The following sections detail the installation procedures for in a Direct Connect with a POTS splitter configuration.
For the rack to remain stable, you must install your Cisco 6100 with NI-2 system from the bottom to the top of the rack. Before you install any of the chassis, measure the total rack space required to install your system. The required rack space depends on the number of Cisco 6100 chassis, fan trays, and POTS splitters you plan to use. The number of chassis and required fan trays increase if you plan to install a subtended network.
You can install a combination of the Cisco 6100 system components in a 7-foot rack:
|
Note See "Preparing for Installation" for the calculation tables that are necessary to plan total rack space for your Cisco 6100 with NI-2 system configuration. |
The Cisco 6100 with NI-2 system fits in a 23-inch wide rack. See Table 2-2 for individual rack space requirements. Allow 1 rack unit (RU) of space between the fan tray and the POTS splitter. This space allows for the intake plenum and for cabling back to front for the NI-2 card.
|
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. |

Note Blank faceplates should occupy any empty slots in the Cisco 6100. The blank faceplate installation is similar to the line card installation. |
|
Caution Proper ESD protection is required each time you handle Cisco DSLAM 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 each time they are removed from the chassis. |
If the Cisco 6100 ships without any line cards installed in the chassis, install the Cisco 6100 with NI-2 system cards in the following order to verify the power connection.
|
Caution Installing the cards in the chassis with the power leads reversed can damage the cards. |
|
Warning The power supply circuitry for the Cisco DSLAM equipment can constitute an energy hazard. Before you install or replace the equipment, remove all jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects can come into contact with exposed power supply wiring or circuitry inside the DSLAM equipment. This could cause the metal objects to heat up and cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the equipment. |
|
Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a card or a fan module. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard. |
|
Note All cards must be fully seated in the chassis. A push on the faceplate of each card is required for the card to be fully seated. |
To install all of the cards, complete the following steps. It is important that you accomplish each step completely before moving on to the next step.
a. Vertically align the line card edge with the guides at the top and bottom of slot 1 on the Cisco 6100.
b. Lift up on the ejector tab and gently apply pressure to the bottom of the faceplate while pushing the line card into the slot.
c. Push on the faceplate of each line card to fully seat the line card.
d. Press down on the ejector tab to secure the line card and connect it to the backplane.
Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the locking tab so that it overlaps the 4xflexi to prevent inadvertent dislodging. Figure 3-24 shows how to position the locking tab.
The 4xflexis are installed in slots 1 through 8, 13 through 28, and 31 through 38.
Step 2 Install the POTS splitter cards in the Cisco 6120.
a. Vertically align the card edge with the guides at the top and bottom of slot 1 on the Cisco 6120.
b. Lift up on the ejector tab and gently apply pressure to the bottom of the faceplate while pushing the card into the slot.
c. Push on the faceplate of each card to fully seat the card.
d. Press down on the ejector tab to secure the card and connect it to the backplane.
e. Install the remaining POTS cards using the same procedure.
The POTS cards are installed in slots 1 through 10 and 13 through 22 of the Cisco 6120.
|
Note Refer to the appropriate vendor documentation for POTS splitter card installation procedures for the third-party POTS splitter. |
Step 3 Verify that the STATUS LEDs on all line cards are solid green (where applicable).
This self-test procedure takes several minutes. If the STATUS LEDs are not green after the self-test, see "Troubleshooting," for troubleshooting procedures.
Step 4 Perform a software update if the STATUS LEDs on the 4xflexis are flashing.
Refer to the Configuration Guide for Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2 for software upgrade procedures.

This section provides installation procedures for the DS3 and OC-3c network connections.
Complete the following steps to connect the DS3/2DS3 NI-2 card to the network:
The DS3/2DS3 NI-2 card connections are on the system I/O card, which is located on the backplane of the Cisco 6100 chassis. These connections attach to the ATM switch. Two 75-ohm DS3 Bayonet-Neill-Concelman (BNC) connectors are provided for DS3 transmit (J14) and receive (J12). See Figure 3-29 for the location of the DS3 BNC connectors.
Step 2 Attach one end of a coaxial cable (type 734A, type 735A, or equivalent) to the transmit DS3 BNC connector (J14) for the system I/O card on the chassis backplane.
Step 3 Attach the end of the cable that you used in Step 2, which originates at the transmit DS3 BNC connector, to the ATM switch.
Step 4 Attach one end of a coaxial cable (type 734A, type 735A, or equivalent) to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J12) for the system I/O card on the Cisco 6100 backplane.
Step 5 Attach the end of the cable that you used in Step 4, which originates at the receive DS3 BNC connector, to the ATM switch.
Complete the following steps to connect the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card to the network:
|
Warning Do not stare into the beam or view it directly with optical instruments. |
Step 2 Pull the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card transmit and receive fiber-optic cables from the ATM switch through the 1 RU of space between the fan tray and the POTS splitter.
Step 3 Attach the receive cable from the ATM switch to the transmit connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card (trunk 1 interface connector TX). See Figure 3-30 for the OC-3c network interface connection location.
The transmit connector is the one closest to the top of the faceplate. The receive connector is closest to the bottom of the faceplate. The connector IDs are silkscreened inside the inset.
Step 4 Attach the transmit cable from the ATM switch to the receive connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card (trunk 1 interface connector RX). See Figure 3-30 for the OC-3c network interface connection location.
Step 5 Allow enough slack in the cable so that the fan tray can be opened and the fans can be maintained.
Step 6 Coil the fiber loosely within the 1 RU of space to take out slack.
If you are installing a subtended network with subtended node chassis to a subtending host chassis, complete the steps in the following sections. The following sections provide installation procedures for the DS3 and OC-3c subtended network configuration.
If you are not installing a subtended network, go to the "Connect the Software Management System to the NI-2 Card" section.
|
Note For information on a subtended network configuration, see the "Subtended Network Configuration" section on. |
Coaxial connections for DS3 cabling are located on the system I/O card. The transmit and receive DS3 BNC connectors on the subtending host chassis system I/O card are connected to the transmit and receive DS3 BNC connectors on the subtended node chassis system I/O card.
|
Note The system I/O card BNC cables are not provided by Cisco. |
Complete the following steps to cable the system I/O card for subtending:
Step 2 On the first subtended node chassis backplane, attach the end of the BNC cable used in Step 1 to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J12) on the system I/O card.
Step 3 On the subtending host chassis backplane, attach one end of a BNC cable to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J8) on the system I/O card.
Step 4 On the first subtended node chassis backplane, attach the end of the BNC cable used in Step 3 to the transmit DS3 BNC connector (J14) on the system I/O card.
Step 5 On the subtending host chassis backplane, attach one end of a BNC cable to the transmit DS3 BNC connector (J6) on the system I/O card.
Step 6 On the second subtended node chassis backplane, attach the end of the BNC cable used in Step 5 to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J12) on the system I/O card.
Step 7 On the subtending host chassis backplane, attach one end of a BNC cable to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J4) on the system I/O card.
Step 8 On the second subtended node chassis backplane, attach the end of the BNC cable used in Step 7 to the transmit DS3 BNC connector (J14) on the system I/O card.
Figure 3-31 shows the cabling for a DS3 subtending network configuration.
For OC-3c subtending, the connections are made from the front of the subtending host chassis and the subtended node chassis. To cable the Cisco 6100 with NI-2 system for OC-3c subtending, complete the following steps:
Step 2 Attach an OC-3c fiber-optic cable to the transmit (TX) subtend 2 interface connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card in the subtending host chassis.
Step 3 Attach the other end of the cable that you used in Step 2 to the receive (RX) trunk 1 interface connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card in the subtended node chassis.
Step 4 Attach an OC-3c fiber-optic cable to the receive (RX) subtend 2 interface connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card in the subtending host chassis.
Step 5 Attach the other end of the cable that you used in Step 4 to the transmit (TX) trunk 1 interface connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card in the subtended node chassis.
Figure 3-32 shows the subtending connections between two Cisco 6100 with NI-2 system chassis.
Connect both the 10BaseT RJ-45 port on the NI-2 card (ENET) and the Sun SPARCstation running the CDM management application to an Ethernet so that the Cisco 6100 and the management station can communicate. Figure 3-33 shows where to connect the Ethernet cable.
|
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. |
 |
TimeSaver Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination. |
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 3-4. Figure 3-33 shows where to connect the console cable.
|
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. |
|
Note This step is optional. |
Connect a terminal, a modem, or another serial device to the RJ-45 auxiliary port on the NI-2 card (AUX). Figure 3-33 shows where to connect the auxiliary cable.
|
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. |

TimeSaver Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination. |
Verify that the Cisco 6100 front cover is attached to the chassis and closed (see Figure 3-34).
Complete the following steps to close the optional rear cover:
Step 2 Release the latches after the rear cover is in place.
Step 3 Align the two thumbscrews that are located on the rear cover with two thumbscrew fasteners on the bracket (see Figure 3-36). Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the rear cover.
When you turn on the Cisco 6100 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:
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.
Complete these steps before you run the System Configuration Dialog:
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 6100. (This step is optional.)
When you power up a Cisco 6100 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.
An example of the use of each option follows the "Interface Numbering" section. In each example, an arrow marks the point in the dialog where basic management setup and extended setup diverge.
The System Configuration Dialog and the command line interface use the following interface numbering scheme:
This is the basic management setup example:
This is the extended setup example:
You have completed the installation process for the Cisco 6100.
