Safety Recommendations
•Review the safety warnings contained in the document entitled Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 12000 Series Gigabit Switch Routers (Document Number 78-4347-02). This document accompanied the shipment of your Cisco 12008 router; familiarize yourself with its contents before attempting to install, configure, or maintain the router.
•Cisco 12008 routers configured with AC-input power supplies are shipped with a 3-wire electrical grounding-type plug that fits only into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature that you should not circumvent. Equipment grounding should comply with local and national electrical codes.
•Cisco 12008 routers configured with DC-input power supplies require a 40-ampere DC circuit breaker for the input DC power source. This circuit breaker should protect against short-circuit and overcurrent faults in accordance with United States National Electrical Code NFPA 70 (United States), Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1 (Canada), and IEC 364 (other countries).
•Only a DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in UL950, CSA 950, EN 60950, and IEC950 can be connected to a Cisco 12008 DC-input power supply.
•A Cisco 12008 configured with DC-input power supplies that is to be used in a restricted access area must be installed in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
•A Cisco 12008 configured with DC-input power supplies must have a readily accessible disconnect device incorporated in the fixed wiring for the site.
Lifting Guidelines
A fully configured Cisco 12008 router weighs approximately 187 lb (84.8 kg); it is not intended to be moved frequently.
Before installing the router, ensure that your site is prepared properly so that you can avoid having to move the router later to accommodate the availability/proximity of power sources and network interface connections.
Whenever you lift or move the router (or any other heavy object), observe the following guidelines:
