Installing and Configuring the AccessPath-TS3 System

Before you install and configure your system, you should have completed the procedures in Chapter 2, "Preparing for Installation." These procedures include gathering the required tools (see the section "Tools Required") and drilling seismic safety holes (see the section "Prepare Seismic Safety Holes").

This chapter includes the following sections:

This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.

This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Uncrate the System

The Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system is shipped inside a cardboard crate, which also contains a wooden ramp used to roll the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system off the shipping pallet. The system is enclosed in 2 system-length pieces of corrugated material connected by plastic clips that run the length of the carton. A third piece of cardboard is secured to the top of the twin side pieces by metal banding straps. The system is bolted to its shipping pallet. See Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1 Packing Crate for the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System

You should wear protective gloves and safety glasses when handling the shipping crate banding while unpacking the system. The straps that connect the packaging material are capable of inflicting damage to your skin or eyes if not handled properly.

To uncrate the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system:

Step 1 Remove the banding straps and the top of the cardboard packaging.

(a). Locate the banding straps that secure the corrugated cardboard top to the system for shipping.

(b). Using a pair of tin snips, cut the 2 straps. You may discard them.

(c). Remove the top piece of cardboard and set it aside.

Figure 3-2 Removing the Banding Straps and Cardboard Top

Step 2 Remove the corrugated cardboard pieces from around the system:

(a). Using Figure 3-2 as a guide, locate the 4 pull tabs that connect the 2 main pieces of corrugated wrapping.

(b). Refer to Figure 3-3. Starting with the pull tab at the top corner of the packaging:

— Place your index finger inside the locking mechanism and pull it toward you.

— Remove the detachable lock and set it aside.

— Repeat the process for the remaining 3 locks.

(c). Go to the other side of the packaging and repeat Steps (a) and (b).

(d). Pull the large pieces of cardboard away from the system and store them in a safe place.

Figure 3-3 Removing the Main Packing Pieces from the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System

Note The packing materials can be reused. Cisco recommends that you retain these materials in the event that you move the system to another location in the future. Discard the packing materials only if you are sure that you will never ship the system again.

Remove the Accessories, Doors, and Ramp

Figure 3-4 Doors, Ramps and Accessories Packed in Shipping Configuration

Step 1 Remove the accessory kits. A single piece of banding secures these kits to the pallet at the front of the system. Cut the banding and lift the kits out. The kits and their contents are listed in Table 3-1.

2For additional information on these cables, refer to the section "Table B-2 shows the channel mapping in the connection between Access Server Shelves 1 through 7 and patch panel 1." in Appendix B, "Cabling Specifications."

3These cables are designed for customers such as Telcos who plan to run their cabinet-to-cabinet cabling through a ceiling harness. You can also connect the cabinets directly by running shorter cables that you provide between the cabinets. The cables can be of variable length, but must have the appropriate cable assemblies and pinouts as detailed in the section "Cabinet Interconnect Cable Assemblies and Pinouts" in Appendix B, "Cabling Specifications."

Note When you order individual system components to add them to a Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system (for example, a Catalyst 5002 switch or Cisco 7206 router), you will receive accompanying accessory kits with required components. See the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System Hardware Scaling and Configuration Guide for more information.

Step 2 Refer to the warning below and Figure 3-5 to remove the doors from their shipping positions. (When the system is shipped, each door is set against 1 side of the system and placed inside a foam piece.)

When you remove the first door from its retainer, the packing material on top of the unit might lift up and inadvertently release the door on the opposite side from its retaining wrapping. This can result in the door falling and striking equipment or persons. Make sure that you assign someone to hold the second door as you remove the first door.

Figure 3-5 Removing the Doors from Their Shipping Positions

To remove the doors from their shipping position:

(a). Locate the banding strap that secures the doors to the side of the system.

(b). Using tin snips, cut the banding while a second person holds the doors. Discard the banding straps and strap guides.

(c). Lift the first door carefully out of its retaining packaging. Be sure to grasp the door firmly by the edges. Assign a second person to hold the second door on the opposite side of the system. See Figure 3-5.

(d). Set the door down against a nearby wall or carry it to the installation site. You will attach the doors to the system at the end of the installation procedure.

(e). Lift the second door out of its retaining material and place it with the first door.

