Prepare Yourself

This section illustrates how to prepare yourself before removing the chassis from the sealed antistatic bag. The figures show how to cuff the ESD strap around the wrist and the ground cord that connects the cuff to the ground. ESD wrist straps are the primary means of controlling static charge on personnel.

Figure 2. Wearing the ESD Strap

Prepare Rack for Chassis Installation

Install the Cisco 8100 Series Routers on a standard 19 inch, Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) rack with mounting rails that conform to English universal hole spacing according to Section 1 of the ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992 standard.


Note

The Cisco 8102-64H-O, Cisco 8122-64EH-O and Cisco 8111-32EH-O, and Cisco 8102-28FH-DPU-O router rack mount kit contains the rack mounting brackets for 19-inch rack. To install the chassis in a 23-inch rack or an ETSI rack, you need adapter plates to accommodate the 19-inch rack mount brackets.

The spacing between the posts of the rack must be (EIA-310-D-1992 19-inch rack compatible) wide enough to accommodate the width of the chassis.

Before you move the chassis or mount the chassis into the rack, we recommend that you do the following:

Procedure

Step 1

Place the rack at the location where you plan to install the chassis.

Step 2

(Optional) Secure the rack to the floor.

To bolt the rack to the floor, a floor bolt kit (also called an anchor embedment kit) is required. For information on bolting the rack to the floor, consult a company that specializes in floor mounting kits (such as Hilti; see Hilti.com for details). Make sure that floor mounting bolts are accessible, especially if annual retorquing of bolts is required.

Note

 

Ensure that the rack in which the chassis is being installed is grounded to earth ground.

Clearance Requirements

The chassis requires front-to-back airflow. Leave at least 6.0 in. (15.24 cm) front and rear clearance for air intake or exhaust. We recommend that you have at least 6.0 in. (15.24 cm) of space in front of the chassis to provide room to maneuver the cables to make the required connections. Leave an extra 6.0 in. (15.24 cm) rear clearance for removal and installation of power supplies and fan modules.
