Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug.
Step 3 Use a crimping tool to secure the grounding wire in place in the grounding lug.
Step 4 Locate and remove the adhesive label from the system grounding pad on the Cisco 7609 chassis.
Step 5 Place the grounding wire lug against the grounding pad, making sure there is good metal-to-metal contact.
Step 6 Secure the grounding lug to the chassis with two M4 screws. Ensure that the grounding lug will not interfere with other Cisco 7609 hardware or rack equipment.
Step 7 Prepare the other end of the grounding wire and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure adequate earth ground for the Cisco 7609 Internet Router.
Installing the Power Supplies in the Cisco 7609 Chassis
The Cisco 7609 Internet Router power supply (AC or DC) is shipped separately from the chassis. Remove the power supply from its shipping packaging. Install and connect it to the site power by referring to the "Installing an AC-Input Power Supply" section or the "Installing a DC-Input Power Supply" section.
Attaching the Interface Cables
This section provides general information on attaching interface cables to the supervisor engines and to the modules.
Depending on the modules you have installed in your chassis, you will have different styles of connectors to attach.
Note Refer to the Cisco 7600 Series Internet Router Module Installation Guide for additional module information.
Connecting the Supervisor Engine Console Port
This section describes how to connect to the supervisor engine console port from a terminal or modem.
The console port on the supervisor engine allows you to perform the following functions:
•Configure the Cisco 7609 Internet Router from the CLI
•Monitor network statistics and errors
•Configure SNMP agent parameters
•Download software updates to the Cisco 7609 Internet Router or distribute software images residing in Flash memory to attached devices
The console port, located on the front panel of the supervisor engine, is shown in Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7 Supervisor Engine Console Port Connector
Note The accessory kit that shipped with your Cisco 7609 Internet Router contains the necessary cable and adapters to connect a terminal or modem to the console port.
To connect a terminal to the console port using the cable and adapters provided, perform these steps:
Step 1 Place the console port mode switch in the in position (factory default).
Step 2 Connect to the port using the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable and RJ-45-to-DB-25 DTE adapter or RJ-45-to-DB-9 DTE adapter (labeled "Terminal").
Step 3 Position the cable in the cable guide (if installed). Make sure that there are no sharp bends in the cable.
Step 4 Check the terminal documentation to determine the baud rate. The baud rate of the terminal must match the default baud rate (9600 baud) of the console port. Set up the terminal as follows:
•9600 baud
•8 data bits
•No parity
•2 stop bits
To connect a terminal using a Catalyst 5000 family Supervisor Engine III console cable, perform these steps:
Step 1 Place the console port mode switch in the out position.
Step 2 Connect to the port using the Supervisor Engine III cable and the appropriate adapter for the terminal connection.
Step 3 Position the cable in the cable guide (if installed). Make sure there are no sharp bends in the cable.
Step 4 Check the terminal documentation to determine the baud rate. The baud rate of the terminal must match the default baud rate (9600 baud) of the console port. Set up the terminal as follows:
•9600 baud
•8 data bits
•No parity
•2 stop bits
To connect a modem to the console port, perform these steps:
Step 1 Place the console port mode switch in the in position.
Step 2 Connect to the port using the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and the RJ-45-to-DB-25 DCE adapter (labeled "Modem").
Step 3 Position the cable in the cable guide (if installed). Make sure there are no sharp bends in the cable.
Connecting the Supervisor Engine Uplink Ports
This section describes how to connect to the supervisor engine uplink ports.
Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.
Note In a redundant configuration with two supervisor engines, the uplink ports on the redundant (standby) supervisor engine are active and can be used for normal traffic, like any other ports in the chassis.
To connect to the supervisor engine uplink ports, perform these steps:
Step 1 Remove the plugs from the Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) optical bores; store them for future use.
Step 2 Remove the plugs from the SC-type connector on the fiber-optic cable. Insert the connector into the GBIC. (See Figure 3-8.)
Figure 3-8 Connecting the Supervisor Engine Uplink Ports
Note When you plug the SC-type connector into the GBIC, make sure that both the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) fiber-optic cables are fully inserted into the SC-type connector.
Note If you are using the LX/LH GBIC with MMF, you need to install a patch cord between the GBIC and the MMF cable.
Connecting to the Interface Ports
Note For connector specifications, see "Connector and Cable Specifications."
The Optical Services Modules (OSMs) and supported Catalyst 6000 family modules have the following interface ports:
•OC-3 POS, OC-12 POS, OC-48 POS, and OC-12 ATM OSMs—SC-Type Fiber Optic (See Figure 3-9.)
•Channelized OC-12 and OC-48 OSMs—LC fiber-optic connectors (See Figure 3-10.)

Verifying Cisco 7609 Chassis Installation
After you finish connecting the modules, you need to verify that the modules, power supplies, and fan assembly are correctly and securely installed. To verify the Cisco 7609 chassis installation, perform these steps:
Step 1 Verify that the ejector levers of each module are fully closed (parallel to the faceplate) to ensure that the supervisor engine and all modules are fully seated in the backplane connectors.
Step 2 Check the captive installation screws of each module, the power supply, and the fan assembly. Tighten any loose captive installation screws.
Step 3 Verify that all empty module slots have blank faceplates (WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) installed and that the screws holding the plates in place are tight.
Step 4 Turn on the power supply switches to power up the system.
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain EMI that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all modules, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
