Installing the Cisco AS5800
This chapter explains the procedures for installing the access server. Installation involves the following tasks:
1 Connecting cables to the AC power supply (AC installs only)
1 Rack-mounting the AC power supply (AC installs only)
2 Rack-mounting the dial shelf
3 Replacing the blower assembly, DC PEMs, and dial shelf cards or controller cards
4 Connecting power inputs to the DC PEMs
5 Mounting the AC power safety cover (AC installs only)
6 Rack-mounting the router shelf
7 Connecting all remaining cable connections
Estimated time to install the access server hardware is between 2 and 3 hours.
Note If you are installing the optional AC-input power shelf, refer to the"Connecting to an AC Power Source" section.
This chapter assumes that you are installing the access server manually. If you have access to a forklift or hydraulic equipment during the installation, you can omit certain steps, which are specified later in this chapter.
Connecting to an AC Power Source
If your site has access to an AC power source only, you need to install the optional AC-input power shelf (DS58-PWR-2AC) to convert to DC-input power for the dial shelf.
AC-input power is accepted using a separate, self-contained AC-input power shelf, which converts AC-input power to DC-output for use by the DC-powered dial shelf. The AC-input is supplied by two AC power cables (CAB-DS-AC=, other options available), converted to -48V DC-output power for the dial shelf PEMs using two AC-to-DC power cables (DS5800-CAB-ACDC=) supplied by Cisco.
The AC-input power shelf is an optional component of the Cisco AS5800 and is used to convert AC-input power into DC-output power for the DC-powered Cisco 5814 dial shelf. The AC-input power shelf contains two AC-input power supplies.
This section explains how to attach the power cables and rack-mount the AC-input power shelf. For detailed cabling specification tables, refer to Appendix A, "Cisco AS5800 Specifications."

Step 2 Attach one support bracket to each front post or mounting strip using the provided slotted screws and a 1/4-in., flat-blade screwdriver. Ensure that the support brackets are level. (See and .)
Note Because the brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use at least two slotted screws per bracket. These brackets also ensure that the required space between the dial shelf and the power supply is available.
Step 3 Position the dial shelf chassis in front of the rack.
Warning Two people are required to lift the chassis. Use the handles on the chassis sides. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies, the filter module, or on the blower assembly. These handles are not designed to support the weight of the chassis. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.
Step 4 Lift and slide the dial shelf chassis into the rack, resting it on the two support brackets. Push it back until the forward brackets or chassis mounting flanges meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the equipment rack. When the chassis is slid back all the way, keep one or two people holding the chassis in place using the handles, or gripping the chassis where the DC PEMs belong.
Figure 3-5 Mounting Support Brackets for the Cisco AS5800
Note The brackets support the chassis until you complete the installation. Removing the brackets is optional. If you leave the brackets installed, they can be used as spacers between the dial shelf and the optional AC-input power shelf.
Step 5 While two people hold the dial shelf steady, a third person should insert the 10-32 x 3/8-in. slotted screws (2 screws per bracket) through the brackets (or chassis mounting flange) and into the mounting strip. Install two screws near the bottom of the flanges first, then install more screws above them, spaced evenly along the flange. Tighten all the screws using a 1/4-in. flat-blade screwdriver.
To complete the dial shelf rack installation, mount the rear set of brackets to the chassis. Proceed to the following section "Mounting the Rear Brackets."

Replacing the Dial Shelf Cards and Dial Shelf Controller Card
Replace the trunk cards, modem cards, and dial shelf controller cards in the chassis as follows:
Timesaver Your dial shelf arrived with trunk cards, modem cards, and dial shelf controller cards installed in the proper slots. You can refer to the notes you made before removing the cards (as described in the "Removing Dial Shelf Cards and Dial Shelf Controller Cards" section) when replacing cards in the dial shelf chassis.
If you did not note the original card configuration, replace the cards in the dial shelf slots, which are numbered from left to right, as follows:
•Trunk cards must be installed in slots numbered 0 to 5, beginning with slot 0.
•Modem cards can be installed in slots numbered on the backplane as slots 2 to 11.
