Cisco NCS 2000 Series chassis is classified as Hazard Level 1M as per IEC 60825-2 and Laser Class 1M as per IEC 60825-1, since it may include embedded or pluggable optical modules Class 1 or Class 1M.

The NCS 2002 is designed to comply with Telcordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5. The NCS 2002 provides only Type 2 and Type 4 interfaces. A single NCS 2002 shelf supports both ANSI and ETSI standards.

The NCS 2002 is Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 and Common Criteria (CC) compliant.

The NCS 2002 shelf has 3 horizontal card slots —Slot 1, Slot 2, and Slot 3. While Slot 2 and Slot 3 house MSTP cards that provide 10 to 100 Gbps interconnections, Slot 1 accommodates the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card (timing and control card). The NCS 2002 system can be powered by AC or DC power module. The NCS 2002 system contains backup flash memory that supports the database (DB) and image backup in the single mode operation. The NCS 2002 shelf can be mounted on an ANSI or an ETSI rack using the mounting brackets or air deflectors. The air deflectors orient the air flow in a specific direction. The NCS 2002 shelf can also be wall-mounted or desktop-mounted.

When installed in an equipment rack, the Cisco NCS 2002 shelf is typically connected to a fuse panel to provide distributed power for the NCS 2002. The fuse panel is a third-party equipment and is not described in this documentation. If you are unsure about the requirements or specifications for a fuse, consult the user documentation for the related equipment.

Install and operate the NCS 2002 only in environments that do not expose wiring or cabling to the outside plant.

Two types of front doors can be attached to the Cisco NCS 2002 shelf— the standard door and the deep-front panel. The front door provides access to the shelf, and acts as a protective panel. The deep-front panel provides additional space in front of the shelf to accommodate cables that do not fit inside the standard door. It also provides more space for fiber bend radius and to manage the line card connections.The deep door does not have a hinge and cannot be rotated like the standard door. .

You can mount the NCS 2002 on a 19-inch or 23-inch ANSI rack (482.6 or 584.2 mm), or on a 600 x 600-mm (23.6 x 23.6-inch) or 600 x 300-mm (23.6 x 11.8-inch) ETSI standard equipment rack. The NCS 2002 shelf can also be wall mounted or desktop mounted. The shelf weighs approximately 11.02 pounds (5 kg) with no cards installed.

It is mandatory that the correct type of 19-inch ANSI rack is chosen to mount the NCS 2002 shelf. The recommended shape of the rack post is shown in the figure below.

For proper airflow and cooling of the shelf, the shape of the vertical posts of the rack should be such that the airflow vents are not covered. There must be sufficient space between the shelf side walls, and the vertical walls of the rack post that are parallel to the shelf side walls, as shown in the figure below.

For information on hardware and software specifications for the NCS ETSI shelf, refer to the NCS 2002 Shelf Specifications.

The NCS 2006 is designed to comply with Telcordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5.

The NCS 2006 provides only Type 2 and Type 4 interfaces. A single NCS 2006 shelf supports both ANSI and ETSI standards.

The NCS 2006 is FIPS 140-2 and CC compliant.

The NCS 2006 shelf has 8 horizontal card slots numbered 1 to 8. While Slot 2 to Slot 7 house MSTP cards that provide 10 to 100 Gbps interconnections, Slot 1 and Slot 8 accommodate the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE cards (timing and control cards). The NCS 2006 system can be powered by redundant AC or DC power modules. A single power module (AC or DC) can be used to power up the entire NCS 2006 system. The NCS 2006 system contains backup flash memory that supports the database (DB) and image backup in the single mode operation.

The front door of the NCS 2006 shelf allows access to the shelf, fan-tray assembly, fiber-routing area, power connectors, external alarms and controls, timing input and output, and craft interface terminals. Two types of front doors can be attached to the NCS 2006 shelf—the standard door and the deep-front panel. The front door provides access to the shelf, and acts as a protective panel. The deep-front panel provides additional space in front of the shelf to accommodate cables that do not fit inside the standard door. It also provides more space for fiber bend radius and to manage the line card connections.The deep door does not have a hinge and cannot be rotated like the standard door. The fiber or cable guide used in the NCS 2006 shelf provides improved fiber management.

The NCS 2006 is mounted on a 19-inch or 23-inch ANSI rack, or on a 600 x 600-mm or 600 x 300-mm ETSI standard equipment rack. The rack mounting is done using the mounting brackets or air deflectors. The air deflectors orient the air flow in a specific direction.

Depending on the position of the mounting bracket, the chassis may project to different distances outside the rack. If the chassis projects outside the rack, the cabinet doors must be kept open (if present). The table below displays the details below:

It is mandatory that the correct type of 19-inch ANSI rack is chosen to mount the NCS 2006 shelf. For proper airflow and cooling of the shelf, the shape of the vertical posts of the rack should be such that the airflow vents are not covered. There must be sufficient space between the shelf side walls, and the vertical walls of the rack post that are parallel to the shelf side walls.

When installed in an equipment rack, the Cisco NCS 2006 shelf is typically connected to a fuse and alarm panel to provide centralized alarm connection points and distributed power for the NCS 2006. Fuse and alarm panels are third-party equipment and are not described in this documentation. If you are unsure about the requirements or specifications for a fuse and alarm panel, consult the user documentation for the related equipment.
