Statement 1006
|
The chassis is shipped with the mounting brackets installed on the front of the chassis. You can remove these brackets and install them on the rear of the chassis, using the holes provided in the rear side of the chassis. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1 Cisco SCE8000 Chassis Brackets
Step 1 Position the chassis in the rack as follows:
•If the front of the chassis (front panel) is at the front of the rack, then insert the rear of the chassis between the mounting posts.
•If the rear of the chassis is at the front of the rack, then insert the front of the chassis between the mounting posts.
Step 2 Align the mounting holes in the bracket (and optional cable guide) with the mounting holes in the equipment rack.
Step 3 Use a tape measure and level to choose and mark the position that the chassis is to be installed in the rack. Make a mark at equal height on both sides of the rack. This helps ensure that the chassis is installed straight and level. (See Figure 2.)
Figure 2 Installing the Cisco SCE8000 Chassis in the Rack
Step 4 Install the eight (four per side) 12-24 x 3/4-inch or 10-32 x 3/4-inch screws through the holes in the bracket and into the threaded holes in the equipment rack posts.
Step 5 Use a tape measure and level to verify that the chassis is installed straight and level.
Installing an Optical Bypass Module
Two installation options exist for external bypass modules:
•Chassis mount panel—Mounted on slot 4 of the Cisco SCE8000 chassis. It hosts four optical bypass modules, which serve the eight traffic links supported by one Cisco SCE8000 chassis.
•External mounting panel—Can be mounted in any 19-inch rack. It also hosts up to four optical bypass modules, which serve eight traffic links.
Step 1 For external mounting, install the external mounting panel in the 19-inch rack. Screw the mounting panel to the rack using four 3/4-inch screws, two on each side, through the holes in the mounting panel and into the threaded holes in the rack posts. For internal mounting, the Cisco SCE8000 chassis is shipped with the chassis mounting panel installed in slot 4.
Step 2 Remove the module filler plate covering the subslot in the mounting panel by loosening the two screws.
Step 3 Carefully insert the optical bypass module into the subslot (no guide rails exist) and tighten the captive screws on either side of the module. (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3 Optical Bypass Modules in External Mounting Panel
3 Connecting Power Supply Units
The Cisco SCE8000 chassis is shipped with the power supply units (AC or DC) already installed. This section provides information for grounding the Cisco SCE8000 platform and connecting the power supply units.
Connecting the Chassis Ground
Note If this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office, you must connect the system ground on both
AC- and DC-powered systems to an earth ground.
Note For DC-powered systems, the system ground is also the power supply ground. The DC ground must be installed with a permanent connection to an earth ground according to NEC guidelines.
Note When you use the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply in the Cisco SCE8000 chassis, additional grounding requirements exist.
Two threaded M4 holes are provided on the chassis frame to attach the ground cable.
Before you connect system power or turn on the Cisco SCE8000 chassis, you must complete this procedure:
Step 1 Measure approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the grounding wire from the end and remove the covering using a wire stripper.
Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug.
Step 3 To secure the grounding wire in place in the grounding lug, use the manufacturer recommended crimping tool.
Step 4 Locate and remove the adhesive label from the system grounding pad on the chassis. (See Figure 4.)
Figure 4 Installing the System Ground
Step 5 Place the grounding wire lug against the grounding pad, making sure that solid metal-to-metal contact exists.
Step 6 Secure the grounding lug to the chassis using two M4 screws. Ensure that the grounding lug does not interfere with other hardware or rack equipment.
Step 7 Ensure that there is adequate earth ground for the Cisco SCE8000 chassis by preparing the other end of the grounding wire and connecting it to an appropriate grounding point at your site.
Connecting Power
The following sections describe how to reconnect the AC or DC power.
Installing a DC-Input Power Supply
Note The DC return must remain isolated from the system frame and chassis (DC-I).
Note Before you perform any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.
Note For multiple DC input power supplies, each DC input must be protected by a dedicated circuit breaker or fuse. The circuit breaker or fuse should be sized according to the power supply input rating and local or national electrical code requirements.
