Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router


The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router is configured to your order and ready for installation when it arrives. After you install the system, you may have to perform specific maintenance procedures to ensure the router is operating properly. These procedures can include routine maintenance such as replacing the filter, upgrading system components, or replacing components with field replaceable units (FRUs).

This chapter contains the information necessary to perform the following maintenance operations for the Cisco uBR10012 router:

Tip Before beginning any FRU procedure, be sure you are familiar with the safety precautions outlined in Chapter 2, "Preparing for Installation."



Note Detailed, up-to-date instructions are also shipped with all FRUs and upgrade kits.


System components fall into two categories: hot-swappable components that do not require you to power off the system before replacing them, and those components that do require you to power off the system before you replace them. For example, all line cards are hot-swappable and can be replaced without powering off the system, but you must power off the system before replacing a single power entry module (PEM) or a single performance routing engine (PRE).


Caution Cisco recommends that you create a duplicate PC media card that contains the current boot software image and the current software configuration. You can use the backup card to quickly recover from a major system failure. You can also use a backup card to load a new PRE module and avoid the time-consuming reconfiguration process. For instructions to create a backup PC media card, refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Router Software Configuration Guide.

Shutting Down the System

Although most components in the Cisco uBR10012 router are hot-swappable, you may have to shut down the system under certain circumstances. Use the following procedure to shut down the system.


Step 1 Notify appropriate personnel that you plan to shut down the system and that the shutdown results in total loss of service. Appropriate personnel includes the regional alarm or network monitoring center, central office personnel, and key customers.

Step 2 Before you shut down the router, use the copy command to save any configuration changes to NVRAM, and also, if you wish, to a PC media card. Refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Software Configuration Guide for instructions (using the copy command) at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/cable/ubr10k/index.htm

Step 3 Power down the system by setting the power switch on all PEMs to the OFF (0) position.

Step 4 If you are also using the optional AC-input power shelf, also disconnect the AC power cord for each of the AC-input power modules from the power outlet.



Warning This unit has more than one power supply connection; all connections must be removed completely to completely remove power from the unit. Statement 102


Required Maintenance Tools

The only tools required to perform the maintenance procedures described in this chapter are:

A Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

A flat-blade screwdriver

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

Removing and Replacing the Front Cover

The Cisco uBR10012 router is equipped with a plastic front cover that ensures proper airflow through the system and protects the cables and connectors from damage. The following procedures describe how to remove and replace the front cover.

Removing the Front Cover

Use the following procedure to remove the front cover from the chassis.


Step 1 Remove the cover by lifting it up slightly and then pulling it toward you (see Figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1 Removing the Front Cover


Replacing the Front Cover

Use the following procedure to replace the front cover on the chassis.


Step 1 Slide the cover onto the four corner posts of the chassis and then push down so that the posts are seated in the grooves above the cover holes (see Figure 5-2).

Figure 5-2 Attaching the Cover to the Chassis


Replacing the Air Filter

If the air filter is dirty or clogged, the fan assembly module could have a problem providing sufficient cooling airflow throughout the chassis, causing the system to overheat. To prevent a potential overheating problem, you should replace the air filter approximately every 6 to 12 months, depending on how clean and dust-free your operating environment is normally. In certain environments where the air quality is poor, you may have to replace the filter more frequently.


Note The product order number for a replacement air filter is UBR10-FAN-FILTER=.


Use the following procedure to replace the air filter:


Step 1 Remove the front cover (see "Removing the Front Cover").

Step 2 Slide the air filter out of its slot.

Step 3 Discard the old filter.

Figure 5-3 Removing and Inserting the Air Filter

Step 4 Position the new air filter above the tabs on the inside of the bezel and slide it down into the slot. When fully inserted, it should appear as shown in Figure 5-4.

Figure 5-4 Air Filter Inserted into the Front Cover

Step 5 Replace the front cover (see "Replacing the Front Cover").


Removing and Replacing the Fan Assembly Module

The fan assembly module does not need to be replaced when it is operating normally. However, if either of the two failure LEDs come on, the fan assembly module should be replaced:

SINGLE FAN FAILURE—This yellow LED indicates that one of the four fans in the module has failed. The module can still provide enough cooling to safely operate the Cisco uBR10012 chassis, but it might begin operating the fans in its high-speed mode to do so. If this LED lights, the fan assembly module should be replaced as soon as is conveniently possible.

MULTIPLE FAN FAILURE—This yellow LED indicates that two or more fans in the module have failed, and that the module is no longer able to consistently cool the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. To prevent overheating the chassis and possible damage to the line cards and other modules, the fan assembly module should be replaced immediately.

If a failure LED lights, use the following procedure to remove and reinsert the fan assembly module. If the failure LED is still on, use the following procedure to replace the fan assembly module. The fan assembly module supports hot-swapping and can be replaced without interrupting system operation.


Note The product order number for a replacement fan assembly is UBR10-FAN-ASSY=.



