The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router
Overview
The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router provides a high-end, high-performance, high-capacity
Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) solution. The Cisco uBR10012 router is an aggregation
platform that places a new level of intelligence and performance at the edge of the network, enabling
cable service providers to maximize their revenues by delivering more feature-rich services to their
customers. The system can provide high-speed data, broadband entertainment, and IP telephony services
to residential and commercial subscribers using cable modems or digital set-top boxes (STBs).
The Cisco uBR10012 router is based on the Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications
(DOCSIS), which were developed by a cable industry initiative to ensure the reliable and secure
operation of cable data networks. The router can interoperate with cable modems or STBs that support
the DOCSIS 1.0, DOCSIS 1.1, EuroDOCSIS 1.1, DOCSIS 2.0, DOCSIS 3.0 and EuroDOCSIS 2.0
versions of the DOCSIS specification.
DOCSIS supports the 6 MHz North American channel plans using the ITU J.83 Annex B RF standard.
The downstream uses a 6 MHz channel width in the 85 to 860 MHz frequency range, and the upstream
supports the 5 to 42 MHz frequency range. Each chassis can support multiple standards and multiple
interfaces, allowing operators to choose the appropriate services and devices that optimize their capital
investment with a single CMTS platform.
The Cisco uBR10012 router supports data and digitized voice connectivity over a bidirectional cable
television and IP backbone network, using advanced quality of service (QoS) techniques to ensure that
real-time traffic such as voice can be reliably delivered, while still transmitting other traffic on a
best-effort basis. The Cisco uBR10012 router concentrates traffic from two-way DOCSIS-based cable
modems and STBs that is transmitted over the coaxial cable television (CATV) network, and presents
that traffic to local and remote Internet Protocol (IP) hosts over its high-speed network uplink interfaces.
The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router uses the same Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF)
technology used by the Cisco ESR10000 edge services router. The combination of PXF technology with
Cisco's CMTS solutions creates a cost-effective, scalable, and industry-proven CMTS that provides
consistent, high-performance throughput that is optimized for high-volume traffic over a cable network.
Based on the Cisco IOS networking software, the router supports the most advanced networking and
routing options. Also, with access to current and future software enhancements, the router ensures
investment protection as standards and customer needs continue to evolve.

Comparisons with Other Cisco CMTS Platforms

•

Fan module—Forced-air convection cooling, see “Fan Assembly Module”.
– Variable speed levels. The operating speed of the fan is determined by the temperature of the

facility.
– Multiple fans in the fan assembly provide redundancy to support single failure.
– Status LEDs on the fan assembly indicate single or multiple fan failure.
– Replacing the fan assembly module does not interrupt service (within certain time limits).

Comparisons with Other Cisco CMTS Platforms
The Cisco uBR10012 router is a next-generation CMTS platform with the following significant
differences from the other Cisco CMTS platforms (Cisco uBR7100 series and Cisco uBR7200 series
universal broadband routers):
•

The Cisco uBR10012 router supports a larger form factor for cable interface line cards. The existing
cable interface line cards for the Cisco uBR7200 series routers cannot be used with the
Cisco uBR10012 router.

•

The Cisco uBR10012 router uses high-performance PRE modules as its processor cards. It does not
use any of the network processor cards used on the Cisco uBR7200 series router.

•

The Cisco uBR10012 router is a high-performance, high-throughput CMTS router that requires
high-performance network uplink line cards for its WAN connectivity to the Internet and other
connected networks. It does not use any of the port adapters that are available for the Cisco uBR7100
series and Cisco uBR7200 series router.

•

The Cisco uBR10012 router does not use the Cisco cable clock card because the TCC+ cards include
national clock support.

•

To accommodate the new architecture of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis, slot numbering on the router
has been expanded to include a card and subcard numbering system (1/0, 2/0, and so forth). See
Figure 1-4 for a diagram of the slot numbering on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

Cisco uBR10012 Router Functional Overview
The Cisco uBR10012 router is a cable modem termination system (CMTS) that provides Internet, LAN,
and WAN access for cable modems and set-top-boxes (STBs) over a coaxial cable connection. The router
enables high-speed data services to be packaged like they are in basic cable television service or video
programming.
The path from the CMTS to the cable modem or STB is the downstream, which carries the majority of
traffic over the cable interface. The path from the cable modem or STB to the CMTS is the upstream,
and it typically carries approximately 10 percent of the traffic that is sent over the downstream. A large
number of users can be assigned to the same downstream, and for efficient use of bandwidth, those users
can be split among several different upstreams.
The following sections provide a high-level overview of the data path over the upstream and the
downstream.

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Overview

Cisco uBR10012 Router Functional Overview

Upstream Data Path
The following example describes the upstream data path.
1.

A request for service is generated by a subscriber. The modem transmits the request as a series of
packets to the CMTS on the upstream.

2.

The cable line card receives the packets on its upstream interface and forwards them to its onboard
processor.

3.

The line card’s processor verifies the header check sequence (HCS), frame check sequence (FCS),
and system identification number (SID), processes all fields in the DOCSIS MAC header, and then
removes the header.
a. The line card examines and processes the extended headers (Request, Acknowledgement,

Privacy, PHSs and Unsolicited Grand Synchronization header elements). If Baseline Privacy
Interface (BPI) is used, the processor also decrypts the Privacy EH frames using the appropriate
key.
b. Bandwidth requests, acknowledgment (ACK) requests, and unsolicited grant syncs are

reformatted and passed to the request ring of the Cisco cable line card.
c. The DOCSIS MAC header is removed and another header is added, which includes the SID, the

upstream port information, and status bits that indicate whether any errors were detected.
4.

The packet is sent across the backplane to the forwarding processor (FP) or the routing processor
(RP) on the PRE.

5.

The PRE performs packet operations such as access list processing, classification, switching, and
QoS. It is also where major routing and IOS management functions (filtering) are run.

6.

The packet is moved to the correct output queue and transmitted over the backplane to the network
uplink card (OC-48 DPT/POS, GigE) or another cable interface line card.

7.

The output card forwards the packet to the next interface point.

Downstream Data Path
The following example describes the downstream data path.
1.

Data packets from the Internet are received by the network uplink cards (OC-48 DPT/ POS, GigE).

2.

The packets are forwarded to the file processor (FP) on the PRE module.

3.

The FP performs MAC classification to determine the type of frame or packet to be processed.

4.

The PRE performs access list filtering, policing, and marking.

5.

A forwarding information base (FIB) lookup and rewrite happens.
a. The rewrite consists of a downstream header and 802.3 MAC header.
b. The downstream header contains destination primary SID, physical DS port number, PHS rule

index, and some control bits and other fields.
c. The packet is policed, shaped and prepared for queueing. Queueing is based on the priority of

the queue and the state of the flow bits from the card. The destination card address (port) is
prepended on the header of the packet being transmitted.
6.

The packet is transmitted over the backplane to the appropriate cable interface line card.

7.

The cable interface line card receives the packet and forwards it to all the ASICs on the line card.

Chapter 1

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Overview
Cisco uBR10012 Router and Cisco IOS Software

a. Each ASIC decodes the header to determine if the packet is destined for one of the downstream

ports on that card. If so, the downstream header is removed and the 802.3 MAC header is saved.
b. The MAC header is processed to determine how to build the DOCSIS MAC header and what

operations to perform on the packet. These might include prepending the DOCSIS MAC header,
computing the HCS and FCS, performing Packet Header Suppression, and BPI encryption.
8.

Once the packet is ready, it is immediately transmitted on the downstream.

Cisco uBR10012 Router and Cisco IOS Software
The Cisco uBR10012 router runs the Cisco IOS software, which is stored on the Type II PCMCIA flash
memory disks stored in the two PCMCIA slots in the primary PRE module. A PCMCIA flash memory
disk in either slot can store a Cisco IOS image or configuration file.
In addition to the flash memory disks, each PRE module contains onboard flash memory that is used to
store a boot loader. The loader executes following a system reset to reload and execute the Cisco IOS
software on the flash memory disks.
The PRE module also stores the system configuration in the onboard flash memory. The configuration
information read from the flash memory is buffered in operational memory following initialization, and
is written to the flash memory device when the configuration is saved.
Each line card also contains onboard flash memory that is used to store a boot loader, similar in function
to that used on the PRE module. However, the line card loader executes following a system reset, line
card reset, or line card insertion to reload and execute any code that must run on the line card.
Software images may also be stored on an external TFTP server. If the Cisco uBR10012 router is so
configured, it then downloads the proper image from the TFTP server and executes it.

DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS Data Rates and Modulation Schemes
Cisco cable interface line cards can be configured in a number of different upstream combinations based
on the card used, your cable network, and the anticipated subscription and service levels. Table 1-1 lists
the data rates and modulation schemes for both DOCSIS1.1 and EuroDOCSIS 1.1 standards. Table 1-2
lists the data rates and modulation schemes for DOCSIS 2.0 and EuroDOCSIS 2.0 standards. Table 1-3
lists the downstream data rates.

This section describes the Cisco uBR10012 router and router components.

Cisco uBR10012 Router
The Cisco uBR10012 router is installed in a standard 19-inch equipment or telco rack. A rack-mount kit
ships from the Cisco factory with each router. The rack-mount kit includes the hardware needed to mount
the router in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or telco-type rack. Mounting in 23-inch equipment racks
is possible with optional third-party mounting hardware.
The Cisco uBR10012 chassis is designed for front and rear access. The two AC or DC power entry
modules (PEM)s, two Performance Routing Engine (PRE) modules, the LCD panel, and the fan
assembly module are accessed from the front of the chassis, see Figure 1-2. The eight slots for cable
interface line cards, four full-slots for network uplink line cards, and two slots for the Timing,
Communication, and Control Plus (TCC+) cards, and DOCSIS Timing, Communication, and Control
Plus (DTCC) cards are accessed from the rear of the chassis, see Figure 1-3.

Note

If the only available power supply source is 100-120 VAC, you can use the auxiliary AC-input power
shelf. The AC-input power shelf converts AC to DC power for the Cisco uBR10012 router. See
“Supported External AC-Input Power Shelves” for more information.

