The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Component Description
route processor cards (RPs) Two RP cards (RP0/RP1) are inserted into the front of the chassis. These
cards provide the intelligence of the system by functioning as the system
controller and providing route processing and chassis management. The
RP cards also monitor system alarms and control the system fans. The
LEDs on the front panel indicate active alarm conditions.
fabric cards (FCs) Four FCs are inserted into the front of the chassis. The FCs provide the
switch fabric for the routing system and performs the cross-connect
function of the routing system, connecting every LC to each other. The
switch fabric receives ingress user data from one LC slot and performs the
switching necessary to route the data to the appropriate egress LC slot.
line cards (LCs) As many as sixteen LCs can be inserted into the front of the chassis. These
cards provide the physical interfaces and optical connections for the user
data.
external connection unit The ECU provides all shelf electrical I/O connectivity to the active and

The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis has cable management features for the front side only. The horizontal cable
management brackets are located above and below the card cages.

Safety Guidelines
Before you perform any Cisco NCS 4016 chassis installation procedures, review the safety guidelines in
this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.

Note Review the safety warnings listed in Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco
Network Convergence System 4000 Series before installing, configuring, or troubleshooting any installed
card.

Note Power off the system before removing or installing a power tray.

The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. The guidelines do not include all
hazards. Be alert.
• Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself.
• Keep the work area clear and dust-free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris to
enter into any laser-based components.
• Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, and other items that could get caught in the chassis while
working with the chassis and its components.
• Use Cisco equipment in accordance with its specifications and product-usage instructions.
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Make sure that your installation follows national and local electrical codes: in the United States,
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United States National Electrical Code; in Canada,
Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1; in other countries, International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) 60364, part 1 through part 7.
• Connect only a DC power source that follows the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in
UL/CSA/IEC/EN 60950-1 and AS/NZS 60590 to the DC input power system.
• Make sure that you have a readily accessible two-poled disconnect device incorporated in the fixed
configuration wiring of a DC input power system.
• Make sure that you provide short-circuit (overcurrent) protection as part of the building installation.

Safety Guidelines

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. We recommend use of an
ESD-preventive wrist strap whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD jack (Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-9) or a
bare metal surface on the chassis (ensure the chassis is grounded).
• Handle a card by its ejector levers, when applicable, or its metal carrier only; avoid touching the
board or connector pins.
• Place a removed card board side up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If you plan
to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
• Avoid contact between a card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from only ESD voltage
on the body; ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage.
Figure 2-8 shows the ESD jacks on the top of the chassis.

Site Planning Considerations

This chapter describes the general considerations to address while planning for the installation of the
Cisco NCS 4016 chassis. As you plan for your system, keep in mind the specifications listed in
Appendix B, “System Specifications.”
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Basic Site and Installation Planning, page 3-1
• Equipment Rack Considerations, page 3-2
• Aisle Spacing and Maintenance Access Floor Plan, page 3-3
• Cable Management, page 3-4
• Noise Control, page 3-5
• Cisco Installation Services, page 3-5
• System Testing, Certification, and Warranties, page 3-5

Basic Site and Installation Planning

As you plan for basic site and installation requirements, consider the following:
• Does the installation site have adequate power for the routing system?
• Can the routing system be positioned close to the AC or DC power source, and are the power
receptacles easy to reach?
• Does the site have appropriate equipment racks with space available in which to install the system?
Are additional equipment racks required?
• Is there a scissor lift or similar lifting device available to lift the chassis into the equipment rack?
In addition, make sure that the installation site meets the following access requirements:
• At least 36 inches (92 cm) of clearance exists between rows of equipment racks. This space is needed
to access components in the chassis. Additional clearance may be necessary for installation.
• Enough room exists for the system console terminal, and that the console cable is long enough to
reach the routing system from the terminal.
• Fan tray exhaust vents are not blocked, and airflow at the bottom of the chassis is not blocked.
When planning the site, you should think about potential expansion of the system. Consider the
following:
• Equipment rack space for additional chassis

 Chapter 3 Site Planning Considerations
Equipment Rack Considerations

• Power and cooling requirements for additional chassis

• Cable management for routing system cables

Equipment Rack Considerations

A fully loaded Cisco NCS 4016 chassis weighs 412 lb (187 kg). The chassis is mounted in a two-post or
a four-post rack. Figure 3-1 shows a four-post rack.

