Note |
|
A periodic health check of the filter, every 3 months based on the level of dust in the environment helps in avoiding over clogging of the filters and provide better life. The product's filter may be used as a single use or reused depending upon the local deployment needs. If reuse of the filter is prohibited, it may be replaced every six months with PID (A907-FAN-F=) or equivalent.
The fan tray supports online insertion and removal (OIR). There is no need to power down the Cisco NCS 4216 to remove or replace the fan tray. However, the router will shut down if the fan tray is removed from the chassis for more than 90 seconds at 25º C due to thermal overload condition. Once the thermal overload condition is absent, the system attempts to power up automatically, if the Fan tray is re-inserted and the system temperature is within limits. Approximately at 25º C the system powers back in 2 minutes.
Note |
If a fan tray is removed and not replaced within the stipulated time the system will automatically power-off. If the system is powered with PSUs other than 900W DC or 1200W AC and if the system is powered off, then the system should be completely powered off for 30 seconds with all the PSU in the system simultaneously, and then turned on for the system to power on. |
Note |
Do not introduce body parts or objects in the fan tray slot when installing or removing the fan tray module. Exposed circuitry is an energy hazard. |
Caution |
The router can stay active for up to 60 seconds if the temperature is below the ambient limit. However, in the event of an overtemperature alarm, the router can shut down in less than 60 seconds. In the event of a critical temperature alarm, the router shuts down immediately. |
Caution |
To avoid erroneous failure messages, allow at least 2 minutes for the system to reinitialize after the fan tray has been removed or replaced. |
Follow these steps to remove and replace the fan tray on the Cisco NCS 4216:
| Step 1 |
Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or your fingers, loosen the captive installation screw that secures the fan tray to the chassis. The following figure shows the front of the fan tray, including the captive installation screws.

While pressing down, simultaneously close both the ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate. |
||||||
| Step 6 |
Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5 in.-lb (.62 N-m).
|
||||||
| Step 7 |
Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis. This step ensures that the EMI gaskets on all the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or replacement module.
|
Before you remove an RSP from the router, you should save the current configuration on a TFTP server or an external USB flash drive, using the copy running-config {ftp | tftp | bootflash: } command. This saves you time when bringing the module back online.
If the module is running Cisco IOS software, save the current running configuration by entering the copy running-config startup-config command.
Warning |
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034 |
Warning |

The Cisco NCS 4216 provides a feature that allows you to remove and replace a redundant RSP module without powering down the router. This feature, called hot-swapping or OIR, allows you to remove and replace a redundant module without disrupting router operation.
When two redundant modules are installed in the router, only one of the modules is active. The other one runs in standby mode, ready to take over processing if the active module fails.
When you remove or insert a redundant module while the router is powered on and running, the router does the following:
The router runs diagnostic tests on any new interfaces and the test results indicate the following:
Use the following guidelines when performing an OIR on an IM:
The sections describe the various tasks of associated with interface module installation on the Cisco NCS 4216:
| Step 1 |
Before inserting an interface module, make sure that the chassis is grounded. |
| Step 2 |
To insert the interface module, carefully align the edges of the interface module between the upper and lower edges of the router slot. |
| Step 3 |
Carefully slide the interface module into the router slot until the interface module makes contact with the backplane. The following figure shows how to install the interface module.  |
| Step 4 |
Tighten the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the interface module. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5 in.-lb (.62 N-m). |
| Step 5 |
Connect all the cables to each interface module. |
Caution |
Do not use interface module and power supply ejector handles to lift the chassis; using the handles to lift the chassis can deform or damage the handles. |
| Step 1 |
To remove an interface module, disconnect all the cables from each interface module. |
| Step 2 |
Loosen the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the interface module. |
| Step 3 |
Slide the interface module out of the router slot by pulling on the handles. If you are removing a blank filler plate, pull the blank filler plate completely out of the router slot using the captive screws. |
| Step 4 |
If the interface module slot is meant to be empty, then ensure that blank filler plates are installed in the respective slots. |
The Cisco NCS 4216 provides a feature that allows you to remove and replace an interface module without powering down the router. This feature, called hot-swapping or OIR, allows you to remove and replace a redundant module without disrupting router operation.
The Cisco NCS 4216 does not support hot-swapping an interface module with another module of a different type. For example, you cannot swap an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module with a copper Gigabit Ethernet module without disrupting router operation.
If you perform OIR on an interface module and move the module to a different slot, the router does not retain the module configuration; you must reconfigure the interface module.
Replacing a configured interface module with a different interface module in the same slot is not supported on the router.
Note |
Always refer to Interface Module compatibility matrix tables in the Data Sheet before you swap any IM. |

When using the Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port operates in auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity through the Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through cable and adapts to it.
However, when the Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10 or 100 Mbps) through command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to MDI mode.
When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:
Warning |
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the Management Ethernet ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring. |
The Cisco NCS 4216 supports a variety of SFP modules, including optical and Ethernet modules. For information on how to install and remove SFP modules, see the documentation for the SFP module at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/modules/ps5455/prod_installation_guides_list.html

The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring. |
Only Pins 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are available for customer use. The remaining pins are for Cisco manufacturing test, and should not be connected. Use a shielded cable for connection to this port for EMC protection. External Alarm Input Pinout table summarizes the pinouts on the alarm port in the Troubleshooting section.
| Step 1 |
Attach an RJ45 cable to the alarm port. |
| Step 2 |
Attach the other end of the RJ45 cable to the relay controller. |