Caution The Cisco uBR10012 chassis should not be run without a working fan assembly module for more than three minutes. To prevent the possibility of the system overheating, be sure that the replacement fan assembly module is out of its box and packaging, so it is ready to install as soon as the defective module is removed.


Step 1 Remove the front cover (see "Removing the Front Cover").

Step 2 Loosen the captive screws on each side of the fan assembly module and use two hands to pull the module out of the chassis (see Figure 5-5).

Figure 5-5 Removing the Fan Assembly Module


Caution The fan assembly module weighs approximately 30 pounds. Use one hand to pull the fan assembly module using its handle and position the other hand underneath the module to support it, so that it does not suddenly swing down when it clears the chassis.

Step 3 Using two hands, align the new fan assembly module in the slot on the chassis and push it back firmly, making sure it securely connects to the backplane.

Step 4 Verify that the FANS OK LED lights (green). If the FANS OK LED does not light or if either fan failure LED lights (yellow), try reseating the fan assembly module.

Step 5 Tighten the captive screws on each side of the fan assembly module.

Step 6 Replace the front cover (see "Replacing the Front Cover").


Removing and Replacing DC Power Entry Modules

The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with two DC power entry modules (PEM) that provide a redundant power supply to the system. One DC PEM can provide sufficient power for a fully configured chassis, so that if one DC PEM fails, the other automatically begins providing power for the entire system. However, the system should not be run for an extended period time with only one DC PEM. If a DC PEM fails, install a replacement DC PEM as soon as possible.


Note You do not need to shut down the Cisco uBR10012 router to replace a redundant DC PEM. And, if you are replacing both DC PEMs, you can replace one, bring it online, and then replace the other one to avoid shutting down the entire system.



Note The product order number for a replacement DC PEM is UBR10-PWR-DC=.


The DC PEM is operating correctly when its POWER LED lights (green). Replace a DC PEM if either of the PEM failure LEDs light (yellow):

MISWIRE—This LED indicates that the wires connecting the PEM to DC power source were wired incorrectly. The DC PEM therefore needs to be removed so that the wiring can be corrected. After the wiring has been corrected, the same DC PEM can be reinserted. See "Connecting Alarm Indicators" section for more information.

FAULT—This LED indicates that the DC power source is supplying power but that the DC PEM is not providing power to the system.ced.


Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. Statement 7


Removing the DC PEM

Do not use this procedure if both DC PEMs have failed; instead, use the next procedure, Replacing Both DC PEMs.


Step 1 Remove the front cover (see "Removing the Front Cover").

Step 2 If the FAULT LED light in on (yellow):

a. Flip the power switch on the DC PEM off and then on.

b. If this does not turn off the FAULT LED and turn on the POWER LED, verify that the DC PEM is fully inserted into the power bay and that its captive screws have been tightened.

If these steps do not correct the problem, the DC PEM must be replaced.

Step 3 Turn off the DC PEM, the switch is in the off (0) position (see Figure 5-6).


Caution Do not power off both DC PEMs, or the system shuts down and all data traffic stops. Turn off only the DC PEM you are replacing.

Step 4 (Optional) Turn off the DC power source that is providing power for this DC PEM. All LEDs on the DC PEM should turn off. (This step is required only if you need to rewire the terminal block for this PEM, as described in step 6.)


Tip Separate DC power sources should be used for each DC PEM. This allows you to turn off the power source for the DC PEM being replaced without affecting the power source for the online DC PEM.


Figure 5-6 Turning a DC PEM Off

Step 5 Loosen the captive screws on the DC PEM you are removing and pull the PEM from the chassis using the handles on the faceplate (see Figure 5-7). Set the DC PEM aside.

Step 6 If the MISWIRE LED indicated that the DC power source is miswired,

a. Verify that the DC power source has been turned off.

b. Then verify that the wires leading to the DC power source are connected as follows:

The cable providing the -48/-60 VDC should be connected to the bottom terminal on the DC terminal block. This cable is typically red.

The cable providing the return path should be connected to the top terminal on the DC terminal block. This cable is typically black.

Step 7 If the wires were reversed when connected, switch them so that they provide the power signals as listed above (see Figure 5-8).


Warning Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025


Figure 5-7 Removing a DC PEM

Figure 5-8 DC Power Connection


Replacing the DC PEM


Step 1 Verify that the power switch on the replacement DC PEM is in the off position (see Figure 5-6).


Tip It is a good idea to tape the power switch in the off ( O ) position to keep from accidentally turning the PEM on.


Step 2 Position the replacement DC PEM in the power bay and push it forward, verifying that it goes all the way in and makes a secure connection with the backplane. Tighten the captive screws (see Figure 5-9).

Figure 5-9 Installing a DC PEM

Step 3 If necessary, turn on the DC power source that is providing power for this DC PEM. The FAULT LED on the replacement DC PEM lights (yellow) to indicate that the DC PEM is receiving power from the power source but is not yet supplying power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

Step 4 After installing the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle.