Aisle Spacing and Maintenance Access Floor Plan

Warning The chassis should be mounted on a rack that is permanently affixed to the building. Statement 1049

Note We recommend that you use a scissor lift or similar lifting device to position the chassis in the rack and
to hold the chassis in place while you bolt it to the rack. A forklift is not recommended for this purpose.

As you plan the installation of the chassis into the equipment rack, consider the following:
• Make sure that the floor mounting bolts on the equipment rack are accessible, especially if annual
retorquing of bolts is required.
• For chassis installation, you must have access to the vertical mounting rails at each corner of the
equipment rack.
• Consider whether the area around the rack is large enough to accommodate the scissor lift (or similar
lifting device) and installation personnel.
• A minimum of 48 mounting screws (10-32 x 5/8 in. socket head cap screws are provided with the
chassis) are needed to secure the chassis to the rack. To secure the chassis to the rack, install twelve
screws on each of the four vertical mounting brackets.

Note If you plan to use mounting screws other than the ones shipped with the chassis, you can use
10-32, 10-24, 12-24, or M5 screws. (M6 and 1/4-20 screws do not fit.)

• The rack should have horizontal shelf brackets to place the chassis on. The brackets must be able to
support at least 650 lb. (294.8 kg). If the rack does not have horizontal mounting rails, a set of rails
is included in the installation kit, which is available as an option (NCS4K-INST-KIT=).

Caution Standard rack-mounting screws are not strong enough to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
Use only those mounting screws that are shipped with the chassis.

For complete instructions on mounting and securing the chassis to a rack, see the Cisco Network
Convergence System 4000 Series Routers Unpacking, Moving, and Securing Guide.

Aisle Spacing and Maintenance Access Floor Plan

The floor plan for the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis must include enough space to install the chassis in the
equipment rack and allow sufficient airflow for the system. The floor plan must also provide enough
room to access chassis components for maintenance (for example, to remove fan trays, power modules,
cables, and air filters).

Note For chassis installation, make sure that enough room exists in front of the chassis to accommodate
installation personnel and the scissor lift (or similar lifting device) used to hold the chassis in the rack
while it is bolted in.

Cisco Network Convergence System 4000 Series Routers Site Planning Guide

 Chapter 3 Site Planning Considerations
Cable Management

Front and Rear Clearances

The site requires the following front and rear clearances for chassis installation and maintenance access:
• To install the chassis in the equipment rack: approximately 40 inches (101.6cm)
• To service components and allow system airflow (both in front of and behind the chassis): 36 inches
(91.4 cm)

Note Maintain at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) of clearance at both the inlet and exhaust openings on the
chassis and on the power modules to allow sufficient airflow.

Cable Management
As the size of the routing system increases, the cabling required for the chassis increases. For example,
a fully loaded Cisco NCS 4016 chassis has more cables connected to it than a partially loaded chassis.
The cabling runs must be carefully planned. The basic configurations for various routing systems should
be arranged to minimize the complexity and length of the cable runs. Precut and terminated cables are
considered part of the basic configuration.
• CONSOLE or AUX RJ-45 RS-232 serial ports on the route processor cards for terminal connections
• Ethernet ports on the route processor cards for connecting network management equipment
• Modular service cards (MSCs) and physical layer interface modules (PLIMs) for data connections
The upper and lower cable management trays are for organizing these interface cables to keep the front
of the chassis clear and to eliminate sharp bends in the cables.

Caution Excessive bending can damage interface cables.

Route Processor Cables

As you consider system cabling, see Table 3-1 to determine the types of cables required to connect to
ports on the route processor (RP).

