Note Read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Content Delivery Engine 100/200/300/400 document that came with your device before you begin the installation.
This section provides site requirements for the CDEs. You should verify the site power prior to installing the CDEs.
The CDEs have no user-serviceable parts inside their chassis. The only field-replaceable units are the AC and DC power supplies and hard disk drives.
Warning No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not open. Statement 1073
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when disk drives, electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. The following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•Connect the equipment end of the strap to a bare metal, unpainted surface on the rackmount.
•When removing or installing a component, use any available handles, ejector levers, or captive installation screws. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.
The CDEs are tested to the environmental specifications indicated in Table 2-1. All testing is performed per procedures defined in Bellcore GR-63-CORE NEBS Physical Protection and the Bellcore GR-1089-CORE EMC and Electrical Safety — Generic Criteria for Network Telecommunications Equipment.
Table 2-2 provides the physical dimensions of the CDEs.

•Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
•Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet environment.
•Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
•Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment.
•Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
•Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your service representative or local power company.
•Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
•To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
•Observe power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the power strip ampere ratings limit.
•Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your product.
•To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
•Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your system components' cables or power cord.
•Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications. Always follow your local or national wiring rules.
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the device. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your system's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
•When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
•When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
•Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
This section contains additional important safety information you should know before working with the CDEs.
See Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Content Delivery Engine 100/200/300/400 for product safety and EMC regulatory compliance information. This is an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Class A device.
This product was evaluated as Information Technology Equipment (ITE), which may be installed in Central Offices, Telecommunication Centers, Network Telecommunication Facilities, offices, schools, computer rooms, and similar commercial type locations where The National Electric Code (NEC) applies. The suitability of this product for other product categories and environments (medical, industrial, telecommunications, residential, alarm systems, test equipment, etc.), other than an ITE application, may require further evaluation.
When installing the CDEs, use the provided AC power cords.
Mains AC power disconnect: The AC power cord(s) is considered the mains disconnect for the server and must be readily accessible when installed. If the individual server power cord(s) will not be readily accessible for disconnection then you must install an AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire rack, not just to the server(s).
Grounding the rack installation: To avoid the potential for an electrical shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety ground conductor with the rack installation. If the server power cord is plugged into an AC outlet that is part of the rack, then you must provide proper grounding for the rack itself. If the server power cord is plugged into a wall AC outlet, the safety ground conductor in the power cord provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed in it. This system is intended for connection to a Common Bonding Network (CBN) as defined by NEBS GR-1089.
Overcurrent protection: The server is designed for an AC line voltage source with up to 20 amperes of overcurrent protection per cord feed. If the power system for the equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit with more than 20 amperes of protection, you must provide supplemental protection for the server. The overall current rating of a configured server is less than 6 amperes.
Connection with a DC (Direct Current) source should only be performed by trained service personnel. The server with DC input is to be installed in a Restricted Access Location in accordance with articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The DC source must be electrically isolated by double or reinforced insulation from any hazardous AC source. The DC source must be capable of providing up to 300 watts of continuous power per feed pair.
Mains DC power disconnect: You are responsible for installing a properly rated DC power disconnect for the server system. This mains disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the server. The circuit breaker of a centralized DC power system may be used as a disconnect device when easily accessible and should be rated no more than 10 amps.
Grounding the server: This server is intended for installation with an isolated DC return (DC-I) and is to be installed in a Common Bonding Network (CBN) per NEBS GR-1089. To avoid the potential for an electrical shock hazard, you must reliably connect an earth grounding conductor to the server. The earth grounding conductor must be #14 to #10 AWG connected to the earth ground stud(s) on the rear of the server. The safety ground conductor should be connected to the chassis stud with a Listed closed two-hole crimp terminal having 5/8-inch pitch. The nuts on the chassis earth ground studs should be installed with a 10 in-lb torque. The safety ground conductor provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed in it.
Overcurrent protection: Overcurrent protection circuit breakers must be provided as part of each host equipment rack and must be incorporated in the field wiring between the DC source and the server. The branch circuit protection shall be rated minimum 75Vdc, 10 A maximum per feed pair. If the DC power system for the equipment rack is installed with more than 10 amperes of protection, you must provide supplemental protection for the server. The overall current rating of a maximum configured server is 8 amperes.
Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than:
10 Amps Statement 1005
Warning When stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring terminations, such as closed-loop or spade-type with upturned lugs. These terminations should be the appropriate size for the wires and should clamp both the insulation and conductor. Statement 1002