Step 5 Push up the power switch on the replacement DC PEM to the on (|) position (see Figure 5-10).


Note When you turn the power switch on, the FAULT LED on the DC PEM turns off and the POWER LED lights (green).


Figure 5-10 Setting the DC Power Switch to the On Position

Step 6 Replace the front cover (see "Replacing the Front Cover").


Replacing Both DC PEMs

Use the following procedure to replace (or reinstall) both DC PEMs. This typically is done only in the following situations:

The failure LEDs (MISWIRE or FAULT) on both DC PEMs are lighted, indicating a problem with either the DC power source or the DC PEMs.

A single DC power source is currently being used for both DC PEMs, and you want to use a separate DC power source for each DC PEM (this is the recommended configuration).


Caution This procedure requires shutting down the Cisco uBR10012 router and removing all power to the system. To avoid this, Cisco recommends replacing each DC PEM one at a time, using the instructions given in the "Removing and Replacing DC Power Entry Modules" section.


Step 1 Remove the front cover (refer to "Removing the Front Cover" section).

Step 2 Shut down the system (refer to "Shutting Down the System" section).

Step 3 Turn the power switch on each DC PEM to the OFF (0) position (see Figure 5-11).

Figure 5-11 Turning Off the DC PEM

Step 4 Turn off the DC power source that is providing power for each DC PEM. All LEDs on the DC PEM should turn off.


Tip Separate DC power sources should be used for each DC PEM. This allows you to turn off the power source for one DC PEM without affecting the power source for the online DC PEM.



Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. Statement 7


Step 5 Loosen the captive screws on each DC PEM and pull each DC PEM from the chassis using the handle on the faceplate (see Figure 5-12). Set the two DC PEMs aside.

Figure 5-12 Removing a DC PEM

Step 6 If the MISWIRE LED indicated that the DC power source is miswired verify that the wires leading to the DC power source are connected as follows:

The cable providing the -48/-60 VDC should be connected to the bottom terminal on the DC terminal block. This cable is typically red.

The cable providing the return path (ground) should be connected to the top terminal on the DC terminal block. This cable is typically black.

Figure 5-13 DC Power Connection Location


Warning Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025


Step 7 Verify that the power switch on each replacement DC PEM is in the off position (see Figure 5-6).

Step 8 Position the first replacement DC PEM in the power bay and push it forward, verifying that it goes all the way in and makes a secure connection with the backplane. Tighten the captive screws (see Figure 5-14).

Step 9 Position the second replacement DC PEM in the power bay and push it forward, verifying that it goes all the way in and makes a secure connection with the backplane (see Figure 5-14).

Step 10 Tighten the captive screws.


Caution Although one DC PEM can supply sufficient power for a fully configured chassis, the Cisco uBR10012 router must be run only with two DC PEMs installed because this provides redundant power support, allows for proper cooling, and prevents inadvertent contact with hazardous circuits.

Figure 5-14 Installing a DC PEM

Step 11 Turn on the DC power sources that are providing power for the DC PEMs. The FAULT LED on each replacement DC PEM lights (yellow) to indicate that the DC PEM is receiving power from the power source but is not yet supplying power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

Step 12 Push up the power switch on each replacement DC PEM to the on (|) position (see Figure 5-10). When you turn on the power switch on each DC PEM, its FAULT LED turns off and the POWER LED lights (green).

Step 13 Replace the front cover (see the "Replacing the Front Cover" section).


Connecting Alarm Indicators

The Cisco uBR10012 router provides relay contacts for optional (customer-supplied) audible or visual alarm indicators. Relay contacts are provided for three levels of severity:

Minor—This is an informational alarm and does not affect the system operation.

Major—A condition that affects system operation and should be investigated as soon as possible.

Critical—A condition that affects system operation and requires immediate attention.

If you did not connect the alarm indicators when you originally installed the Cisco uBR10012 chassis, use the following procedure to connect an alarm indicator to the system. For safety and convenience reasons, you need to remove power from the DC PEM on the right side (DC PEM "B") and remove that DC PEM for easier access to the alarm indicators terminal block.

Removing the PEM from the Chassis


Step 1 Remove the front cover (see "Removing the Front Cover" section).

Step 2 Turn the power switch on the second DC PEM (the DC PEM on the right side, as you face the chassis) to the off (0) position (see Figure 5-15).


Caution Do not turn off the first DC PEM or turn off its DC power source. Otherwise, the system will immediately shut down.

Figure 5-15 Turning the Second DC PEM Off

Step 3 Turn off the DC power source that is providing power for the second DC PEM.


Note All LEDs on the DC PEM should turn off.



Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. Statement 7


Step 4 Loosen the captive screws on the DC PEM. Pull the DC PEM from the chassis using the handle on the faceplate (see Figure 5-12). Set the DC PEM aside.