Table 3-1 Route Processor Cables

RP Port Required Cable Type

Ethernet management STP1 cable (Category 5 or better). Required for enhanced immunity

 Chapter 3 Site Planning Considerations
Noise Control

Interface Cables
You must provide the interface cables. Because the type and number of interfaces can vary, plan these
cable runs prior to the installation. When planning the cable runs, consider the following:
• Number and type of interface connections (OC-48/STM-16 or STS-48, OC-192/STM-64 or
STS-192, OC-768/STM-256 or STS-768, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, and 100-Gigabit Ethernet)
• Termination at the other end of the cables (such as patch panel or optical transport equipment)
• Proper length and termination of cables

Noise Control
The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis has some built-in noise reduction, such as fan speed control. If the routing
system is installed in an environment where excessive noise could be harmful to personnel, some other
noise reduction options could be attempted. Passive noise reduction could include the installation of
foam panels to insulate the surrounding area from the noise.
Additional noise-reduction measures have to be designed on an individual site basis.

Cisco Installation Services

Cisco or a Cisco partner can provide a complete installation, from planning to power up. For information
about Cisco or Cisco partner installation services, consult Cisco Customer Advocacy.

System Testing, Certification, and Warranties

After the routing system has been installed, it must be tested and certified. Consult Cisco Customer
Advocacy for information about testing, certification, and warranties.

Installing Power Components

This chapter provides instructions on how to install and reinstall power components in the
Cisco NCS 4016 chassis. It also covers connecting and disconnecting power and powering on the
chassis.

Note The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis ships with power trays and power modules installed.

This chapter presents the following topics:

• Power Connection Guidelines, page 4-1
• Installing the Chassis Ground Cable, page 4-8
• Installing an AC or DC Power Tray, page 4-11
• Installing Power Modules, page 4-12
• Installing the DC Power Front Connection Adapter, page 4-15
• Connecting Power to the Chassis, page 4-23
• Disconnecting AC or DC Power, page 4-28
• Powering On the Chassis, page 4-30

Power Connection Guidelines

You can configure the chassis with either an AC input or DC input power subsystem, so the site power
source requirements differ depending on the power subsystem in your chassis. Ensure all power
connection wiring conforms to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well
as local codes.
Each power tray includes 4 power modules each. The chassis has two power trays for redundancies (each
tray can provide the full power to the chassis). The power tray provides electrical connections to the
chassis backplane. Each power module can be individually plugged in or out from the tray.

Caution Each Cisco NCS 4016 chassis is powered by only one type of input: AC or DC. A hybrid (AC+DC) power
configuration is not supported.

Cisco Network Convergence System 4000 Series Hardware Installation Guide

4-1
 Chapter 4 Installing Power Components
Power Connection Guidelines

Caution Proper grounding is necessary to avoid damage from lightning and power surges. See the “NEBS
Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines” section on page 4-6 for grounding
requirements.

AC-Powered Chassis
AC power modules operate in the input range of 180 VAC to 264 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz (nominal input level
of 200 to 240 VAC).
Power redundancy requirements vary based on the system configuration (number and type of line cards,
etc.). AC-powered systems are 2N protected. A minimum of two power supplies are required for
redundant operation.
Each of the AC power inputs requires a separate dedicated branch circuit. Note that the circuit breaker
and fuse lockout procedures should follow the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and any local codes. For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source AC power,
see Table B-2.
The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis supports two types of AC power cords: International and NEMA (USA).

Figure 4-1 International AC Power Cord (Cisco PID NCS4K-AC-CBL-IEC)

Figure 4-2 NEMA AC Power Cord (Cisco PID NCS4K-AC-CBL-NEMA)

Note Before connecting AC input power cords to the power system, make sure that the power cords are not
energized.

DC-Powered Chassis
Use a 6 AWG wire rated 75°C minimum, for DC power modules connection. The system accepts a
nominal input voltage of -48 VDC or -60VDC, with an operational tolerance range of -40.5 to -72 VDC.
One dedicated, commensurately rated DC power source is required for each power module connection.
Each power feed shall be provided with a double pole breaker, rated not more than 60A, with medium
delay.

