Installation Procedures

The following sections detail the installation procedures for a Cisco 6130 with a POTS splitter configuration.

Stabilize and Measure Rack Space

For the rack to remain stable, you must install your Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system from the bottom to the top of the rack. Before you install any of the chassis, measure the total rack space required to install your system. The required rack space depends on the number of Cisco 6130 chassis, fan trays, and POTS splitters you plan to use. The number of chassis and required fan trays increase if you plan to install a subtended network.

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

---

Note    A system configuration using quad-port line cards requires a POTS splitter capacity of 128 subscriber ports. Each Cisco 6120 POTS splitter supports up to 64 subscribers. Depending on the POTS splitter selected for your configuration (Cisco 6120 or third-party), the installation of an additional POTS splitter may be necessary.

---

The Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system fits in a 23-inch wide rack. See Table 2-2 for individual rack space requirements. Allow 1 rack unit (RU) of space between the fan tray and the POTS splitter. This space allows for the intake plenum and for cabling back to front for the NI-2 card.

Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: —This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack. —When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack. —If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

If you plan to expand your system to include more chassis in the future, allow space in the rack for additions during the initial installation, keeping in mind the weight distribution and stability of the rack.

Install the POTS Splitter

You can use the following POTS splitters in a Cisco 6130 with POTS splitter configuration:

The following sections detail the installation procedures for each POTS splitter.

Install the Cisco 6120

Complete the following steps to install the Cisco 6120 in the rack.

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.

Note   The Cisco 6120 chassis ships with a retaining bar in place. Verify that the retaining bar is secure before lifting the chassis. The retaining bar prevents the cards from falling out of the chassis.

Step 2   Position one Cisco 6120, which occupies 4 RUs of space, at the bottom of the rack.

The Cisco 6120 does not dissipate heat; therefore, the bottom of the rack is the best location for the Cisco 6120.

Step 3   Use four mounting screws and a Phillips-head screwdriver to bolt the Cisco 6120 in the rack.

Step 4   Remove the two screws holding the retaining bar in place, and discard the retaining bar.

Caution   Installing the cards in the chassis with the power leads reversed can damage the cards.

Warning The power supply circuitry for the Cisco DSLAM equipment can constitute an energy hazard. Before you install or replace the equipment, remove all jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects can come into contact with exposed power supply wiring or circuitry inside the DSLAM equipment. This could cause the metal objects to heat up and cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the equipment.

Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a card or a fan. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard.

Note   All cards must be fully seated in the chassis. A push on the faceplate of each card is required for the card to be fully seated.

Complete the following steps to install a NI-2 card in the Cisco 6130. It is important that you accomplish each step completely before moving on to the next step.

Note   Primary and secondary are terms related to redundancy. The primary NI-2 card is installed in slot 10 of the Cisco 6130 chassis. If NI-2 card redundancy is desired, a secondary NI-2 card must also be installed in slot 11.

Step 2   Verify that slot 10 or slot 11 of the Cisco 6130 chassis has no bent pins.

Step 3   Vertically align the card edge with the top and bottom guides of the chassis slot.

Figure 3-25 shows the NI-2 card installation in slot 10 of a Cisco 6130 chassis, but the installation procedure for installing an NI-2 card in slot 11 is the same.

Step 4   Lift up on the locking levers and gently apply pressure to the bottom of the faceplate while pushing the card into the slot.

Step 5   Push on the faceplate of the card to fully seat it.

Step 6   Press down on the locking levers to secure the card and connect it to the backplane.

Step 7   Lock both NI-2 card locking tabs.

Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the locking tabs so that they overlap the locking levers to prevent inadvertent dislodging, as shown in Figure 3-26.

Step 8   Perform a software update if the STATUS LED on the NI-2 card is flashing. Refer to the Configuration Guide for Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2 for software upgrade procedures.

Step 9   Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 for each NI-2 card.

Reseat the Line Cards

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.

If you pulled the line cards away from the Cisco 6130 chassis backplane in the "Pull Away All Line Cards" section, reseat the line cards to verify the power connection. If the Cisco 6130 chassis was shipped without line cards installed, proceed to the "Install the Line Cards in the Cisco 6130 and POTS Splitter" section.

Complete the following steps to reseat all of the line cards. It is important that you accomplish each step completely before moving on to the next step.

Note   All line cards must be fully seated in the chassis. A push on the faceplate of each line card is required for the line card to be fully seated.

Step 2   Push on the faceplate of each line card to fully seat the line card.

Step 3   Press down on the locking lever to secure the line card and it to the backplane.

Step 4   Lock any xTU-C line cards.

Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the locking tab so that it overlaps the xTU-C line card locking lever to prevent inadvertent dislodging. Figure 3-22 shows how to position the locking tab.

Step 5   Verify that the STATUS LEDs on all line cards are solid green (where applicable).

This self-test procedure takes several minutes. If the STATUS LEDs are not green after the self-test, see "Troubleshooting" for troubleshooting procedures.

Step 6   Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for each xTU-C line card.

Install the Line Cards in the Cisco 6130 and POTS Splitter

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.

If the Cisco 6120 or Cisco 6130 chassis ships without any cards installed in the chassis, install the cards in the following order to verify the power connection:

Warning The power supply circuitry for the Cisco DSLAM equipment can constitute an energy hazard. Before you install or replace the equipment, remove all jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects can come into contact with exposed power supply wiring or circuitry inside the DSLAM equipment. This could cause the metal objects to heat up and cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the equipment.

Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a line card or a fan module. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard.

Caution   Installing the cards in the chassis with the power leads reversed can damage the cards.

Note   All line cards must be fully seated in the chassis. A push on the faceplate of each line card is required for the line card to be fully seated.

To install all of the cards, complete the following steps. It is important that you accomplish each step completely before moving on to the next step.

---

Note    The xTU-C line cards are installed in slots 1 through 8, 13 through 28, and 31 through 38.

---

Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the locking tab so that it overlaps the locking lever to prevent inadvertent dislodging. Figure 3-22 shows how to position the locking tab.

Step 2   Install the POTS splitter cards in the Cisco 6120.

---

Note    The POTS cards are installed in slots 1 through 10 and 13 through 22 of the Cisco 6120.

---

---

Note    Refer to the appropriate vendor documentation for POTS splitter card installation procedures for the third-party POTS splitter.

---

Step 3   Verify that the STATUS LEDs on all line cards are solid green (where applicable).

This self-test procedure takes several minutes. If the STATUS LEDs are not green after the self-test, see "Troubleshooting" for troubleshooting procedures.

Note   Blank faceplates should occupy any empty slots in the Cisco 6130. The blank faceplate installation is similar to the line card installation.

Connect the NI-2 Card to the Network

This section provides installation procedures for the DS3 and OC-3c network connections:

DS3 Network Connection Installation

Complete the following steps to connect the DS3/2DS3 NI-2 card to the network:

The DS3/2DS3 NI-2 network connections are on the system I/O card, which is located on the backplane of the Cisco 6130 chassis. These connections attach to the ATM switch. Two 75-ohm DS3 Bayonet-Neill-Concelman (BNC) connectors are provided for DS3 transmit (J14) and receive (J12). See Figure 3-27 for the location of the DS3 BNC connectors.

Step 2   Attach one end of a coaxial cable (type 734A, type 735A, or equivalent) to the transmit DS3 BNC connector (J14) on the system I/O card on the chassis backplane.

Step 3   Attach the end of the cable that you used in Step 2, which originates at the transmit DS3 BNC connector, to the ATM switch.

Step 4   Attach one end of a coaxial cable (type 734A, type 735A, or equivalent) to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J12) on the system I/O card on the Cisco 6130 backplane.