Attaching the Alarm Wires

For each alarm indicator being connected (minor, major, or critical), use two wires that are long enough to reach between the Cisco uBR10012 chassis and the alarm indicator equipment. Use the gauge of wire required by the audible or visual alarm indicator equipment you are using (14 AWG maximum gauge).


Warning Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025



Caution The alarm contacts on the Cisco uBR10012 router are only relays and do not provide any power from the unit. These relays are rated for 60 VDC, 1 A maximum—ensure that the connected alarm equipment does not exceed these voltage and current ratings.


Step 1 For each pair of wires, strip not more than 0.3 inches (8 mm) of insulation off of the ends of each wire (see Figure 5-16).

Figure 5-16 Stripping Insulation

Step 2 Connect one end of each pair of alarm indicator wires to the alarm terminal block as follows:

a. Connect one lead to the common (COM) terminal.

b. If you are wiring the router in series with other equipment for the alarm indicators, wire the other lead to the normally closed (NC) terminal.

c. If you are wiring the router in parallel with other equipment for the alarm indicators, wire the other lead to the normally open (NO) terminal.

Figure 5-17 shows the wiring configuration for normally open (NO) alarm relays.

Step 3 Connect the other end of this pair of alarm indicator wires to the appropriate connectors on the alarm indicator equipment. Route these cables through the square hole on the bottom right side of the chassis, as you face the front of the chassis.

Step 4 Repeat steps through 3 for the remaining alarm indicators.

Step 5 Secure the cabling to the chassis by feeding a tie wrap through one of the round holes next to the large hole on the side of the chassis. Then use the tie wrap to bind the cables to the chassis.

Figure 5-17 Alarm Terminal Block Connections


Installing the PEM in the Chassis


Step 1 Position the DC PEM in the power bay and push it forward, verifying that it goes all the way in and makes a secure connection with the backplane (see Figure 5-14).

Step 2 Tighten the captive screws on the DC PEM to lock it into the chassis.

Step 3 Turn on the DC power source that are providing power for DC PEM.


Tip The FAULT LED on each replacement DC PEM lights (yellow) to indicate that the DC PEM is receiving power from the power source but that it is not yet supplying power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.


Step 4 Push up the power switch on each DC PEM to the on (|) position (see Figure 5-10).

Step 5 When you turn on the power switch on each DC PEM, its FAULT LED turns off and the POWER LED lights (green).

Step 6 Replace the front cover (see the "Replacing the Front Cover" section).


Removing and Replacing AC PEM Modules

The Cisco uBR10012 router ships with two AC power entry modules (PEMs). In this redundant system, (2 power supplies), one AC PEM provides sufficient power for a fully configured chassis. If one AC PEM fails, the other automatically begins providing power for the entire router, without impacting system operations. However, even though one AC PEM provides sufficient power for a fully configured Cisco uBR10012 chassis, the system should not be run for extended periods of time with only one AC PEM. Always install the replacement AC PEM as soon as possible and order a spare for backup.


Note The product order number for a replacement AC PEM is UBR10-PWR-AC=.



Caution For proper airflow, cooling, and safety, do not remove the failed unit until the replacement unit is available for installation.


Caution The Cisco uBR10012 router supports using either the AC PEM or the DC PEM, but it does not support mixing AC and DC PEMs. Both PEMs must be either AC PEMs or DC PEMs.

The AC PEMs use standard 200-240 VAC (50/60 Hz) input power obtained through power receptacles on the front panel of each PEM. The two AC PEMs convert the AC power to provide filtered, redundant, and load shared DC power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.


Caution The AC PEMs cannot be used with a 100-120 VAC input power source.


Tip For fully redundant power protection, use either an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a separate AC-input power source for each AC PEM.



Note You should be using Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)BC1a, or a later release when using the AC PEM. If using an earlier release, the show environment command will not correctly identify the AC PEM's error messages.



Note You do not need to shut down the Cisco uBR10012 router to replace a redundant AC PEM. If you are replacing both AC PEMs, you can replace one, bring it online, and then replace the other one to avoid shutting down the system.


Replacing a Redundant AC PEM

Follow this procedure to replace a redundant AC PEM, which is typically needed when the FAULT LED is on and the troubleshooting steps in the "Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem" section on page 4-7 do not correct the problem.


Tip If you want to replace both AC PEMs without shutting down the router, repeat this procedure for each AC PEM, one at a time. Do not use this procedure if both AC PEMs have failed; instead, use the procedure in the "Replacing Both DC PEMs" section.



Step 1 Remove the front cover by lifting it up slightly and then pulling it toward you.

Step 2 Turn off the AC PEM you are replacing by pushing down the power switch to the standby position (see Figure 5-18).

Figure 5-18 Turning an AC PEM Off


Caution Do not power off both AC PEMs, or the system shuts down and all data traffic stops. Power off only the AC PEM you are replacing.

