Installing the Cisco 10008 Router
This chapter describes the procedures for installing the Cisco 10008 router on a tabletop or in equipment racks. It also describes how to connect interface and power cables, the proper way to power on the system, and installation troubleshooting procedures.
Note 
The illustrations in this guide depict the original Cisco 10008 chassis. Your chassis may appear or look slightly different, but the installation procedure is the same.
This chapter contains the following sections:
•Installation Methods
•Rack-Mounting the Chassis
•Non-Rack Installation
•Connecting the Chassis to Ground
•Connecting DC Power to the Cisco 10008 Router
•Connecting AC Power to the Cisco 10008 Router
•Connecting Alarm Indicators
•Connecting a Video Terminal to the PRE Console Port
•Connecting Network Management and Signal System Cables
Installation Methods
Although rack-mounting is the preferred method of installation for the Cisco 10008 router, you can mount the router in an alternate location, such as on an equipment shelf or on a tabletop.
A rack-mount and cable-management kit is shipped with the Cisco 10008 router.
For mounting the chassis in a:
•19-inch wide (standard), 4-post equipment rack or telco-type equipment rack, use the rack-mount brackets in the kit.
•23-inch wide equipment rack, order optional rack-mount brackets to fit the 23-inch rack.
The cable-management bracket relieves the strain on interface cables connected to the PRE and line card modules in the chassis.
If you are installing the chassis on an equipment shelf, on a tabletop, or using mounting hardware other than that supplied with the chassis, then go to the "Non-Rack Installation" section.
Rack-Mounting the Chassis
Rack-mounting the chassis is the preferred method of installation for the Cisco 10008 router. This section explains how to install the rack-mount and cable-management bracket on the Cisco 10008 chassis for the following types of installations:
•Flush-Mounting in a 19-Inch Rack
•Center-Mounting in a 19-Inch Rack
•Center-Mounting in a 23-Inch Rack (requires optional 23-inch bracket kit)
General Rack Installation Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
•The Cisco 10008 chassis requires a minimum of 13 rack units (22.3 inches or 56.6 cm) of vertical rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
•Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair rack-mount installation. If a power strip does impair a rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.
•Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving line cards, connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance to remove FRUs.
•Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.62 cm) on the front, top, and sides of the chassis for the cooling air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can enter the inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.
Caution To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco 10008 router in an enclosed rack or room that is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.
•Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to prevent the rack from falling over.
•Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco 10008 router to keep cables organized and out of the way of the line cards and PREs. Ensure that cables from other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards, or require you to disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.
•Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.
•Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.
In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions in the "Site Environmental Requirements" section.

Non-Rack Installation
The chassis should already be in the area where you will install it. If you have not determined where to install your chassis, see the "Receiving the Cisco 10000 Series Router" section for information about site considerations.
When installing the Cisco 10008 router on a workbench or tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean and that you have considered the following:
•The Cisco 10008 router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (the front and top/rear sides of the chassis).
•The Cisco 10008 router should be installed off the floor. Dust that accumulates on the floor is drawn into the interior of the router by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the router can cause overtemperature conditions and component failures.
•There must be approximately 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis to install and replace FRUs, or to access network cables and equipment.
•The Cisco 10008 router needs adequate ventilation. Do not install it in an enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate.
•Have the cable-management bracket available if you plan to install it on the front of the chassis.
•An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for your router chassis (see the "Connecting the Chassis to Ground" section).
•Always follow proper lifting practices as outlined in the "Electrical Safety" section, when handling the chassis.
Use the following procedure to install the Cisco 10008 router on a tabletop or equipment shelf:
Step 1 Remove any debris and dust from the tabletop or equipment shelf, as well as the surrounding area.
Step 2 Lift the chassis into position on the tabletop or equipment shelf.
Warning Two people are required to lift the chassis. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. Statement 164

•If you are connecting AC power to the system, go to the "Connecting AC Power to the Cisco 10008 Router" section.
Connecting DC Power to the Cisco 10008 Router
This section describes how to connect the Cisco 10008 router to a -48 VDC power source. The power connectors are pillar terminals on the backplane. For full power redundancy, each set of DC power connectors (terminal blocks labeled A and B) must be connected to separate power sources. If you do not require power redundancy, you can use only one set of terminals—either the A terminal block or the B terminal block. Do not use one of each.
Note If you are using AC PEMs, see the "Connecting a Video Terminal to the PRE Console Port" section.
Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and the heat can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals. Statement 43
Note Be sure that you have connected the chassis to earth ground as described in the previous section before beginning this procedure.