Tip

The Fast Ethernet interface on the backup PRE is not used unless the primary PRE fails and the backup
PRE is activated. When the backup PRE becomes the active PRE module, its Fast Ethernet interface
automatically becomes the active Fast Ethernet interface at slot 0/0.

Note

The Cisco uBR10012 router also has an internal Ethernet interface, Ethernet 0/0/0, which PRE
processors and line cards use to transfer packets between cards. This interface is not user-configurable,
although you can see the configuration and run-time information using the show interface command.

Warning

Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Modules
The following section describes the modules used in the Cisco uBR10012 router. For a list of field
replaceable units (FRUs) used in this chassis, see “Cisco uBR10012 Router FRU Resources”.

Fan Assembly Module
The Cisco uBR10012 chassis uses a fan assembly module containing fans to supply cooling air to the
chassis. The fan assembly connects to the chassis through a blind mate connector that plugs into the
cable assembly and then into the chassis backplane. The fan assembly modules can be identified by the
product part numbers. The fan assembly module supported on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis is:
•

Fan Assembly Module (UBR10-FAN-ASSY=)

•

Fan Assembly Module (UBR10012-FAN-PLUS=)

For information on installing, removing and replacing the fan assembly module, see Cisco uBR10012
Universal Broadband Router Fan Assembly Module.

AC Power Entry Modules
The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with two AC power entry modules (AC PEMs) that provide
power supply to the system. One AC PEM module is sufficient to provide power for a fully configured
chassis. However, if one AC PEM module fails, the other AC PEM module automatically begins
providing power to the entire chassis, without impacting the system operation.
The AC PEM modules use a standard 200–240 VAC (50 or 60 Hz) input power obtained through power
receptacles on the front panel of each PEM. The two AC PEMs convert the AC power to provide filtered,
redundant, and load shared DC power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The AC PEM modules can be
identified by their product part numbers.
The AC PEM modules supported on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis are:
•

AC PEM Module (UBR10-PWR-AC=)

•

AC PEM Module (UBR10-PWR-AC-PLUS=)

For information on installing, removing and replacing the 2400 W AC PEM module, see AC Power Entry
Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

Performance Routing Engine
There are four models of PREs, the original PRE module that was initially shipped with the
Cisco uBR10012 router, the PRE1 module that began shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF, the
PRE2 module that is shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9)BC, and the PRE4 module that is shipping
with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB.
•

PRE1 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF.

•

PRE2 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC.

•

PRE4 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB.

You can use the CLI show version command to determine whether a PRE, PRE1, PRE2, or PRE4
module is installed in your system.

Note

The PRE3 is not supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router
The PRE is a single-slot module used with the Cisco uBR10012 routers. The PRE performs all Layer 2
and Layer 3 packet routing and forwarding using an advanced parallel processing architecture called
Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF). This process separates the control plane from the data plane. The
PXF architecture supports high-performance throughput with IP services enabled on every port.

Note

When replacing a PRE1 module with a PRE2 module, you must also install EMI gaskets and RF absorber
material. For more information, go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/installation/field_replaceable_units/pre2gkit.h
tml

PRE Modules and PRE1 Modules
PRE1 modules support error checking and correction (ECC) for all onboard memory, replacing the
simpler parity error algorithm of the original PRE module. A general-purpose RISC processor (262–300
MHz MIPS RISCMark RM7000) support high performance Layer 3 forwarding of traffic. The

combination of a general purpose RISC processor with advanced programmable PXF network
processors provides the capacity to support the aggregation of thousands of active connections in a single
Cisco uBR10012 chassis when supporting IP applications such as access policy filtering, rate-based
queuing, and QoS.

PRE2 Modules
PRE2 modules are designed to address Internet service provider (ISP) requirements. The PRE2 has four
PFX network processors (containing 64 individual processors) with two independent 32-MB SDRAM
control memories on each processor set. The PRE2 provides 6.2 Mpps of processing power and has a
500-MHz RM 7000 mips processor with integrated 16-KB data and 16-KB instruction Level 1 caches,
an integrated 256-KB Level 2 cache, and a 4-MB Level 3 cache.
Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC automatically enables the following features:
•

Route Processor Redundancy Plus (RPR+)

•

6.2 mpps processing power

•

Software features available with PRE2 and Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC:
– EtherChannel
– TLS 802.1q
– NetFlow

PRE4 Modules
The Performance Routing Engine 4 (PRE4) is the fifth-generation Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF)
packet processing and scheduling engine for the Cisco uBR10012 router.
PRE4 enhances the performance capability of the Cisco uBR10012 router to 10 Mpps by providing
increased density Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and higher throughput of the 10GE SPA interface.
The PRE4 runs Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB and later releases. Benefits of the PRE4 include:

Note

•

800-MHz dual processor

•

64 PXF network processors arranged as 8 columns and 8 rows

•

512-MB packet buffer and 128-MB control memory with error-correcting code

•

4-GB ECC-protected Route Processor (RP) memory

•

10 million packets per second (Mpps) forwarding performance through the PXF complex

•

5.6-Gbps backplane bandwidth for each full-height backplane slot

•

11.2 Gbps backplane bandwidth to each SPA interface processor (SIP)

•

Maximum transmission unit (MTU) support of 9216 bytes

•

An external CompactFlash Disk slot (disk0)

•

A 100/1000 Megabit Ethernet interface for communication between redundant PRE4s

Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this document to the PRE refer to the PRE, the PRE1, the
PRE2, or the PRE4 modules. The PRE is now end-of-life (EOL) and is replaced by the PRE1, PRE2, or
PRE4.

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Overview
Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Modules

Redundant PRE Modules
The PRE module supports redundant operation (two PRE modules in a Cisco uBR10012 chassis). If the
primary PRE fails, the secondary PRE automatically takes over operation of the chassis. Because all
Cisco uBR10012 line cards are physically connected to both the primary and secondary PRE modules,
a switchover of PRE modules does not require human intervention to reset the line cards, as they
automatically fail over to the redundant PRE. The PRE module is hot-swappable if there is a redundant
PRE module in the chassis.

Caution

You cannot use different models of the PRE in the same chassis. If you have PRE2 modules and you wish
to upgrade, you must upgrade both of your PREs to the PRE4s. You cannot use a PRE1 or a PRE2 and
a PRE4 in the same system.

PRE Module Description
The PRE1 contains two PC media card two slots and 64 MB of onboard flash memory. Figure 1-10

SIP and SPA Compatibility
The Cisco uBR10012 router currently supports the following SIPs:
•

Note

•

Cisco Wideband SIP for the Cisco Wideband SPA

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCH, the Cisco Wideband SIP is not supported on the
Cisco uBR10012 router.
Cisco 10000 Series SPA Interface Processor-600

The Cisco Wideband SIP can support up to two Cisco Wideband SPAs. The Cisco uBR10012 router can
support up to eight SPAs. For more information about the introduction of support for different SIPs and
SPAs, refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration
Guide at the following location:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/shared_port_adapters/configuration/ubr10012/1
2.3_23_bc/sipsp_d3.html

Timing, Communication, and Control Plus Card
On the Cisco uBR10012 router, the Timing, Communication, and Control Plus (TCC+) card acts as a
secondary processor that performs the following functions:
•

Generates and distributes 10.24 MHz clock references to each of the cable interface line cards.

•

Generates and distributes 32-bit time-stamp references to each of the cable interface line cards.

•

Allows software to power off independently any or all of the cable interface line cards.

•

Drives the LCD module used to display system configuration and status information.

•

Monitors the supply power used by the chassis.

•

Provides two redundant RJ-45 ports for external timing clock reference inputs such as a Global
Positioning System (GPS) or building integrated timing supplies (BITS) clock.

When two TCC+ cards are installed, they are configured as active and backup (redundant). If the TCC+
card in the first slot is working at system power-up, it automatically becomes the active card and the
TCC+ card in the second slot becomes the backup card. The TCC+ cards monitor each other’s priority
information so that if the active card fails, the active card role is transferred to the redundant backup card
without lose of data.
Figure 1-13 shows the faceplate of the TCC+ card. The handle provides for the insertion and removal of
the card from the chassis.

Caution

Do not attempt to lift the chassis using one of these handles.

Preparing for Installation
Before you install the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router, consider:
•

The power and cabling requirements that must be in place at your installation sites

•

The equipment required to install the router

•

The environmental conditions your installation site must meet to maintain normal operation

This chapter guides you through the process of preparing for your router installation.
Do not unpack the system until you are ready to install it. Keep the chassis in the shipping container to
prevent accidental damage until you determine an installation site.

Note

The Cisco uBR10012 router (using DC power supplies) is not shipped with wiring to connect to a DC
power source. You must provide input, return, and earthing (grounding) wiring at the site, and install and
protect the wiring in accordance with local and national wiring regulations (see Table 3-4).

Safety
When you install the Cisco uBR10012 router, observe all of the following caution and warning
statements. For warning translations, refer to the regulatory compliance and safety documentation at the
following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/regulatory/compliance/ub10rcsi.html
The following guidelines will help ensure your safety and protect the equipment. However, these
guidelines may not cover all potentially hazardous situations you may encounter during system
installation, so be alert.
•

The installation of your Cisco uBR10012 router must comply with national and local electrical
codes. In the United States, this means the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United
States National Electrical Code. In Canada, Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CC22.1. In other
countries, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364, part 1 through part 7.

•

Review the safety warnings listed in the regulatory compliance and safety documentation before
installing, configuring, or performing maintenance on the product.

•

Always disconnect power at the source before you install or remove a chassis.

•

Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy to lift safely by yourself.

•

Keep the chassis area clear and as dust free as possible during and after installation.

•

Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.

Preparing for Installation

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Warning

•

Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (including rings and chains), or other items that could get caught
in the chassis.

•

The Cisco uBR10012 router operates safely when it is used in accordance with its marked electrical
ratings and product usage instructions.

