Note
These routers are designed to boot up in less than 30 minutes, provided the neighboring devices are in full operational state.

Note
The NCS 2002, NCS 2006, and NCS 2015 are suitable for mounting on concrete or other noncombustible surfaces only.

Note
In this chapter, “shelf” refers to the steel enclosure that holds cards and connects power, and “node” refers to the entire hardware and software system. Unless otherwise specified, NCS 2002, NCS 2006, and NCS 2015 refers to both ANSI and ETSI environments.

Note
The NCS 2006 is suitable for installation in network telecommunication facilities where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies.

Required Tools and Equipment

The following sections describe the tools and equipment you need to install and test the NCS 2002, NCS 2006, or NCS 2015 shelves.

Cisco Supplied Materials

The following table lists the materials that are required to install, and are shipped with the NCS 2002, NCS 2006, and NCS 2015 shelves (wrapped in plastic). The shipped quantity of each item is in parentheses.

Note
Ring runs are not provided by Cisco and can hinder side-by-side shelf installation where space is limited.

Ordering Solutions for NCS 2002, NCS 2006, and NCS 2015

Two ordering solutions for the NCS 2002 shelf are offered. Select one of these solutions:

  • Shelf that is preinstalled with all the ancillary units such as fan tray assembly and power module.
  • Shelf that is not preinstalled with the ancillary units but can be ordered separately.

Note
In both the ordering solutions, the front door is preinstalled with the NCS 2002 shelf.

Two ordering solutions for the Cisco NCS 2006 shelf are offered. Select one of these solutions:

  • Shelf assembly that is preinstalled with all the ancillary units such as fan tray assembly, LCD unit, power module and NCS 2006 ECU.
  • Shelf assembly that is not preinstalled with the ancillary units but can be ordered separately.

One ordering solution for the Cisco NCS 2015 shelf is offered.

  • Shelf assembly that is not preinstalled with the ancillary units but can be ordered separately.

Card Slot Requirements

The cards have electrical plugs at the back that plug into electrical connectors on the shelf backplane. When the ejectors are fully closed, the card plugs into the assembly backplane.

NCS 2002

The NCS 2002 shelf assemblies have 3 card slots numbered sequentially from bottom to top. Slot 1 is reserved for control cards (TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE). Slot 2 and Slot 3 are dedicated for common line cards.


Caution

The NCS 2002 shelf must be equipped with a TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card.

Shelf slots have symbols indicating the type of cards that you can install in them. Each NCS 2002 card has a corresponding symbol. The symbol on the card must match the symbol on the slot.

Figure 1. Slot Symbols

The following table shows the slot and card symbol definitions.

Table 3. Slot and Card Symbols

Symbol Color/Shape

Definition

Purple/Square

Slot 1. TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card slot. Only install the card with a square symbol on the faceplate.

Orange/Circle

Slots 2 and 3. Only install cards with a circle symbol on the faceplate.

Orange/Hollow Circle

Slots 2 to 3. New line cards with high speed back plane connectors.

Pink/Pentagon

Slots 2 and 3. New Uplink card.

NCS 2006

The NCS 2006 shelf assemblies have eight card slots numbered sequentially from bottom to top. Slots 1 and 8 are reserved for control cards (TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE). Slots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are dedicated for common line cards.


Caution

The NCS 2006 system can work with a single control card (TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE). The TNC, TNCE, TSC, and TSCE cards cannot operate in a shelf at the same time.

The shelf assembly slots have symbols indicating the type of cards that you can install in them. Each card has a corresponding symbol. The symbol on the card must match the symbol on the slot.

Figure 2. Slot Symbols

The following shows the slot and card symbol definitions.

Table 4. Slot and Card Symbols

Orange/Hollow Circle

Slots 2 to 7. New line cards with high-speed backplane connectors.

Pink/Pentagon

Slots 4 and 5. New Uplink card.


Note
When the NCS 2006 shelf is powered at –60 VDC (nominal), only TNC, OPT-AMP-C, OPT-AMP-17-C, OPT-EDFA-17, OPT-EDFA-24, and NCS 2006 ECU can be installed.

NCS 2015

The NCS 2015 shelf assemblies have 18 card slots numbered sequentially from left to right. Slots 1 and 17 are reserved for control cards (TNCS or TNCS-O). Slots 2 through 16 are dedicated for common line cards and slot 18 is reserved for the ECU.


Caution

The NCS 2015 system can work with a single control card (TNCS or TNCS-O.)

The shelf assembly slots have symbols indicating the type of cards that you can install in them. Each card has a corresponding symbol. The symbol on the card must match the symbol on the slot.

Purple/Square

Slots 1 and 17. TNCS or TNCS-O card slot.

Orange/Circle

Slots 2 through 16. Install only cards with a circle symbol on the faceplate.

Pink/Triangle

Slots 2 through 16. Install only line cards with circle or a triangle symbol on the faceplate.

Blue/Hexagon

Slots 2 through 16. Install only line cards with a blue hexagon symbol on the faceplate.

Green/Pentagon

Slot 18. ECU slot.

Card Replacement

To replace a card with another card of the same type, you do not need to make any changes to the database; remove the old card and replace it with a new card. To replace a card with a card of a different type, physically remove the card and replace it with the new card, then delete the original card from CTC. For specifics, refer to the “Maintain the Node” chapter in the Cisco NCS 2000 Series Network Configuration Guide .


Caution

Removing any active card from the shelf can result in traffic interruption. Use caution when replacing cards and verify that only inactive or standby cards are being replaced. If the active card needs to be replaced, switch it to standby prior to removing the card from the node.


Note
An improper removal (IMPROPRMVL) alarm is raised whenever a card pull (reseat) is performed, unless the card is deleted in CTC first. The alarm clears after the card replacement is complete.

Step 1

When you receive the NCS 2002, NCS 2006, or NCS 2015 system equipment at the installation site, open the top of the box. The Cisco Systems logo designates the top of the box.

Step 2

Remove the foam inserts from the box. The box contains the NCS shelf (wrapped in plastic) and a smaller box of items needed for installation.

Step 3

To remove the shelf, grasp both rings of the shelf removal strap and slowly lift the shelf out of the box. The NCS 2015 chassis has lifting handles at either side for this purpose (see figure below).
