3.2 Installation Procedures

The following sections detail the installation procedures for a Cisco 6015 with a POTS splitter configuration in a commercial environment.

Caution Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Cards are subject to ESD damage whenever they are removed from the chassis.

See the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section for ESD grounding jack locations on the Cisco 6015 system.

3.2.1 Measure Required Rack Space

For the rack to remain stable, you must install your Cisco 6015 system from the bottom to the top of the rack. Before you install any of the chassis, determine the total rack space that is required to install your system. The required rack space depends on the type of line cards installed and the number of Cisco 6015 chassis, AC/DC converters, and POTS splitters that you plan to use. The number of components will increase if you plan to install a subtended network.

You can install a combination of the following Cisco 6015 components in a 7-foot rack:

Cisco 6015 chassis.

If you are installing quad-port flexi ATU-C line cards (4xflexis), the maximum is nine chassis per rack (include subtending host and subtended node chassis).
If you are installing octal-port discrete multitone (DMT) ATU-C line cards (8xDMTs) or octal-port DMT ATU-C over ISDN line cards (8xDMT over ISDNs), the maximum is six chassis per rack (include subtending host and subtended node chassis).

AC/DC converter and converter tray—Optional.
Third-party POTS splitter.

Note Third-party POTS splitters can be installed in a Cisco 6015 with a POTS splitter configuration. Please verify the compatibility of your third-party POTS splitter with your Cisco representative.

In a system configuration using 4xflexis, install only one POTS splitter.

In a system configuration using 8xDMTs or 8xDMT over ISDNs, the system requires a POTS splitter that expands the system capacity to 48 subscriber ports. Depending on the POTS splitter selected for your configuration, the installation of an additional POTS splitter may be necessary.

Tip See "Preparing for Installation," for the calculation tables that are necessary to plan the total rack space for your Cisco 6015 system configuration.

The Cisco 6015 system fits in either a 19-inch or a 23-inch wide rack. See Table 2-3 for individual rack space requirements.

Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

—This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

—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.

—If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

If you plan to expand your system to include more chassis in the future, allow space in the rack for additions during the initial installation, keeping in mind the weight distribution and stability of the rack.

3.2.2 Install the POTS Splitter

You can use third-party POTS splitters in a Cisco 6015 with a POTS splitter configuration. Please verify the compatibility of your third-party POTS splitter with your Cisco representative.

Note In a system configuration using 4xflexis, install only one POTS splitter.

In a system configuration using 8xDMTs or 8xDMT over ISDNs, the system requires a POTS splitter that expands the system capacity to 48 subscriber ports. Depending on the POTS splitter selected for your configuration, the installation of an additional POTS splitter may be necessary.

For installation procedures for each POTS splitter, refer to the vendor documentation.

See Figure 1-2 for the correct placement of the POTS splitters.

3.2.3 Install the AC/DC Converter and Converter Tray

If you are using AC power, complete the following steps to install the AC/DC converter. If you are not using AC power, proceed to the "Install the Cisco 6015 Chassis" section.

Step 1 Use four mounting screws and a Phillips-head screwdriver to attach the extenders to the sides of the tray if you are installing the system in a 23-inch rack.

Step 2 Position an AC/DC converter tray, which occupies 1 RU of space, above the POTS splitter.

The bottom of the tray should be flush with the top of the POTS splitter.

Step 3 Use four mounting screws and a Phillips-head screwdriver to bolt the tray in the rack.

Step 4 Slide an AC/DC converter into one of the three open slots.

Step 5 Use a Phillips-head or flat-head screwdriver to attach the screw that secures the AC/DC converter in the tray.

The following sections detail the procedures to apply either AC or DC power.

Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

3.2.15.1 Apply AC Power

Complete the following steps to apply AC power to the Cisco 6015 system:

Step 1 Attach the AC power cord to the AC/DC converter.

Step 2 Plug the other end of the power cord into the wall outlet.

Caution If the power connections are improperly made and power is applied while the cards are installed, the cards and chassis could be damaged.

Step 3 Verify that the DC PEM is properly connected to the AC/DC converter, as described in the "Connect the DC PEM to the AC/DC Converter" section.

Step 4 Set the circuit breaker on the DC PEM to the ON (1) position.

Step 5 Verify that the DC PEM is operational by locating the LEDs on the front of the DC PEM. If the LED is

Green—Output is correct.
Off—DC PEM is not operational. See "Troubleshooting" for troubleshooting procedures.

Step 6 Verify that the AC/DC converter is operational by locating the LEDs on the front of the AC/DC converter.

If the left LED is green, this indicates that there is good AC input.
If the right LED is green, this indicates that there is good DC output from the DC PEM to the AC/DC converter.
If either LED is off, troubleshoot the AC/DC converter or the AC input.

3.2.15.2 Apply DC Power

Complete the following steps to apply DC power to the Cisco 6015 system:

Step 1 Apply power to the system with one of the following methods:

Install the fuses in the fuse and alarm panel.
Reinsert the fuses in the fuse and alarm panel if you removed them in the "Connect the DC PEM to the Fuse and Alarm Panel" section.
Turn on the breakers in the fuse and alarm panel.

Caution If the power connections are improperly made and power is applied while the cards are installed, the cards and chassis could be damaged.

Step 2 Verify that the DC PEM is properly connected to the fuse and alarm panel as described in the "Connect the DC PEM to the Fuse and Alarm Panel" section.

Step 3 Set the circuit breaker on the DC PEM to the ON (1) position.

Step 4 Verify that the DC PEM is operational by locating the LEDs on the front of the DC PEM. If the LED is

Green—Output is correct.
Off—DC PEM is not operational. See "Troubleshooting" for troubleshooting procedures.

