Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide

General Rack Installation Guidelines

When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:

• The Cisco uBR10012 router chassis requires a minimum of 18 rack units (31.5 in. or 80 cm) of vertical rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
• Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair rack-mount installation. If a power strip does impair a rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.
• Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving line cards, connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 in. (48.3 cm) of clearance to remove FRUs.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 in. (7.62 cm) on the front and back of the chassis for the cooling air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can enter the inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.

• If also installing the optional AC-input power shelf, allow at last two rack units below the Cisco uBR10012 chassis for the power shelf installation. Install the AC-input power shelf after you have installed the Cisco uBR10012 chassis to avoid the possibility of accidentally crushing the power shelf during the router’s installation.
• Cisco recommends installing an optional equipment shelf in the rack for the Cisco uBR10012 chassis because it simplifies installation, but this is not required.
• Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to prevent the rack from falling over. However, if you are also installing an AC-power shelf, leave enough space for the power shelf plus 2 rack units (RUs) underneath the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
• Ensure that cables from other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards, or require you to disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.
• Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.
• Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.

In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions in the “Temperature and Humidity Requirements” section.

Before You Begin

• Make sure that you have an antistatic surface available for the components that you are removing from the chassis.
• Make sure that you are wearing antistatic protection such as a wrist strap or heel strap and are properly grounded.

Removing the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card and the Slot Splitters

This section describes how to properly remove HHGE line cards and the slot splitter from the chassis. This section includes the following tasks:

• Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
• Removing the Slot Splitter

Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card

Use the following procedure to remove the HHGE line card from the slot splitter:

Step 1 Verify that you are properly grounded.

Step 2 Disconnect any network cables connected to the line card port.

Figure 3-1 Captive Screw Locations

Step 3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the top and bottom captive screws until they disengage and spring away from the face plate (Figure 3-1).

Step 4 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers away from each other to disengage the line card from the backplane (Figure 3-2).

Step 5 Slide the line card out of the slot splitter and place it on an antistatic surface or in an antistatic bag.

Step 6 If you are not installing a replacement line card, install a blank faceplate in the slot.

Figure 3-2 Opening the Ejector Levers

Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029

Removing the Slot Splitter

Use the following procedure to remove a slot splitter from the chassis:

Step 1 Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame).

Step 2 Remove any line cards from the splitter, see the “Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card” section.

The slot splitter does not have ejector levers to disengage cards from the backplane, so you must remove any line cards before you remove the splitter.

Step 3 Loosen the top and bottom captive screws on the slot splitter (Figure 3-3).

Figure 3-3 Captive Screw Locations

Step 4 Slide the splitter out of the slot (Figure 3-4).

Step 5 If you are not installing a replacement splitter or a line card, install a full-slot blank faceplate in the slot.

Figure 3-4 Removing the Slot Splitter

Installing First-Generation Cable Management Brackets

Step 2 Grasp the faceplate of the line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier (to support the weight of the card). Position the card in front of the slot splitter.

Step 3 Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the slot splitter, and slide the line card about half-way into the splitter.

Step 4 Be sure the ejectors are in the open position (as shown) and continue to push the line card into the splitter until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors.

Step 5 Verify that the captive screws are properly aligned with the captive screw holes in the splitter. If the captive screws are not properly aligned, the card will not seat properly in the backplane.

Step 6 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to firmly seat the card in the backplane (Figure 3-34).

The line card cycles through its power-on self-test. The FAIL LED lights during portions of the POST (Power-On Self Test), but remains off after POST on a properly working line card. If the FAIL LED remains on, go to the “Troubleshooting the HHGE Installation” section.

Step 7 Secure the line card in the slot splitter by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (Figure 3-35).

Recommended Tools and Supplies

The Cisco uBR10012 router arrives with a console and auxiliary cable kit, which contains the cable and adapters you need for the most common connections to these devices.

Table 3-6 lists the tools and supplies that you need to connect the Console and auxiliary ports.

Note A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand, side-by-side, with the tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).

Also see “How to Identify an RJ-45 Crossover Cable” section.

Use the following procedures to connect to the console and auxiliary ports on a PRE module.

Note For more information about the console port and auxiliary port connectors, see the “Console and Auxiliary Port Cables and Pinouts” section.

Connecting to the Console Port

The console port provides local administrative access to the router and its command-line interface (CLI).

Note Each PRE module must have a console port connection (typically to a terminal server) when running a redundant configuration in the chassis.

Step 1 Connect one end of the RJ-45 crossover cable to the serial RJ-45 port (labelled CONSOLE) on the PRE module (Figure 3-36).

Figure 3-36 Console Port Connection on the PRE Module

Step 2 Run the other end of the crossover cable through the square hole at the left front side of the chassis, and connect it to the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (see Figure 3-37):

Figure 3-37 Connecting an RJ-45-to-DB-9 Console Cable Adapter

Step 3 Connect the adapter to the appropriate serial port on the PC or terminal to complete the console port cable connection.

