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 1014 before attempting to install the chassis.

Ground the Cisco NCS 1014 Chassis

Use this task to ground the Cisco NCS 1014 chassis. In the installation of the chassis, connect the ground lug first.

The NCS 1014 chassis has one grounding point at the front. 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.

Before you begin

Install the Air Filter before installing the ground lug onto the Cisco NCS 1014 chassis. See Install the Air Filter.

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 ground cable (no. 6 AWG cable) dual-hole lug connector.

Step 4

Align the dual-hole ground lug to the chassis ground point.

Step 5

Step 6

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

Install the Cisco NCS 1014 Chassis on an EIA/ANSI/ETSI Rack

Use this procedure to mount the Cisco NCS 1014 chassis on an EIA/ANSI/ETSI rack.


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 you install the Cisco NCS 1014 chassis onto the rack. See Attach Fiber Management Bracket section for the detailed procedure.
Figure 6. Line Cards fitted with Fiber Management Bracket
This image displays the Cisco NCS 1014 2.4T cards with fiber management brackets.

Note

In ETSI racks, to maintain a footprint of 600 mm, do not install the cabinet door and maintain the horizontal bar of the fiber management bracket at the shortest length. See Adjusting the Fiber Management Bracket.


Caution

Use the sliding rail only for first chassis positioning. You must fix the chassis with screws on the front side.

Caution

Use only the fastening hardware provided with Cisco NCS 1014 to prevent loosening, deterioration, and electromechanical corrosion of the hardware and joined material.

Before you begin

Ensure that the rack is compatible. See the Rack Compatibility section.

Procedure

Step 1

Attach the left and right mounting brackets to the chassis using the screws (48-2029-01) and tighten them to torque value of 1.5 N-m (13.3 lbs-in).

The left and right brackets are marked accordingly.

  3. Install Two Post Slider into an ETSI Rack

  4. Install Four Post Slider into an ETSI Rack

Step 3

Insert the chassis (with brackets) onto the sliders assembled on the rack.

Step 4

After completely inserting the chassis, fasten it with four screws (48-101524-01) on each side of the bracket.

See Install the Air Filter for the air filter installation procedure, before you fasten the chassis to the rack.

Step 5

Using a number-2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screws to a torque value of 4.65 N-m (41 lbs-in).

Install the Two Post Slider into an EIA/ANSI Rack

Use this procedure to install the two post slider into an EIA/ANSI rack.

Procedure

Step 1

Identify the two post slider and adjust the length of the slider (3" to 5").