Step 12 Go to the "Connecting a Video Terminal to the PRE Console Port" section to continue the installation.
Connecting AC Power to the Cisco 10008 Router
The Cisco 10008 router can be powered directly from the facility VAC input through the AC PEM (100-240VAC). The AC PEM is provided with an IEC 320 250V, 20A power cord with a male type connector (16A rating for Europe) for the attachment of power cords used throughout the world.
Caution The 20A connector on the AC PEM is incompatible with the 15A power strips that are used in most equipment racks. Wiring codes prevent the AC-input power cable from being used with the power strips in equipment racks.
Note The AC power cord that connects to the PEM power cord and then to the building VAC is not shipped with the Cisco 10008 router. You must order this power cord separately.
There are five styles of AC-input power supply power cords available (differing in plug type); make sure you have the correct style for your site (see Table 3-3, Figure 3-22, and Figure 3-23.) All AC-input power supply power cords measure 14 feet (4.3 m). Cisco recommends that you:
•Install an uninterruptible power source where possible.
•Install proper grounding to avoid damage from lightning and power surges (see "Attaching the Grounding Cable" section).

Connecting Alarm Indicators
The Cisco 10008 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—An alarm condition that affects system operation and should be investigated as soon as possible.
•Critical—An alarm condition that affects system operation and requires immediate attention.
Figure 3-26 Removing the Safety Cover
Use the following procedure to connect an alarm indicator to the system:
Step 1 Loosen the captive screw on the rear safety cover and tilt the cover back (Figure 3-26).
Figure 3-27 Removing the Rear Cover
Step 2 Remove the safety cover by lifting it up and out from the chassis (Figure 3-27).
Figure 3-28 Stripping Insulation
Step 3 Strip not more than 0.4 inches (10 mm) of insulation off the ends of the alarm indicator wire (Figure 3-28).
Step 4 Connect one set of alarm indicator wires to the alarm terminal block as follows (see Figure 3-29):
a. Connect one lead to the common (COM) terminal.
b. Connect the other lead to the normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) terminal.
Caution Figure 3-29 shows the wiring configuration for normally open (NO) alarm relays. If you are wiring the router in
series with other equipment for the alarm indicators, use the normally closed (NC) terminals. If you are wiring the router in
parallel with other equipment for the alarm indicators, use the NO terminals.
Figure 3-29 Alarm Terminal Block Connections
Step 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any remaining alarm indicators.
Step 6 Secure the power cabling to the chassis by feeding a tie wrap through the slot on the side of the chassis and binding the wires (see blowout in Figure 3-30).
Step 7 Replace the rear safety cover, making sure that the alarm indicator wires exit through the hole on the side of the cover (Figure 3-30).
Figure 3-30 Alarm Indicator Wires Exiting Safety Cover
Step 8 Go to the "Connecting a Video Terminal to the PRE Console Port" section to continue the installation.
Connecting a Video Terminal to the PRE Console Port
The Cisco 10008 router PRE module has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled CON on its front panel. You can connect this port to most types of video terminals through use of the console cable kit that is included with your Cisco 10008 router. The console cable kit contains:
•One RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable
•One RJ-45 to DB-25 (female) adapter
•One RJ-45 to DB-9 (female) adapter
A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand, side-by-side, with the tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).
Use the following procedure to connect a video terminal to the console port on a PRE module.
Note Each PRE must have a console port connection (typically to a terminal server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.
Figure 3-31 Console Port Connection on the PRE Module
Step 1 Connect one end of the RJ-45 crossover cable to the serial RJ-45 port (CON) on the PRE module (Figure 3-31).
Step 2 Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the RJ-45 crossover cable to the RJ-45 adapter (Figure 3-32). If your terminal is equipped with a:
•DB-25 serial connector, use the RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter.
•DB-9 serial connector, use the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter.
Figure 3-32 Connecting an RJ-45-to-DB-9 Console Cable Adapter
Step 3 Connect the adapter to your video terminal to complete the cable connection.
Step 4 Power on your video terminal.
Step 5 Configure your video terminal to match the following default console port settings:
•9600 baud
•8 data bits
•No parity generation or checking
•1 stop bit
•No flow control
Step 6 Go to the "Connecting Network Management and Signal System Cables" section to continue the installation.
Connecting Network Management and Signal System Cables
The Cisco 10008 router has connections to both the internal Ethernet management network and the external data network.
•The internal Ethernet management network connections are made through an Ethernet port on the front panel of the PRE module.
•The external data network connections are made through DS3 connectors on the router's backplane, and through the front panel ports on several types of line cards.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when connecting external cables to the Cisco 10008 router:
•To reduce the chance of interference, avoid crossing high-power lines with any interface cables.
•Verify all cabling limitations (particularly distance) before powering on the system.
Ethernet Network Management Cable Connections
The PRE module provides an Ethernet port to a LAN for a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T connection for network management. Use the following procedures to connect the Cisco 10008 router to an Ethernet network.
Note Each PRE must have an Ethernet port connection (typically to the same Ethernet hub) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.
Connecting to a 10BASE-T Ethernet Network
To make this connection, you need the following additional equipment (not included):
•An Ethernet hub (such as a Cisco Micro Hub)
•An Ethernet cable that meets the following specifications:
–RJ-45 (male) to RJ-45 (male) straight-through cable
–100-ohm category 3, 4, or 5, no longer than 328 feet (100 meters)
You can identify a straight-through Ethernet cable either by using a cable tester or by making a visual inspection. To make a visual inspection, hold the two ends of a cable side by side, with the tab for each at the back.
•The wire connected to the left-most pin (pin 1) on one connector should be the same color as the wire connected to the left-most pin on the other connector.
•The same rule applies to pins 2 through 8 on each connector. The color of the wire attached to a pin on one connector should match the color of the wire attached to the corresponding pin on the other connector.
Follow these steps to connect the PRE to a 10BASE-T Ethernet LAN:
Figure 3-33 Connecting 10BASE-T to Ethernet Port
Step 1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the primary PRE, labeled ETH (Figure 3-33).
Step 2 Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to any unoccupied port on the Ethernet hub.
Step 3 Check the LNK (Link) LED on the PRE faceplate (next to the ETH) port.
This LED lights (green) if the PRE is correctly connected to the 10B2ASE-T Ethernet LAN.
Connecting to a 100BASE-T Ethernet Network
To make this connection, you need the following additional equipment (not included):
•An Ethernet hub (such as a Cisco Micro Hub)
•An Ethernet UTP cable that meets the following specifications:
–RJ-45 (male) to RJ-45 (male) straight-through cable.
–100-ohm category 5 cable not longer than 328 feet (100 meters). (Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP cables; these cables are available commercially.)

