Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

Telephone Wiring Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:

Lifting Safely

A fully configured Cisco uBR7246 weighs approximately 100 lb (45.4 kg). A fully configured Cisco uBR7223 weighs approximately 75 lb (34.0 kg). The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the router, ensure that your site is properly prepared, so you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.

Whenever you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines (see Figure 1):


Figure 1: Lifting the Chassis (Cisco uBR7246 Shown)


Rack-Mount Considerations

The rack-mounting hardware included with your Cisco uBR7200 series is suitable for most 19-in., 4-post and telco-type equipment racks. Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the mounting strips. Figure 2 shows a typical 19-in., 4-post equipment rack with a power strip along one of the back posts.

If your rack has a power strip, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points to ensure that you will be able to pull port adapters and other FRUs straight out of their respective slots. If the power strip does impair a rear rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing the router in the rack, then replace it after the chassis is installed.


Figure 2: Typical 19-Inch Equipment Rack Posts and Mounting Strips


To use the rack-mounting hardware provided with your Cisco uBR7200 series, consider the following guidelines:

When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:

Caution
To prevent chassis overheating, never install your Cisco uBR7200 series in an enclosed rack or room that is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.

Figure 10:
Rack-Mounting the Chassis in a Telco-Type Rack with an Installed Cable-Management Bracket (Cisco uBR7246 Shown)


If you are rack-mounting a Cisco uBR7200 series from the rear, the rack-mount brackets are installed at the rear of the chassis, and the cable-management bracket is installed at the front of the chassis, on the right side. You must install both rack-mount brackets and the cable-management bracket before you install the chassis in the rack.

The following sections explain the procedure for rack-mounting the Cisco uBR7200 series:

These tasks are described in detail in the following subsections.

Powering Down the Router

If your Cisco uBR7200 series is already installed on a tabletop or on a workbench, or in a rack, you must power down the router and disconnect input power before attempting the rack-mount procedure.


Note Before powering down the router, use the copy running-config startup-config command to save the router's running configuration to nonvolatile memory.

Step 1 Facing the rear of the router, place the power switch (on the power supply) in the OFF (0) position. Repeat this action if a second power supply is installed in the router.

Step 2 Observe the following items:

This completes the procedure for powering down the router. If you have an AC-input power supply installed in your Cisco uBR7200 series, proceed to the next section, "Disconnecting AC-Input Power." Otherwise, skip to the "Disconnecting DC-Input Power" section.

Caution
When the input power to a Cisco uBR7246 power supply is disconnected or lost, the power supply will enter a reset cycle for 90 seconds. Wait at least 90 seconds or move the power switch from one position to the other to restart the power supply. For example, if the power supply was ON when the power was disconnected or lost, move the power switch to the OFF position, then back to the ON position. If you do not wait the full 90 seconds or move the power switch from one position to the other, the power supply will not restart.

Disconnecting AC-Input Power

The faceplate of the 550W AC-input power supply has a green OK LED, a power switch, a handle for removing, installing, and handling the power supply, an AC-input power receptacle, and two captive installation screws. (See Figure 11.)

Step 1 Unplug the AC-input power cable from the power source.

Step 2 Push the cable-retention clip that secures the input power cable to the router's power supply to the left.

Step 3 Unplug the other end of the input power cable from the power supply. (See Figure 11.)


Figure 11: Disconnecting Power from Cisco uBR7200 Series AC-Input Power Supply


Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 if a second power supply is installed.

This completes the procedure for disconnecting AC-input power. Skip to the "Installing the Brackets on the Chassis" section.

Disconnecting DC-Input Power

Warning
Before completing any of the following steps, and to prevent short-circuit or shock hazards, 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.
Warning
When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

The faceplate of the 550W DC-input power supply has a green OK LED, a power switch, a handle for removing, installing, and handling the power supply, two DC-input power receptacles, two M5 grounding receptacles, a strain-relief cover that attaches to two M4 studs to secure the DC-input power leads, and two captive installation screws. (See Figure 13.)

Step 1 Ensure that the -48V and +48V leads are disconnected from the power source.

Step 2 Using a 7 mm wrench or nut driver (or adjustable wrench), loosen and remove the two M4 nuts from the strain-relief cover that secures the -48V and +48V leads to the power supply faceplate. (See Figure 12.)


Figure 12: Removing the Strain-Relief Cover from a Cisco uBR7200 Series DC-Input Power Supply


Step 3 Using a 3/16-in. flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the screw below the +48V lead receptacle and pull the lead from the connector. (See Figure 13.) Repeat this step for the -48V lead.


Figure 13:  Disconnecting Power from a Cisco uBR7200 Series DC-Input Power Supply


Step 4 Using an 8 mm wrench or nut driver (or adjustable wrench), loosen and remove the two M5 nuts that secure the two-hole-grounding lug to the grounding receptacle, and pull the grounding lug and lead from the receptacle. (See Figure 13.)

