Note 
The cable guide is made of thick metal. Therefore a lower torque value must be applied to tighten the cable guide screws to avoid breakage.
Step 7

Repeat Step 5 and Step 6 to install the cable guide on the opposite side.

Install NCS 1002 on a Rack


Note

In a ANSI rack, NCS 1002 can be installed in the front or the middle position. In a ETSI rack, NCS 1002 can be installed only in the front position.

For a 4 post rack, install the two brackets to the rear together with the front brackets; For a 2 post rack, install the two brackets to the middle with the front brackets used to mount the cable management assembly.

Procedure

Step 1

Verify that the proper fuse panel has been installed in the top mounting space. If the fuse panel is not present, install one according to local practices.

Step 2

Ensure that NCS 1002 is mounted on the appropriate rack equipment:

  • 19 inches (482.6 mm) or 23 inches (584.2 mm) for ANSI racks

  • 600 x 600-mm (23.6 x 23.6-inch) or 600 x 300-mm (23.6 x 11.8-inch) for ETSI racks

Connect AC Power to NCS 1002


Caution

NCS 1002 relies on the protective devices in the building installation to protect against short circuit, overcurrent, and ground faults. Ensure that the protective devices comply with local and national electrical codes.

The voltage rating value for AC power ranges either between 200 V to 240 V or between 100 V to 115 V depending on the standards in various countries.

Caution

When the input voltage is 110 V, you cannot provision slice 2 and 3 as they are not detected. In this state, alarms are raised for slices 2 and 3.


Note

A dual pole breaker is needed for the installation. The rating of the dual pole breaker is 15A.

Procedure

Step 1

Verify that the AC cable is installed in the correct AC source panel. Ensure that either the fuse is removed or the circuit breaker is in the off position and locked out.

For an AC power supply, fuse or breaker rating must not exceed 15A.
Step 2

Power Supply Switch

A power supply switch on the rear side is used to completely shut down NCS 1002. The switch is set to ON by default. The switch is protected against accidental activation. A screw driver must be used to activate the switch. When the power supply switch is activated, the following happens.

  • Both the power supplies are stopped.
  • The PSU LEDs indicate Green (power input is available) and Blinking (system is ready but power supply is disabled).

If NCS 1002 does not boot even after connecting the power supply cables and supplying power, check the status of LEDs on the PSU modules. If the PSU LEDs indicate Green Blinking, the power supply switch is set to OFF. Set the switch to ON and ensure PSU LEDs indicate Green Solid.

Connect to the Console Ports

The system console port is an RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a data terminal to perform the initial configuration of NCS 1002. The console ports requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.

Follow this procedure to connect a data terminal to the console ports.

Procedure

Step 1

Set your terminal to these operational values: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (115200 8N1).

Step 2

Power off the data terminal.

Step 3

Attach the terminal end of the cable to the interface port on the data terminal.

Step 4

Attach the other end of the cable to the console port.

Connect to the Management Port

To connect cables to the RP management ports, attach Category 5 UTP cables directly to the MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 RJ-45 receptacles.

You can use the following RP management ports from R6.1.1:

  • ETH0 port—Attach Category 5 UTP cables directly to the MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 RJ-45 receptacles.

  • ETH1 port—Connect an SFP to the port.

You can verify the software mapping of the above management ports using the show ip interface command:

  • MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0 specifies ETH0

  • MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/1 specifies ETH1

To connect cables to the ETH0 RP management port:

Procedure

Step 1

Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.

Step 2

Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to a switch, hub, repeater, or other external equipment.

Orientation of CFP2 and QSFP Pluggables

When CFP2 and QSFP pluggables are inserted into the ports of NCS 1002, the orientation varies depending on insertion into upper cage (slices 0 and 1) or lower cage (slices 2 and 3). If the pluggable does not slide easily into the port slot, the orientation might be incorrect. Reorient the pluggable, if necessary.