Cisco Network Convergence System 4000 Series Hardware Installation Guide

4-2
Chapter 4 Installing Power Components
Power Connection Guidelines

Note Follow the power and sizing requirements for your site.

Note The Short Circuit protection Breaker shall not be rated more than 60A.

Power redundancy requirements vary based on the system configuration (number and type of line cards,
etc.). DC-powered systems are N+1 protected.
Power connections to the power tray for each DC power module requires four cables: two source cables
and two return cables.
For DC power cables, we recommend 6 AWG high-strand-count copper wire cables, rated 75°C
minimum. The size of the cables depends on your chassis location from the source power. Follow your
local practices for determining cable size. DC power cables are not available from Cisco, but they are
available from any commercial cable vendor.
You must terminate DC power cables using cable lugs at the power tray end. The appropriate lugs are
provided in the installation kit with 6 AWG cable. Use Panduit part number LCD4-14AF-L or the
equivalent.

Warning Hazardous voltage or energy may be present on power terminals. Always replace cover when
terminals are not in service. Be sure uninsulated conductors are not accessible when cover is in
place. Statement 1086

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030

Note Before connecting DC power cables to the power system, make sure that the input power cords are not
energized.

Note Ensure that there is a readily accessible disconnect device incorporated in the building’s installation
wiring.

Note Circuit breaker and fuse lockout procedures should follow the rules and regulations in the National
Electrical Code (NEC) and any local codes.

Figure 4-3 shows the lug type required for DC input cable connections.

Power Connection Guidelines

Figure 4-3 Typical DC Power Cable Lugs

364880

Warning To avoid shock hazard, be sure to apply shrink wrap tubing around the wire entry area of the lug.

The color coding of source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power
source. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, be sure that power source cables
are connected to the power modules using the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity:
• In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This is a
relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage
between the DC cable leads. Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) cable leads match the
positive (+) and negative (–) labels on the power module when making the measurement.
• A green (or green and yellow) cable typically indicates that it is a ground cable.

Caution DC power modules contain reverse voltage protection circuitry to prevent damage to the power module
if it detects a reverse polarity condition. No damage should occur from reverse polarity, but you should
correct a reverse polarity condition immediately.

For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source DC power, see Appendix B, “System
Specifications.”

General Power and Grounding Requirements

General Power and Grounding Requirements

This section describes the power and grounding requirements you must consider when planning the site
facilities for the routing system. In addition, see the “DC Power Requirements” section on page 4-5 or
the “AC Power Requirements” section on page 4-6 for additional information about the power
requirements for your chassis type.

Note A qualified electrician should review the information in these sections to ensure that the installation site
meets these requirements. For larger system configurations, consult a facilities electrical expert to
understand the load that the routing system may put on the facility power plant.

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. In addition:
– Chassis grounding is required for AC and DC-powered systems.
– For AC-powered systems, a grounding-type AC power outlet is required.
• 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 4000 Series Routers before
attempting to install the routing system.

DC Power Requirements
Observe the following guidelines for DC-powered shelves. In addition, be sure to review the
requirements described in the “General Power and Grounding Requirements” section on page 4-5.
• A DC-powered chassis requires up to a maximum of 12,250 watts of DC input power when the
chassis is fully loaded.
• All power connection wiring must conform to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and any local codes. In addition, make sure that the wiring conforms to any internal
requirements at the installation site.
• Each DC power source must comply with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in
UL 60950-1, CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1, EN60950-1, AS/NZS 60950, and IEC60950-1.

Cisco Network Convergence System 4000 Series Hardware Installation Guide

4-5
 Chapter 4 Installing Power Components
General Power and Grounding Requirements

• A DC-powered system should be installed in a restricted access area in accordance with the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
• All components in the area where DC input power is accessible must be properly insulated.
If it is not possible to rely on the identification of the earthed conductor in the DC mains supply, whereby
the equipment is not provided with a two-pole disconnect device, then a two-pole disconnect device is
to be provided external to the equipment.

AC Power Requirements
In addition to the requirements in the “General Power and Grounding Requirements” section on
page 4-5, AC input power requirements are as follows:
• An AC-powered chassis requires up to a maximum of 12,000 watts of AC input power when the
chassis is fully loaded.
• Two separate and independent AC power sources are required for N+N redundancy, one for each
power shelf. Each power shelf should be connected to a different power source to provide 2N power
redundancy in case a power source fails. The system will operate with power to only one shelf but
will not have N+N redundancy.
• Each AC power source must provide single-phase AC power, and have its own circuit breaker.
• The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding
conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service
equipment.
• AC single-phase input:
– Single-phase, 200 to 240 VAC nominal, 50 to 60 Hz, 17A maximum.
– Each AC power shelf contains four specific single phase AC inlet connectors. These connectors
can accept four AC power cords provided by Cisco. AC power cords provided by Cisco can have
a IEC-309 plug 32A rated for International power systems, or a NEMA L6-30P plug 30A rated
for North America Power Systems.

Note The external breaker current rating can be less than 30A, depending on the chassis
configuration. Please refer to the national installation rules for the correct rating of the
breakers or fuses.

NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines

You must connect the central office ground system or interior equipment grounding system permanently
to one of the two supplemental bonding and grounding connections on the back or side of the chassis to
meet Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements as well as safety compliance
requirements. These grounding points are referred to as the NEBS bonding and grounding points

Cisco Network Convergence System 4000 Series Hardware Installation Guide

4-6
 Chapter 4 Installing Power Components
General Power and Grounding Requirements

Note These bonding and grounding connections satisfy the Telcordia NEBS requirements for supplemental
bonding and grounding connections. If you are not installing the chassis in a NEBS environment, you
can choose to bypass these guidelines and rely on the safety earth ground connections to the AC power
modules.

Figure 4-4 shows the NEBS bonding and grounding points on the NCS 4016 chassis.

Connecting Power to a DC-Powered Chassis

This section contains the procedures to connect the DC source power cables to a DC-powered chassis.
The color coding of source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power
source. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, you must be sure that power
source cables are connected to the power module with the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity:
• In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This is a
relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage
between the DC cable leads. Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) cable leads match the
positive (+) and negative (–) labels on the power module when making the measurement.
• Green (or green and yellow) cable typically indicates that it is a ground cable.

Caution DC power modules contain circuitry to trip the breaker on the power module if the power module detects
a reverse polarity condition. No damage should occur from reverse polarity, but you should correct a
reverse-polarity condition immediately.

Warning To ensure that power remains off while you are performing this procedure, lock-out/tag-out the DC
circuit breaker switch in the OFF (0) position until you are ready to turn it on.

Follow these steps to connect the DC source power cables to a DC power tray:

Step 1 Verify that the power switch is set to the OFF (0) position. The power switch is on the right of the power
tray.
Step 2 Remove the clear plastic safety covers that fit over the DC power connection terminal studs.
Step 3 Verify the following resistance values on both power shelves:
• The resistance between the positive and negative power terminal studs of each input must be greater
than 90 KOhm.
• The resistance between each positive terminal stud and bare metal surface on the power shelf must
be greater that 10 MOhms.
• The resistance between each negative terminal stud and bare metal surface on the power shelf must
be greater that 10 MOhms.
Note Typical hand held Ohm meters will not measure 10 MOhms; instead they will auto range to
acquire a measurement and give an out-of-range reading. This is an acceptable reading provided
that the meter is in calibration.

Step 4 Connect the DC power cables in the following order:

a. Positive cable first.
b. Negative cable last.
Step 5 Repeat Step 4 for the other power modules installed in the tray.

Warning To prevent injury and damage to the equipment, always attach the ground and source DC power cable
lugs to power tray terminals in the following order: (1) positive (+) to positive (+), (2) negative (–) to
negative (–).