Step 5   Attach the end of the cable that you used in Step 4, which originates at the receive DS3 BNC connector, to the ATM switch.

Step 6   If you are installing a secondary DS3/2DS3 NI-2 card (for cold redundancy) in slot 11, repeat Step 2 through Step 5 to connect the secondary NI-2 card to the network.

Note   A DS3/2DS3 NI-2 card does not support APS redundancy.

OC-3c/OC-3c Network Connection Installation

Complete the following steps to connect the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card to the network:

Warning Do not stare into the beam or view it directly with optical instruments.

Note   If the active NI-2 card fails, the standby NI-2 card is able to use the OC-3c connections to and from the failed card (not applicable to DS3/2DS3 interfaces). Cisco recommends, however, that you also cable a network connection to the ATM switch from the secondary NI-2 card in slot 11 in order to take advantage of SONET APS redundancy.

Step 2   Pull the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card transmit and receive fiber-optic cables from the ATM switch through the 1 RU of space between the fan tray and the POTS splitter.

Step 3   Attach the receive cable from the ATM switch to the transmit connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card (trunk 1 interface connector TX). See Figure 3-28 for the OC-3c network interface connection location.

The transmit connector is the one closest to the top of the faceplate. The receive connector is closest to the bottom of the faceplate. The connector IDs are silkscreened inside the inset.

Step 4   Attach the transmit cable from the ATM switch to the receive connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card (trunk 1 interface connector RX). See Figure 3-28 for the OC-3c network interface connection location.

Step 5   Allow enough slack in the cable so that the fan tray can be opened and the fan modules can be maintained.

Step 6   Coil the fiber loosely within the 1 RU of space to take out slack.

Step 7   If you are installing a secondary OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card (for redundancy) in slot 11, repeat Step 2 through Step 6 to connect the secondary card to the network.

Install a Subtended Network Configuration

If you are installing a subtended network with subtended node chassis to a subtending host chassis, complete the steps in the following sections. The following sections provide installation procedures for the DS3 and OC-3c subtended network configuration:

If you are not installing a subtended network, proceed to the "Connect the Ethernet to the Management Network" section.

Note   For information on a subtended network configuration, see the "Subtended Network Configuration" section on.

Cable the DS3 Subtending Network Configuration

Coaxial connections for DS3 cabling are located on the system I/O card. The transmit and receive DS3 BNC connectors on the subtending host chassis system I/O card are connected to the transmit and receive DS3 BNC connectors on the subtended node chassis system I/O card.

Note   The system I/O card BNC cables are not provided by Cisco.

Complete the following steps to cable the system I/O card for subtending:

Step 2   On the first subtended node chassis backplane, attach the end of the BNC cable used in Step 1 to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J12) on the system I/O card.

Step 3   On the subtending host chassis backplane, attach one end of a BNC cable to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J8) on the system I/O card.

Step 4   On the first subtended node chassis backplane, attach the end of the BNC cable used in Step 3 to the transmit DS3 BNC connector (J14) on the system I/O card.

Step 5   On the subtending host chassis backplane, attach one end of a BNC cable to the transmit DS3 BNC connector (J6) on the system I/O card.

Step 6   On the second subtended node chassis backplane, attach the end of the BNC cable used in Step 5 to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J12) on the system I/O card.

Step 7   On the subtending host chassis backplane, attach one end of a BNC cable to the receive DS3 BNC connector (J4) on the system I/O card.

Step 8   On the second subtended node chassis backplane, attach the end of the BNC cable used in Step 7 to the transmit DS3 BNC connector (J14) on the system I/O card.

Figure 3-29 shows the cabling for a DS3 subtending network configuration.

Cable the OC-3c Subtending Network Configuration

For OC-3c subtending, the connections are made from the front of the subtending host chassis and the subtended node chassis. To cable the Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system for OC-3c subtending, complete the following steps:

Step 2   Attach an OC-3c fiber-optic cable to the transmit (TX) subtend 2 interface connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card in the subtending host chassis.