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which occurs when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, can result in complete or intermittent failures. The performance routing engine
(PRE), and all line cards consist of a printed circuit card that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal
carrier helps to protect the cards from ESD, use an antistatic strap each time you handle the modules.
Handle the carriers by the edges only; never touch the cards or connector pins.

Caution

Always tighten the captive installation screws on all system components when you are installing them.
These screws prevent accidental removal of the module, provide proper grounding for the system, and
help to ensure that the bus connectors are properly seated in the backplane.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

Caution

•

Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Before removing a card from the chassis, connect the equipment end of the strap to a bare metal,
unpainted surface on the chassis or rackmount.

•

Handle line cards by the faceplates and carrier edges only; avoid touching the card components or
any connector pins.

•

When removing a line card, place the removed module component-side-up on an antistatic surface
or in a static-shielding bag. If the module will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a
static-shielding bag.

•

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

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

Preparing for Installation
Chassis-Lifting Guidelines

Chassis-Lifting Guidelines
The Cisco uBR10012 chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. When fully populated, the
Cisco uBR10012 system weighs approximately 230 pounds. A depopulated chassis weighs
approximately 55 pounds.
When moving the chassis, use the following guidelines to prevent injury and damage to the equipment:

Warning

•

Before you install the system, ensure that your site is properly prepared so you can avoid having to
move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.

•

A fully populated chassis should be moved only with a hydraulic lift or forklift. Do not attempt to
manually lift a populated chassis.

•

Two people are required to safely move a depopulated chassis. This should be done by using the
handles on each side of the chassis.

To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the
handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed
to support the weight of the unit. Statement 1032
•

Never attempt to lift even a depopulated chassis by yourself. Because of the size and weight of the
chassis, use at least two people to safely lift and move it without causing injury or damaging the
equipment.

•

To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.

•

Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chassis between your feet.

•

Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.

•

Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down to lift the
chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your back muscles.

•

If you have to move a fully populated chassis and you do not have a hydraulic lift or forklift
available, you must first remove the following components from the chassis:
– Fan assembly module
– AC or DC power entry modules (PEMs)
– Cable interface line cards
– Network uplink line cards

In a fully loaded chassis, these components weigh approximately 170 pounds, so removing them
allows the chassis to be safely moved with two people. The components can then be reinserted after
the chassis has been moved and installed. See Chapter 5, “Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router”
for instructions on removing these components.

Caution

When removing and reinstalling these modules, be certain to follow the precautions given in the
“Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” section on page 2-2.
•

Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.In particular, verify that
all power to the chassis has been removed. Do not try to move a chassis that is connected to power
or that is powered on.

Preparing for Installation

Electrical Safety

Electrical Safety
All system components are hot-swappable. They are designed to be removed and replaced while the
system is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system.
Follow these basic guidelines when you are working with any electrical equipment:
•

Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

•

Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a chassis.

•

Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

•

Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

•

Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Never install equipment that appears damaged.

•

Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Warning

When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and
disconnected last. Statement 1046

Warning

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Statement 1001

Warning

Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source. Statement 1004

Site Requirements
This section provides information for environmental, power, cabling, and rack mounting requirements.
Be sure that you have met all of these requirements before you install your Cisco uBR10012 router.

Caution

Warning

The Cisco uBR10012 router installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for use
with copper conductors only. The ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material and
preclude loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material.
Attachment of the chassis ground to a central office or other interior ground system should be made with
a 6-AWG, copper ground conductor at a minimum.

This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be
accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.
Statement 1017

Chapter 2

Preparing for Installation
Site Requirements

Environmental Site Requirements
The environmental monitoring functionality in the Cisco uBR10012 router protects the system and
components from potential damage from excessive voltage and temperature conditions. To ensure
normal operation and avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your site configuration and prepare your site
before installation. After installation, make sure the site maintains an ambient temperature of 41°F
through 104°F (5°C through 40°C), and keep the area around the chassis as free from dust as is practical.
Planning a proper location for the Cisco uBR10012 router and the layout of your equipment rack or
wiring closet is essential for successful system operation. Equipment placed too close together or
inadequately ventilated can cause system excessive temperature conditions. In addition, chassis panels
made inaccessible by poor equipment placement can make system maintenance difficult.
When you plan the location and layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet, you need to consider
how air flows through your router. The Cisco uBR10012 router draws cooling air in through the intake
vent on the front of the chassis and moves the air across the internal components and out the exhaust
vents on the top rear of the chassis (see Figure 2-1 on page 2-6).
Temperature sensors on the PRE monitor the internal air temperature and send warning messages and an
alarm condition when the internal air temperature approaches a specified threshold.
The front bottom and top rear of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and
prevent overheating inside the chassis. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 in. (7.62 cm) from the vents
on the front and back of the chassis to allow for adequate airflow. Do not place the chassis where heated
exhaust air from other systems could enter the air intake vent at the bottom front, as this could cause
overheating of the system.
In addition, allow for approximately 3 to 4 ft (91.44 cm to 121.92 cm) clearance at the front and rear of
the chassis for cabling and normal system maintenance.

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement
1029

To avoid problems during installation and ongoing operation, follow these general precautions when you
plan the equipment locations and connections:
•

Use the show environment command regularly to check the internal system status. The
environmental monitor continually checks the interior chassis environment; it provides warnings for
high temperature and creates reports on any occurrences. If warning messages are displayed, take
immediate action to identify the cause and correct the problem.

•

Keep the Cisco uBR10012 router off of the floor and out of areas that collect dust.

•

Follow ESD prevention procedures (see “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” section on
page 2-2) to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or
intermittent equipment failure.

•

Ensure that the PRE modules, line cards, blank covers, power supplies, and any power supply covers
are in place and secure. The fans direct cooling air throughout the chassis interior; a loose
component or empty slot can redirect the airflow away from active components.

Note

Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033

The Cisco uBR10012 router (using DC power supplies) is not shipped with wiring to connect to a DC
power source. You must provide input, return, and earthing (grounding) wiring at the site, and install and
protect the wiring in accordance with local and national wiring regulations. The Cisco uBR10012 router
input DC terminal block accepts a minimum of 6-AWG wire. An insulation rating of 167° Fahrenheit
(75° Celsius) is required for the 6-AWG wire for 3000W of power.
See Appendix A, “Technical Specifications,” for system power specifications, including input voltage
and operating frequency ranges.

Preparing for Installation
Site Requirements

Plant Wiring Guidelines
When planning the location of the new system, consider the distance limitations for signaling, EMI, and
connector compatibility, as described in the following sections.

Warning

This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building
installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations. Statement 1045

Interference Considerations
When wires are run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur
between the field and the signals on the wires. This fact has two implications for the construction of plant
wiring:
•

Bad wiring practice can result in radio interference emanating from the plant wiring.

•

Strong EMI, especially when it is caused by lightning or radio transmitters, can destroy the signal
drivers and receivers in the Cisco uBR10012 router, and can even create an electrical hazard by
conducting power surges through lines and into equipment. (Review the safety warnings in the
“Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” section on page 2-2.)

Note

To predict and remedy strong EMI, you may also need to consult experts in radio frequency
interference (RFI).

If you use twisted-pair cable in your plant wiring with a good distribution of grounding conductors, the
plant wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference. If you exceed the recommended distances, use a
high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.
If wires exceed recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration
to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other
high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy
electronic devices. If you have had problems of this sort in the past, you may want to consult experts in
electrical surge suppression and shielding.

Cabling Guidelines
The size of your networks and the distances between connections depend on the type of signal, the signal
speed, and the transmission media (the type of cabling used to transmit the signals). For example,
standard coaxial cable has a greater channel capacity than twisted-pair cabling. The distance and rate
limits in the following descriptions are the IEEE recommended maximum speeds and distances for
signaling; however, you can usually get good results at speeds and distances far greater than these. For
example, the recommended maximum rate for V.35 is 2 Mbps, but it is commonly used at 4 Mbps
without any problems. If you understand the electrical problems that might arise and can compensate for
them, you should get good results with rates and distances greater than those shown here; however, do
so at your own risk.
When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco uBR10012 router, you must consider a
number of factors related to each type of interface:
•

The type of cabling required for each type (fiber, thick or thin coaxial, foil twisted-pair, or
unshielded twisted-pair cabling)

Distance limitations for each signal type

•

•

Any additional interface equipment you need, such as transceivers, hubs, switches, modems,

The extent of your network and the distances between network interface connections depend in part on
the following factors:
•

Signal type

•

Signal speed

•

Transmission medium

The distance and rate limits referenced in the following sections are the IEEE-recommended maximum
speeds and distances for signaling purposes. Use this information as a guideline in planning your
network connections prior to installing the Cisco uBR10012 router.

Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Connections
The maximum distances for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network segments and connections depend on
the type of transmission cable being used. The terms 10Base-T and 100Base-T are industry shorthand
nomenclature for the following:
•

10 Mbps transmission rate (10), or 100 Mbps transmission rate (100)

•

Using baseband technology (Base)

•

Site Requirements

Rack-Mounting Considerations
The Cisco uBR10012 router should be rack-mounted for proper operation and maintenance. The
rack-mounting hardware included with chassis is suitable for standard 19-inch equipment racks and
telco-type racks. Optional hardware is available from third-party vendors for mounting in a 23-inch
equipment rack.

Mounting Guidelines
Warning

The chassis should be mounted on a rack that is permanently affixed to the building. Statement 1049

When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
•

Caution

To prevent overheating, never install the chassis in an enclosed rack or room that is not properly
ventilated or air conditioned.
•

Caution

Install the Cisco uBR10012 router in an open rack whenever possible.

Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. You need 24 in. (61 cm) of clearance to
remove and replace system components.

To prevent the rack from tipping when installing the router in telco racks, ensure that the rack is bolted
to the floor and, if necessary, anchored with appropriate fixtures.
•

If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack.

•

Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity and
prevent the rack from falling over.

•

When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

Note

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

•

If you plan to use an equipment shelf, ensure that the shelf is constructed to support the weight and
dimensions of the chassis. Use the rack-mount kit designed for the Cisco uBR10012 router.