Step 3 Remove the 2 wooden ramp legs from the sides of the pallet and lock them in place at the front of the pallet. (The ramp comes in 2 identical pieces, which are shipped strapped to opposite sides of the system next to the doors. See Figure 3-4.)

To remove the ramp and attach it to the shipping pallet:

(a). Using tin snips, cut the strap that secures the ramp legs to the side of the system. Be sure to have someone hold the ramp legs while you cut the strap so that the legs do not fall and strike an object or person. Discard the banding straps and strap guides.

(b). Carry 1 of the ramp legs to the front of the system.

(c). Locate the 2 pegs that extend from the shipping pallet (see Figure 3-6).

(d). Align the ramp leg so that the hole at its end is directly over 1 of the pegs and lower it until the peg fits securely into the hole in the wood. The first of the 2 ramp legs is locked into position.

(e). Repeat Steps (b) through (d) with the second ramp leg.

(f). Check again that the pegs are secure and locked. The ramp is ready for use.

Note Leave adequate space at the front of the system (approximately 15 feet [4.6 m]) to allow for the placement of the ramp and maneuvering of the system after you roll it off the ramp. The ramp attaches only to the front of the system. If you have inadvertently placed your Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system so that not enough room fronts the system, use a forklift to realign it.

Figure 3-6 Attaching the Ramp to the Shipping Pallet

Unbolt the System from the Pallet

The Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system is packed and shipped bolted to the pallet. 4 standard hex packing bolts secure the bottom of the system to the shipping pallet.

You can remove the bolts in any order, but be sure to remove all 4.

Note If you have not yet drilled seismic safety bolt holes in your floor, see the section "Prepare Seismic Safety Holes" in Chapter 2, "Preparing for Installation" or the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System Quick Start Guide.

Remove the packing bolts:

Step 1 Locate the first of the 4 bolts that secures the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system to the pallet. Each bolt is placed in a corner location on the pallet.

Step 2 Using a standard 7/8-inch socket wrench, loosen the nut that secures the first bolt to the cabinet. Remove the nut and set it aside.

Step 3 Remove and save the 2-inch-by-3-inch (5.1 cm.-by-7.6 cm.) load plates that sit beneath the nut. (You will need these plates for seismic safety bolting and if you ever need to ship the system to another location.)

Step 4 Push the loosened bolt through the pallet so that it falls to the floor.

Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the remaining bolts.

Note In order to move the system off the pallet and down the ramp, make sure that all 4 bolts drop completely through the pallet to the floor and do not obstruct the system.

Prepare the System for Transport

Before you can move the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system, you must first:

1. Raise the system by lowering the attached caster assemblies until the wheels touch the pallet.

2 caster assemblies are attached to the system—1 each at the front and at the rear. The main horizontal plate of these assemblies contains a wormscrew. By turning this wormscrew, you raise the system, providing clearance for it to roll off the pallet, down the ramp, and to the installation site.

2. Align the wheels with the ramps.

When you move a single caster assembly (front or back), the corresponding assembly also moves. In order to keep the system in balance and eliminate any chance that you might tip the system over, Cisco recommends that 2 people work together to simultaneously raise or lower the caster assemblies.

Figure 3-7 Lowering the Casters to Raise the System

To prepare to move the system off the pallet and to the installation site:

Step 1 Assign 1 person to the caster assembly at the front of the system and 1 person to the assembly at the back of the system. Refer to Figure 3-7.

Step 2 Simultaneously lower both caster assemblies:

(a). Attach a 7/16-inch hex socket wrench (or open-end or box-end wrench) to the wormscrew in the center of each horizontal plate.

(b). Turn the wrench clockwise to lower the casters and raise the system.

(c). Continue to lower the casters in a coordinated fashion until all 4 wheels barely touch the pallet surface.

Step 3 Use your hands to align the front and back caster wheels so that they are:

Parallel with each other
Aligned with the direction of the ramp

Be sure that no one is turning the wormscrew on the caster assembly when you align the wheels.

Note Be sure to align the wheels before you begin to push the system down the ramp. When all 4 caster wheels have reached the channels within each ramp leg, you can direct the system to the floor (see the following section, "Move the System to the Installation Location").

Step 4 Continue lowering the caster assemblies until the cabinet reaches its maximum height (approximately 1 1/2 inches or 3.8 cm above the pallet surface). Raising the system provides the clearance necessary for passage down the ramp and across a flat surface.