Note Power supply ground is required. Install the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground as described in this procedure; it provides the system ground connection with the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply. Additionally, you can connect a system (earth) ground.
Note You must always connect the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground.
Note You must always connect the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground for both power supplies.
Note If you intend to use an additional system (earth ground), ensure that the system ground connection is made. For ground connection installation instructions, see the "Connecting the Chassis Ground" section.
Step 1 Remove the plastic bag attached to the front panel and put it aside. This bag contains two plastic terminal block barriers, two cable ties, and two cable holder covers.
Step 2 Verify that power is off to the DC circuit, which is connected to the power supply you are installing. Grasp both power supply handles. (See Figure 5.) Slide the power supply into the power supply bay. Make sure that the power supply is fully seated in the bay.
Figure 5 Handling a DC-Input Power Supply
Step 3 Tighten the power supply captive installation screws.
|
Warning To ensure protective grounding continuity, power supply captive installation screws must be tight.
|
Note Because the power requirement of the Cisco SCE8000 does not exceed 1350 W, it is not necessary to connect two pairs of input wires to each power supply. If you want to connect two pairs of input wires, both pairs of input wires for one 2700 W DC-input power supply must come from the same battery system (A feed), and both pairs of input wires for the other power supply must come from another battery system (B feed).
Step 4 Remove the four screws securing the terminal block cover, and slide the cover off of the terminal block. (See Figure 6.)

Step 5 Attach the appropriate lugs to the DC-input wires and ground wire. The wires should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Use only copper wire. The maximum width of a lug is 0.600 inch (15.2 mm).
Note For North American installations, use fine-stranded copper conductors rated for 90-degrees Celsius.
Note The power supply terminal block lug opening width is 0.62 inch (15.8 mm). The terminal posts are centered 0.625 inches (15.88 mm) apart and are 1/4-20 threaded. We recommend that you use an appropriately sized industry standard 2-hole, standard barrel compression lug. The power supply ground studs, located below the terminal block, are also threaded 1/4-20 and require two 1/4-inch split-ring washers and two 1/4-20 hex nuts.
Step 6 Connect the DC-input wires to the 2700 W power supply terminal block. Depending onto which side you are connecting the DC-input wires, be sure that the DC-input wires rest in the appropriate cable holder. Figure 7 shows DC-input wires coming in from the left side.
Connect the DC-input wires to the 2700 W power supply terminal block in this order (Figure 7):
•Ground
•Negative (-)
•Positive (+)
Note When you tighten the terminal nuts, make sure they are snug. Do not overtighten them. Recommended torque strength is 20 inch-pounds. Over-tightening the terminal nuts can break the terminal block (maximum torque: 36 inch-pounds).
Figure 7 DC-Input Wires on Left Side
When you install the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
Step 7 Secure the ground cable to the cable holder using the two cable-ties.
Step 8 Retrieve the cable holder covers from the plastic bag and attach to the front panel at the locations. (See Figure 6.)
Note If the cable holder illustrated as number 5 and 8 in Figure 6 does not hold the DC input cables snugly, use a long cable tie to secure the cable holders as illustrated in number 9.
Step 9 Secure the terminal block cover using four screws and the terminal block barriers with two screws each.
Step 10 Turn on the DC inputs and verify power supply operation by checking the power supply front panel LEDs.
The power supply rear panel LEDs should be in the following states:
•Input OK LED is green.
•Fan OK LED is green.
•Output Fail LED is not lit.
If the LEDs indicate a power problem, see the "Troubleshooting" section.
Installing an AC-Input Power Supply
Note This product requires short-circuit (over current) protection to be provided as part of the building installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.
Step 1 Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection is made. For ground connection instructions, see the "Connecting the Chassis Ground" section.
Step 2 Verify that the power switch is in the Off (0) position.
Step 3 Plug the power cord into the power supply.
Step 4 Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC-input power source.
Caution In a system with dual power supplies, connect each power supply to a separate input source. In case of an isolated power source failure, the second source will still be available.