Step 3 Unplug the AC-input power cable from the power plug on the front panel of the AC PEM. For safety, also unplug the other end of the power cable from the AC-input power source.


Tip For true redundant power protection, ensure that you are using a separate AC-input power source for each AC PEM.


Step 4 Use the screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the AC PEM you are removing. Then pull the PEM from the chassis by using the handle on the faceplate (see Figure 5-19). Set the AC PEM aside.

Figure 5-19 Removing the AC PEM

Step 5 Verify that the power switch on the replacement AC PEM is in the standby position (see Figure 5-18).

Figure 5-20 Installing the AC PEM

Step 6 Position the replacement AC PEM in the power bay and push it forward, verifying that it goes all the way in and makes a secure connection with the backplane.

Step 7 Use the screwdriver to tighten the captive screws to secure the unit to the chassis.

Step 8 Plug the AC-input power cable into the power receptacle on the front panel of the AC PEM.

Step 9 Route the power cable up the front of the AC PEM and clip it into the two plastic retaining clips attached to the surface of the PEM. Route the power cable out through the right side, so that it will fit through the notch on the right side of the front bezel cover. (see Figure 5-21).

Figure 5-21 Routing the AC Power Cables

Step 10 Plug the other end of the AC-input power cable into a 200-240 VAC power outlet. For fully redundant operation, each AC PEM should use separate power sources, or you should be using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

The FAULT LED on the AC PEM is yellow to indicate that the AC PEM is receiving power from the power source but is not yet supplying power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

Step 11 Push up the power switch on the replacement AC PEM to the on (|) position (see Figure 5-22).

Figure 5-22 Setting AC Power Switch to the ON Position

Step 12 When you turn on the power switch on the AC PEM, the FAULT LED goes off and the POWER LED goes on (green).

Step 13 Slide the front bezel cover onto the four corner posts of the chassis and then push down, so that the posts are seated in the grooves above the cover holes. Route the AC power cables through the notch on the right side of the cover.


Replacing Both AC PEMs

Use the following procedure to replace or reinstall both AC PEMs. This procedure is typically needed only when you need to move the chassis or reinstall it in another location.


Tip This procedure is rarely needed for normal operations because it requires that you shut down the Cisco uBR10012 router and remove all power to the system. To avoid this, Cisco recommends replacing each AC PEM, one at a time, by following the instructions in the "Replacing a Redundant AC PEM" section.



Step 1 Remove the front cover.

Step 2 Shut down the system using the following procedure:

a. Notify appropriate personnel that you plan to shut down the system and that the shutdown will result in total loss of service. Appropriate personnel includes the regional alarm or network monitoring center, central office personnel, and key customers.

b. Before you shut down the router, use the copy command to save any configuration changes to NVRAM and, if you wish, to a PC media card. See the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Software Configuration Guide for instructions about using the copy command.

c. Turn the power switch on each AC PEM to the standby position (see Figure 5-23).

Figure 5-23 Turning the AC PEM Off

Step 3 Unplug the AC-input power cable from the power plug on the front panel of each AC PEM. For safety, also unplug the other end of the power cable from each AC-input power source.


Tip For true redundant power protection, ensure that you are using a separate AC-input power source for each AC PEM.


Step 4 Use the screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on each AC PEM. Then pull each AC PEM from the chassis by using the handle on the faceplate (see Figure 5-19). Set the two AC PEMs aside.

Step 5 Verify that the power switch on each replacement AC PEM is in the standby position (see Figure 5-23).

Step 6 Position the first replacement AC PEM in the power bay and push it forward. Verify that it goes all the way in and makes a secure connection with the backplane.

Step 7 Use the screwdriver to tighten the captive screws to secure the unit to the chassis.

Step 8 Position the second replacement AC PEM in the power bay and push it forward. Verify that it goes all the way in and makes a secure connection with the backplane.

Step 9 Tighten the captive screws to secure the unit to the chassis (see Figure 5-20).


Caution Although one AC PEM can supply sufficient power for a fully configured chassis, run the Cisco uBR10012 router with two AC PEMs installed, because this provides redundant power support.

Step 10 Plug the AC-input power cable into the power receptacle on the front panel of each AC PEM.

Step 11 Route the power cable up the front of the AC PEM and clip it into the two plastic retaining clips attached to the surface of the PEM. Route the power cable out through the right side, so that it fits through the notch on the right side of the front bezel cover, see Figure 5-21.

Step 12 Plug the other end of the AC-input power cable into a 200-240 VAC power outlet. For fully redundant operation, each AC PEM should use separate power sources, or you should be using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

The FAULT LED on each replacement AC PEM is yellow to indicate that the AC PEM is receiving power from the power source but is not yet supplying power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

Step 13 Push up the power switch on the replacement AC PEM to the on (|) position (see Figure 5-24).

Figure 5-24 Setting AC Power Switch to the ON Position

Step 14 When you turn on the power switch on each AC PEM, its FAULT LED goes off and the POWER LED comes on (green).