Move the System to the Installation Location

You are ready to move the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system down the ramp and to the installation location. Verify that all 4 packing bolts have been removed and stored and that the caster wheels are aligned.

We recommend that 5 people work together to roll the unit down the ramp and to the installation site. Using fewer than 3 people will substantially increase the risk to personnel and equipment.

Figure 3-8 Moving the System Off the Pallet

The cabinet has a high center of gravity. Use care when moving it.

To move the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system from the pallet to the installation site:

Step 1 Position yourself and the assisting personnel in the most efficient configuration. If, as recommended, you have assigned 5 people to this task, position 4 at the corners of the system. The fifth person should monitor and supervise the procedure.

It is important that you choose the right speed at which to move the system down the ramp and onto the floor. The ideal rate will allow you to maintain maximum control of the system while reaching the floor surface quickly. Avoid rolling the system so quickly that it is difficult to control when it reaches the floor.

Step 2 Roll the system down the ramp within the guidelines provided in the preceding Caution.

Before you move the system across the floor and to the specified installation site, check for obstacles or protrusions that might obstruct the movement of the system or damage it. Cisco recommends that you select a clear path to the installation site. Navigate around any obstacles with care.

Step 3 After the system has reached the flat surface of the floor, roll it to the installation site. Push the system quickly enough to maintain momentum, but not so quickly that you have difficulty turning or slowing the system.

Step 4 When you have reached the installation site, install the 4 seismic safety anchors in each hole.

Step 5 Move the system into position over the seismic safety bolt holes.

Install the Cabinet

To complete your installation of the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system, you must bolt the system to the floor and remove the casters used to transport the system to the site.

Note If you have drilled bolt-hole patterns that conform to the Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) standard, you must remove the Catalyst 5002 switch, then reinstall it after you have bolted the system to the floor. To remove the switch, follow the instructions in the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System Hardware Scaling and Configuration Guide. (If you have an Entry configuration, you will not have a Catalyst 5002 in the system.)

If you have used the Cisco-recommended drilling pattern, you will not need to remove the Catalyst 5002 switch.

To lower the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system into place:

Step 1 Make sure that the seismic safety anchors have been placed in each hole. If you have not yet placed the anchors in each hole, push the system away from the installation site and place each of the 4 steel casings in the holes.

Step 2 Align the mounting positions in the cabinet with the corresponding holes in the floor.

Figure 3-9 Seismic Safety Bolting Assembly

Step 3 Collect the 4 threaded rod assemblies that you will use to secure the system to the floor. Cisco recommends that you use a bolting kit supplied by HILTI. The HILTI kit consists of:

4 threaded rods, or M12 stud, 110 mm (4.33 inches) in length.
4 M12 washers.
4 M12 torque nuts, the bottom portion of which is encased in plastic (the top portion, which is visible, is designed to break away when you tighten the nut to 60 ft.-lb).

In addition, you will use the load plate you saved when you unbolted the system from the pallet.

Note If you are using a bolting kit from another source, the individual components and corresponding installation procedures may vary. Refer to the documentation provided with your bolting kit.

Step 4 Locate the mounting position on the base of the cabinet. Place a threaded rod in the hole and (using your hand) turn it counterclockwise until it no longer moves (the rod should have entered a minimum of 5 threads into the casing).

Step 5 Repeat Step 4 for the remaining threaded rods, being careful not to tighten any down until you have installed all of the rods, lowered the system to the floor, and removed both caster assemblies.

Step 6 Raise the casters to lower the system completely to the floor:

(a). With 1 person working on the front assembly and 1 person working on the back, attach the appropriate wrench to the turning mechanism (wormscrew) on each caster plate.

(b). Turn the wrench in a counterclockwise direction.

(c). When the system makes contact with the floor, verify that none of the caster wheels touch the floor.

Figure 3-10 Disassembling the Casters

Each caster assembly weighs approximately 100 pounds. 2 people should participate in removing each assembly in order to prevent bodily injury. Exercise caution when pulling the assemblies away from the system.

Step 7 Disassemble the caster assemblies by following these steps:

(a). Locate the 2 bolts that connect the assembly (see Figure 3-10).

(b). Use an Allen wrench to loosen the 2 bolts. Remove them and set them aside.

(c). Pull the rest of the assembly away from the bottom of the system and set the components in a safe place.