Step 5 Turn the switch on the power supply to the On (|) position.
Step 6 Verify power supply operation by checking the power supply LEDs. The power supply LEDs should be in the following states:
•Input OK LED is green.
•Fan OK LED is green.
•Output Failed LED is not lit.
If the LEDs indicate a power issue, see the "Identifying Startup Issues" section.
4 Connecting Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration
This section explains how to connect the Cisco SCE8000 platform to a local console and how to cable the Gigabit Ethernet management interfaces.
Note If two SCE8000-SCM modules are installed, use the console and management ports on the module in slot 1 only.
Connecting the Local Console
You must first connect the unit to a local console and configure the initial settings for the Cisco SCE8000 platform to support remote management.
Make sure that the terminal configuration is as follows:
•9600 baud
•8 data bits
•No Parity
•1 stop bits
•No flow control
These Cisco SCE8000 port parameters are fixed and are not configurable.
Step 1 Plug the RS-232 serial cable provided with the Cisco SCE8000 into the Con port on the front panel of the SCE8000-SCM-E. (See item #2 in Figure 8.)
Figure 8 Connecting the Local Console to the SCE8000-SCM-E CON Port
Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable (with an attached DB-9 or DB-25 connector) to the VT100 compatible local (serial) terminal.
Step 3 Make sure the local terminal is configured as a VT-100 terminal, according to the fixed Cisco SCE8000 CON port parameters.
Step 4 Make sure that the Cisco SCE8000 is powered on and has completed booting (this process may take several minutes).
Step 5 Press Enter several times until the Cisco logo appears on the local terminal.
Setting Up Initial Parameters
For the SCE platform to communicate properly, set basic global parameters. The following is a summary of the initial setup parameters and commands. For more information, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/serv_exch/serv_control/broadband_app/rel38x/sce8000_gbe_ig/sce8000_gbe_ig.html.
•IP address and subnet mask of the Cisco SCE8000 platform. This is the IP address used by the GBE management interface.
•IP address of the default gateway.
•Hostname—Hostname used to identify the SCE platform. It appears as part of the CLI prompt and is also returned as the value of the MIB-II object sysName.
–Maximum length is 20 characters
–Default hostname is SCE8000
•Passwords for user, admin, and root level access. These are authorization-level passwords, not individual passwords. These passwords may be encrypted.
Passwords must meet the following criteria:
–Minimum length—4 characters
–Maximum length—100 characters
–Begin with an alpha character
–May contain only printable characters
•Default password for all levels is cisco.
•System clock—Current date and time. The clock and the calendar must always be synchronized.

Connecting the Management Interface
The SCE8000-SCM-E is equipped with two active RJ-45 management ports. These 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces provide access from a remote management console to the Cisco SCE8000 via a LAN. The two management ports provide the possibility for a redundant management interface, thus ensuring management access to the SCE platform even if there is a failure in one of the management links.
If only one management port is used, the desired port is simply connected directly to the LAN. If both management ports are used, they must both be connected to the management console via a switch. In this way, the IP address of the MNG port is always the same, regardless of which physical port is currently active
Cabling the Management Port
Step 1 Plug the Ethernet cable provided (with attached RJ-45 connector) into the desired 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the front panel of the SCE8000-SCM-E in slot 1. (See item #3 in Figure 9.)
Figure 9 Cabling the Management Port
Step 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into your management network.
•If only one management port is used — connect the port directly to the LAN.
•If both management ports are used — connect both ports to the LAN via a switch.
The Link LED on the Cisco SCE8000 management port lights.
Step 3 Test connectivity. From the host that you intend to use for remote management, ping to the Cisco SCE8000 by typing ping and the Cisco SCE8000 IP address, and pressing Enter.
This verifies that an active connection exists between the specified station and the management port.
5 Cabling Line Ports
This chapter describes cabling the Cisco SCE8000 Gigabit Ethernet ports for single and cascaded service control platform topologies. The Gigabit Ethernet ports are located on the 8-port GBE SPA modules, which are installed in the SCE8000-SIP module in slot 3 of the Cisco SCE8000 chassis.