Step 3   Attach the other end of the cable that you used in Step 2 to the receive (RX) trunk 1 interface connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card in the subtended node chassis.

Step 4   Attach an OC-3c fiber-optic cable to the receive (RX) subtend 2 interface connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card in the subtending host chassis.

Step 5   Attach the other end of the cable that you used in Step 4 to the transmit (TX) trunk 1 interface connector in the inset on the faceplate of the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card in the subtended node chassis.

Figure 3-30 shows the network and subtending connections between two Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system chassis. The connections from slot 10 are for the primary NI-2 card.

Step 6   Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for the secondary NI-2 card.

Figure 3-30 shows the network and subtending connections between two Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system chassis. The connections from slot 11 are for the secondary NI-2 card.

Connect the Ethernet to the Management Network

Connect the 10BaseT RJ-45 receptacle connector on the NI-2 card (ENET) to the management network (for example, LAN). Figure 3-31 shows where to connect the Ethernet cable.

Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.

Tip Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.

Connect a Console Terminal

Connect a VT100-compatible terminal to the system console port on the NI-2 card (CNSL). Connect the terminal to a power source and set it up using the values that are shown in Table 3-4. Figure 3-31 shows where to connect the console cable.

Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are SELV circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the TNV circuits.

Connect the Auxiliary Port

Note   This step is optional.

Connect a terminal, a modem, or another serial device to the RJ-45 auxiliary port on the NI-2 card (AUX). Figure 3-31 shows where to connect the auxiliary cable.

Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are SELV circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the TNV circuits.

Tip Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.

Close the Cisco 6130 Front Cover

Verify that the Cisco 6130 front cover is attached to the chassis and closed (see Figure 3-32).

Close the Rear Cover

Complete the following steps to close the optional rear cover:

Step 2   Release the latches after the rear cover is in place.

Step 3   Align the two thumbscrews that are located on the rear cover with two thumbscrew fasteners on the bracket (see Figure 3-34). Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the rear cover.

Step 4   Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for additional Cisco 6130 chassis rear cover.

Complete Initial Configuration

When you turn on the Cisco 6130 system for the first time, an interactive dialog called the System Configuration Dialog appears on the console screen. The System Configuration Dialog guides you through the initial configuration process. (You can run the dialog at any time by entering the setup command in privileged EXEC mode.)

When you complete the dialog, the system displays the configuration command script that you have created. It then offers you three options:

If you enter 2, the configuration is saved and used. If you answer 0 or 1, the configuration you created is not saved. Enter 1 if you wish to discard the configuration and restart the System Configuration Dialog.

Before You Begin

Complete these steps before you run the System Configuration Dialog:

Step 2   If you plan to configure in-band management, also determine the IP address for the ATM interface that will be used for in-band management (ATM0/0).

Step 3   Find out what the password strategy is for your environment. The System Configuration Dialog prompts you for three passwords, plus an SNMP community string. The three required password types are enable secret, enable, and virtual terminal.

Step 4   Choose a name for the Cisco 6130 system. (This step is optional.)

Using the System Configuration Dialog

When you power up a Cisco 6130 system for the first time, you are offered the option of running the System Configuration Dialog. The System Configuration Dialog offers two configuration options: basic management setup and extended setup.

An example of the use of each option follows the "Interface Numbering" section. In each example, an arrow marks the point in the dialog where basic management setup and extended setup diverge.

Interface Numbering

The System Configuration Dialog and the command line interface use the following interface numbering scheme:

For line card interfaces, the number before the slash indicates the slot number. The number after the slash indicates the interface or port number. For example, ATM6/4 is slot 6, port 4.

Basic Management Setup Example

This is the basic management setup example:

Extended Setup Example

This is the extended setup example:

Note   To configure your system, refer to the appropriate software or network management configuration guides.