Step 15 Slide the front bezel cover onto the four corner posts of the chassis and then push down, so that the posts are seated in the grooves above the cover holes. Route the AC power cables through the notch on the right side of the cover.


Removing and Replacing the PRE Module

It is not necessary to configure the PRE module if you are installing or replacing a second PRE. The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the primary PRE.

Removing the PRE Module

Use the following procedure to install a new PRE module, or to replace an existing PRE module.


Step 1 Be sure you are properly grounded.

Step 2 If necessary, remove the blank cover from the PRE module slot and discard.

Step 3 Disconnect any interface cables from the PRE module if necessary.

Step 4 Remove the PC media card from the PRE module (see the "Removing and Installing a PC Media Card" section).

Step 5 Unscrew the top and bottom captive screws on the PRE module (see Figure 5-25).

Figure 5-25 Loosening the Captive Screws

Step 6 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers away from each other to disengage the PRE module from the backplane (see Figure 5-26).

Figure 5-26 Opening the Ejector Levers

Step 7 Slide the PRE module out of the slot and place it on an antistatic surface, or in an antistatic bag (see Figure 5-27).

Figure 5-27 Removing the PRE Module from the Chassis

Step 8 If you are installing a new or replacement PRE module, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, install a blank cover over the slot and screw down its captive screws to conclude this procedure.


Note For proper cooling and airflow, a blank PRE module cover should always be installed when a second PRE module is not installed.

The product order number for the blank PRE module cover is ESR-PRE-COVER=.



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. Statement 1029



Replacing the PRE Module

When replacing a PRE1 module with a PRE2 module, you must also install EMI gaskets and RF absorber material, for more information, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/installation/field_replaceable_units/pre2gkit.html


Step 1 Grasp the faceplate of the new PRE module with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier (to support the weight of the module) and position the card in front of the card cage slot.

Step 2 Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the PRE module with the upper and lower guides in the chassis, and slide the module into the slot until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors (see Figure 5-28).

Figure 5-28 Inserting the PRE Module in the Chassis

Step 3 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to firmly seat the PRE module in the backplane (see Figure 5-29).

Step 4 Secure the PRE module in the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (see Figure 5-25).


Caution Always tighten the captive screws on each newly installed PRE module. These screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

Figure 5-29 Closing the Ejector Levers

Step 5 When fully inserted, the PRE module cycles through its power-on self-test. The FAIL LED stays on briefly (about 5 to 6 seconds) and then shuts off. If the FAIL LED remains on or is flashing, go to the "Troubleshooting Installation Problems" section on page 4-2.

Step 6 Reconnect any interface cables to the PRE module if necessary. Route the cables through the square hole in the front left side on the chassis.

Step 7 Install the PC media card in the PRE module, if necessary (see the Removing and Installing a PC Media Card).


Removing and Installing a PC Media Card

Use the following procedure to remove and install a PC media card.


Note The Cisco uBR10012 router uses PC media cards that are a minimum of 64 MB in size. For information about formatting media cards and disks, see the "Formatting PC Media Cards" section on page 3-65.



Step 1 Loosen the captive screw on the PC media card cover on the PRE (see Figure 5-30).

Figure 5-30 PC Media Card Cover Captive Screws

Step 2 Lift the cover, push the proper eject button, and pull the Flash card out of its slot (see Figure 5-31).

Figure 5-31 Removing the PC Media Card

Step 3 Insert the new PC media card into one of the card slots on the PRE (see Figure 5-32).

Figure 5-32 Inserting the PC Media Card

Step 4 Close the cover and tighten the captive screw to maintain proper EMI emissions levels (see Figure 5-30).


Removing and Replacing a Timing, Communication, and Control Plus Card

Use the following procedure to install a new Timing, Communication, and Control Plus (TCC+) card or to replace an existing TCC+ card. If two TCC+ cards are installed for redundant operation, one of the cards can be removed and replaced without interrupting system operations.


Note The product order number for the TCC+ card is UBR10-TCC+=



Step 1 Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal, unpainted surface on the chassis or frame.

Step 2 Face the back of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. If necessary, clear aside enough interface and power cables to allow sufficient space to work.

Step 3 If installing a new TCC+ card, remove the blank slot cover and discard, and then proceed to step 8. Otherwise, disconnect the clock cables from the TCC+ card being replaced.

Step 4 Loosen the top and bottom captive screws on the TCC+ card (see Figure 5-33).

Figure 5-33 TCC+ Card Captive Screws

Step 5 Verify that the maintenance LED is lighted on the TCC+ card you are removing. This LED indicates that the card can be removed from the chassis without interrupting systems operations.

Step 6 Using the handle, pull the TCC+ card out of the slot and place it on an antistatic surface, or in an antistatic bag (see Figure 5-34).