Step 1 Obtain the appropriate fiber optic cable.
Step 2 Plus the fiber optic cable into the appropriate port on the 8-port GBE SPA module in slot 3 of the Cisco SCE8000.
(See Figure 10.)
Figure 10 Cabling the GBE Interface
The Link LED should be green.
Installing a Cascaded System
Step 1 Install both Cisco SCE8000 GBE platforms, power them up, and perform the initial system configuration.
To maintain link continuity at all times, including during the reload sequence and power failure events, optical bypass modules must be installed.
Step 2 Connect both Cisco SCE8000 GBE platforms to the management station.
Step 3 Connect the cascade ports. (See Table 4.)
The cascade ports must either be connected directly in Layer 1 (dark fibers) or use the following procedure to connect through a switch.
–Connect one set of cascade ports to a single switch (3/2/0 <-> 3/2/0). Configure them both on the same access VLAN, which is used only by the interfaces connected to these ports. No other interfaces in the switch should reside on that VLAN.
–Connect the other set of cascade ports (3/3/0 <-> 3/3/0) to a switch on a different VLAN. Again, the access ports should be configured as access ports on this VLAN, which is used only by the interfaces connected to these ports. No other interfaces in the switch should reside on the VLAN.
Step 4 Set topology configurations for each Cisco SCE8000 GBE platform using the connection-mode CLI command.
Step 5 Make sure that the Cisco SCE8000 GBE platforms have synchronized and the active Cisco SCE8000 GBE platform was selected.
Step 6 Change the link mode to your required mode in both Cisco SCE8000 GBE platforms on all links if you want to start in the bypass mode. The bypass mode is applied only to the active Cisco SCE8000 GBE platform.
Step 7 Connect the traffic ports of Cisco SCE8000 GBE platform #0. This causes a momentary down time until the network elements from both sides of the Cisco SCE8000 GBE platform auto-negotiate with it and start working.
Step 8 Connect the traffic ports of Cisco SCE8000 GBE platform #1. This causes a momentary down time until the network elements from both sides of the Cisco SCE8000 GBE platform auto-negotiate with it and start working.
Step 9 When full control is needed, change the link mode on both Cisco SCE8000 GBE platforms on all links to `forwarding'. It is recommended to first configure the active Cisco SCE8000 GBE platform and then the standby.
6 Completing the Installation
This section explains how to verify link connectivity and how to install a Cisco service control application.
Examining the LEDs
The GBE Link LED should be green. This indicates that an active connection exists.
Performing Final Installation Verification
Viewing Gigabit Ethernet Port Status
Step 1 At the SCE> prompt, enter show interface GigabitEthernet 3/baynumber/portnumber.
This displays the port link status.
The following example shows how to display a system response.
SCE> show interface GigabitEthernet 3/1/0
Auto negotiation configured: Enabled
Auto negotiation: Enabled
Bandwidth (L1): 1000000 Kbps, Burst-size: 50000 bytes
Pseudo IP Address: Not Configured
Monitoring Traffic Using the Gigabit Ethernet Counters
In an inline topology, you can monitor traffic through the platform counters for both the receive (RX) and transmit (TX) connections. As packets flow through the Cisco SCE8000 for both RX and TX, the counters increase.
However, in receive-only topologies, the counters for the TX do not increment because the Cisco SCE8000 is only monitoring traffic, and not re-transmitting traffic.
Step 1 At the SCE> prompt, enter show interface GigabitEthernet 3/baynumber/portnumber counters. The GigabitEthernet counters appear.
Step 2 Use the output to verify that traffic is taking place. You can see that the counters increase, together with real-time packet flow through the Cisco SCE8000.
Remember, in bump-in-the-wire topology, both the RX and TX counters function as traffic monitors. For receive-only topologies using an external splitter, only the RX counters apply.
The following example shows how to view the counters of the first Gigabit Ethernet interface.
SCE> show interface GigabitEthernet 3/0/0 counters
In total octets: 100
In good unicast packets: 90
In good multicast packets: 0
In good broadcast packets: 10
In packets discarded: 0
In packets with CRC/Alignment error: 0
In undersized packets: 0
In oversized packets: 0
Out total octets: 93*2^32+1022342538
Out unicast packets: 858086051
Out non unicast packets: 0
Out packets discarded: 0
Viewing User Log Counters
View the user log for errors that may have occurred during the installation process.
Step 1 At the SCE> prompt, enter show logger device User-File-Log counters and press Enter.
Step 2 If Total error messages or Total fatal messages appear, use the show logger device User-File-Log command to display details about the errors.
SCE> show logger device user-file-log counters
Logger device User-File-Log counters:
Total info messages: 1
Total warning messages: 0
Total error messages: 0
Total fatal messages: 0
Configuring the Cisco SCE8000 GBE Platform
After you install the Cisco SCE8000 GBE platform hardware, check all external connections, turn on system power, and allow the system to boot, you are ready to install the service control application. However, before you install the application, you might need to configure the SCE platform. Instructions for configuring the Cisco SCE8000 platform are beyond the scope of this publication.
For more information on system and interface configuration, see the following documents:
•Cisco SCE8000 GBE Software Configuration Guide
•Cisco SCE8000 CLI Command Reference Guide
Viewing Configurations
When you enter configuration commands, this action immediately affects the SCE platform operation and configuration. The configuration, referred to as the running-config, is saved in the SCE platform volatile memory and is effective while the SCE platform is up. After reboot, the SCE platform loads the startup-config, which includes the nondefault configuration that was saved by the user, into the running-config.
The SCE platform provides commands for:
•Viewing the running configuration with only user-configured (nondefault) values—show running-config
•Viewing the running configuration with all the SCE platform running configuration values, whether default or not—show running-config all-data
•Viewing the startup configuration—show startup-config
After configuring the SCE platform, you may query for the running configuration using the command show running-config.
Step 1 At the SCE# prompt, enter show running-config. The system shows the running configuration.
SCE# show running-config
#This is a general configuration file (running-config).

Saving or Changing Configuration Settings
When you make changes to the current running configuration and you want those changes to remain in effect when the system restarts, you must save the changes before leaving the management session. To do so, save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
The SCE platform provides multiple interfaces for configuration and management. All interfaces supply an application programming interface (API) to the same database of the SCE platform. Any configuration made through one interface is reflected through all interfaces. Furthermore, when saving the running configuration to the startup configuration from any management interface, all configuration settings are saved regardless of the management interface used to set the configuration.
For backup purposes, the old startup-config file is saved under the directory: /system/prevconf.
To remove a configuration command from the running-config, use the no form of the command.
Step 1 At the SCE# prompt, enter show running-config to view the running configuration. The running configuration appears.
Step 2 Check the configuration to make sure that it is set to your specifications. If not, make the changes you want before saving.
Step 3 Enter copy running-config startup-config. The system saves all running configuration information to the configuration file, which is used when the system reboots.
The configuration file holds all information that is different from the system default in a file called config.tx1 located in the directory: /system.
Saving or Changing Configuration Settings: Example
The following example shows how to save the running configuration file (first displaying the file to review the settings).

Identifying Startup Issues
Startup issues are commonly because of a power source issue or a poor cable connection.
This section describes the normal startup sequence and describes the steps to take if the system does not perform that sequence as expected. LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the state of the LEDs, you can determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence. Use the following descriptions to isolate the problem to a subsystem, and then proceed to the appropriate sections to try to resolve the problem.
When you start up the system by turning on the power supply switch, the following should occur:
•You should immediately hear the fans operating.
•If the Status LED is flashing orange, which indicates a warning state, check the user log.
At the prompt, enter more user log.
If any of the following warning messages appear, turn off the Cisco SCE8000 platform and call technical support.
–Voltage problem
–Fan problem
–Abnormal increase in interior temperature