(d). Repeat Steps (a) through (c) for the second caster assembly.

Note Do not misplace or discard the disassembled casters. You will need the caster assemblies if you want to move the system to another location in the future. To reassemble the casters, simply reverse the steps described here.

Step 8 Tighten each of the threaded rods and secure them to the floor using a torque wrench.

The parts that make up each threaded-rod assembly include the threaded rod, a rectangular plate with a hole in its center, a washer and a 2-part nut assembly, the top portion of which detaches when you tighten the rod into place.

(a). Place the metal load plate over the threaded rods. Align the hole over the threads and lower the plate onto the floor of the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system.

(b). Place a washer over the rod and let it drop onto the plate.

(c). Place a nut assembly onto the top of the threaded rod and tighten it down. Continue tightening to a tension of 60 ft-lb. At this point, the visible metal portion of the nut will shear away, leaving the plastic-encased portion in place.

(d). Repeat Steps (b) and (c) for the remaining bolt assemblies until you have secured the system into the floor.

Because these nuts will shear when 60 ft-lb are reached, you should use a box-end or 19mm socket wrench to tighten them. Be careful not to injure your hands and fingers during this process.

Verify Signal Cabling

Although the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system arrives precabled, you should check to make sure that all the cables are connected and properly seated.

There are 2 kinds of cables:

Signal cables connect system devices to the signal harness (for network communications)
Power cables attach devices to the AC power strip or DC busbar (providing power to the shelves)

In this section, we will discuss the signal cables. Power cabling is discussed in the section "Connect Power".

Table 3-2 describes the signal cables, providing their part numbers, functional descriptions, and labels for the cable ends. The labels describe signal cables connection between the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system shelves and the signal harness.

For illustrations of the signal harness, see Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12. For information on cable assemblies and pinouts, see Appendix B, "Cabling Specifications."

1Entry configuration only. This cable is used only with Cisco Ethernet switching port adapter (PA-12E/2FE) in slots 3 and 4 of the Entry configuration's Router Shelf.

The signal harness is the conduit by which the devices communicate with one another. Cables are routed from each device into specified connectors on the signal harness. The signals are transmitted through the harness, enabling communications between the system devices.

Figure 3-11 shows the position of the signal harness in the cabinet. Figure 3-12 shows a detailed view of the signal harness, including the connector descriptions that have been silk screened onto it.

Figure 3-11 Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System Signal Harness

Figure 3-12 Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System Signal Harness Connector Descriptions

Verify Signal Cabling within the Cabinets

Check the signal cabling within the cabinet (or cabinets) of your Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system.

Note For complete listings of Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system cable connections and cable assembly diagrams and pinouts, see Appendix B, "Cabling Specifications."

The ports labeled Ethernet, 10BaseT, Serial, Console, and auxiliary contain safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. PRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. Avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the TNV circuits.

Check the signal cabling for the system devices in the following order. You may use either of the following procedures to perform your verification.

Make sure that all cables are connected where they should be and that all of the cables are firmly seated.

Detailed Signalling Cable Verification Procedures

Step 1 Check cabling to the patch panels. 2 cables (72-1466-xx) should be connected from each patch panel. These cables route T1/E1 PRI connections into the system. (See Figure 3-13.)

(a). Verify that 1 cable connects ports J5 through J7 on the patch panel to port J1 (patch panel 1) or J9 (patch panel 2) on the signal harness.

(b). Verify that the other cable connects ports J1 through J4 on the patch panel to port J2 (patch panel 1) or J10 (patch panel 2) on the signal harness.

Figure 3-13 Patch Panel Cabling

Step 2 Check cabling to the Access Server Shelves:

(a). Verify that a 4-legged cable (72-1464-xx) connects Access Server Shelf ports PRI0 through PRI3 to the signal harness at the closest odd-numbered connector between J13 and J39. (See Figure 3-14.)

(b). Verify that a 3-legged cable (72-1463-xx) connects Access Server Shelf ports console 0, Ethernet 0, and Fast Ethernet 0 to the signal harness at the closest even-numbered connector between J14 and J40. (See Figure 3-14.)

Figure 3-14 Access Server Shelf Cabling

Step 3 Check cabling to the Router Shelf (or Shelves):

(a). Verify that a 12-legged cable (72-1462-xx) connects Router Shelf Fast Ethernet ports 5/2 through 5/13 to the signal harness at J46 (Router Shelf 1) or J42 (Router Shelf 2). (See Figure 3-15.)