• Guidelines for Installing and Removing a Card, page 5-2

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. We recommend use of an
ESD-preventive wrist strap whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components.
• Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD jack or a bare metal surface on the
chassis (ensure that the chassis is grounded).
• Handle a card by its ejector levers, when applicable, or its metal carrier only; avoid touching the
board or connector pins (see the “Guidelines for Installing and Removing a Card” section on
page 5-2).

Cisco Network Convergence System 4000 Series Hardware Installation Guide

5-1
 Chapter 5 Installing Route Processor Cards, Fabric Cards, and Line Cards
About Installing Cards and Associated Components

• Place a removed card board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If you plan
to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
• Avoid contact between a card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from only ESD voltage
on the body; ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage.
• Be careful not to lay any tools on the aluminum honeycomb panel, or insert your fingers into the
panel.

Guidelines for Installing and Removing a Card

• Online (in-service) insertion and removal (OIR) is supported, enabling you to remove and install
cards while the chassis is operating. OIR is seamless to users on the network, maintains all routing
information, and ensures session preservation. You do not need to notify the software or reset the
power. You have the option of using the Cisco IOS XR shutdown command before removing a card.

Note OIR removes power to a specific slot before the card is replaced. The power remains on for
all other card slots.

• The different cards in the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis are all attached to the chassis itself using a pair
of ejector levers and captive screws. The two ejector levers release the card from its backplane
connector. The exact locations of the ejector levers and captive screws can vary slightly from card
to card, but they are generally in the same locations: on the upper and bottom ends of the faceplate.
• When you remove a card, press the OIR buttons before using the ejector levers to ensure that the
connector pins disconnect from the backplane in the sequence expected by the chassis.
• The correct card orientation is shown by the eject symbol on the OIR buttons. The symbol must be
oriented upward for cards in the top row, and downward for cards in the bottom row.
• Every FC, LC, and RP card has a key mounted on the board that matches a corresponding slot on
the chassis side (top of each card slot). This key-slot mechanism prevents a card from being inserted
into the wrong, non-matching card slot. It also prevents a card from being inserted upside down.
When a card is inserted into the wrong card slot or upside down, the key will get blocked against the
chassis card guide and not slide though the slot. When the key gets blocked, remove the card and
find the correct card slot.

Note RP card faceplates are labeled with the square symbol. Card slots on the chassis for RP cards
are also labeled with the square symbol. FC faceplates are labeled with the plus symbol.
Card slots on the chassis for FCs are also labeled with the plus symbol.

• The chassis is shipped with all card slots containing filler cards to help maintain chassis stiffness
and prevent any damage to the chassis during shipment.
• Any unused card slots that are uncovered would allow air used for chassis cooling to escape.
Therefore, to ensure proper air flow and maintain system EMC and safety compliance, any unused
LC slots must contain filler cards, and all FC and RP cards must remain installed in their card slots.
• Fully insert all FC and RP cards into the chassis before tightening their captive screws.
• For information about the slot numbers, see the “Chassis Slot Numbers” section on page 2-7.

Step 3 Place one hand under the filler card to guide it.
Step 4 Holding the filler card underneath and by the handle, pull it from the slot, and set it carefully aside.

About RP Cards
The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis supports two route processors (RPs). These cards provide the intelligence
of the system by functioning as the shelf controllers for DWDM or OTN applications and by providing
route processing and chassis management. The RP cards also monitor system alarms and control the
system fans. LEDs on the front panel indicate active alarm conditions.
Two RPs per chassis are required for a redundant system. RP cards are inserted into the two dedicated
slots in the chassis, located on the top and bottom right in the card cage.
See the “Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation of an RP Card” section on page 5-9 for details
about LEDs, troubleshooting, and the front panel of the RP card.

Installing an RP Card

Step 1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the two ESD jacks
located on the front or rear side of the chassis. You can also connect the ESD-preventive wrist strap leash
to any bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Remove the card from its antistatic packaging.
Step 3 Place one hand under the card to support and guide it into the correct slot. Slide the card halfway into
the slot. Avoid touching the card circuitry or any connectors.