Caution If the Cisco 10008 router is used in an environment in which lightning-induced transients are likely to couple to the signal lines, use of shielded interconnection cables for the 100BASE-T ports is highly recommended. In addition, use of shielded interconnection cables for the 100BASE-T ports is required to meet Telcordia (formerly Bellcore) GR1089 CORE Section 4.5.9 and ETSI Section 5.2.2.2 (intrabuilding lightning surge).
The RJ-45 port on the PRE is configurable for 100-Mbps full-duplex or half-duplex operation (half-duplex is the default) and supports IEEE 802.3, Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3u interfaces compliant with 100BASE-T specifications.
Follow these steps to connect the PRE to a 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN:
Figure 3-34 Connecting 100BASE-T to Ethernet Port
Step 1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the primary PRE, labeled ETH (Figure 3-34).
Step 2 Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to any unoccupied port on the Ethernet hub.
Step 3 Check the LNK (Link) LED on the PRE (next to the ETH port).
This LED lights (green) if the PRE is correctly connected to the 10BASE-T Ethernet LAN.
Auxiliary Modem Connection
This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a modem to the PRE for remote administrative access. Use the following procedure to connect the Cisco 10008 router to a modem.
Figure 3-35 Connecting Modem Cable to Auxiliary Port
Step 1 Connect one end of the modem cable to the RJ-45 port on the primary PRE, labeled AUX (Figure 3-35).
Step 2 Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the cable to your modem.
