Maintaining Safety with Electricity

Follow these guidelines when working on equipment that is powered by electricity:

  • Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off the power.
  • Disconnect all power by removing the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel before:
    • Installing or removing a chassis
    • Working near power supplies
  • Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
  • Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the circuit.
  • Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.
  • If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
    • Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
    • Turn off power to the system.
    • If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim and then call for help.
    • Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then, take appropriate action.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco equipment. ESD damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Use an antistatic strap during handling.

Follow these guidelines to prevent ESD damage:

  • Always use an ESD ankle or wrist strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
  • Connect the equipment end of the strap to the ESD jack on the front right side of the chassis.
  • When you install a component, use available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.
  • When you remove a component, use available ejector levers or captive installation screws to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
  • Handle the system I/O card by the edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.
  • Avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors on the NI-2 cards or line cards.
  • Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding container.
  • Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap protects components from ESD voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Caution   Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. Ensure that the measurement is between 1 and 10 megohms.

General Maintenance Guidelines

This section covers the following topics:

Hot Swapping Cards

Hot swapping allows you to remove and replace cards without disconnecting the system power. The Cisco 6130 chassis supports hot swapping for the following cards:

  • Quad-port Discrete Multitone (DMT) ATU-C line card (4xDMT), quad-port flexi ATU-C line card (4xflexi), or quad-port STU-C line card (4xSDSL)—These line cards can be hot swapped. When the system detects that you have added or removed a line card, it automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines and acknowledges the presence or absence of the line card. Hot swapping a line card will interrupt service for the subscribers assigned to that particular line card until the card is replaced.

If you remove a line card and replace it with the same type of line card, the newly installed line card receives the same provisioning as the original line card. The system resumes operation without any operator intervention.

If an unprovisioned line card is installed for the first time, the system identifies it as present but unprovisioned. Instructions for provisioning the line card are found in the appropriate software guide for your chassis.

  • DS3/2DS3 or OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card—Hot swapping the NI-2 card will interrupt service for the entire system until the NI-2 card is replaced.

Installation and Replacement Suggestions

The following bullets list examples of recommended installation and replacement practices for the Cisco 6130 system cards.

Caution   Any card that is only partially connected to the backplane can disrupt system operation.
  • Do not force the card into or onto the chassis backplane connectors. This action can damage the pins on the connectors if they are not aligned properly with the card.
  • Do not force the line card into its slot. This action can damage the pins on the backplane if they are not aligned properly with the line card.
  • Ensure that the system I/O card is straight and parallel to the chassis backplane when you install the card onto the connectors. The pins on the connectors can be damaged if the card is not installed correctly.
  • Ensure that the card is straight and not at an angle when you install the card in the slot. Installing the card at an angle can damage the card. Use the guide rails to install the card correctly.
  • Fully depress the ejector tabs to ensure that the card connector mates with the backplane correctly. Firmly seat the card in the slot by locking the card.

Site Requirements

This section describes requirements for the site where the Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system will be installed. Before you install the Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system, ensure that all the criteria in this section are met. The section describes the following:

Environmental Requirements

Proper operation of the Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system depends on a proper environment. This section describes environmental requirements for the site where you will install the Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system. The section describes the following requirements:

Temperature, Altitude, and Humidity

5 to 90% (noncondensing)
Warning To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).

Ventilation

The following practices ensure proper ventilation for the Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system:

  • Chassis placement—Leave 1 rack unit (RU) of space under the fan tray. The space is for the intake plenum and for the pass-through cables to the NI-2 card.
  • Fan tray installation—A fan tray must be installed under each Cisco 6130 chassis.
  • POTS splitter location—The POTS splitters do not dissipate heat and should be positioned at the bottom of the rack.

Space

You can install a combination of the following Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system components in a 7-foot rack:

  • Cisco 6130 chassis—Maximum of two chassis are allowed per rack
  • POTS splitter (Cisco 6120 or other third-party POTS splitter)—Required in a Cisco 6130 with a POTS splitter configuration only
  • Fan tray—Required under each Cisco 6130 chassis

The Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system fits in a 23-inch wide rack. See Table 2-2 for individual rack space requirements.

Power

The central office (CO) power source or rectifier supplies external power to the system as -48V DC from the fuse and alarm panel. Power connections from the fuse and alarm panel are wired separately to the Cisco 6130 chassis and the fan tray. Connections for single- and dual-power feeds are provided. The power input connections are redundant, and only one is absolutely necessary for system operation. The nominal voltage is -48V DC; the minimum operating value is -36V DC; and the maximum operating value is -60V DC.

Before you connect the system to a power source, verify that the power source is properly grounded and that it falls within the internal power supply rating.

Depending on your configuration type, calculate the typical power required for each Cisco 6130 system component. After you calculate the typical power, determine the minimum fuse value for each component that is wired to the fuse and alarm panel. Use Table 2-4 to calculate the minimum fuse rating that is necessary for each of your Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system components.

Note   The power rating label that is supplied on the rear of each chassis and fan tray indicates the maximum fuse value for the chassis or the fan tray.

Note   The Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system has no internal user-serviceable parts. However, you can add or remove a line card or a fan module without removing power from the system. This action is called hot swapping. See the "Hot-Swappable FRUs" section 5-2 for more information.

Unpacking the Cisco 6130 System

Each Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system chassis is securely packaged in a shipping box. The Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system components ship either:

  • With the line cards installed in the chassis and any additional line cards packaged separately.
  • Without the line cards installed in the chassis. Each line card is individually packaged in its own antistatic carrier.

The line card antistatic carriers ship together in a box. The NI-2 card is packed in its own antistatic bag, which is housed in foam inserts and shipped in a separate box.

Caution   Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Cards are subject to ESD damage whenever they are removed from the chassis.

To unpack the Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system, complete the following steps:

Step 1   Inspect the packing containers. If any damage or other signs of mishandling are evident, inform both the local freight carrier and Cisco before unpacking. Your freight carrier can provide you with the procedures necessary to file a claim for damages.

Step 2   Carefully open the box.

Step 3   Remove all packing material.

Step 4   Remove the chassis from the box.

Warning Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.

Step 5   Carefully open the additional boxes, remove the packing material, and remove the cards.

Step 6   Open the accessory kits and boxes that contain the cables, ferrites, documentation, and management software. Do not use a knife to open these boxes.