(b). Verify that a 2-legged cable (72-1465-xx) connects Router Shelf ports console 0 and Ethernet 0 to the signal harness at J44 (Router Shelf 1) or J41 (Router Shelf 2). (See Figure 3-15.)

Figure 3-15 Router Shelf Cabling

In addition, depending on your configuration, you may need to check the following:

For all configurations except Entry configurations. Verify that a single-stranded cable (72-1489-xx) creates a failover path on the Router Shelf itself, connecting from port 0/0 to port 5/0.
High-End configurations only. Verify that the Router Shelf interconnect cable (72-1490-xx) is properly installed connecting Router Shelf 1 Fast Ethernet 5/1 to Router Shelf 2 Fast Ethernet 5/1. (See Figure 3-16.)

Figure 3-16 Router-to-Router Connections

Entry configurations only. Verify that a 12-legged cable (72-1487-xx) connects Router Shelf Fast Ethernet ports 3/2 through 3/13 to the signal harness at J56. (See Figure 3-17.)

This cable, which is identical in function and purpose to 72-1462-xx, attaches to the second Cisco Ethernet switching port adapter (PA-12E/2FE), which is not included in the Router Shelf in the Midrange, High-End, and High-End Extended configurations.

Entry configurations only. Verify that a single-stranded cable (72-1489-xx) creates a failover path on the Router Shelf itself, connecting from port 0/0 to port 3/0. (See Figure 3-17.)

Figure 3-17 Entry Configuration Router Shelf Cabling

Step 4 Check the System Controller cabling:

(a). Verify that 4 straight-through 68-pin asynchronous cables (72-1461-xx) connect System Controller to the signal harness as follows:

— Async 0-7 should be connected to J49 on the signal harness.

— Async 8-15 should be connected to J51 on the signal harness.

— Async 16-23 should be connected to J50 on the signal harness.

— Async 24-31 should be connected to J52 on the signal harness. (See Figure 3-18.)

(b). Verify that a 2-legged cable (72-1457-xx) connects the System Controller Ethernet 0 and Ethernet 1 ports to the signal harness at J48. (See Figure 3-18.)

Figure 3-18 System Controller Cabling

Step 5 All configurations except Entry configurations. Check the cabling on the Switch Shelf:

(a). Verify that two 12-legged cables (72-1462-xx) connect Switch Shelf Fast Ethernet ports 1 through 12 and 13 through 24 to the signal harness at J56 and J57 respectively. (See Figure 3-19).

(b). Verify that a 3-legged cable (72-1486-xx) connects the Switch Shelf's supervisor module console, Fast Ethernet 1, and Fast Ethernet 2 ports to the signal harness at J55. (See Figure 3-19.)

Figure 3-19 Switch Shelf Cabling

Step 6 Check the expansion cabling if you have a High-End Extended Cabinet Configuration. See the section "Connect Signal Cabling Between Cabinets (High-End Extended Configuration Only)" for more information on expansion cabling.

Connect Signal Cabling Between Cabinets (High-End Extended Configuration Only)

The Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system comes in 4 different configurations, the most advanced of which is the High-End Extended configuration.

Customers who order the High-End Extended configuration must cable the devices in the secondary cabinet to those in the primary cabinet using 5 expansion cables connected to specific locations within each signal harness. The maximum space between the cabinets is 30 feet (9.14 m).

Use Table 3-3 Figure 3-20 to connect the expansion cables to the appropriate connectors on the 2 signal harnesses (in the primary and secondary cabinets).

Table 3-3 Expansion Cabinet Cabling

Connect Power

The Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system comes in AC and DC versions. Follow the procedure below that corresponds to the system that you ordered.

Verify Your Site Meets Power Requirements

To connect power to the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system, you must first verify that your site meets the power requirements.

Power requirements, which help guarantee power redundancy for the Router Shelf and Switch Shelf:

For AC systems, Cisco recommends that you use 7 dedicated 20 A (100-127 VAC) or 10A (200-240 VAC) circuits per cabinet for maximum AC power distribution.
For DC systems, Cisco recommends that you use 4 dedicated 45 A (-48 to -60 VDC) circuits per cabinet for maximum DC power distribution.