•Dial shelf controller cards must be installed in slots numbered on the backplane as slot 12 and slot 13. A single dial shelf controller card can be installed in either
slot 12 or slot 13.
Caution Trunk cards and modem cards weigh 8 lb (3.6 kg) each. Dial shelf controller cards weigh 8.5 lb (3.8 kg) each. Use two hands when removing or replacing cards in the dial shelf.
Step 1 Attach your ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle trunk cards by ejector levers and carrier edges only and use an ESD-preventive wrist strap or other grounding device.
Step 2 Carefully align the card carrier guides with the top and bottom grooves in the slot. Avoid touching the circuitry or any connector pins.
Step 3 Slide the carrier into the slot until the ejector levers make contact with the chassis frame. (See Figure 3-10.)
Figure 3-10 Using the Ejector Levers
Step 4 Seat the card in the backplane by pushing the card firmly until the ejector levers fold in toward the trunk card front panel and the front panel is flush with the chassis frame.
Caution Always use the ejector levers when disengaging or seating trunk cards, modem cards, or dial shelf controller cards in the dial shelf. Failure to do so can cause erroneous system error messages indicating a card failure. However, do
not use the ejector levers to lift or support the weight of the cards.
Step 5 Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the panel fasteners on the top and bottom of the card front panel. This prevents the card from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane and ensures proper EMI shielding.
Caution Always tighten the panel fasteners on trunk cards, modem cards, and dial shelf controller cards. These fasteners prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for the system.
Step 6 Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for all remaining cards you want to install.
Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, remove or insert only one trunk card at a time. Also, after inserting or removing a trunk card, allow at least 15 sec. before removing or inserting another trunk card so that the system can reinitialize and note the current configuration of all interfaces.
Step 7 Install a blank filler card (DS58-BLANK=) in all empty card slots to keep the chassis dust-free and to maintain proper airflow.
Caution To prevent the overheating of internal components, always install blank filler cards in empty slots to maintain the proper flow of cooling air across the cards.
Connecting Cables to the Dial Shelf
Once the dial shelf has been rack-mounted and all components have been reinstalled into the dial shelf, DC power connections from a DC source or AC-input power shelf can be connected to the dial shelf. The monitor connection from an AC-input power shelf should also be connected at this stage. The following sections assume the use of the optional AC-input power shelf. If your installation will use a DC power source, see the "Connecting to a DC Power Source" section.
Connecting the AC Power Cables
You need to connect all cables between the AC-input power shelf and the dial shelf before you connect the power shelf to your AC power source. You also need to install the provided electrical connection safety cover at the rear of the power shelf before you power up the system. For detailed cabling specification tables, refer to Appendix A, "Cisco AS5800 Specifications."
Warning This unit has more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the two power supply cords before servicing the unit. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.
Grounding the AC-Input Power Shelf to the Dial Shelf
For detailed cabling specification information, refer to Appendix A, "Cisco AS5800 Specifications." To attach the ground cable between the AC-input power shelf and the dial shelf, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Thread an M4 screw through one hole of the double ring lug on the other end of the ground cable; then thread the screw into the threaded pemnut in the underside of the dial shelf chassis and partially tighten the screw. (See , upper chassis or for an enhanced power shelf.)
Step 2 Align the second ring lug hole with the second pemnut in the underside of the dial shelf chassis and thread a screw through the hole.
Step 3 Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten both screws.

Step 2 Attach the double ground lug to your own 6-gauge ground wire.
Step 3 Using the screws you removed, fasten the ground lug to the dial shelf chassis.
Connecting DC Power Cables
If your site has access to a DC power source, you need to provide your own DC power cables. In the United States you need to use 6 AWG stranded or solid copper wire; elsewhere use 16 mm2 solid or 10 mm2 stranded copper wire.
Complete the following cabling instructions:
Step 1 Locate the DC terminal block located on the dial shelf PEM front panel and loosen the connector screws using a 1/4-in. flat-blade screw driver. (See .)
Step 2 Strip the DC power cable of its outer insulation to expose about 1/2-inch of copper wires.
