Preface
This site planning guide describes how to plan and prepare your site facilities for the installation of a Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis (also referred to in this document as the “Cisco CRS-1 8-slot line card chassis”). The guide provides a brief description of the chassis and its components, and basic site facilities requirements.
This guide describes all power, cooling, and environmental specifications to consider before ordering and installing the Cisco CRS-1 8-slot line card chassis.
