 4-40 x 1/4" screws. Do not install spacers at this time.
When choosing the wall on which you will mount the chassis, consider cable lengths and limitations, and wall structure.
Step 1: Position the chassis against the board, as shown in Figure 4. Use the lower of each pair of keyhole cutouts on the mounting bracket to mark the drilling points.
.
Step 2: Drill into the four marked points.
Step 3: Nail the board to the wall.
Step 4: Install No. 10 x 1" wood screws into the board, leaving a 1/8" gap between the wall and the bottom of the screw head.
Step 5: Place the chassis mounting bracket over the screws and slide it down 1/4".
Step 6: Tighten the screws.
The chassis is now ready for you to install the power cord and cables. Proceed to the section, "Making External Connections."
The rack-mount kit includes slides, which allow you to remove the chassis cover and access the system card for memory or EPROM upgrades.
Step 1: Remove the smallest, innermost slide from both slide assemblies.
Step 2: Use four 10-32 x 0.38" binding head mounting screws and four hex nuts to secure the small slides to the brackets (see Figure 5).
Step 3: Slide the extenders over the flat ends of the slide assemblies and adjust the length to the approximate rack depth (see Figure 6). Secure the extenders with four 10-32 x 0.38" binding-head mounting screws and four hex nuts.
Step 4: Place the slide assemblies inside the equipment rack as shown in Figure 7. Adjust the length, if necessary, at the extender.
Step 5: Using eight 10-32 x 0.5" oval head screws and eight steel cup washers, secure the slide assemblies to the mounting strips (four each slide assembly, two each front and back). (As in Figure 7.)
Step 6: Slide the chassis slides into the slide assemblies in the rack. Slowly and firmly push the chassis all the way into the rack. You will hear the slides click into place. If the chassis slides do not fit in the rack slides, do not force them (see the following note).
Step 7: If spacers are necessary, install spacers between the brackets and small slides, as shown in Figure 8. Up to eight spacers (four per side) can be installed.
Proceed to the section, "Making External Connections."
| Warning Never operate the Cisco 3000 unless the unit is completely closed. This ensures both adequate cooling and your safety. |
To prepare for initial startup and configuration, attach an RS-232 ASCII terminal to the system console port. Flow control is not possible on the console port; however, you can specify padding for output characters with the EXEC command terminal [no] padding, which sets character padding on the current terminal line. Refer to the Router Products Configuration and Reference publication for details on specifying padding.
Follow these steps to install the Cisco 3000 system:
Step 1: Attach the cables as follows:
Step 2: Plug the Cisco 3000 power cord into a 3-terminal, single-phase power source that provides power within the range of 90-264 VAC at 50-60 Hz.
Step 3: Turn on the power switch.
Step 4: Check the OK light emitting diode (LED) located on the left side of the system's front panel to confirm that it lights after a few seconds delay. Another indication that the unit is powered on is the sound of the fans running.