Note Alignment grooves exist on each slot in the card cage. When you install a card in the card cage,
make sure that you align both edges of the card carrier in the slot grooves.

Step 4 Orient the RP:

• If you are inserting the RP into the upper card cage, the arrows on the OIR buttons should be facing
up.
• If you are inserting the RP into the lower card cage, the arrows on the OIR buttons should be facing
down.
See Figure 5-3 for an example of the arrows on the OIR buttons. If the card does not slide easily into
the slot, the orientation may be wrong or the slot is not for an RP. Reorient the RP, if necessary.
Step 5 Carefully slide the RP into the slot until the ejector levers meet the edges of the card cage, and then stop
when the ejector lever hooks catch the card cage. If they do not catch, try reinserting the RP until the
ejector lever hooks are fully latched.
Step 6 Press the OIR buttons to release the ejectors.
Step 7 Pivot both card ejector levers so that the openings on the card ejector cams at the top and bottom of the
card pass over the tabs on each side of the card cage slot.

Caution Verify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both
ejector levers might bind when you attempt to close the ejector levers, thereby damaging or
breaking one or both ejector levers.

Step 8 Continue sliding the card into the card cage slot until the openings on the card ejector cams engage the
tabs on each side of the card cage slot.

Note RP cards have guide pins that make initial contact with the backplane connector as you slide the
card into its slot. After the guide pins make contact, continue pushing on the card carrier until
the card ejector levers begin pivoting forward toward the handle in the card carrier.

Step 9 To seat the card in the backplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers and pivot them inward toward
the handle in the card carrier until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier.
Step 10 Using the number-2 Phillips screwdriver or number-2 common (flat-head) screwdriver, turn the two
captive screws on the front panel of the card clockwise to seat the card firmly in the slot. Tighten the
captive screws using 10.60 pound/force (lbf) inch (1.20 Nm torque).

Troubleshooting the RP Card

Use the Status LED, located on the faceplate of the RP card, to verify the correct installation of the card:
• When the card is properly installed and no faults are detected, the card status LED turns green.
• When the card status LED is solid yellow, either software initialization is in progress during bootup
or a fault exists on the board.
• When the card status LED is blinking yellow, the card is not fully seated.
• When the card status LED is off, verify that the card is installed correctly. There could be no power
applied to the card, a power fault, or a hardware fault.
• Verify that there is power to the card by looking at the indicators on the power tray.

Note To confirm the location of the card that needs attention, the Attention LED can be lit by using the
hw-module attention-led location CLI command.

If the installed or replaced card fails to operate or to power on after installation:

• Ensure that the card is seated firmly in the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis slot. One easy way to verify
physical installation is to see whether the front faceplate of the card is even with the fronts of the
other cards installed in the card cage.
• Ensure that the ejector levers are latched and that the captive screws are fastened properly. If you
are uncertain, unlatch the levers, loosen the screws, and attempt to reseat the card.
• Examine the power system to see whether the chassis is receiving power.
In addition to the Status and Attention LEDs, Table 5-1 describes the other LEDs on the RP card.

About Fabric Cards

The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis supports 4 fabric cards (FCs), which are agnostic cross-connects based on
a flexible cell switching architecture used in a Clos configuration. FCs are called agnostic because they
will switch a cell with no knowledge of whether they belong to OTN switching or Ethernet switching.
Each fabric card hosts three fabric devices, which are equally distributed across the 16 line cards.
FCs provide the switch fabric for the routing system and perform the cross-connect function of the
routing system, connecting every LC to each other. The switch fabric receives ingress user data from one
LC slot and performs the switching necessary to route the data to the appropriate egress LC slot.
Twelve pluggable front panel connections allow a single-chassis system to migrate to a back-to-back or
multi-chassis configuration.
See the “Verifying the Installation of a Fabric Card” section on page 5-15 for details about LEDs,
troubleshooting, and to see the front panel of the FC card.

Step 8 Continue sliding the card into the card cage slot until the openings on the card ejector cams engage the
tabs on each side of the card cage slot.

