Cisco Systems 7200 VXR manual Installing the Cable-Management Brackets, 3-15

Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco 7200 VXR Router

Installing the Cable-Management Brackets

•Port adapter and power supply filler panels are installed.

•The router will receive adequate ventilation (it is not being installed in an enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate).

•If you plan to install the cable-management brackets on the front of the chassis, you have unpacked and set aside the two cable-management brackets and four M4 x 8-mm Phillips flathead screws.

•An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for your router chassis.

Note We strongly recommend that you provide a chassis ground connection. See the “Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection” section on page 3-17for instructions.

Following are the steps for installing a Cisco 7200 VXR router on a workbench or tabletop:

Step 1 Remove any debris and dust from the tabletop or workbench, as well as the surrounding area. Also make sure your path between the router and its new location is unobstructed.

Step 2 On the chassis, ensure that all captive screws on the network processing engine or network services engine, the I/O controller, Port Adapter Jacket Card, and each power supply are tightened and the port adapter levers are in the locked position.

Step 3 Lift the chassis by placing your hands around the chassis sides and lifting the chassis from underneath. To prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.

Step 4 Place the router on the tabletop or workbench.

Step 5 Ensure that there is at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents of the router and no exhaust air from other equipment will be drawn into the chassis. Also, ensure that there is approximately 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis.

This completes the general tabletop or workbench installation.

Installing the Cable-Management Brackets

To install the cable-management brackets on a Cisco 7200 VXR router, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis.

Step 2 Align the first cable-management bracket to the threaded holes in the right side of the chassis. (See Figure 3-6.)

Step 3 Thread two M4 x 8-mm Phillips flathead screws through the bracket and into the chassis. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Step 4 Install the other cable-management bracket on the left side of the chassis, following the same procedures as in Step 1 and Step 2.
