Figure 1-2: MGX 8240 Physical Dimensions


The MGX 8240 should be mounted in a standard 23-inch relay rack. Two MGX 8240 systems can fit in a single rack.

Leave space in front of and behind the MGX 8240 for installation, maintenance, and wiring. You will need at least 2.5 ft (0.75 m) clearance at the front of the rack and at least 2.0 ft (0.60 m) clearance at the rear of the rack.

The unit vents vertically. Air is pulled in from the front and sides, and exits on the top and sides. Leave at least 5 ft between the top of the MGX 8240 and the shelf above it. The air filter fits at an angle in the lower section of the chassis (see Figure 1-3).


Figure 1-3: Air Flow Diagram


Site Requirements

Certain site requirements (temperature and humidity, altitude, system grounding, and ESD/EMI precautions) must be met to ensure that the MGX 8240 unit functions well.

Temperature, Humidity, and Altitude

The MGX 8240 is intended for indoor use.Table 1-2 lists the necessary shipping, storage, and operating temperatures

0 to 40 degrees C (32 to 104 degrees F)

Relative humidity

5% to 90% non-condensing

Note: When the MGX 8240 is mounted with the Common Interface Module, the humidity must stay between 20% and 80%.

Altitude

Between 60 m (200 ft) and 4000 m (13,000 ft) above sea level

Grounding

The MGX 8240 supports chassis ground (protective earth ground) for optimum performance as well as personal safety. All accessible surfaces that may become energized under a fault condition are connected to the ground.

Chassis ground points must be connected to the appropriate building ground points according to local wiring practices. Ground wires require a minimum diameter of 1.85 mm or 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge). If local codes allow grounding to the equipment rack only, ground wires are not required; use ground straps.

ESD/EMI Precautions


Caution   Before attempting to handle any electronic parts, put on an antistatic wrist strap (supplied) and connect it to the grounded equipment. The MGX 8240 has electro-static discharge (ESD) jacks in front and back. On the front panel, the ESD jack is at the left near the bottom of the far left PSM. On the back panel, the ESD jack is at the left near the bottom of the far left I/O Module.

The MGX 8240 has been tested against all relevant standards of electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, Cisco recommends that users avoid placing the rack close to very strong EMI sources such as elevators, air-conditioners, photocopiers, and fax machines.

Required Tools and Equipment

To install the MGX 8240, you will need the following:


Caution   An antistatic wrist strap must be worn during installation to prevent electrostatic damage to the MGX 8240.


Caution   Three people are needed to lift the chassis. If three people are not available, use a hand lift.

Unpacking and Checking

Unpack the box(es) and check contents against the shipping list (see Appendix B). Save the packaging.

If the box has been damaged or if some parts are missing or defective, call 800-553-2447 and the package carrier to report the damage. Obtain a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number and include the RMA number on the label. Return the unit in original packaging.

Preparing the System

The following sections describe the procedures required to mount the MGX 8240 and bring it on line.

Mounting an MGX 8240


Caution   Before attempting to handle electronic parts, put on a grounded antistatic wrist strap.


Step 1   Use the bolt-positioning template provided by Cisco to plan position of bolts. You may find it helpful to install some bolts from the back to the front before lifting the chassis into place.

Position the MGX 8240 at the top of the equipment rack or otherwise as planned by engineers. Cisco recommends that installers have three people available to lift the chassis, and have a fourth person to bolt the chassis into place. If three people are not available, use a hand lift.

Step 2   Connect the chassis ground wire to the signal ground lug on the rear of the switch.


Note   No more than two MGX 8240s can be mounted in a 7-foot rack.


Retrofitting an MGX 8240

This step is only for persons who need to retrofit the MGX 8240. If you have received the retrofit shipping kit and need to retrofit your MGX 8240 switch, use the information provided in Appendix C, "Retrofit MGX 8240 Installation Addendum."