This completes the procedure for disconnecting DC-input power. Proceed to the following section "Installing the Brackets on the Chassis."

Installing the Brackets on the Chassis

This section explains how to install the rack-mount brackets and cable-management bracket on a Cisco uBR7200 series router. Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must install a rack-mount bracket on each side of the front, middle, or rear of the chassis.

If you are rack-mounting the chassis from the front, you cannot use the cable-management bracket. If you are rack-mounting the chassis from the rear or middle of the chassis, you can install the rack-mount brackets and cable-management bracket separately; however, both rack-mount brackets and the single cable-management bracket must be installed on the chassis before the chassis is installed in the rack.

The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount and cable-management brackets are listed in the "Parts and Tools" section of this document.

Warning
After attaching the brackets, and to avoid injury, we recommend that two people install the chassis in the rack. (One person should support the chassis in the rack while the second person installs the fasteners.)

Installing Brackets on the Front of the Chassis


Note If you plan to use the cable-management brackets in your rack-mount configuration, you must install your rack-mount brackets on the rear of the chassis. Proceed to the "Installing Brackets on the Rear of the Chassis" section.

Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis.

Step 2 If you want the front of the chassis flush with the front of the rack, align the first rack-mount bracket to the threaded holes in the right side of the chassis as shown in Figure 14.

If you want the front of the chassis protruding from the rack, align the first rack-mount bracket to the threaded holes in the right side of the chassis as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15:
Installing the Rack-Mount Brackets on the Front of the Chassis so the Front of the Chassis Protrudes Out of the Rack (Cisco uBR7246 Shown)


Step 3 If you aligned the first rack-mount bracket to the right side of the chassis, thread the M4 x 6-mm Phillips flathead screws (four for the Cisco uBR7246 and two for the Cisco uBR7223) through the bracket and into the side of the chassis. Use a no. 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws. (See Figure 14.)

Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the other rack-mount bracket.

This completes the procedure for installing the rack-mount brackets on the chassis for a front rack-mount configuration. Proceed to the "Installing the Chassis in the Rack" section.

Installing Brackets on the Rear of the Chassis

Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the rear sides of the chassis.

Step 2 Align the first rack-mount bracket to the threaded holes in the right side of the chassis, and then align the rack-mount bracket to the chassis as shown in Figure 16.


Figure 16: Installing the Rack-Mount Brackets on the Rear of the Chassis (Cisco uBR7246 Shown)


Step 3 Thread the M4 x 6-mm Phillips flathead screws (four for the Cisco uBR7246; two for the Cisco uBR7223) through the rack-mount bracket and into the side of the chassis. Use a no. 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the other rack-mount bracket.

Step 5 Thread the M4 x 6-mm Phillips panhead screws (four for the Cisco uBR7246; two for the Cisco uBR7223) through the cable-management bracket and into the chassis, and tighten the screws.

This completes the procedure for installing the rack-mount brackets and the cable-management bracket on the chassis for a rear rack-mount configuration. Proceed to the "Installing the Chassis in the Rack" section.

Installing Brackets in the Middle of the Chassis for a Telco-Type Rack

Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the middle sides of the chassis.

Step 2 Align the first rack-mount bracket to the threaded holes in the right side of the chassis, and then align the rack-mount bracket to the chassis as shown in Figure 17.


Figure 17: Installing the Rack-Mount Brackets in the Middle of the Chassis- for Telco-Type Racks (Cisco uBR7246 Shown)


Step 3 Thread the M4 x 6-mm Phillips flathead screws (four for the Cisco uBR7246; two for the Cisco uBR7223) through the rack-mount bracket and into the side of the chassis. Use a no. 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the other rack-mount bracket.

Step 5 If you plan to include the cable-management bracket in your telco-type rack-mount configuration, align the bracket to the four right front side holes.

Step 6 If applicable, thread the M4 x 6-mm Phillips panhead screws (four for the Cisco uBR7246; two for the Cisco uBR7223) through the cable-management bracket and into the chassis, and tighten the screws.

Warning
To prevent injury, review the safety precautions in the section "Safety Guidelines" before installing the router in a rack.

This completes the procedure for installing the rack-mount brackets and the cable-management bracket on the chassis for a middle rack-mount configuration. Proceed to the new section "Installing the Chassis in the Rack."

Installing the Chassis in the Rack

After installing the brackets on the chassis, you mount the router by securing the rack-mount brackets to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the four slotted screws provided. Because the brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all four slotted screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the rack posts. Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 9, and Figure 10 show typical installations in a 19-in., 4-post rack and a telco-type equipment rack.

We recommend that you allow at least one or two inches of vertical clearance between the router and any equipment directly above and below it.

Warning
To prevent the rack from tipping when installing the router in telco-type racks, ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor and, if necessary, anchored with appropriate fixtures.
Warning
To maintain a low center of gravity, ensure that heavier equipment is installed near the bottom of the rack.

Step 1 On the chassis, ensure that all captive screws on the network processing engine, the I/O controller, each cable modem card, and each power supply are tightened and the port adapter retention clips are in the locked position.

Step 2 Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed. If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.

Warning
To prevent damage to the chassis or personal injury, never attempt to lift or tilt a Cisco uBR7200 series using the port adapter handles or the I/O controller handle; they are not designed to support the weight of the router. Always have someone help you when installing your Cisco uBR7200 series.

Note Two people should perform
Step 3 through Step 6.

Step 3 Position the chassis so that the front end is closest to you; then lift the chassis and move it to the rack. To prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.

Step 4 Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets (installed at the front or rear of the chassis) meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the equipment rack.

Step 5 While keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, position the router so that the holes in the brackets are aligned to those in the mounting strips.

Step 6 Insert all four 10-32 x 3/8-in. slotted screws (two on each side) through the brackets and into the mounting strips. (Use two of the bracket holes; one near the top of the bracket and one near the bottom of the bracket.) Using a 1/4-in., flat-blade screwdriver, tighten all the screws.

This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in the rack. If you have an AC-input power supply installed in your Cisco uBR7200 series, proceed to the "Reconnecting AC-Input Power" section. Otherwise, skip to the "Reconnecting DC-Input Power" section.

Reconnecting AC-Input Power

Step 1 At the rear of the router, check that the power switch on the power supply is in the OFF (0) position.

Step 2 Push the cable-retention clip to the left, away from the AC receptacle, and plug in the power cable.

Step 3 Secure the cable in the power supply AC receptacle by sliding the cable-retention clip to the right until it snaps around the connector. The cable-retention clip provides strain relief for the AC power cable. (See Figure 18.)


Figure 18: Connecting AC-Input Power to a Cisco uBR7200 Series


Step 4 Plug the AC power supply cable into the AC power source.

Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 if a second power supply is installed.

Caution
When the power switch on a Cisco uBR7200 series power supply is turned to either the ON or OFF position, the power supply will enter a reset cycle for 90 sec Wait at least 90 sec before turning the power switch from one position to the other. If you do not wait the full 90 sec, the power supply will not restart.

This completes the steps for reconnecting AC-input power. Skip to the "Powering Up the Router" section.

Reconnecting DC-Input Power


Note The color coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power source at your site. Typically, green or green/yellow is used for ground, black is used for +48V (return), and red or white is used for -48V. Make certain the lead color coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches lead color coding used at the DC power source.
Warning
Before completing any of the following steps, and to prevent short-circuit or shock hazards, 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.
Warning
When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

Step 1 Ensure that the -48V and +48V leads are disconnected from the power source.

Step 2 At the rear of the router, check that the power switch on the power supply is in the OFF (0) position.

Step 3 Connect the two-hole grounding lug on the grounding lead to the M5 grounding receptacles with the M5 nuts. Tighten the nuts using an 8 mm wrench or nut driver (or adjustable wrench). (See Figure 20.)

Step 4 If necessary, use a wire stripper to strip approximately 0.55 in. (14 mm) from the -48V and +48V leads. (See Figure 19.)


Figure 19: Stripping the DC-Input Leads


Step 5 Insert the stripped end of the +48V lead all the way into the +48V lead receptacle and tighten the receptacle screw using the same 3/16-in. flat-blade screwdriver. Repeat this step for the -48V lead.

Step 6 After tightening the receptacle screws and nuts for the ground, +48V, and -48V DC-input leads, run the +48V and -48V leads between the two strain-relief studs on the power supply faceplate. (See Figure 20.)


Figure 20: Connecting DC-Input Power to a Cisco uBR7200 Series


Step 7 Replace the strain-relief cover over the +48V and -48V leads and secure the cover to the strain-relief studs using the two M4 nuts with the 7 mm wrench or nut driver (or adjustable wrench). (See Figure 21.)


Figure 21: Replacing the Strain-Relief Cover on a Cisco uBR7200 Series DC-Input Power Supply


Step 8 Connect the ground, +48V, and -48V leads to the power source.

This completes the procedure for connecting DC-input power. Proceed to the following section "Powering Up the Router."

Powering Up the Router

Step 1 Check for the following:

Step 2 At the rear of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the ON (|) position. Repeat this step if a second power supply is installed in the router. The green OK LED on the power supply goes on.

Step 3 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.

Step 4 During the boot process, observe the system's LEDs. The LEDs on most of the port adapters go on and off in irregular sequence. Some might go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. On the I/O controller, the IO Power OK LED goes on immediately.

Step 5 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the network processing engine begins to initialize the port adapters and the I/O controller. During this initialization, the LEDs on each port adapter behave differently (most flash on and off). The enabled LED on each port adapter goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the following:

The character-based CCO supports Zmodem, Kermit, Xmodem, FTP, and Internet e-mail, and it is excellent for quick access to information over lower bandwidths. The WWW version of CCO provides richly formatted documents with photographs, figures, graphics, and video, as well as hyperlinks to related information.
