Step 5 Disconnect each system ground by loosening and removing the two M4 screws that attach the grounding cable to the chassis, and disconnect the other end of the grounding cable. Place the grounding lug and screws (not the cable) in the accessories box.

Step 6 Loosen and remove the 6 screws that hold each side of the chassis (12 screws total) to the vertical mounting rails on the rack or cabinet.

Step 7 Position a mechanical lift in front of the chassis and raise its platform to the bottom of the chassis (or no more than 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) below the bottom of the chassis), so that you can push the chassis onto the lift platform.

Step 8 Lay the original shipping pallet flat on the floor. This pallet includes a raised portion that is bolted to the larger pallet. Make sure that the raised portion is on top.

Caution You need four persons for the following step.

Step 9 Use at least four persons to push the chassis onto the mechanical lift.

Caution Be sure to push the chassis only on its frame. Do not push on any of its modules or use the handles on any modules. Do not use the handles on the side of the chassis to move or lift the chassis. Those handles are only for adjusting the position of the chassis in the rack or cabinet.

Step 10 After you securely position the chassis on the mechanical lift, use the mechanical lift to move the chassis to its pallet.

Step 11 Lower the chassis to the level of the pallet or no more than 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) above the pallet.

Caution You need four persons for the following step.

Step 12 Use at least four persons to push the chassis onto the raised portion of the pallet. Position the chassis so that it is 4 inches (10.2 cm) away from the side of the common edge of the pallet and its raised portion.

Step 13 Attach two angle brackets to the raised portion of the pallet between the chassis and the pallet edge. Do not tighten the screws that hold these brackets to the pallet—you will need to adjust their placement after you place the chassis on the pallet. See Figure D-2.

Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are pivotal in the landscape of networking, providing high-performance, reliable solutions for enterprise environments and service providers. These routers were designed to support the growing demands of digital communication, offering robust features that enhance connectivity and streamline network operations.

One of the primary characteristics of the Cisco 7000 series is its modular architecture. This allows for the integration of various interface modules and processing units, enabling organizations to customize their routers according to specific networking needs. The modularity supports scalability, as businesses can upgrade or replace components as their requirements evolve without having to replace the entire system.

The Cisco 7000 series incorporates advanced routing protocols, ensuring efficient data packet management and traffic flow. It supports multiple protocols, including OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP, facilitating seamless integration into a variety of network environments. This flexibility is essential in modern networks, where diverse communication protocols are in use.

Load balancing capabilities are another significant feature of the Cisco 7000 series. This functionality allows for the optimal distribution of network traffic across multiple paths, enhancing performance and redundancy. By ensuring that no single route is overwhelmed, organizations can maintain uptime and improve overall user experience.

Security is a top priority for many businesses, and the Cisco 7000 series addresses this need with built-in security features. It supports Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and access control lists (ACL) to provide secure remote access and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This capability is vital in today’s threat landscape, where data breaches can have far-reaching consequences.

The series also boasts high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like video conferencing and cloud computing. Coupled with Quality of Service (QoS) features, the Cisco 7000 ensures that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, thereby enhancing overall network performance.

In terms of manageability, the Cisco 7000 routers come equipped with advanced monitoring and diagnostic tools. Network administrators can easily track performance metrics and identify potential issues before they escalate, minimizing downtimes and maintaining business continuity.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are a sophisticated solution for organizations seeking to optimize their networking infrastructure. With modularity, robust routing protocols, load balancing, security features, high performance, and comprehensive manageability, the Cisco 7000 series stands out as a reliable foundation for successful network operations in an increasingly connected world.