Step 5 Check the polarity of the -48V DC connections to each chassis by attaching a voltmeter with the minus lead on the red wire and the plus lead on the black wire, at the fuse and alarm panel. Ensure that the meter reads between -40V DC and -68V DC. If your voltmeter shows a positive voltage, the power inputs might be reversed. If the voltmeter shows a negative voltage that is out of the -40V DC to -68V DC range, check the power supply for failure or check for a blown fuse in the fuse and alarm panel.

3.2.16 Verify Fan Module Operation

Verify that the fan module is operational by locating the LEDs on the front of the fan module. If the LEDs are

Green—The fan module is operational.
Red—The fan module is not operational and the fan module is in alarm mode. See "Troubleshooting" for troubleshooting procedures.
Off—The fan is not operational due to a power problem or the LED is defective. See "Troubleshooting" for troubleshooting procedures.

The fans should be operational before you complete the installation procedures.

Caution It is important that the Cisco 6015 cooling fans run continuously.

3.2.17 Install the POTS Cards

For POTS card installation procedures for each POTS splitter, refer to the appropriate vendor documentation.

3.2.18 Connect the Ethernet to the Management Network

Complete the following steps to connect the Ethernet to the management network.

Warning The ports labeled "Ethernet," "10BaseT," "Token Ring," "Console," and "AUX" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the BRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.

Tip Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.

Step 1 Connect the 10BaseT RJ-45 connector to the NI-2 card ENET receptacle. Figure 3-19 shows where to connect the Ethernet cable.

Note See Table 2-6 for cable and ferrite requirements.

Figure 3-19 ENET, CNSL, and AUX RJ-45 Receptacles on the DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 Card

1	Console port	3	Ethernet port
2	Auxiliary port

Step 2 Run the cable through the ferrite one time, loop the cable back through the ferrite, and clamp the ferrite shut.

Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to the management network (for example, a LAN).

3.2.19 Connect a Console Terminal

Connect a VT100-compatible terminal to the system console port on the NI-2 card (CNSL). Connect the terminal to a power source and set it up using the values shown in Table 3-2. Figure 3-19 shows where to connect the console cable. See Table 2-6 for cable requirements.

Table 3-2 Terminal Settings

Baud rate	9600 (transmit and receive)
Character size	8 bits
Parity	None
Stop bits	1
Flow control	None

3.2.20 Connect the Auxiliary Port

Connect a terminal, a modem, or another serial device to the auxiliary port on the NI-2 card (AUX). Figure 3-19 shows where to connect the auxiliary cable. See Table 2-6 for cable requirements.

Note This step is optional.

Tip Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.

3.2.21 Complete Initial Configuration

When you turn on the Cisco 6015 for the first time, an interactive dialog called the System Configuration Dialog appears on the console screen. The System Configuration Dialog guides you through the initial configuration process. (You can run the dialog at any time by entering the setup command in privileged EXEC mode.)

When you complete the dialog, the system displays the configuration command script that you have created. It then offers you three options:

[0] Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config.

[1] Return back to the setup without saving this config.

[2] Save this configuration to nvram and exit.

If you enter 2, the configuration is saved and used. If you answer 0 or 1, the configuration you created is not saved. Enter 1 if you wish to discard the configuration and restart the System Configuration Dialog.

Note Use the show facility-alarm status command to display any current alarms on the system.

The following is sample output of the show facility-alarm status command for the Cisco 6015:

 
System Totals  Critical: 1  Major: 0  Minor: 0

 
Source: ATM0/1          Severity: CRITICAL Description: 0    Loss of Signal

3.2.21.1 Before You Begin

Complete these steps before you run the System Configuration Dialog:

Step 1 Determine the IP address for the Ethernet interface.

Step 2 If you plan to configure in-band management, also determine the IP address for the ATM interface that will be used for in-band management (ATM0/0).

Step 3 Find out what the password strategy is for your environment. The System Configuration Dialog prompts you for three passwords, plus an SNMP community string. The three required password types are enable secret, enable, and virtual terminal.

Step 4 Choose a name for the Cisco 6015. (This step is optional.)

3.2.21.2 Using the System Configuration Dialog

When you power up a Cisco 6015 for the first time, you are offered the option of running the System Configuration Dialog. The System Configuration Dialog offers two configuration options: basic management setup and extended setup.

Choose basic management setup if you want to use the System Configuration Dialog to configure the passwords and the Ethernet interface only, and then use the management station or the command line interface to configure the remaining Cisco 6015 interfaces.
Choose extended setup if you want to use the System Configuration Dialog to configure all of the Cisco 6015 interfaces.

An example of the use of each option follows the "Interface Numbering" section.

3.2.21.2.1 Interface Numbering

The System Configuration Dialog and the command line interface use the following interface numbering scheme:

Interfaces whose names begin with "ATM0" (ATM0/1, ATM0/2, and so forth) are NI-2 card WAN interfaces. ATM0/0 is the ATM switch interface with the processor (sometimes referred to as the ASP interface, for ATM switch/processor). There is no need to configure ATM0/0 unless you plan to use in-band management. For DS3+T1, ATM0/1 is the default trunk port. ATM0/2 and through ATM0/9 can be used as trunk or subtending interfaces. For E1, ATM0/2 is the default trunk port. For IMA group interfaces using the DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card, one port from ATM0/ima0 through ATM0/ima3 can be the trunk port, with the other three being possible subtending interfaces.
Interfaces whose names begin with "ATM1" through "ATM6" are line card interfaces.
Ethernet0/0 is the interface for the LAN that connects the Cisco 6015 to its management system.

For dsl line card interfaces, the number before the slash indicates the slot number. The number after the slash indicates the interface or port number. For example, ATM6/4 is slot 6, port 4.