•

To mount the chassis between two 19-inch posts or rails, the inner clearance (the width between the
inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 17.3 in. (44 cm).

Note

The height of the chassis is 31.25 in. (79.4 cm).

•

When mounting the chassis in 4-post or telco racks, be sure to use all the screws and brackets
provided to secure the chassis to the rack posts.

•

Install the forward rack-mount brackets before you install the chassis in the rack; and then install
the rear brackets.

Chapter 2

Preparing for Installation

Site Requirements

Warning

•

If you are also using the optional AC-input power shelf, it should be installed immediately below
the Cisco uBR10012 chassis for power cabling convenience. However, install the AC-input power
shelf after you install the chassis.

•

Ensure that the router is connected to earth ground during normal use.

•

Frame ground should be tied to the single building point ground, or the closest return point to
building ground.

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Using Power Strips with a Rack-Mount Installation
Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the mounting strips. If your rack
has a power strip, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points to ensure that you can
slide cards straight out of their respective slots. If the power strip does impair a rack-mount installation,
remove the power strip before installing the chassis in the rack, and then replace it after the chassis is
installed. See the “General Rack Installation Guidelines” section on page 3-3 for additional information
about rack-mounting your system.

Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Installation Methods

Installation Methods
For stability and ease of use, the Cisco uBR10012 router chassis should be mounted in an equipment
rack. The chassis can be mounted in a 19-inch (standard) equipment rack (either the 4-post equipment
rack or the telco-type equipment rack) or in a 23-inch rack.

Note

Caution

For 23-inch racks, optional mounting brackets must be ordered from third-party vendors.

The Cisco uBR10012 router chassis should always be secured in the equipment rack for normal use and
operations.
The rack-mount kit that is shipped with the Cisco uBR10012 router includes four mounting brackets for
mounting the chassis in a standard 19-inch wide equipment rack (4-post equipment rack or telco-type).
One set of mounting brackets is sufficient to properly secure the router chassis, but an additional set can
also be ordered for mounting the chassis from the front and the back.

Note

Although installing the chassis in a rack-mount is preferred for permanent installations, you can mount
the router in an alternate location, such as on an equipment shelf or on a tabletop for testing or diagnostic
purposes.

Preparing the Cisco uBR10012 Router for Rack-Mounting
The Cisco uBR10012 router chassis can be installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or telco rack,
either front or rear mounted, and either flush or offset from the rack.
This section describes the following guidelines and steps that must be followed before rack-mounting
the Cisco uBR10012 router:

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide

3-2

Chapter 3

Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Preparing the Cisco uBR10012 Router for Rack-Mounting

General Rack Installation Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:

Caution

•

The Cisco uBR10012 router chassis requires a minimum of 18 rack units (31.5 in. or 80 cm) of
vertical rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.

•

Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair
rack-mount installation. If a power strip does impair a rack-mount installation, remove the power
strip before installing the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.

•

Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it
back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving
line cards, connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 in. (48.3
cm) of clearance to remove FRUs.

•

Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 in. (7.62 cm) on the front and back of the chassis for the cooling
air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or
directly next to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can
enter the inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.

To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco uBR10012 router in an enclosed rack or room that
is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.
•

If also installing the optional AC-input power shelf, allow at last two rack units below the
Cisco uBR10012 chassis for the power shelf installation. Install the AC-input power shelf after you
have installed the Cisco uBR10012 chassis to avoid the possibility of accidentally crushing the
power shelf during the router’s installation.

•

Cisco recommends installing an optional equipment shelf in the rack for the Cisco uBR10012
chassis because it simplifies installation, but this is not required.

•

Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to
prevent the rack from falling over. However, if you are also installing an AC-power shelf, leave
enough space for the power shelf plus 2 rack units (RUs) underneath the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

•

Ensure that cables from other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the
cards, or require you to disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or
upgrades.

•

Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.

•

Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.

In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature
conditions in the “Temperature and Humidity Requirements” section on page 2-7.

Removing the Chassis Components Before Installation

Removing the Chassis Components Before Installation
The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with all ordered components already installed in the chassis.
When fully configured, the Cisco uBR10012 chassis weighs approximately 230 lbs (104.3 kg).

Caution

You must use a hydraulic lift or forklift to move a fully populated chassis.
If you have to move a fully populated chassis and you do not have a hydraulic lift or forklift available,
you must first remove the following components from the chassis:
•

AC or DC power entry modules (PEMs)

•

Fan assembly module

•

Cable interface line cards

•

Network uplink line cards, Slot splitter, and half-height Gigabit Ethernet line cards

In a fully loaded chassis, these components weigh approximately 170 lbs (77.11 kg), removing the
components allows the chassis to be moved ssfely using two people. Reinstall the components after the
chassis has been moved and installed. Use the following procedures to remove these components.

Before You Begin
•

Make sure that you have an antistatic surface available for the components that you are removing
from the chassis.

•

Make sure that you are wearing antistatic protection such as a wrist strap or heel strap and are
properly grounded.

Removing the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card and the Slot Splitters

Caution

Do not operate the system unless all slots contain a line card or a blank faceplate. Always install a
full-slot blank faceplate into an empty slot. Half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the
empty slot will rob cooling air from the other slots. A slot splitter with one half-height line card and one
blank faceplate is allowed.

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Removing the Chassis Components Before Installation

Removing the Slot Splitter
Use the following procedure to remove a slot splitter from the chassis:
Step 1

Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame).

Step 2

Remove any line cards from the splitter, see the “Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card”
section on page 3-4.
The slot splitter does not have ejector levers to disengage cards from the backplane, so you must remove
any line cards before you remove the splitter.
Loosen the top and bottom captive screws on the slot splitter (Figure 3-3).

Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Attaching the Mounting Brackets

Attaching the Mounting Brackets
The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with four mounting brackets that can be attached to either the
front or rear of the chassis, depending on your mounting preferences. The brackets can be mounted either
flush with the edge of the chassis or set back to allow the chassis to be offset mounted in the rack.
Figure 3-5 shows the mounting brackets shipped with the Cisco uBR10012 chassis for use with a
standard 19-inch equipment or telco rack:
Mounting Brackets for the Cisco uBR10012 Router

58697

Figure 3-5

Note

The four mounting brackets shipped with the Cisco uBR10012 router are for a standard 19-inch
equipment rack or telco rack. Optional mounting brackets are orderable separately from third-party
vendors to install the chassis in a 23-inch rack.
Use the following procedure to attach the mounting brackets to the chassis.

Step 1

Determine whether you will be mounting the chassis with the front or rear facing forwards.

Step 2

Determine whether you will flush-mount or offset-mount the chassis. Typically, flush-mounting is used
for most equipment racks except for telco racks that require offset-mounting. If either style can be used,
choose the one that is most convenient for your site.

Step 3

Attach two mounting brackets to each side of the chassis in the appropriate locations. The large
mounting bracket is attached to the top of the chassis, and the smaller bracket is attached to the bottom
of the chassis.
Attach the brackets as shown in the following figures, using the screws that are supplied with the
brackets:
•

Figure 3-6 shows how to attach the brackets to flush-mount the chassis with the front forwards.

•

Figure 3-7 shows how to attach the brackets to flush-mount the chassis with the rear forwards.

•

Figure 3-8 shows how to attach the brackets to offset-mount the chassis with the front forwards.

rear of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis:
Step 1

Position the first mounting bracket immediately above the cable interface line card installation slots.
Make sure that the portion of the bracket with the slots is above the mounting holes, so that the bracket
will not interfere with the insertion and removal of the line cards. See Figure 3-9.

Step 2

Align the mounting holes on the far left and far right on the bracket first, so that the center mounting
hole will be aligned properly.

Step 3

Use the three screws that are provided in the accessory kit to attach the bracket to the chassis.

Step 4

Attach the bottom cable management bracket in a similar manner, making sure that the slot edge of the
bracket is pointing down. See Figure 3-9.

Note

Step 5

Make sure that the slot edge on the bracket is pointed downward, otherwise the bracket interferes
with the insertion and removal of the cable interface line cards.

Insert cable ties through the slots on the top and bottom of the brackets and use the cable ties as needed
to secure the cables for the line card interfaces along the top and bottom of the chassis.

Installing the Second-Generation Cable Management Bracket

Note

•

You can install the cable management bracket above or below the line card slots. The procedures
and illustrations used in this section shows the installation of cable management bracket above the
line card slot. You can attach the cable management bracket below the line card slot in a similar way.

Mounting the Chassis in the Rack

Mounting the Chassis in the Rack
With the fan assembly, PEMs, and line cards removed from the chassis and the mounting brackets
installed on the chassis, the Cisco uBR10012 chassis is ready for installation in a 19-inch equipment rack
or telco rack. Use the following procedure to install the chassis.

Warning

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to
ensure your safety:
•

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

•

When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest
component at the bottom of the rack.

•

If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in
the rack. Statement 1006

Tip

(Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco uBR10012 router chassis. This simplifies
installation and provides additional support for the chassis. If you are installing an equipment shelf, it
must be able to support the weight of a fully loaded chassis which is approximately 230 lbs (104.3 kg).

Tip

If you are installing the chassis in an equipment rack, it is helpful to have a third person available to
maneuver the chassis into position and attach the brackets to the rack.

Caution

A fully populated chassis weighs approximately 230 lbs (104.3 kg) and should be lifted only with a
forklift or hydraulic lift. A depopulated chassis weighs approximately 55 lbs(24.95 kg) and should be
lifted by two people. When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices, as outlined in
the “Chassis-Lifting Guidelines” section on page 2-3

Warning

Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with
both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. Statement
210

Warning

At least three people are required to mount the shelf in the equipment rack: two people are needed to
hold the shelf in place while a third person tightens the mounting screws. Statement 336

Step 1

Caution

Verify that you have removed the fan assembly module, DC PEMs, cable interface line cards, and
network uplink line cards before attempting to move the chassis (see “Removing the Chassis
Components Before Installation” section on page 3-4).