Connect AC Power

For a Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system equipped for AC power, the power is supplied to the various shelves through 7 power strips located on the right side of the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System, inside the front door.

Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 20A U.S. (240 VAC, 16 to 20A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors). The fuse or circuit breaker must have adequate safety approvals recognized by the country of use.

Secure all power cabling when installing this unit to avoid disturbing field-wiring connections.

This unit has more than 1 power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock when servicing a unit, disconnect the power cord of the power strip that the unit is plugged into.

The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main disconnecting device.

Step 1 Make sure that all of the shelves are turned OFF.

Step 2 Verify that the AC power connections are firm between the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system shelves and the power strip.

Check AC power cabling to the power strip in the following order, starting at the top of the rack:

Access Server Shelves
Router Shelf or Shelves (depending on configuration)
System Controller
Switch Shelf (depending on configuration)
The out-of-band modem (if you have installed it)

Plug any unconnected power cords that come from Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system shelves into the power strip. (These connections should have been made prior to shipping, but might have loosened or been disconnected during transit.)

Figure 3-27 shows the individual connections and corresponding silk screen markings for the AC power strip.

Figure 3-27 AC Power Strip

Step 3 Connect each of the AC power input cables to a separate grounded power source.

This will require 7 dedicated 20A (100-127 VAC) or 10A (200-240 VAC) circuits per Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system cabinet.

Step 4 You may turn each of the shelves ON, one at a time.

Connect DC Power

For a Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system equipped for DC power, the power is supplied to the various shelves through a DC busbar. This busbar comes with the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system and is installed in the system cabinet.

This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use.

Step 1 Verify that all of the shelves in the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system have been connected to earth ground. (These ground connections should have been made prior to shipping, but might have loosened or been disconnected during transit.)

Check DC grounding in the following order, starting at the top of the rack:

Access Server Shelves
Router Shelf or Shelves (depending on configuration)
System Controller
Switch Shelf (depending on configuration)

For an example of DC grounding, see Figure 3-28.

Note This is a sample of grounding for the Access Server Shelf. Grounding schemes are different for each shelf type; for more information on grounding procedures, see the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System Hardware Scaling and Configuration Guide.

Figure 3-28 Access Server Shelf with DC Ground Connected

Step 2 If you need to ground any of the shelves, do so. See Figure 3-29.

Figure 3-29 Connecting a DC Access Server Shelf to Earth Ground

Step 3 Verify that all of the shelves in the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system have been connected to the DC busbar. (These connections should have been made prior to shipping, but might have loosened or been disconnected during transit.)

Check DC power connections to the busbar in the following order, starting at the top of the rack:

Access Server Shelves
Router Shelf or Shelves (depending on configuration)
System Controller
Switch Shelf (depending on configuration)

For an example of DC power connections, see Figure 3-30. For information on where each shelf should connect to the DC busbar, see Figure 3-34.

Figure 3-30 Shelf Power Connection to the DC Busbar

Step 4 If you need to connect any of the shelves to the DC busbar, do so.

(a). Wire the DC busbar connector to the shelf's DC power supply. Connect the red wire to positive (+) and the black wire to negative (-). See Figure 3-31.

Figure 3-31 Wiring the DC Busbar Connector to a Shelf's DC Power Supply

(b). Connect the shelf to the DC busbar using the connector. See Figure 3-32 and Figure 3-33.

Figure 3-32 Connecting a Shelf to the DC Busbar

Figure 3-33 Shelf Connected to the DC Busbar

Figure 3-34 DC Busbar and Connector Labels

Step 5 Connect the main earthing wire to either set of double grounding studs using a 2-6 AWG copper stranded wire crimped to a double lug of the appropriate size. (These studs are located at the top and bottom of the rear of the system.)

Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.

Step 6 Remove the DC busbar inlet panel. See Figure 3-35.

Figure 3-35 Removing or Installing the DC Busbar Inlet Panel

Step 7 Connect DC power to the DC busbar. This will require 4 dedicated 45 A (-48 to -60 VDC) circuits per Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system cabinet.