Figure 5-34 Removing the TCC+ card

Step 7 If you are installing a replacement card, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, install a blank cover over the slot and screw down its captive screws to conclude this procedure.


Note For proper cooling and airflow, a cover must always be installed in a blank TCC+ card slot. The product order number for the blank TCC+ card cover is UBR10-TCC+-COVER=.



Warning Blank faceplates (filler 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 and faceplates are in place. Statement 1029


Step 8 Pick up the replacement TCC+ card and position it in front of the card cage slot.

Step 9 Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the chassis, and slide the line card into the slot so that it firmly seats in the backplane connectors (see Figure 5-35).

Figure 5-35 Inserting the TCC+ Card

Step 10 Secure the line card in the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (see Figure 5-33).


Caution Always tighten the captive screws on each TCC+ card. These screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

Step 11 When fully inserted, the TCC+ card cycles through its power-on self-test. The Power LED lights (green) and the Status LED then briefly lights (yellow). If this is the primary (or only) TCC+ card, the Status LED then lights a solid green. On the backup TCC+ card, the Status LED should start flashing green after a few moments. If these LEDs do not operate as described, go to the "Troubleshooting Installation Problems" section on page 4-2.

Step 12 Connect the clock cables to the TCC+ card.


Caution The TCC+ card can connect only to a national clock source such as a GPS receiver or Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) clock. The Cisco uBR10012 router does not support directly connecting the RJ-45 connectors on the TCC+ cards to an outside plant line or telco-provided T1/E1 clock source. You can use an outside or telco-provided T1/E1 clock source only by connecting the source to the TCC+ cards using a CSU/DSU or other equipment that is approved to FCC part 68 and ANSI/UL1950 for the connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).


Note It is not necessary to configure the TCC+ card if you are installing a replacement card in the same slot. The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the PRE module.


Step 13 Configure the TCC+ card if necessary (see the "Formatting PC Media Cards" section on page 3-65, or the Cisco uBR10012 Router Software Configuration Guide).


Removing and Replacing a Network Line Card

Use the following procedure to install a new network line card, or to remove or replace an existing network line card in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The following cards are supported:

This section describes how to install the line card in the Cisco uBR10012 router. This section includes the following tasks:

Installing the Slot Splitter

Installing the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card


Caution You must use slot 3 or slot 4 when installing the slot splitter and HHGE line card in the Cisco uBR10012 router, using slot 1 or slot 2 will cause the router to shut down those slots.


Caution Do not install two half-height blank faceplates into the same slot in the slot splitter. Instead, install a full-slot blank faceplate into the slot. The half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the empty slot will rob cooling air from the other slots. A slot splitter with one half-height line card and one blank faceplate is allowed.


Caution Do not install a line card into the slot splitter before installing the splitter into the chassis. The slot splitter does not have ejector levers that allow you to seat the line card in the backplane.

Installing the Slot Splitter

You must install the half-height line card into a slot that contains a slot splitter, which can hold two half-height line cards. If both slots of the slot splitter are not used, then you must install a blank faceplate in the empty slot.

Follow these steps to install a slot splitter into slot 3 or slot 4 of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.


Step 1 Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame (Figure 5-39).

These screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.


Removing and Replacing an SFP Module

Your HHGE line card is shipped with an SFP module installed. Use the procedures in this section if you need to change the SFP module:

Removing an SFP Module

Inserting an SFP Module

Use only SFP modules supplied by Cisco with your HHGE line card. Each SFP module contains an internal serial EEPROM that is security-programmed by the SFP manufacturer with information that provides a way for Cisco (through Cisco IOS software) to identify and validate the SFP module as a module type that is tested and qualified by Cisco to operate properly with your line card. Unapproved SFP modules (those not purchased directly from Cisco) do not work with the HHGE line card.

Types of SFP Modules

SFP modules from different manufacturers provide different methods for freeing the locking pin and removing the SFP module. Figure 5-50 shows two available module types.

Figure 5-50 Mylar Tab SFP Module and Bale Clasp SFP Module

Mylar Tab SFP—Pulling the mylar tab simultaneously releases the locking pin and pulls the SFP module out of its receptacle.

Bale Clasp SFP—Opening the bale clasp releases the locking pin so you can remove the SFP module from its receptacle.

Removing an SFP Module

Use the following procedure to remove an SFP module from the HHGE line card.


Note You can remove an SFP module while the system is powered on, but the interface shuts down.



Step 1 Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.

Figure 5-51 Disconnecting the LC-type Fiber-Optic Cable

Step 2 Disconnect the fiber-optic cable connector from the SFP module (Figure 5-51).

Step 7 If you are installing a new or replacement cable interface line card, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, install a blank cover over the slot and screw down its captive screws to conclude this procedure.


Note For proper cooling and airflow, a blank cable interface line card cover must always be installed in a blank line card slot.

The product order number for the blank cable interface line card cover is UBR10-MC-Cover=.