Do not attempt to lift even a depopulated chassis by yourself. Have at least two people to lift the chassis.
Three people might be needed to position the chassis into a rack, depending on whether you are using
an equipment shelf and on how high you are mounting it.
If you have to lift the chassis to a higher location, have a third person present who can lift the middle of
the chassis as the other two people lift it straight up.

Step 2

With each person standing on a side of the chassis, bend straight down at the knees, and grab one of the
handles on the side of the chassis.

Step 3

Carefully lift the chassis straight up and walk with slow, deliberate steps to your destination.

Caution

To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.

Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Connecting Alarm Indicators

Use the following procedure to connect an alarm indicator to the chassis:
Step 1

Warning

Caution

Step 2

Obtain sufficient wire for the desired connections. You will need two wires for each set of relays, or six
separate wires to connect all three relay contacts. Use the gauge of wire required by the audible or visual
alarm indicator equipment you are using (14 AWG maximum gauge).

Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025

The alarm contacts on the Cisco uBR10012 router are only relays and do not provide any power from
the unit. These relays are rated for 60 VDC, 1 A maximum—ensure that the connected alarm equipment
does not exceed these voltage and current ratings.
Strip approximately 0.31 in. (8 mm) of insulation off the ends of the alarm indicator wire (see
Figure 3-26).
Figure 3-26

Stripping Insulation

58688

8 mm max

Step 3

Caution

Connect one set of alarm indicator wires to the alarm terminal block as follows (see Figure 3-27):
a.

Connect one lead to the common (COM) terminal.

b.

If you are wiring the router in with other equipment for the alarm indicators, wire the other lead to
the normally closed (NC) terminal.

c.

If you are wiring the router in parallel with other equipment for the alarm indicators, wire the other
lead to the normally open (NO) terminal.

Figure 3-27 shows the wiring configuration for NO alarm relays. The wiring configuration for NC alarm
relays is similar but uses the NC contacts.

Step 4

Repeat step 3 for the remaining alarm indicators.

Step 5

Secure the power cabling to the chassis by feeding a tie wrap through the square slot on the left front
side of the chassis (next to the alarm indicator terminal block) and binding the wires.

Installing the Modules

Installing the Modules
To install the modules in the Cisco uBR10012 router:
Step 1

Remove the front cover by pulling the cover towards you and carefully set it aside.
•

Note

Caution

Fan assembly module—Align the module with the slot in the chassis. Push the fan module back
firmly into the chassis, making sure that the module securely connects to the backplane. Tighten the
captive screws on each side of the fan assembly module.

To tighten the captive screws on the fan assembly modules, the installation torque used should
be 8 in-lbs.

The total service window for removal and replacement of the fan tray is 3 minutes before possible system
shutdown. Ensure that you complete the replacement procedure within this time limit.
For more information on installing the fan assembly module, see Cisco uBR10012 Universal
Broadband Router Fan Assembly Module.
•

DC power entry module—Position the DC PEM in the power bay and slide it all the way in and
ensure it makes a secure connection with the backplane.
For information on installing the UBR10-PWR-DC= module, see DC Power Entry Module for the
Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.
For information on installing the UBR10-PWR-DC-PLUS= module, see 3300 W DC Power Entry
Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

•

AC power entry module—Position the AC PEM in the power bay and slide it all the way in and
ensure it makes a secure connection with the backplane.
For information on installing the UBR10-PWR-AC= module, see AC Power Entry Module for the
Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.
For information on installing the UBR10-PWR-AC-PLUS= module, see 3300 W AC Power Entry
Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

Installing the Line Cards and Uplink Cards
After the chassis has been firmly attached to the rack, reinstall the cards in the chassis (also see
Removing and Replacing a Cable Interface Line Card, page 5-41 for details).

Caution

The Cisco uBR10012 router supports only the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card or
Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC16x cable interface line card bundles. Do not install the Cisco uBR10-LCP2
adapter card in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis without either the Cisco MC16x or the Cisco MC28C
installed in the adapter card.

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide

3-44

Chapter 3

Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Installing the Modules

Also, do not attempt to remove the Cisco MC28C card or the Cisco MC16x card from their carriers
(adapter cards) while the they are installed in the chassis. See the “Removing and Replacing a Cable
Interface Line Card” section on page 5-41 for information on this procedure.

Step 1

Grasp the faceplate of the first line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier
(to support the weight of the card) and position the card in front of the appropriate card cage slot.

Step 2

Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the chassis,
and slide the cable interface line card into the slot until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane
connectors (Figure 3-28).

Step 3

Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to
firmly seat the card in the backplane (Figure 3-29).

Step 4

Finger tighten the captive screws to secure the card in the chassis.

Caution

Do not tighten the captive screws until after you insert all the additional cards. Tightening the captive
screws before all the line cards are installed, can cause the installation slot for the last line card to be
restricted and make it difficult to install the card.

Step 5

Repeat Step 1through Step 4 for each cable interface line card and network uplink card.

Step 6

After all the line cards and network uplink cards are inserted, tighten the captive screws. (Torque 5 to
7 in-lbs.)

Tip

Tighten line card 1, then tighten line card 8, tighten line card 2 then line card 7. Alternate back
and forth between the line cards until all of them are secure in the chassis.

Tip

These screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shielding.

Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Installing the Slot Splitter and Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card

Caution

You must use slot 3 or slot 4 when installing the slot splitter and HHGE line card in the Cisco uBR10012
router, using slot 1 or slot 2 will cause the router to shut down those slots.

Caution

Do not install two half-height blank faceplates into the same slot in the slot splitter. Instead, install a
full-slot blank faceplate into the slot. The half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the
empty slot will rob cooling air from the other slots. A slot splitter with one half-height line card and one
blank faceplate is allowed.

Caution

Do not install a line card into the slot splitter before installing the splitter into the chassis. The slot
splitter does not have ejector levers that allow you to seat the line card in the backplane.

Installing the Slot Splitter
You must install the half-height line card into a slot that contains a slot splitter, which can hold two
half-height line cards. If both slots of the slot splitter are not used, then you must install a blank faceplate
in the empty slot.
Follow these steps to install a slot splitter into slot 3 or slot 4 (Figure 3-30) of the Cisco uBR10012
chassis.
Step 1

Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame.

Step 2

Grasp the front of the slot splitter with one hand and place your other hand under the splitter. Position
the splitter in front of the card cage slot.

Step 3

Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the slot splitter with the upper and lower guides in the
chassis, and slide the splitter into the slot until the front is flush with the chassis.

Note

The slot splitter shown in Figure 3-31 has one open slot (top) and one slot with a slot cover
(bottom)

Secure the slot splitter to the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (Figure 3-32).

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Step 2

Grasp the faceplate of the line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier (to
support the weight of the card). Position the card in front of the slot splitter.

Step 3

Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the slot
splitter, and slide the line card about half-way into the splitter.

Step 4

Be sure the ejectors are in the open position (as shown) and continue to push the line card into the splitter
until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors.

Step 5

Verify that the captive screws are properly aligned with the captive screw holes in the splitter. If the
captive screws are not properly aligned, the card will not seat properly in the backplane.

Step 6

Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to

Connecting the Console Port and Auxiliary Port

Connecting the Console Port and Auxiliary Port
The PRE module on the Cisco uBR10012 router has two asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 ports
that provide connections for a console (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software)
and modem for remote access.

Recommended Tools and Supplies
The Cisco uBR10012 router arrives with a console and auxiliary cable kit, which contains the cable and
adapters you need for the most common connections to these devices.
Table 3-6 lists the tools and supplies that you need to connect the Console and auxiliary ports.

A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1
(at one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a
crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand,
side-by-side, with the tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left
plug (pin 1) is the same color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).
Also see “How to Identify an RJ-45 Crossover Cable” section on page B-5.
Use the following procedures to connect to the console and auxiliary ports on a PRE module.

Note

For more information about the console port and auxiliary port connectors, see the “Console and
Auxiliary Port Cables and Pinouts” section on page B-2.

Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Connecting Network Management Cables

Step 5

Make sure that the modem and auxiliary port on the router are configured for the same transmission
speed (38.4 Kbps and 56 Kbps are typical). Configure the modem for auto-answer and for hardware flow
control using the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) and Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signals.

Step 6

Go to the “Connecting Network Management Cables” section on page 3-58 to continue the installation.

Connecting Network Management Cables
The Cisco uBR10012 router has connections to both the internal Ethernet management network and the
external data network. The internal Ethernet management network connections are made through an
Ethernet port on the front panel of the PRE module.These connections are described in the Ethernet
Network Management Cable Connections.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when connecting external cables to the Cisco uBR10012 router:
•

To reduce the chance of interference, avoid crossing power lines with any interface cables.

•

Verify all cabling limitations (particularly distance) before powering on the system.

Ethernet Network Management Cable Connections
The PRE module provides an Ethernet port to a LAN for a 10Base-T or 100Base-T connection for
network management. Use the following procedures to connect the Cisco uBR10012 router to an
Ethernet network.

Note

Each PRE module must have an Ethernet port connection (typically to the same Ethernet hub) if you are
running a redundant configuration in the chassis. However, only the active PRE module has an active
Ethernet connection to the network.

Connecting to a 10Base-T Ethernet Network
To make a 10Base-T Ethernet LAN connection, you need the following additional equipment (not
included):
•

An Ethernet hub (such as a Cisco Micro Hub)

•

An Ethernet cable that meets the following specifications:
– RJ-45 (male) to RJ-45 (male) straight-through cable
– 100-ohm category 3, 4, or 5, no longer than 328 feet (100 meters)

You can identify a straight-through Ethernet cable either by using a cable tester or by making a visual
inspection. To make a visual inspection, hold the two ends of a cable side by side, with the tab for each
at the back.
•

The wire connected to the left-most pin (pin 1) on one connector should be the same color as the
wire connected to the left-most pin on the other connector.

•

The same rule applies to pins 2 through 8 on each connector. The color of the wire attached to a pin
on one connector should match the color of the wire attached to the corresponding pin on the other
connector.