Step 3 Connect the power cable stripped wires to the DC terminal block on the PEM and securely tighten the terminal block connector screws. (See .)
Figure 3-20 DC Terminal Block on the PEM
Step 4 Connect the other end of your DC power cables to your DC power source.
Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 to connect your DC power cables to the second PEM.
Note If the two DC conductors entering the PEM terminal block are reversed, a red warning LED on the PEM goes on to indicate a miswire. No damage will occur; however, you must power OFF the power at the source and reverse the connections.
This completes the procedure for installing the dial shelf in a rack. You are now ready to install the Cisco 7206 router shelf in the equipment rack.
Rack-Mounting the Router Shelf
The router shelf is intended to be rack-mounted above the dial shelf in the same rack; however, you can rack-mount the router shelf in an adjacent rack. The interconnect cable supplied by Cisco, which provides the physical connection between the router shelf and the dial shelf, is available in 6-ft or 20-ft lengths.
There is no clearance requirement for mounting the router shelf directly above the dial shelf. Use the rack-mounting brackets and cable-management kit that shipped with the Cisco 7206 router shelf to install the router in the rack.
Note To install the Cisco 7206 router shelf, refer to the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your Cisco 7206 router shelf. After you complete the router shelf installation, you are ready to connect the cables. Proceed to the following section "Connecting the Dial Shelf to the Router Shelf."
Note It is possible to use two routers in a split dial shelf configuration with a single 5814 dial shelf. Install the second router shelf above the first.
Connecting the Dial Shelf to the Router Shelf
The Cisco 7206 router shelf contains a dial shelf interconnect port adapter with a single RJ-45 receptacle, which is used to connect the router shelf to the Cisco 5814 dial shelf. The interconnect port adapter installs in any 7206 router shelf port adapter slot and connects directly to the Cisco 5814 dial shelf controller card using a single full-duplex cable.
The cable used for this connection is available only from Cisco Systems. It is customized with shielding to decrease electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions, and jackscrews to secure the connection. You must use this specially designed cable, which shipped with your interconnect port adapter, to connect the dial shelf to the router shelf. For detailed cabling specification information, refer to Appendix A, "Cisco AS5800 Specifications." If the cable was not shipped, contact CCO as described in the"Cisco Connection Online" section.

The trunk card provides 12 RJ-45 receptacles for channelized E1 or T1 lines, or BNC connectors for T3 trunk lines. To connect T1 or E1 trunk lines, follow these steps:
Warning The telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector and/or 2) while the housing is open. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.
Warning The E1 interface card may only be installed in an ACA-permitted customer equipment or a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) that is exempted from ACA's permit requirements. The customer equipment must only be housed in a cabinet that has screw-down lids to stop user access to overvoltages on the customer equipment. The customer equipment has circuitry that may have telecommunications network voltages on them.
Step 1 Attach one end of the T1 or E1 cable directly to the RJ-45 receptacle on the trunk card. (See .)
Step 2 Attach the network end of your CT1 cable to your external network, or for CE1 cabling, attach the network end of your CE1 cable to your network termination (NT1) device.
Step 3 Repeat Steps 1 and Step 2 for as many as 11 more T1 or E1 cables.
For more information about trunk cables and trunk cards, refer to the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Dial Shelf Card Guide.
Warning
Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the unit first. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Connecting to the Router Shelf Console and Auxiliary Ports
A DCE-mode console port and a DTE-mode auxiliary port are located on the router shelf I/O controller. The console port is a DB-25 receptacle for connecting a data terminal, which you use to run the initial setup script and bring up the Cisco AS5800. The auxiliary port is a DB-25 plug for connecting a modem or other DCE device (such as a CSU/DSU or other router) to the router shelf. (See .)
Note Both console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any device connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission.
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits (9600 8N2). You need an EIA/TIA-232 DCE console cable to connect the terminal to the console port. After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal. While both the router shelf and the dial shelf have console ports, functions for both shelves are available from the router console port.
You must supply your own interface cable between the auxiliary port and the equipment you are connecting. Refer to the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your router shelf for console and auxiliary port pinouts.
