• Disconnect all power before doing the following:

  • Installing or removing a chassis.

  • Working near power supplies.

• Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.

• Do not work alone if hazardous conditions exist.

• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

• Never open the enclosure of the internal power supply.

• If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:

  • Turn off power to the device.

  • Call for help.

  • Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.

Follow these guidelines when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source but is still connected to ethernet wiring or other network cabling:

• Never install ethernet wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install ethernet jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for it.

• Never touch uninsulated ethernet wires or terminals unless the ethernet line is disconnected atthe network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying ethernet lines.

• Remove power cables from all installed power supplies before opening the chassis.

Always follow these electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:

• Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to ground.

• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.

• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.

Caution

For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the anti-static strap. It should be between 1 and 10 megaohms (Mohm).

Follow the general precautions listed below when installing or working with your device:

• Do not block cooling vents.

• Route system cables, and the power supply cable and plug so that they cannot be stepped on ortripped over. Be sure that nothing else rests on your system component cables or power cable.

• If you turn off your system, wait at least 30 seconds before turning it on again to avoid system component damage.

Warning

Statement 1005—Circuit Breaker This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than: 20A

The following table provides the height, width, depth and weight of the chassis:

You can mount the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Edge uCPE using the following ways:

• On a desktop

• In a rack or cabinet (optional 4-point kit to use if rear support is required)

• On a wall

The positioning of your device and the arrangement of your equipment rack or wiring room are crucial factors for optimal functionality. Placing equipment too closely, poor ventilation, and panels that are hard to reach can lead to malfunctions, shutdowns, and pose challenges for maintenance. Ensure that both the front and rear panels of the device are easily accessible during your planning process.

This information can help you plan the rack configuration for your equipment:

• Allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.

• Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each device generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above it.

• When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intake or exhaust ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated in the rack.

Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving "clean" power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner if necessary.