Follow these steps to connect the PRE to a 10Base-T Ethernet LAN.

Caution

The same rule applies to pins 2 through 8 on each connector. The color of the wire attached to a pin
on one connector should match the color of the wire attached to the corresponding pin on the other
connector.

If the Cisco uBR10012 router is used in an environment in which lightning-induced transients are likely
to couple to the signal lines, use of shielded interconnection cables for the 100Base-T ports is highly
recommended. In addition, use of shielded interconnection cables for the 100Base-T ports is required to
meet Telcordia (formerly Bellcore) GR1089 CORE Section 4.5.9 and ETSI Section 5.2.2.2
(intrabuilding lightning surge).
The RJ-45 port on the PRE is configurable for 100-Mbps full-duplex or half-duplex operation
(half-duplex is the default) and supports IEEE 802.3, Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3u interfaces compliant
with 100Base-T specifications.
Follow these steps to connect the PRE to a 100Base-T Ethernet LAN.

Step 1

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the primary PRE, labeled Ethernet
(Figure 3-40).

Step 2

Run the cable up and through the cable management bracket and connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to any unoccupied port on the Ethernet hub.

Tip

When power is applied to the chassis, check the LNK (Link) LED on the PRE faceplate port next to the
Ethernet port. This LED lights (green) if the PRE is correctly connected to the 100Base-T Ethernet LAN.

Basic Configuration Using the Setup Facility
The first time you power on a Cisco uBR10012 router, the setup facility starts. You can also initiate the
facility by running the setup command in privileged EXEC mode. This facility helps you enhance a
default configuration that already exists on the Cisco uBR10012 router. The setup facility uses a
question and answer sequence called the System Configuration Dialog to walk you through configuring
the router.
You do not have to configure the interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the interfaces or
connect them to any networks until you have configured them.

Tip

Basic configuration setup is often used as a quick way to achieve network connectivity, allowing you to
retrieve a configuration file from a TFTP server.

System Configuration Dialog
Use the System Configuration Dialog to help you perform a basic configuration. Proceed through the
dialog by answering questions and then pressing the Enter key. In most cases, you can get additional
information by entering a question mark (?). Throughout the dialog, default values are shown in square
brackets [ ].

Formatting PC Media Cards

Formatting PC Media Cards
The PC media card that shipped with your PRE contains the default Cisco IOS image for booting your
router. This section explains how to format a PC media card, modify its contents, or resolve a problem
with the card.

Caution

Note

The formatting procedure erases all information on the PC media card.

The Cisco uBR10012 router uses PC media cards that are a minimum of 64 MB in size.
Flash memory ATA disks and Flash memory cards use similar commands. The primary syntax change is
that disk0: or disk1: refers to Flash memory ATA disks while slot0: or slot1: refers to Flash memory
cards.
Use the following procedure to format a Flash memory disk:

Step 1

Ensure there is a PC media card in slot 0 or slot 1 of the PRE.

Step 2

Enter the format diskn: command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt to format the card. The example
shows the display after you enter the format disk0: command:
Router# format disk0:
All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm]
Enter volume id (up to 30 characters): MyNewdisk
Formatting sector 1
Format device slot0 completed

The PC media card is ready for use.

Troubleshooting the Installation
This chapter provides basic troubleshooting information to solve the most common installation problems
with the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. Your Cisco uBR10012 router went through
extensive testing before leaving the factory. However, if you encounter problems starting the router, use
the information in this chapter to help isolate the cause of the problems.
This chapter contains the following sections:

Note

•

Troubleshooting Methods, page 4-2

•

Troubleshooting Installation Problems, page 4-3

•

Troubleshooting Ethernet Connections, page 4-4

•

Troubleshooting the Console Port Serial Connection, page 4-5

•

•

Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem, page 4-7

•

Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem, page 4-13

•

Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem, page 4-14

•

Troubleshooting the Line Cards, page 4-16

•

Troubleshooting the HHGE Installation, page 4-17

The procedures in this chapter assume that you are troubleshooting the initial system startup, and that
your router is in the original factory configuration. If you have removed or replaced components or
changed any default settings, the recommendations in this chapter might not apply.
Make sure to review the safety warnings listed in this manual, especially in Chapter 2, “Preparing for
Installation,” before using the troubleshooting procedures in this chapter.

Troubleshooting Methods

Troubleshooting Methods
This section describes the troubleshooting methods used in this chapter and describes how
Cisco uBR10012 routers are divided into subsystems for more efficient problem solving.

Before You Call for Technical Assistance
If you are unable to easily solve the problem, contact a customer service representative for assistance
and further instructions. Provide the representative with the following information:
•

Date you received the router

•

Chassis serial number

•

Type of software and release number

•

Brief description of the problem you are having

•

Brief explanation of the steps you have taken to isolate and resolve the problem

•

Maintenance agreement or warranty information

Problem Solving Using a Subsystems Approach
The key to solving problems with the system is isolating the problem to a specific subsystem. Because
a startup problem is usually caused by a single component, it is more efficient to first isolate the problem
to a subsystem rather than troubleshoot each component in the system. For these troubleshooting
procedures, consider the following subsystems:
•

Power subsystem—Includes the power supply and the external power cable.

•

Processor subsystem—Includes the network processing card, the modular port adapter, the service
module, and the fixed RF ports. The system memory and management functions reside on the
network processing card, and the enabled LED on each port indicates if the port is initialized. A port
adapter that is partially installed in the router can cause the system to hang and crash.

•

Cooling subsystem—Includes the fans.

The following sections help you isolate a problem to one of these subsystems and direct you to the
appropriate troubleshooting section.

•

Remove the rear safety cover and be sure that the fan assembly module cable is connected
securely (see the “Removing and Replacing the Fan Assembly Module” section on
page 5-6).

This may be due to a failure in the fan assembly module (see Fan Failure above), insufficient
ventilation, or high ambient temperature. See the “Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem”
section on page 4-14 for additional information.

Troubleshooting Ethernet Connections
If an Ethernet connection to your Cisco uBR10012 router fails to work properly, and the corresponding
LNK (Link) LED is not illuminated, check for the following problems:
•

Visually check that an Ethernet cable is connected to the correct Ethernet port on the PRE, and that
the other end of the cable is connected to an Ethernet hub that is powered on and functioning
properly.

•

Check to see if you are using the correct type of cable. The cable must meet the specifications given
in the “Connecting to a 10Base-T Ethernet Network” section on page 3-58.

•

The cable might be bad or broken. Replace the cable with a known, reliable straight-through
Ethernet cable, checking to be sure the LNK LED comes on (green).
– If the LNK LED is still not illuminated, it is possible that the Ethernet port might be functioning

properly, but the LED is not working. Check the Ethernet port (by trying to ping over it, for
example) to determine if the problem is due to a bad LED or if the Ethernet link is bad.
•

Make sure the PRE has booted up properly as follows:
– The Status LED should be illuminated (green).
– If the Fail LED is illuminated (yellow), refer to Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem,

page 4-13.

Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting the Console Port Serial Connection

•

Check the hub:
– Is the cable connected into the correct hub port (for example, the hub LED is illuminated, but

the LNK LED on the PRE is not illuminated).
– Be sure that the cable is not connected to an uplink port.
•

If the LNK LED is illuminated (green), but the Ethernet port does not seem to be working properly,
make sure that the port in question is configured properly and is not administratively shut down. If
you have a working console connection, perform the following steps:
– At the router prompt, enter show int fast0/0/0. If the port is administratively down, enter these

commands to enable it:
router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
router(config)# int fast0/0/0
router(config-if)# no shut
router(config-if)# exit
router(config)# exit

– Check that the Ethernet port in question has a valid IP address assigned to it.

Note

The Cisco uBR10012 router also has an internal Ethernet interface, Ethernet0/0/0, which PRE
processors and line cards use to transfer packets between cards. This interface is not user-configurable,
although you can see the configuration and run-time information using the show interface command.
For more information about configuring Ethernet ports, refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Router Software
Configuration Guide at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/configuration/guide/scg.html
If the cable, connections, power, and configuration all check out, and you still cannot connect to the
Ethernet port on the module, you probably need to replace the PRE. Contact the Cisco TAC for further
assistance.

Troubleshooting the Console Port Serial Connection
If the terminal connected to the Cisco uBR10012 router console port appears frozen or fails to work
properly, check for the following problems:
•

Check the console cable and make sure it is properly connected to the correct console port on the
PRE, and to your terminal equipment at the other end.

•

Verify that you are using the right type of cable and adapter. For additional information about cable
pin-outs, refer to the “Connecting the Console Port and Auxiliary Port” section on page 3-55.

•

To be sure the cable is not defective or broken, replace the cable with another high quality cable if
possible.

•

Check that your terminal equipment is working properly and configured with the correct settings for
the console port. The default console port settings are:
– 9600 baud
– 8 data bits
– 1 stop bit

– No flow control
•

Check the LEDs on the PRE to make sure that it is powered up properly.

•

If the cable, connections, power, and terminal settings all check out and you still cannot connect to
the console port on the module, you probably need to replace the PRE. Contact the Cisco TAC for
further assistance. See the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section on
page xvi.

Identifying Startup Problems
Startup problems are commonly due to the source power or to a line card that is not properly seated in
the router. Although an overtemperature condition is unlikely at initial startup, the environmental
monitoring functions are included in this chapter because they also monitor internal voltages.
When you start up the router for the first time, observe the startup sequence described in the “Powering
On the System” section on page 3-66. This provides a detailed description of a normal startup sequence.
LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the state of the LEDs, you can
determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence. Use the following descriptions to
isolate the problem to a subsystem, and then proceed to the appropriate sections to try to resolve the
problem.
When you start up the system by turning the power supply switch to the on (|) position, the following
should occur:
1.

Fans—the fans start operating. The FAN OK LED on the fan assembly module turns green. You
should be able to feel the air being taken in at the bottom front of the router and blown out at the top
rear of the router.
If not, proceed to the “Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem” section on page 4-14.

2.

