Warning

Rack Mount Instructions

The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation instructions:

  • Elevated Operating Ambient—If installed in a closed or multirack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified.

  • Reduced Air Flow—Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

  • Mechanical Loading—Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

  • Circuit Overloading—Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

  • Reliable Earthing—Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

It is mandatory to fix the fiber management brackets for all the cards in the chassis before installing the Cisco NCS 1004 chassis onto the rack. See Attach Fiber Management Bracket section for the detailed procedure.

Figure 6. Filler Cards fitted with Fiber Management Bracket

Note

In ETSI racks, to maintain a footprint of 600 mm, the cabinet door cannot be installed and the horizontal bar of the fiber management bracket should be maintained at the shortest length. See Adjusting the Fiber Management Bracket.


Caution

The sliding rail must be used only for first chassis positioning. The chassis must be fixed with screws on the front side.


Caution

Use only the fastening hardware provided with Cisco NCS 1004 to prevent loosening, deterioration, and electromechanical corrosion of the hardware and joined material.

General Power and Grounding Requirements

General power and grounding requirements are:

  • Installation of the routing system must follow national and local electrical codes:

    • In the United States: United States National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 and United States National Electrical Code (NEC).

    • In Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1.

    • In other countries: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60364, parts 1 through 7.

  • Two separate and independent AC or DC power sources are needed to provide 2N redundancy for system power. Each power source requires its own circuit breaker.

  • Each power source must provide clean power to the site. If necessary, install a power conditioner.

  • The site must provide short-circuit (over-current) protection for devices.

  • Proper grounding is required at the site to ensure that equipment is not damaged by lightning and power surges.


    Note

    Ground lug connection is mandatory for the AC chassis version too.

  • Site power planning must include the power requirements for any external terminals and test equipment you will use with your system.


Note
Be sure to review the safety warnings in the Cisco Network Convergence System Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Network Convergence System 1004 before attempting to install the chassis.

Ground NCS 1004

This task provides the grounding details for the NCS 1004 chassis. In the installation of the chassis, ground lug should be connected first.

There is one grounding point provided at the rear side of the NCS 1004 chassis. The following warning label is affixed on the chassis.


Warning

High leakage current, earth connection essential before connecting supply.


Caution

When terminating the frame ground, do not use soldering lug connectors, screwless (push-in) connectors, quick connect connectors, or other friction-fit connectors.

Procedure

Step 1

Verify that the office ground cable is connected to the top of the rack and the office ground, according to local site practice.

Step 2

Remove any paint and other nonconductive coatings from the surfaces between the shelf ground and bay frame ground point. Clean the mating surfaces and apply appropriate antioxidant compound to the bare conductors.

Step 3

Attach one end of the shelf ground cable (#6 AWG cable) to the ground point using the specified dual-hole lug connector.

Screws used for the lug

The orientation of the lug cable is always at the bottom side.

For ETSI racks, 180-degree lugs are used to maintain the chassis footprint of 600 mm.

Note

 

Ensure a gap of 50 mm below the chassis for routing the cables.

Step 4

Tighten the M5 pan-head screw (48-1169-01) to a torque value of 3.1 N-m.

Step 5

Attach the other end of the shelf ground cable to the bay frame using a dual-hole lug connector according to the equipment rack frame specifications.

Power Supply

The NCS 1004 has two slots for 2.1kW AC redundant Power Supply Units (PSU). Both the PSUs must be installed in the chassis at all times, except during replacement. When only one PSU is inserted in the chassis, the Power Module Redundancy Lost major alarm is raised.

PSU power de-rating and option table , including ambient temperature details are here. The power details are for input power.

  • AC high voltage range input - 2100 W upto 40-degree C for 1 PSU; 2100 W upto 55-degree C for 2 PSUs (for a short duration, as specified by Telcordia GR-63-Core).

  • AC low voltage range input - 1300 W upto 40-degree C for 1 PSU; 1300 W upto 55-degree C for 2 PSUs (for a short duration, as specified by Telcordia GR-63-Core).

  • DC power supply - 2100 W upto 40-degree C for 1 PSU; 2100 W upto 55-degree C for 2 PSUs (for a short duration, as specified by Telcordia GR-63-Core).


Caution

The NCS 1004 chassis needs to have both the PSUs at all times. In case, one of the PSUs is not energized (due to a fault or missing mains), ensure that the system works at an ambient temperature of not more than 40 C.

For DC-DC (2000W @12Vout)

  • Input Voltage Rating = -48Vdc / -60Vdc

  • Max. Input current @48Vdc = 44A

  • Input Voltage range = 40.5 Vdc – 72 Vdc (operating)

  • Input turn ON Voltage = -42 Vdc max

  • Recommended FUSE rating = 60A max. per feed

For the AC-DC (2000W (HL) / 1300W (LL) @12Vout)

  • Input Low Line (LL) Nominal voltage = 100Vac – 127Vac

  • Input High Line (HL) Nominal voltage = 200Vac – 240Vac

  • Max Input current @100Vac = 15A

  • Max Input current @200Vac = 12A

  • Input frequency rating = 50/ 60 Hz

  • Input LL voltage range = 90Vac - 140 Vac

  • Input HL voltage range = 180Vac - 264 Vac

  • Input frequency range = 47Hz – 63Hz (nominal 50/60Hz)

  • Input turn ON voltage = 80Vac / 175 Vac (LL/ HL)

  • Recommended FUSE (HL) = 16A

  • Recommended FUSE (LL) = 20A

For the trip time response, the breaker trip curve may be "D" or faster.