Note FCs have guide pins that make initial contact with the backplane connector as you slide a card
into its slot. After the guide pins make contact, continue pushing the card carrier until the card
ejector levers begin pivoting forward, toward the handle in the card carrier.

Step 9 To seat the card in the backplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers and pivot them inward toward
the handle in the card carrier until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier.

Tip For easier installation, install all FCs before securing any fasteners.

Step 10 Use the number-2 Phillips screwdriver or number-2 common (flat-head) screwdriver to turn the two
captive screws on the front panel of the card clockwise to seat the card firmly in the slot. Tighten the
captive screws using 10.60 pound/force (lbf) inch (1.20 Nm torque).
Step 11 Before attaching the vertical cable management bracket, ensure that the FC has been installed properly.
See the “Verifying the Installation of a Fabric Card” section on page 5-15.
Step 12 Attach the vertical cable management bracket to the faceplate of the FC using the two screws that came
with it. The dark gray arm should be facing up and the light gray arm should be facing down. See
Figure 5-5.

2 Attention LED

Use the Status LED, located on the faceplate of the FC, to verify the correct installation of the card:
• When the card is properly installed and no faults are detected, the card status LED turns green.
• When the card status LED is solid yellow, either software initialization is in progress during bootup
or a fault exists on the board.
• When the card status LED is blinking yellow, the card is not fully seated.
• When the card status LED is off, verify that the card is installed correctly. There could be no power
applied to the card, a power fault, or a hardware fault.

• Verify that there is power to the card by looking at the indicators on the power tray.

Note To verify which card needs attention, the Attention LED can be lit using the hw-module attention-led
location CLI command.

If the installed or replaced FC fails to operate or power on after installation:

• Ensure that the card is seated firmly in the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis slot. One easy way to verify
physical installation is to see whether the front faceplate of the FC is even with the fronts of the other
cards installed in the card cage.
• Ensure that the ejector levers are latched and that the captive screws are fastened properly. If you
are uncertain, unlatch the levers, loosen the screws, and attempt to reseat the FC.
• Examine the power system to see whether the chassis is receiving power.

About Line Cards

The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis supports Optical Transport Network (OTN) line cards (LCs), packet LCs,
and Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) line cards. You can have a mix of OTN, packet,
and DWDM line cards in the same chassis.
This section describes the following line cards:
• 2-Port 100Gbps and 10-Port 10Gbps OTN and Packet Line Card, page 5-16
• 24-Port Low-Rate OTN Line Card, page 5-18
• 20-Port 10GE OTN Line Card, page 5-20
• 2-Port 100GE OTN Line Card, page 5-22
• 2-Port 100GE DWDM Line Card, page 5-24
For a list of the pluggable optics that are supported, see the “Pluggable Optics Support” section on
page 5-26.

2-Port 100Gbps and 10-Port 10Gbps OTN and Packet Line Card
The 2-port 100 Gbps and 10-port 10Gbps (NCS4K-2H10T-OP-KS) OTN and packet line card supports
the following port configurations:
• 2-ports of 100 Gbps with CPAK optics
• 1-port of 100 Gbps with CPAK optics and 10-ports of 10 Gbps SFP+ optics
The CPAK 0 port cannot be disabled. The 10SFP+ ports can be used only when and only the CPAK 1
port is disabled.
The card supports OTN and packet aggregation where both TDM switching and packet forwarding
capabilities are combined in a single card. Hence, it can terminate both OTN control plane traffic as well
as packet control plane traffic.
The card supports up to two-level ODU4, ODU2, ODU2e, ODU1, ODU0, and ODUFlex nested
switching functions by interconnecting with the centralized agnostic switch fabric; 100-Gigabit Ethernet
signals are mapped using generic mapping procedure (GMP) or Generic Framing Procedure - Framed
(GFP-F) over ODU4 according to ITU-T G.709 v3 (Section 17.7.5). The 10 GE signals are mapped using
GFP-F mapping over ODU2 and BMP mapping over ODU2e respectively.