DC PEM—the POWER LED on each DC PEM turns green to indicate that the PEM is connected to
an active DC power source and is supplying power to the chassis.
– If the FAULT LED is illuminated (yellow), it indicates that the PEM is connected to an active

DC power source but is not providing power to the chassis.
– If the MISWIRE LED is illuminated (yellow), it indicates that the wires from the DC power

source to this DC PEM are reversed.
– Proceed to the “Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem” section on page 4-7.
3.

PREs—the FAIL LED on the PRE modules briefly lights during the power-on sequence and then it
turns off. If the FAIL LED remains on, try removing and reseating the PRE module, and verify that
the card is fully inserted and that both locking levers are fully down in the locked position.
If the FAIL LED remains on, make a note of the failure code that appears in the PRE module’s LCD
screen and call TAC for instructions.

4.

Line cards—Verify the line card “Enabled” LEDs.
Each line card has an enabled LED that goes on initially at power-on and then goes off. The LED
then goes on and remains on when the corresponding port is enabled and configured for operations.
If an enabled LED fails to go on at initial power-on, or if the LED fails to go on and remain on after
the port is enabled and configured, proceed to the “Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem” section
on page 4-14.

Note

The slot 0 and slot 1 LEDs only go on when the PC media card slot is being accessed by the system.
These LEDs remain off during normal operation of the router and do not indicate startup problems.
5.

The initial system banner displays on the console screen.
If it is not displayed, see the “Connecting Network Management Cables” section on page 3-58 to
verify that the terminal is set up correctly and that it is properly connected to the router’s console
port.

Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem
The AC power entry modules, DC power entry modules, or an AC power shelf combined with the DC
power modules are used to power on the Cisco uBR10012 router.

Troubleshooting the AC Power Subsystem
The following troubleshooting steps are applicable to both the AC PEM (UBR10-PWR-AC= and
UBR10-PWR-AC-PLUS=) modules.
Use the following steps to isolate a problem with the AC power subsystem.

Step 2

Verify that the temperatures are within the valid operating ranges, and that the fan assembly and both
AC PEM modules are present and OK.
a.

If this is not the case, check for the following issues:
– Fan is reported MISSING—Insert the fan assembly or shut down the router immediately to

avoid running the router beyond its operating temperature range.
– AC PEM is not listed—Verify that both AC PEMs are present, and if so, that each PEM is fully

inserted into the chassis.
– The “Input/Output Voltage Fault” message indicates that the output voltage from one of the AC

PEMs is not within the correct range. This can occur when the input AC voltage to the AC PEM
is either too low or too high. Measure the input AC voltage, and if it is correct, the AC PEM has
failed and should be replaced.

Note
b.

Wall input voltage for the AC PEM must be 200 - 240 VAC at 50/60Hz.
Verify if the UBR10-PWR-AC-PLUS= AC PEM show environment command output displays a DC

Note

Step 3

The show environment command provides accurate information on the 3300 W AC PEM if the
Cisco uBR10012 router is running a supported Cisco IOS Release. If using an earlier Cisco IOS
release, the show environment command will not correctly identify the error messages of the
3300 W AC PEM.

Verify if the AC power cables are installed into the AC PEM receptacles and the facility power source is
turned on. The AC power enable switch is set to the Standby (0) position.
a.

Check if the AC PEM is receiving power.

If these LEDs are not illuminated, check the external wiring and facility power source. If the
fans are working and are audible, it indicates that the AC PEM is receiving power, so there could
be a possibility that the LEDs are not working.
– The FAULT LED should illuminate (yellow).

If this LED is not illuminated, there could be a possibility that the LED is not working, therefore
the LED cannot indicate a valid fault on the PEM.
b.

Step 6

If the above LEDs do not illuminate but you are confident that PEM is receiving power, you can
proceed to power on the PEM, see AC Power Entry Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal

illuminated, the AC PEM should be replaced. See the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a
Service Request” section on page xvi.

Verify if the UBR10-PWR-AC-PLUS= AC PEM is powered on, and the V1 POWER and V2 POWER
LEDs are illuminated (unless they may not be working, as above). The AC power enable switch on the
AC PEM is set to the ENABLE (|) position.
a.

The FAULT LED should stop illuminating. If it remains illuminated, the AC PEM should be
replaced because this is a valid fault. See the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service
Request” section on page xvi.

b.

The POWER LED should illuminate (green). If this LED does not illuminate, and the FAULT LED
is not illuminated, there might be a possibility that the POWER LED is not working. You may need
to verify if the PEM is providing valid power to the system by checking the AC PEM voltage and
current using the Cisco IOS Release running on the router. Contact technical support for assistance,
see the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section on page xvi.

The FAULT LED is illuminated (yellow).
a.

The FAULT LED illuminates when the PEM module detects an over-voltage or over-current
condition, or when the PRE issues the command to shut down the PEM module (this could occur
due to overheating). Ensure that none of these conditions exist in the system, and then try to switch
the PEM module off and switch it on again.

b.

If another PEM module exists in the system that powers up the chassis, and the FAULT LED is not
illuminated on that module, then ensure that the PRE does not issue the command to shut down the
PEM module.

c.

If the problem persists, try another working unit. Else, see the “Obtaining Documentation and
Submitting a Service Request” section on page xvi.

If none of the above suggestions correct the problem, the AC PEM could be faulty. Contact a service
representative for further instructions. See the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service

Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem

Note

When using the external AC-input power shelf, the show environment command provides information
on whether a power module in the power shelf is missing, is reporting a fault, is experiencing an
over-temperature condition, or is not receiving AC-input power. For information on the external
AC-input power shelf and on connecting it to the DC PEM, see Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband
Router Hardware Installation Guide.

Step 7

Check to see if the DC power source supplying the proper power to the DC PEMs? (If you are using the
2400W AC-input power shelf, look to verify that the AC OK and DC OK LEDs are illuminated for each
of the AC power supplies.)

Step 8

a.

If no, and if the DC power source is connected to a valid power outlet, troubleshoot the DC power
source.

b.

If yes, turn off the DC power source and remove the DC PEM from the chassis. Verify that the DC
power source is correctly wired to the terminal blocks underneath each PEM. See the “Connecting
DC Power to the Cisco uBR10012 Router” section on page 3-39 for details.

If none of the above suggestions correct the problem, the DC PEM could be faulty. Contact a service
representative for further instructions. See the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service
Request” section on page xvi.

Troubleshooting the 2400 W AC-Input Power Shelf
Check the following to isolate a problem to the AC-input power shelf.
Step 1

Check to see which version of the PEM you have in the chassis.
a.

If the Cisco uBR10012 router is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF or a later release, you can
use the show environment command to monitor the AC-input power shelf.

b.

If the DC PEM status is either “External AC Supply Fault” or “Input/Output Voltage Fault,” a
problem exists with the AC-input power shelf.
– The “External AC Supply Fault” message indicates that one of the power modules is reporting

either a fault, an over-temperature condition, or is missing. Check the LEDs on the front panels
of the power modules on the external power supply to discover which module has the fault.
c.

Step 2

If the “Input/Output Voltage Fault” message indicates that one of the power modules is not receiving
AC-input power then, check the LEDs on each power module, check that each power module is
plugged into an AC-input power outlet, and that those outlets are providing power.

Verify that the DC and AC OK LEDs are illuminated.
a.

If yes, then the power shelf is operational.

b.

If not, do the following:

Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem

– Make sure that the AC power cord is correctly plugged in to both the AC-output wall outlet and

in to the back of the AC-input power shelf. (A separate power cord is used for each power
supply.)
– Make sure that the AC power supply is properly inserted, seated, and locked. If necessary,

remove the AC power supply and reinsert it.
– Check the external AC power source.
– Swap the AC power supply with one of the others. If the failure follows the power supply,

replace the power supply. If the failure remains in that particular power bay, double-check the
external AC power source and the power cord connections; if they are correct, contact the
Cisco TAC for additional troubleshooting information.
c.
Step 3

If only DC OK LED is not illuminated, then check the wiring to the Cisco uBR10012 router
DC-input terminal blocks.

Check to see if the FAULT LED is illuminated (yellow), if it is then:
– Check that the external AC power source is supplying consistent AC voltage at the proper levels,

without spikes or brownouts.
– Flip the circuit-breaker for the external AC power source.
– Replace the power supply with a known good replacement.
Step 4

If none of these measures work, contact a service representative for instructions. See the “Obtaining
Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section on page xvi.

Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem
The processor subsystem on the Cisco uBR10012 router consists of the performance routing engine
(PRE) modules and the timing, communication, and control plus (TCC+) cards. At system startup, the
following sequence should appear on the primary PRE.
1.

The FAIL LED briefly comes on (yellow), turn off, and the STATUS LED starts flashing (yellow).

2.

A series of messages appear on the PRE alphameric display indicating the progress of the boot-up
sequence.

3.

Upon successful completion of the boot-up sequence, the message IOS RUN appears on the
alphanumeric display.

4.

The STATUS LED comes on (green) to indicate this is the primary PRE.

The sequence on the redundant PRE is similar, except that the STATUS LED remains OFF and the
messages on the alphanumeric display are slightly different. The final message upon a successful
boot-up sequence is IOS STBY to indicate that this is the redundant PRE operating in stand-by mode.
Use the following procedure to troubleshoot the PRE modules.
Step 1

Check the following if a problem appears on one of the PRE modules.
a.

Did the STATUS LED on the primary PRE light solid (green) at the end of the boot-up sequence?

b.

If no, check the other LEDs on other modules in the chassis. If no other LEDs are lit, check for a
problem in the power subsystem, as described in the “Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem”
section on page 4-7.

the slot, check for any bent or broken pins on the backplane connectors, and reinsert it, ensuring it
makes solid contact with the backplane and is securely locked in by firmly closing both locking
levers.

d.

If no, but the FAIL LED is lit (yellow), remove the PRE and reinsert it. If that fails, insert a new
PRE. If that fails, contact TAC for assistance.

Repeat the above steps for the redundant PRE, except that its STATUS LED should be OFF and its
alphanumeric display should read IOS STBY if it is operating correctly.
a.