Warning Blank faceplates (filler 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 and faceplates are in place. Statement 1029



Installing a Cable Interface Line Card


Step 1 Grasp the faceplate of the new cable interface line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier (to support the weight of the card) and position the card in front of the card cage slot.

Step 2 Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the cable interface line card with the upper and lower guides in the chassis, and slide the cable interface line card into the slot until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors (see Figure 5-56).

Figure 5-56 Inserting the Cable Interface Line Card

Step 3 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to firmly seat the card in the backplane (see Figure 5-57).

Figure 5-57 Closing the Ejector Levers

Step 4 Secure the cable interface line card in the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (see Figure 5-54).


Tip If you are installing more then one card, wait until all the cards are installed before tightening the captive screws.



Tip Captive screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.


Step 5 When fully inserted, the cable interface line card cycles through its power-on self-test. The POWER LED lights (green) and the STATUS LED lights (yellow). If the card is operating correctly, the STATUS LED then starts lighting green. If these LEDs do not operate as described, see the "Troubleshooting the Line Cards" section on page 4-12.

Step 6 Connect all downstream and upstream coaxial cables to the cable interface line card as necessary.

Step 7 Configure the cable interface line card if necessary (refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Router Software Configuration Guide for information about configuring the line card).


Note It is not necessary to configure the cable interface line card if you are installing a replacement card in the identical slot. The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the PRE.



Removing and Replacing the Cable Interface Line Card in the Adapter Card

The following section describes how to remove and replace a Cisco MCxx cable interface line card in the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card.


Note This procedure pertains to all Cisco MCxx cable interface line cards (Cisco MC16x and Cisco MC28C) used with the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card.



Tip Make sure you are using an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and have an appropriate antistatic surface work space, as detailed in the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section on page 2-2.


Removing the Cable Interface Line Card from the Adapter Card


Step 1 Remove the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MCxx cable line card, as described in steps 1 through 6 in the "Removing and Replacing a Cable Interface Line Card" section.


Caution Do not attempt to separate or remove the Cisco MCxx card from the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card while the two cards are installed in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The cards must be removed from the chassis as a unit and then separated on a lab bench or other area that protects against ESD damage.

Step 2 Place the cable line interface card on an anti-static surface. The component side should be facing up, as shown in Figure 5-58.


Note This illustration uses the Cisco MC28C cable interface card as an example. You can perform this procedure using any of the Cisco MCxx cards.


Figure 5-58 Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C Cable Interface Line Card

Step 3 Loosen and remove the two sets of retaining nuts and washers on the L-brackets on the Cisco MCxx board (see Figure 5-58). Set the nuts and washers aside.

Step 4 Loosen and disengage the two captive screws on the Cisco MCxx board (see Figure 5-58).

Step 5 Use the ejector levers on each side of the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card to loosen and disengage the Cisco MCxx card from the adapter card (see Figure 5-59).

Step 6 Using the handle, pull the Cisco MC28C card straight out of the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card (see Figure 5-60).

Step 7 Place the Cisco MCxx card aside, on an antistatic surface.

Figure 5-59 Using the Ejector Levers to Remove the Line Card from the Adapter Card

Figure 5-60 Removing the Cisco MC28C Line Card from the Adapter Card


Installing a Cable Interface Line Card in the Adapter Card


Step 1 Using the handle on the new or replacement Cisco MCxx card, align the holes in the L-brackets with the screws on the adapter card.See Figure 5-59.

Step 2 Align the Cisco MCxx card with the guide rails in the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card, and ensure that the Cisco MCxx card's sheet metal is flush with the sheet metal on the bottom of the adapter card (the Cisco MCxx card should slide under the spring guides and not over them).

Step 3 Slide the Cisco MCxx card into the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card slowly, making sure that the Cisco MCxx card is sliding under the spring guides. Also verify that its power connectors are aligned with those on the adapter card. Continue slowly pushing until the connectors on the Cisco MCxx card are firmly connected to the connectors on the adapter card. The ejector levers on each side of the card should snap into place when the card is fully inserted.


Note Make sure that the screws on the adapter card brackets slide cleanly into the holes in the L-brackets. These brackets help to align the adapter card and cable interface line card connectors and hold the cable interface line card in place.


Step 4 Tighten the captive screws on the Cisco MCxx card to secure it to the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card.

Step 5 Reattach the retaining washers and screws on the L-brackets on the Cisco MCxx card. Make sure they are finger-tight, and then turn them a half-turn with a wrench to secure them and the card in place.

Step 6 Reinsert the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MCxx cable interface line card, as described in the "Removing and Replacing a Cable Interface Line Card" section.

Step 7 Connect all downstream and upstream coaxial cables to the cable interface line card as necessary.

Step 8 Configure the cable interface line card if necessary (see the Cisco uBR10012 Software Configuration Guide for information about configuring the line card).


Note It is not necessary to configure the cable interface line card if you are installing a replacement card in the same slot. The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the PRE.