Step 4 Power on the PC or terminal.

Step 5 Configure the PC terminal emulation software or the terminal for the following default settings:

• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity generation or checking
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control

Step 6 If also connecting a modem to the auxiliary port, go to the next section, “Connecting to the Auxiliary Port.” Otherwise, go to the “Connecting Network Management Cables” section to continue the installation.

Connecting to the Auxiliary Port

The auxiliary port provides a connection for a modem to allow remote access to the router and its command-line interface (CLI).

Step 1 Connect one end of the RJ-45 crossover cable to the serial RJ-45 port (labelled AUX) on the PRE module (Figure 3-38).

Figure 3-38 Auxiliary Port Connection on the PRE Module

Step 2 Run the other end of the crossover cable through the square hole at the left front side of the chassis, and connect it to the RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter.

Step 3 Connect the adapter to the serial port on the modem to complete the auxiliary port cable connection.

Step 4 Power on the modem.

Step 5 Make sure that the modem and auxiliary port on the router are configured for the same transmission speed (38.4 Kbps and 56 Kbps are typical). Configure the modem for auto-answer and for hardware flow control using the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) and Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signals.

Step 6 Go to the “Connecting Network Management Cables” section to continue the installation.

Ethernet Network Management Cable Connections

The PRE module provides an Ethernet port to a LAN for a 10Base-T or 100Base-T connection for network management. Use the following procedures to connect the Cisco uBR10012 router to an Ethernet network.

Note Each PRE module must have an Ethernet port connection (typically to the same Ethernet hub) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis. However, only the active PRE module has an active Ethernet connection to the network.

Connecting to a 10Base-T Ethernet Network

To make a 10Base-T Ethernet LAN connection, you need the following additional equipment (not included):

• An Ethernet hub (such as a Cisco Micro Hub)
• An Ethernet cable that meets the following specifications:

– RJ-45 (male) to RJ-45 (male) straight-through cable

– 100-ohm category 3, 4, or 5, no longer than 328 feet (100 meters)

You can identify a straight-through Ethernet cable either by using a cable tester or by making a visual inspection. To make a visual inspection, hold the two ends of a cable side by side, with the tab for each at the back.

• The wire connected to the left-most pin (pin 1) on one connector should be the same color as the wire connected to the left-most pin on the other connector.
• The same rule applies to pins 2 through 8 on each connector. The color of the wire attached to a pin on one connector should match the color of the wire attached to the corresponding pin on the other connector.

Follow these steps to connect the PRE to a 10Base-T Ethernet LAN.

Step 1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the primary PRE, labeled Ethernet (see Figure 3-39).

Step 2 Run the other end of the Ethernet cable through the square hole at the left front side of the chassis, and connect this end of the cable to any unoccupied port on the Ethernet hub.

Tip When power is applied to the chassis, check the LNK (Link) LED on the PRE faceplate port next to the Ethernet port. This LED lights (green) if the PRE is correctly connected to the 10Base-T Ethernet LAN.

Figure 3-39 Connecting 10Base-T to an Ethernet Port

Connecting to a 100Base-T Ethernet Network

To make a 100Base-T Ethernet LAN connection, you need the following additional equipment (not included):

• An Ethernet hub (such as a Cisco Micro Hub)
• An Ethernet UTP cable that meets the following specifications:

– RJ-45 (male) to RJ-45 (male) straight-through cable.

– 100-ohm category 5 cable not longer than 328 feet (100 meters).

You can identify a straight-through Ethernet cable either by using a cable tester or by making a visual inspection. To make a visual inspection, hold the two ends of a cable side by side, with the tab for each at the back.

• The wire connected to the left-most pin (pin 1) on one connector should be the same color as the wire connected to the left-most pin on the other connector.
• The same rule applies to pins 2 through 8 on each connector. The color of the wire attached to a pin on one connector should match the color of the wire attached to the corresponding pin on the other connector.

The RJ-45 port on the PRE is configurable for 100-Mbps full-duplex or half-duplex operation (half-duplex is the default) and supports IEEE 802.3, Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3u interfaces compliant with 100Base-T specifications.

Follow these steps to connect the PRE to a 100Base-T Ethernet LAN.

Step 1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the primary PRE, labeled Ethernet (Figure 3-40).

Step 2 Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to any unoccupied port on the Ethernet hub.

Tip When power is applied to the chassis, check the LNK (Link) LED on the PRE faceplate port next to the Ethernet port. This LED lights (green) if the PRE is correctly connected to the 100Base-T Ethernet LAN.

Note If you have completed all cable connections, go to the “Replacing the Front Cover” section to continue the installation. If you are using Gigabit Ethernet line cards, go to “Connecting a Single-Port Gigabit Ethernet Line Card” section.

Connecting a Single-Port Gigabit Ethernet Line Card

The single-port Gigabit Ethernet (GE) line card provides a trunk uplink running at 1 Gbps in full duplex mode to devices such as content servers and Web caches. The port uses a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) that supports Gigabit Ethernet rates on a variety of Gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX, LX/LH, ZX). For a list of qualified GBICs and cable lengths, see Table 1-9 .

Use the following procedure to install a GBIC and then connect a fiber cable to the GBIC.

Note If a GBIC is already installed in the GE line card, begin this procedure at Step 2.

Step 1 Review the warnings at the start of the network uplink section.

Step 2 Insert the GBIC into the GE line card port until the tabs lock into place (Figure 3-41).

Figure 3-41 Inserting the GBIC

Note The GBIC is “keyed” and can only be fully inserted one way. If you can only insert the GBIC one quarter of the way into the port, remove it, turn it over, and reinsert it into the port.

Step 3 Remove the protective plug from the GBIC by pulling it off.

Step 4 Attach the fiber optic cable to the GBIC port (Figure 3-42).

Figure 3-42 Connecting the Cable to the GBIC Port

Step 5 Run the cable through the cable bracket on the bottom of the line card and then out to the left or right of the chassis (Figure 3-43).

Figure 3-43 Gigabit Ethernet Cable Management

Step 6 If you have completed all cable connections, go to the next section, “Replacing the Front Cover” to continue the installation.

Startup Display

When you power on your Cisco uBR10012 router or execute the reload command, the console screen displays a message similar to the following:

Basic Configuration Using the Setup Facility

The first time you power on a Cisco uBR10012 router, the setup facility starts. You can also initiate the facility by running the setup command in privileged EXEC mode. This facility helps you enhance a default configuration that already exists on the Cisco uBR10012 router. The setup facility uses a question and answer sequence called the System Configuration Dialog to walk you through configuring the router.

You do not have to configure the interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the interfaces or connect them to any networks until you have configured them.

Tip Basic configuration setup is often used as a quick way to achieve network connectivity, allowing you to retrieve a configuration file from a TFTP server.

System Configuration Dialog

Use the System Configuration Dialog to help you perform a basic configuration. Proceed through the dialog by answering questions and then pressing the Enter key. In most cases, you can get additional information by entering a question mark (?). Throughout the dialog, default values are shown in square brackets [ ].

Tip If you have experience using Cisco routers, consider configuring the router by using the procedure described in the “Basic Configuration in Global Configuration Mode” section.

To cancel the configuration dialog, press Ctrl-C , or you can let the dialog help you perform one of two configuration types:

• Basic configuration setup configures only enough connectivity for management of the system.
• Extended setup asks you to configure each interface and is not appropriate for configuring the Cisco uBR10012 router. For more information, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt (#) by entering the command setup .

Configuring the System Using System Configuration Dialog

Use the following procedure to perform a basic configuration using the System Configuration Dialog:

Step 1 The dialog starts by asking if you want to continue with the configuration dialog. Enter Yes. To return to the enable prompt, enter No.

Step 2 Enter Yes to perform a basic management setup. Enter No to perform an extended configuration setup.

Step 3 Specify a hostname. The hostname becomes part of the IOS prompt.

Step 4 Specify a secret password. It appears in encrypted form in the configuration file.

Step 5 Specify the enable password. It is used if you did not assign a secret one.

Step 6 Specify the password to use for telnet sessions.

Step 7 At the configure system management prompt, enter No.

Step 8 If you want to access the router using SNMP, enter Yes at the prompt:

Step 9 Specify an SNMP community string.

Setting Up the Interface

After you respond to the SNMP questions, the setup script lists the interfaces. The following table lists typical interfaces found on a Cisco uBR10012 router.

Tip Interfaces that are not okay (NO) do not have a valid configuration.

To set up an interface on the Cisco uBR10012 router:

Step 1 Enter the interface for the FastEthernet interface to achieve network connectivity.

Step 2 Accept the default value for the type of connector. RJ-45 is the only connector that can be used on the Cisco uBR10012 router Ethernet port.

Step 3 Configure both the Cisco uBR10012 router and the remote device to use the same mode.

Step 4 Enter the IP address to achieve network connectivity.

Step 5 Specify the IP address.

Step 6 Enter the subnet mask for the IP address.

The system displays the information you entered as well as several default commands, such as the no shutdown command. For example:

Step 7 Exit the setup script without saving, start the setup script, or save the configuration file:

Step 8 Enter global configuration mode after you complete the configuration, and enable ip routing by entering the ip routing command:

Basic Configuration in Global Configuration Mode

The following command sequence allows you to perform a configuration similar to that generated by the setup command.

You can now configure the line cards. For specific information on system and interface configuration, refer to the Cisco uBR10012Universal Broadband Router Software Configuration Guide at the following URL:
