Preventing ESD

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic cards or components are mishandled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Note the following guidelines before you install or service the system:

•Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap when handling electronic components. Connect one end of the strap to an ESD jack or an unpainted metal component on the system (such as a captive installation screw).

•Handle cards by the faceplates and edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins.

•Place any removed component on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag.

•Avoid contact between the cards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the card from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

Note For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

Installing and Servicing the System

•Disconnect all power and external cables before installing the system.

•Install the system in compliance with your local and national electrical codes:

–United States: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70; United States National Electrical Code.

–Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1.

–Other countries: If local and national electrical codes are not available, refer to IEC 364, Part 1 through Part 7.

•Do not work alone under potentially hazardous conditions.

•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

•Do not touch the backplane or midplane with your hand or metal tools.

•Remove all jewelry (including rings and chains) or other items that could get caught in the system or heat up and cause serious burns.

Disconnecting Power

•Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room before working with the system.

•Turn off the power and disconnect the power from the circuit when working with components that are not hot-swappable or when working near the system backplane or midplane. If the system does not have an on/off switch, unplug the power cord.

•To completely de-energize the system, disconnect the power connection to all power supplies.

7202, 7204 VXR, 7200 Series, 7206 VXR specifications

Cisco Systems has been at the forefront of networking technology, and the Cisco 7200 Series, particularly the 7206 VXR, 7202, and 7204 VXR models, exemplify the company’s commitment to delivering robust, scalable, and versatile routing solutions. Designed for both service providers and enterprise environments, these routers are ideal for deployment in medium to large-sized networks that require high performance and reliability.

The 7200 Series routers are built on a flexible architecture that supports various interfaces and protocols. One of the standout features of the 7206 VXR is its modular design, allowing users to customize their devices to meet specific network needs. This modular architecture supports various high-speed WAN interfaces, including Serial, ATM, T1/E1, and Fast Ethernet, making the 7206 VXR a versatile choice for connecting diverse network segments.

The 7200 Series is equipped with Cisco's advanced IOS software, which underpins its reliability and performance. The IOS software provides a comprehensive suite of features such as advanced routing protocols, security mechanisms, quality of service (QoS) controls, and extensive network management capabilities. This makes it possible for organizations to implement complex networking strategies while ensuring optimal performance.

Security features are also a critical aspect of the 7200 Series. With support for integrated firewalls, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and Network Address Translation (NAT), these routers help safeguard sensitive data during transmission. The availability of advanced encryption standards ensures data integrity and confidentiality, further enhancing network security.

Another important characteristic of the Cisco 7200 Series is its scalability. The 7206 VXR can handle significant amounts of traffic and can be upgraded as network demands grow, thanks to its ability to support different line cards. This scalability is crucial for organizations looking to future-proof their investments while maintaining efficiency.

In summary, the Cisco 7200 Series, featuring models like the 7206 VXR, 7202, and 7204 VXR, remains a powerful choice for organizations seeking reliable and flexible routing solutions. With its modular design, extensive features, scalability, and robust security options, it meets the demands of modern networking environments, making it a cornerstone for many enterprise and service provider networks.