With the DC power source turned OFF, connect 2-6 AWG copper-stranded wire to the DC busbar using the provided double lugs and following these guidelines:

Use red or white insulated wire for the positive (+) feeds and black insulated wire for the negative (-) feeds.
Use the larger lugs for the positive(+) feeds and the smaller lugs for the negative(-) feeds.
Wire all 4 positive (+) feeds first and then the negative (-) feeds.
Use the larger bolts (3/8 inch) for positive (+) connections and the smaller bolts (5/16 inch) for negative (-) connections.
Connect the positive (+) input wires to the positive (+) bolts and the negative (-) inputs wires to the negative (-) bolts.
Do not tighten the nuts down all the way. See Figure 3-36.

Figure 3-36 Connecting DC Power Feeds to the DC Busbar

Step 8 Reduce possible strain on the DC electrical connection by installing the strain relief kit at the top of the cabinet. See Figure 3-37.

(a). Screw the flat portion of the strain relief kit to the top of the cabinet.

(b). Place the rounded portion of the DC strain relief kit around the DC power feeds at the top of the system.

(c). Screw the 2 pieces of the kit together until they grip the power feeds. Do not tighten these screws down.

Figure 3-37 Installing the DC Power Feed Strain Relief Kit

Step 9 Tighten the nuts that connect the DC power feeds to the inlet.

Step 10 Tighten the 5 screws on the strain relief kit so that they firmly grip the DC power feeds. (See Figure 3-37 and Figure 3-38.)

Figure 3-38 DC Power Feed Strain Relief Kit After Installation

Step 11 Replace the DC inlet panel. See Figure 3-35.

Step 12 Make sure that all of the shelves are turned OFF.

Step 13 Turn ON power at the DC power source.

After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position.

Step 14 You may turn each of the shelves ON, one at a time.

Verify Power and Physical Connectivity

Follow these steps to verify power and physical connectivity for the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 Integrated Access System:

Step 1 Verify that the fans are running on each of the shelves of the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system. If the fans are operational, then the power cords are operational, power is turned ON, and the fuses or circuit breakers are functioning.

Step 2 Verify connectivity. Be sure to wait 60 seconds from power-up for all devices to initialize.

Step 3 Check the Power OK LEDs on each of the following shelves. At initial startup, the OK LEDs should flash ON. After all devices have initialized, the LEDs should remain ON. This indicates that each shelf is functioning properly. Refer to Figure 3-39 through Figure 3-42 for the location of the OK LEDs on each shelf.

Figure 3-39 System Controller System LED

Figure 3-40 Access Server Shelf OK LED

Figure 3-41 Router Shelf I/O Power OK LED

Figure 3-42 Switch Shelf Power OK LED

Step 4 Check the connection to the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system from the telco. All 3 LEDs for each of the T1 or E1 lines feeding into the Access Server Shelves should be OFF. In addition, the OK and ACT LEDs should be ON.

Step 5 Check the connections between the shelves in the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system.

Step 6 Check the 10BaseT connection between the Access Server Shelves and the Router Shelf or Shelves. Verify that the link status LED on the Access Server Shelves and the link status LED on the Router Shelf or Shelves are ON.

Step 7 Check the 100BaseT connection between the Access Server Shelves and the Switch Shelf. Verify that the link status LED on the Access Server Shelves is ON. Verify that the Link LED on the Switch Shelf is ON.

Step 8 Check the 100BaseTX connections between the Router Shelves and the Switch Shelf. Verify that the link status LED is ON at both ends of each cable. For interfaces with media-independent interface transceivers, the link status is on the transceiver.

Step 9 Check the connection with your network. This connection is device dependent but should have a link status on the port adapter or related transceiver that will indicate connectivity.

Verify or Configure the Software

The software configuration of the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system may have been done for you at the factory. Using the System Controller, you should verify the configuration or configure the system (depending on which is required for your Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system) as follows:

Step 1 Gain access to the system. The System Controller provides command line interface (CLI) console management services for each of the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system shelves. These services are available either:

Locally (using a console terminal). (See the section "Make a Local Connection to the Console Port".)
Remotely (using a modem with an out-of-band connection to the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system). (See the section "Make a Remote Connection to the Auxiliary Port".)

Step 2 Use Cisco IOS software or Cisco AccessPath Manager software to verify the software configuration or configure the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system.

Make a Local Connection to the Console Port

To connect a local terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port on the System Controller:

Step 1 Connect the terminal using an RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45-to-DB-25 or RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter. (See Figure 3-43.)