Making Power Connections

The MGX 8240 requires -42 VDC to -56 VDC power at approximately 40 Amps for a fully loaded shelf.


Note   Make sure power is turned off.


Step 1   Connect the DC power (Cisco recommends number #6 AWG Solid Wire).

Step 2   The MGX 8240 supports dual DC feeds. Determine if you want two separate dual feeds or one.

Step 3   Connect one end from the DC power into the MGX 8240 connector block as shown below.


Figure 1-4: MGX 8240 (Rear View)



Table 1-3: Cabling for MGX 8240 on Rack

Supplies -48 VDC power to the MGX 8240

Installing IMC Card

The MGX 8240 has 15 full-size slots and 2 half-size slots. An IMC fits into each of the two half-size slots. Redundancy is optional, if you want redundancy, you may install two IMC cards (one primary and one backup).


Figure 1-5: .IMC Faceplates (Front View and Rear View)


The IMC I/O Panel has an RJ45 connector for the Shelf Ethernet Interface, an RJ11 connector for the Shelf RS232 serial interface, pin connectors for the 4 alarm relay contacts, and 2 BITS inputs.

The Redundant Switch Out LED changes from yellow to green when the IMC becomes primary, and from green to yellow when the IMC becomes secondary.

The RS232 connector is for factory use only.

The Reset button, recessed about 1.5 inches behind the faceplate, does a hard reset of the card.

The IMC takes the place of the Common Interface Module (CIM). The CIMs on older chassis are being replaced with IMCs. Release 2.2 C2X MGX 8240 chassis comes with IMC card(s) installed (one is required, two are optional for redundancy).

IMC cards are hot-swappable. Replacing a CIM unit with an IMC card requires several external changes, including changing BITS clock connections and moving Ethernet and RS232 connectors from the old CEMI/O card to the new IMCI/O card. See Figure 1-6


Figure 1-6: CEM I/O Card (Release 1)



Note   If you are changing from a CIM to an IMC card on a chassis with traffic, you will need to refer to the IMC Upgrade Procedure, available from TAC.

Whenever switching over to standby IMC, all the active telnet and ftp sessions need to be reinitialed. The current ftp session would get terminated with "netout: Socket operation on non-socket" error for ftp and all telnet sessions would hang.

FDOS on IMC Card

The IMC card requires information on the following parameters:

After FDOS, users can access the IMC card through all the same means that access the PSM cards: V-CLI, VT-100, telnet, etc. However, to do FDOS, it is necessary to use the serial port, connecting to a dumb terminal or PC.

To perform FDOS on the IMC card, follow the steps below:


Step 1   In a terminal window, at the login prompt, enter the following command:

OC3 ATM Trunk

The OC3 ATM trunk connects to ATM core switches via a fiber optics patch panel. The OC3 ATM trunks support bidirectional and unidirectional, non-revertive 1+1 Automatic Protection Switching (APS). Perform the following steps to connect the OC3 ATM trunk:


Step 1   Connect the top network OC3 connector to the primary trunk connection.

Step 2   Connect the bottom network OC3 connector to the associated backup circuit. Use the upper cable tray.


Installing PSM Modules

Perform the following steps to install the modules on the front of the chassis:


Step 1   Put the PSM into slot 2. Slide it forward until you feel a slight resistance, then put your thumbs on the thumb levers and push the module gently into place.


Warning Improper insertion of card can damage the midplane.

Step 2   Place the remaining 14 PSMs in the same manner.


Note   The FACTORY RS232 connector is for manufacturing purposes only—do not use it.

Making a Network Management Connection

The MGX 8240 is connected to the IMC IO Ethernet port.

Making External BITS Clock Source Connections

The MGX 8240 has two BITS inputs labeled Ref CLK A and Ref CLK B. Both inputs are identical; if you are installing only one BITS source, it does not matter which input you use. The connections are characterized by three wires labeled T (Tip), R (Ring), and S (Signal Ground).

