4.2 Installation Procedures

The following sections detail the installation procedures for a Cisco 6015 without 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.

4.2.1 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 and AC/DC converters 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 these 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 single-pair high-speed digital subscriber line, also known as symmetric high bit-rate digital subscriber loop (G.SHDSL) line cards (8xG.SHDSLs), the maximum is six chassis per rack (include subtending host and subtended node chassis).

AC/DC converter and converter tray—Optional.

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.

4.2.2 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, at the bottom of the rack.

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.

Figure 4-1 shows the screw locations on the tray.

Figure 4-1 Screw Locations for the AC/DC Converter Tray

4.2.3 Install the Cisco 6015 Chassis

Complete the following steps to install the Cisco 6015 chassis:

Warning Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies or on the interface modules. These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.

Note The Cisco 6015 chassis ships with the cards and modules installed. To prevent damage, ensure that the screws on each card and module are tightened so that the cards do not fall out of the chassis during installation.

Step 1 Position one Cisco 6015, which occupies 3 RUs of space, above the AC/DC converter. If you have an AC/DC converter installed, the bottom of the Cisco 6015 chassis should be flush with the top of the AC/DC converter.

Step 2 Use four mounting screws and a Phillips-head screwdriver to attach the extenders to the sides of the chassis if you are installing the system in a 23-inch rack, as shown in Figure 4-2.

Figure 4-2 Extender Installation on the Cisco 6015

Step 3 Use four mounting screws and a Phillips-head screwdriver to bolt the Cisco 6015 in the rack.

Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for each Cisco 6015, as necessary.

See Figure 1-2 for the correct placement of the Cisco 6015.

4.2.4 Install Blank Faceplates

Blank faceplates should occupy any empty line card slots in the Cisco 6015 chassis. Blank faceplate installation is similar to line card installation.

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.

Complete the following steps to install blank faceplates in any empty line card slots in the Cisco 6015:

Step 1 Connect a grounding strap to an ESD grounding jack on the Cisco 6015. See the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section for ESD grounding jack locations on the Cisco 6015 system.

Step 2 Horizontally align the blank faceplate edge with the guides at the left and right of the slot.

Step 3 Lift out on the ejector tab and gently apply pressure to the faceplate while pushing the blank faceplate into the slot.

Step 4 Push on the faceplate to fully seat the blank faceplate.

Step 5 Press down on the ejector tab to secure the faceplate.

4.2.5 Ground the Cisco 6015

During the system installation, complete the following steps to connect the grounding lug on the Cisco 6015 directly to the rack:

Warning When you are installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

Step 1 Remove all paint or oxidation from the rack at the point of the grounding connection.

Step 2 Measure enough wire to connect the Cisco 6015 to the rack. See Table 2-6 for wire requirements.

Tip Make sure that your wire is only as long as is needed to make the connection.

Step 3 Cut the ends of the ground wire so that the ends are straight, not slanted.

Step 4 Measure 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) up from the end of the ground wire and place a mark at that point. This is the wire end that will be connected to the Cisco 6015.

Step 5 Use a wire stripper to remove 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of the covering from the end of the wire. Trim the end of the covering so that it is straight, not slanted, as shown in Figure 4-3.

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.

4.2.15 Connect the Ethernet to the Management Network

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

Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL 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 4-17 shows where to connect the Ethernet cable.

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

Figure 4-17 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).

4.2.16 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 that are shown in Table 4-2. Figure 4-17 shows where to connect the console cable. See Table 2-6 for cable requirements.

Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are SELV circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the TNV circuits.

Table 4-2 Terminal Settings

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

4.2.17 Connect the Auxiliary Port

Connect a terminal, a modem, or another serial device to the auxiliary port on the NI-2 card (AUX). Figure 4-17 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.

4.2.18 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

4.2.18.1 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.)

4.2.18.2 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.

4.2.18.2.1 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.