Step 2 Configure your terminal or terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

Note Because hardware flow control is not possible on the console port, it is not recommended that modems be connected to the console port. Modems should always be connected to the auxiliary port, except under special circumstances. See the section "Disaster Recovery" in the chapter "ROM Monitor" of the Cisco 3640 Router Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.

Figure 3-43 Connecting the Console Terminal to the Console Port

Make a Remote Connection to the Auxiliary Port

Take the following steps to connect a modem to the auxiliary port on the System Controller:

Step 1 Connect the modem to the auxiliary port using an RJ-45 rollover cable with an RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter. (See Figure 3-44.)

Step 2 Make sure that the modem and the auxiliary port on the System Controller are configured for the same transmission speed (38400 bps is typical; up to 115200 bps is supported) and hardware flow control with Data Carrier Detect (DCD) and Data Terminal Ready (DTR) operations.

Note You should have already performed this procedure in the section called "Install the AC-Powered Out-of-Band Modem (North America Only)". If you have not connected the modem to the System Controller, do so now.

Figure 3-44 Connecting a Modem to the Auxiliary Port

Verify or Configure the Software

Use Cisco IOS software or Cisco AccessPath Manager software to verify the software configuration of IP addresses and interfaces or, if necessary, configure the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system.

Note The preferred way to work with the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 531 system is through Cisco AccessPath Manager software.

Refer to the following documents:

The chapter "Starting Up Your Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Integrated Access System for the First Time" in the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Integrated Access System Software Configuration Guide
Cisco AccessPath Manager Configuration Guide and the online help that is part of that software

Connect to the T1 or E1 Network

This section describes procedures for connecting to the T1 or E1 network at your installation.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that should be inaccessible to user contact. Do not attempt to tamper with or open any public telephone operator (PTO)-provided equipment or connection hardware. Any hardwired connection (other than by a nonremovable, connect-one-time-only plug) must be made only by PTO staff or suitably trained engineers.

Incorrect connection of this or connected equipment to a general purpose outlet could result in a hazardous situation.

This equipment is to be installed and maintained by service personnel only as defined by AS/NZS 3260 Clause 1.2.14.3 Service Personnel.

The telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector and/or 2) while the housing is open.

The E1 interface card may only be installed in an ACA-permitted customer equipment or a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) that is exempted from ACA's permit requirements. The customer equipment must only be housed in a cabinet that has screw-down lids to stop user access to overvoltages on the customer equipment. The customer equipment has circuitry that may have telecommunications network voltages on them.

Guidelines for Connecting to a T1 or E1 Network

You connect to a T1 or E1 network using patch panels, which either have RJ-48C connectors or posts for wire-wrap connections. The port mapping between the patch panel ports and the individual Access Server Shelves is the same for either wire-wrap or RJ-48C connections. (For more information on Access Server Shelf/patch panel port mapping, see "Patch Panel Cable Assembly and Pinout" in Appendix B, "Cabling Specifications.")

Connecting to the Patch Panel Using a Wire-Wrap Tool

To connect your T1 or E1 network to the patch panel using wire wrap connections:

Step 1 Unscrew and remove the metal cover that protects the wire-wrap posts. See Figure 3-45.

Figure 3-45 Removing the Metal Cover to Access the Patch Panel Wire-Wrap Posts

When you have removed the metal cover, your patch panel is ready for wire-wrap connections. See Figure 3-46.

Figure 3-46 Patch Panel Ready for Wire-Wrap Connections

Step 2 Use a wire-wrap tool to connect to the Receive Tip and Ring and the Transmit Tip and Ring connections for up to 28 connections per patch panel. Figure 3-47 illustrates the wiring locations within the patch panel.

Figure 3-47 Wire-Wrap Patch Panel Connections

Step 3 Replace the patch panel cover, routing the cables out the right side. (See Figure 3-48.)

Figure 3-48 Wire-Wrap Patch Panel with Cables Routed to the Right

Connecting to the Patch Panel Using RJ-48C Connectors

To connect your T1 or E1 network to the patch panel using RJ-48C connections:

Step 1 Plug in RJ-48C connectors for up to 28 connections per patch panel. Figure 3-49 illustrates the port locations within the patch panel.

Figure 3-49 Patch Panel Ready for RJ-48C Connections

For pinout information on the RJ-48C connectors, see Figure 3-50 and Table 3-4.