The BITS Clock Source should be a DS1, B8ZS signal from Stratum 3 or higher clock source. The clock source is terminated at the unit.

Note   Figure 1-9 shows the cabling for a DS3; cabling for the OC3 differs (see Figure 1-4).

Startup

To start the MGX 8240, perform the following steps:


Step 1   Turn the power switch to the ON position.

Step 2   Verify that the Ready LED turns green after all connections are loaded (this may take up to ten minutes).


Note   If the Ready LED does not turn green after ten minutes, contact Customer Support.


Diagnostics

On power up, the PSM starts diagnostics, including register, RAM, and control (interrupts). Where appropriate, multiple functional blocks are tested, with the use of loopback functionality. The Startup BERT Loopback test follows the hardware diagnostics.

After each sub-system has been individually tested, the data paths between sub-systems are tested. After the diagnostics are completed, the PSM loads the Operating software from flash into RAM. Then the PSM reads and processes the configuration files from the Flash. By doing so, the system configures ports and makes connections. After all the configuration files are executed, the Ready LED turns green, signalling that provisioning is finished.

The internal OAM Loopback test runs continuously. If it fails, the health monitor reboots the system.

First Day of Service

Perform First Day of Service (FDOS) on the MGX 8240 to verify that the switch is ready to be managed by the Network Management System.

Before starting FDOS, you need the following:

Making an RS232 Terminal Connection

Perform the following steps to make an RS232 terminal connection:


Step 1   Use the RS232 DCE RJ45 connector to connect the cable between the VT-100 terminal and MGX 8240.

Step 2   Configure terminal device for VT-100 with a baud rate of 9600 (8, N, 1).

Step 3   Configure the Ethernet Connector Signal list (RJ45 connector).


Table 1-5 and Table 1-6 show the Ethernet and RS232 connector signal lists.

Craft Interface

The Craft Interface/Console Management Diagnostic Resource (CMDR or Commander) is the menu-based tool available to set up FDOS. The menu-based tool is easily invoked when a user logs in through the serial port into the switch. CMDR is menu based and several menus are available.

To set up the Craft Interface/CMDR, connect your VT-100 terminal (or laptop) via the RS232c cable to the serial port on the module.

To begin FDOS, perform the following steps:


Step 1   Enter CMDR and press <Enter>.

Step 2   Enter your username and password on the Login menu (Default is ultimate/ultimate; sysadmin/sysadmin may also work).

Figure 1-10 shows the Login procedure.


Figure 1-10: Login Menu


Step 3   To display the menu mode, enter menu.

The Main menu displays (see Figure 1-11).

Step 4   Use the following keys to navigate through the screens:


FDOS on PSM Cards in Chassis with the CIM

The instructions below are to be followed only on a chassis that has the CIM. For a chassis using the IMC card, go to FDOS on PSM Cards in Chassis Using IMC.

As each card is installed, you need to set the following values:

Set the node IP address by using the Node Setup menu. Perform the following steps:


Step 1   Move the cursor to Node Setup and press <Enter>. The Node Setup menu displays.

Step 2   To change the Node IP address, select Node Configuration for the Node Configuration Window (see Figure 1-12).


Figure 1-12: Node Configuration Menu Window


Step 3   Position the cursor at the System Location blank and enter the location.

Step 4   Position the cursor at the System Name blank and enter the name.

Step 5   Position the cursor at the IP address and enter the new IP address over the old one.


Note   If you do not use the default IP address and set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, redundancy will not work.

Step 6   Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0.

Step 7   Use Default Gateway as the IP address of the router to direct all external IP packets towards.

Step 8   After entering all of the above information, press <F1> to update the configuration information in memory. For this information to take effect, the node requires a reboot (this is done in Step 16).

Step 9   At the power restart, the CMDR dialog box prompts you to reboot the system. Enter No.

Step 10   To program the MGX 8240 node to send traps to the management station, perform the following steps:
