Prepare to Install Cisco NCS 1014

This chapter explains how to prepare for the Cisco NCS 1014 installation.

Shipping and Receiving

You can order the Cisco NCS 1014 as an assembled chassis (NCS1K14-SYS) along with the components. You can order the spare modules as well. See PIDs for all PIDs of the NCS 1014 components.

The shipped package contains the following:

  • Cisco NCS 1014 chassis. See Assembled Chassis.

  • Accessory kit (53-100873-02) that has all the installation hardware.


    Note

    From R24.4.1, you can order the NCS1K14-S-KIT accessory kit for 19-inch racks that are up to 40-inch in depth.

    DC chassis—when you order for a DC chassis, you get four power lugs for each PSU (a pair of 90-degree and a pair of 180-degree lugs). The power lugs are included in the DC PSU package for spare-order. For Assemble-to-order, the power lugs are included in the Accessory kit.


    Important

    We recommend that you use the 180-degree power lugs for ETSI racks to maintain a footprint of 600 mm. Ensure that there is a minimum gap of 50 mm for routing the cables.

Assembled Chassis

The chassis is shipped in one of the following ways:

  • Chassis with Filler Cards and Line Cards

    You will receive the chassis with preinstalled line cards, based on the number of line cards that you have ordered, and filler cards in the rest of the cardslots. If you have preordered four line cards, then the chassis does not contain any filler cards. Four fiber management brackets come in the package, for each of the line card or filler cards preinstalled in the chassis. The controller, SSD, and three fan modules are also preinstalled. The chassis package includes only the accessory kit and PSUs.

    Figure 7. Chassis Shipped with Line Cards

  • Chassis with Only Filler Cards

    You will receive the chassis with four filler cards in the cardslots. The chassis package includes four fiber management brackets, one bracket for each of the filler cards. If you order one or more line cards as spare items, you will receive each of them separately, with an extra fiber management bracket in each package. The controller, SSD, and three fan modules are preinstalled. The chassis package includes only the accessory kit and PSUs. You must order the line cards separately.

Unpack and Verify the Cisco NCS 1014 Chassis

Use this procedure to unpack the shipment and verify that you have all the chassis modules that are required for installation.

Procedure

Step 1

When you receive the Cisco NCS 1014 equipment at the installation site, open the top of the box.

Step 2

Remove accessories and foam inserts from the box. The box contains Cisco NCS 1014 chassis and other items that are needed for installation.

Step 3

To remove the chassis from the packaging, grasp the side of the chassis and lift it out of the box.

Use these lifting guidelines to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment:

  • Do not lift equipment alone. Have another person help you to lift the equipment.

    A fully loaded chassis can weigh as much as 28.7 kg (63.3 lbs).

  • Ensure that your footing is solid; balance the weight of the object between your feet.

  • Lift the equipment slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.

  • Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. When bending down to lift equipment, bend at the knees (not at the waist), to reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.

Step 4

Verify the following:

  • The Cisco NCS 1014 chassis is undamaged. Check the chassis for scratches, bends, discolorations, or deformations.

  • The other modules that are shipped with the chassis or separately are undamaged.

Step 5

If you notice any damage to the chassis or the modules, call your Cisco sales engineer for a replacement.
