The installation tasks introduced here are explained in detail in subsequent chapters.
For a description of the commands used to initially set up a BPX switch, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference and Cisco WAN Switching SuperUser Command Reference.
For additional information on network management and the graphical user interface recommended for configuring and provisioning, refer to the Cisco WAN Manager User's Guide.

Installation Sequence Flow
Here is the sequence of operations that you should follow during the installation of the BPX switch:
• "Preliminary Steps Before Installing": Follow these preliminary setup instructions for the mechanical installation of a BPX switch shelf. Depending on the type of rack or cabinet, the you are then directed to either:
– "Installation with Cisco Cabinets including 7000 Series Routers" with rear rail setback at 19.86 inches; or
– "Installation in Customer Cabinet" that is 19 inches wide with a rear rail setback of 30 inches.
–Otherwise, the installation is nonstandard and requires that you contact Cisco Customer Service.
The BPX switch shelves are either AC or DC powered. At the completion of the cabinet installation procedures, you are directed to the appropriate power setup and connection chapter:
• "Installing the DC Shelf," or
An optional cable management tray and BXM T3/E3 cable management brackets are available for use with T3/E3 BXM cards. The brackets are designed for cards set up as nonredundant (single cables rather than Y-cabling). The tray is designed primarily for use in a mid-mount open-rack configuration. Instructions for installing the optional tray are provided in:
• "Installing the T3/E3 Cable Management Tray"
The remaining installation procedures are the same for every installation. You will proceed to the initial setup and configuration procedures in:
• Chapter 13, "Installing the BPX Switch Cards"
• "Connecting Temporary Terminal and Attaching Peripherals"
Following the completion of these installation procedures, you should set up a network management workstation so that you can use the CiscoView and Cisco WAN Manager graphical user interfaces to provision the BPX equipment with network connections.
Overview and network configuration procedures are in Part 3, "Initial Configuration and Network Management".
When you have connected and configured the network management terminal and software, you are ready to configure the BPX switch. Configuration procedures are provided in Part 4, "Configuring Connections".
Lines, Trunks, and Connection Configuration
In many cases, you can add and configure lines and trunks by using the Cisco WAN Manager, which provides a graphical interface that is most convenient for configuring connections. In certain other cases, however (and particularly during the initial setup before you have configured network management) you will need to use the command line interface (CLI).
For example, to add an ATM connection, you might use the following CLI command:
addcon local_addr node remote_addr traffic type ...extended parameters
Other initial configuration must be performed by using the command line interface:
•Configure node name
•Configure time zone
•Configure date and time
•Configure node number
For additional information about the CLI and complete details on all its commands, refer to the
Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference.