If both PREs are operating correctly, check the Power LEDs on each TCC+ card. Are the POWER
LEDs on each TCC+ card lighted (green)?

b.

If no, remove the TCC+ card and reinsert it, making it sure it firmly connects to the backplane and
that both captive screws are tightly connected.

c.

If yes, proceed to the next step.

Verify the Status LEDs on the TCC+ card.
a.

Is the STATUS LED on the primary TCC+ on (solid green) indicating that it is the primary card?

b.

Is the STATUS LED on the secondary TCC+ flashing (green) indicating that it is the redundant card?

c.

If no, verify that the version of Cisco IOS on the router supports the TCC+ card.

Contact TAC for assistance if necessary. See the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service
Request” section on page xvi.

Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
The following troubleshooting steps are applicable to both the fan assembly (UBR10-FAN-ASSY= and
UBR10012-FAN-PLUS=) modules.
Check the following to help isolate a problem with the cooling system.
Step 1

When you start up the system, do the fans start operating?
When the fans are operating, you should be able to hear them. You should also be able to feel air being
drawn in at the bottom front and expelled at the top rear of the chassis.
a.

Check for fan failure by checking the fan status LEDs and running the show environment
command.

Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem

If the problem persists, see the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section
on page -xvi.
Step 2

Are the two LEDs —SINGLE FAN FAIL and MULTI FAN FAIL—illuminated (yellow)?
Remove the fan assembly module and reinsert it. If this does not help, examine the LED that is
illuminated. Else see, “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section on
page -xvi.

Step 3

Are the following messages displayed?
These messages indicate that the system has detected a critical over-temperature condition or
out-of-tolerance power inside the chassis.
Queued messages:
00:01:19:%ENVM-4-ENVWARN:+2.5 V measured at +2.59
00:01:19:%ENVM-4-ENVWARN:+5.15 V measured at +5.31

core measured at 31C/87F
inlet measured at 27C/80F
outlet 1 measured at 30C/86F
outlet 2 measured at 30C/86F

Although an over-temperature condition is unlikely at initial startup, ensure that heated exhaust air from
other equipment is not entering the inlet vent of the router and that there is sufficient clearance around
the sides of the chassis to allow cooling air to flow.

Note

Step 4

The message could also indicate a faulty component or temperature sensor. Use the show environment
or show environment table command to display the internal chassis environment.
Is the PRODUCT ID LED/switch on fan assembly module illuminated (green) and a FAN-MISSING
alarm is randomly being triggered?
If you are running a Cisco IOS Release that does not support the PRODUCT ID LED/switch feature,
then ensure that the PRODUCT ID LED/switch is not pressed and is not illuminated. Upgrade to a
supported Cisco IOS Release on the chassis.

Note

If you cannot upgrade to a supported Cisco IOS Release, then ensure that the PRODUCT ID
LED/switch is not pressed and not illuminated (green).

If you are running a Cisco IOS Release that supports this feature, but the FAN-MISSING alarm is still
being triggered, then follow the steps below to clear the alarm so that the software recognizes the fan
module:
a.

Ensure that the PRODUCT ID LED/switch is pressed and illuminated (green).

b.

Remove the fan assembly module.

c.

Wait for 1 minute and reinsert the fan assembly module.
If the alarm is still being triggered, and the software still does not recognize the fan, then the fan
may be faulty, you may have to replace the fan module.
If none of the above solves the problem, see the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a
Service Request” section on page -xvi.

Troubleshooting the Installation

Troubleshooting the Line Cards

If you experience trouble with the startup, and the issue is not resolved with these procedures, manually
power off the router and contact a service representative for assistance and further instructions, see the
“Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section on page -xvi.

Troubleshooting the Line Cards
Check the following to help isolate a problem to a line card.
Step 1

Verify that all the “Enabled” LEDs are on.
If yes, the system is operational.

Step 2

Step 3

Check to see if any “Enabled” LEDs are off.
a.

If the enabled LED on a line card is off, first verify that the line card has been enabled and configured
for operations. The enabled LED remains off when a line card has not been configured and enabled.

b.

If a port has been enabled but its corresponding enabled LED is still off, reseat the line card in its
slot (you do not have to turn off the system power when removing or replacing line card). After the
system reinitializes the interfaces, the enabled LED on the line card should go on.

c.

If the enabled LED remains off after the above checks, it is likely that the system has detected a
processor hardware failure. Contact a service representative for instructions. See the “Obtaining
Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section on page xvi.

Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router
The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router is configured to your order and ready for installation
when it arrives. After you install the system, you may have to perform specific maintenance procedures
to ensure the router is operating properly. These procedures can include routine maintenance such as
replacing the filter, upgrading system components, or replacing components with field replaceable units
(FRUs).
This chapter contains the information necessary to perform the following maintenance operations for the
Cisco uBR10012 router:

Before beginning any FRU procedure, be sure you are familiar with the safety precautions outlined in
Chapter 2, “Preparing for Installation.”
System components fall into two categories: hot-swappable components that do not require you to power
off the system before replacing them, and those components that do require you to power off the system
before you replace them. For example, all line cards are hot-swappable and can be replaced without
powering off the system, but you must power off the system before replacing a single power entry
module (PEM) or a single performance routing engine (PRE).

Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Shutting Down the System

Caution

Cisco recommends that you create a duplicate PC media card that contains the current boot software
image and the current software configuration. You can use the backup card to quickly recover from a
major system failure. You can also use a backup card to load a new PRE module and avoid the
time-consuming reconfiguration process. For instructions to create a backup PC media card, refer to the
Cisco uBR10012 Router Software Configuration Guide.

Shutting Down the System
Although most components in the Cisco uBR10012 router are hot-swappable, you may have to shut
down the system under certain circumstances. Use the following procedure to shut down the system.
Step 1

Notify appropriate personnel that you plan to shut down the system and that the shutdown results in total
loss of service. Appropriate personnel includes the regional alarm or network monitoring center, central
office personnel, and key customers.

Step 2

Before you shut down the router, use the copy command to save any configuration changes to the
NVRAM, and also, if you want, to a PC media card. For instructions on using the copy command, see
Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Software Configuration Guide.

Step 3

Power down the system by setting the power switch on all PEMs to the Standby (0) position.

Step 4

If you are also using the optional AC-input power shelf, also disconnect the AC power cord for each of
the AC-input power modules from the power outlet.

Warning

This unit has more than one power supply connection; all connections must be removed completely
to completely remove power from the unit. Statement 102

Required Maintenance Tools
The only tools required to perform the maintenance procedures described in this chapter are:
•

A Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

•

A flat-blade screwdriver

•

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

Removing and Replacing the Front Cover
The Cisco uBR10012 router is equipped with a plastic front cover that ensures proper airflow through
the system and protects the cables and connectors from damage. The following procedures describe how

Replacing the Air Filter
If the air filter is dirty or clogged, the fan assembly module could have a problem providing sufficient
cooling airflow throughout the chassis, causing the system to overheat. To prevent a potential
overheating problem, you should replace the air filter approximately every 6 to 12 months, depending
on how clean and dust-free your operating environment is normally. In certain environments where the
air quality is poor, you may have to replace the filter more frequently.

Removing and Replacing the Fan Assembly Module
Caution

The Cisco uBR10012 chassis should not be run without a working fan assembly module for more than
three minutes. To prevent the possibility of the system overheating, be sure that the replacement fan
assembly module is out of its box and packaging, so it is ready to install as soon as the defective module
is removed.
The fan assembly module does not need to be replaced when it is operating normally. However, if either
of the two failure LEDs come on, the fan assembly module should be replaced:
•

SINGLE FAN FAILURE—This yellow LED indicates that one of the four fans in the module has
failed. The module can still provide enough cooling to safely operate the Cisco uBR10012 chassis,
but it might begin operating the fans in its high-speed mode to do so. If this LED lights, the fan
assembly module should be replaced as soon as is conveniently possible.

•

MULTIPLE FAN FAILURE—This yellow LED indicates that two or more fans in the module have
failed, and that the module is no longer able to consistently cool the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. To
prevent overheating the chassis and possible damage to the line cards and other modules, the fan
assembly module should be replaced immediately.

Chapter 5

Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Removing and Replacing DC Power Entry Modules

If the failure LEDs—SINGLE FAN FAILURE and MULTIPLE FAN FAILURE—are illuminated,
remove and reinsert the fan assembly module. If the failure LEDs are still illuminated, replace the fan
assembly module. The fan assembly module supports hot-swapping and can be replaced without
interrupting system operation.
For more information about removing and replacing the fan assembly module, see Cisco uBR10012
Universal Broadband Router Fan Assembly Module.

Removing and Replacing DC Power Entry Modules
The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with two DC power entry modules (PEM) that provide a
redundant power supply to the system. One DC PEM can provide sufficient power for a fully configured
chassis, so that if one DC PEM fails, the other automatically begins providing power for the entire
system. However, the system should not be run for an extended period time with only one DC PEM. If
a DC PEM fails, install a replacement DC PEM as soon as possible.

Note

You do not need to shut down the Cisco uBR10012 router to replace a redundant DC PEM. And, if you
are replacing both DC PEMs, you can replace one, bring it online, and then replace the other one to avoid
shutting down the entire system.
The DC PEM is operating correctly when its POWER LED lights (green). Replace a DC PEM if either
of the PEM failure LEDs light (yellow):

Warning

•

MISWIRE—This LED indicates that the wires connecting the PEM to DC power source were wired
incorrectly. The DC PEM therefore needs to be removed so that the wiring can be corrected. After
the wiring has been corrected, the same DC PEM can be reinserted. See “Connecting Alarm
Indicators” section on page 5-7 for more information.

•

FAULT—This LED indicates that the DC power source is supplying power but that the DC PEM is
not providing power to the system.ced.

Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.
To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC
circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit
breaker in the OFF position. Statement 7

For more information on removing and replacing the DC PEM module, see DC Power Entry Module for
the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.
For more information on removing and replacing the 3300 W DC PEM, see 3300 W DC Power Entry
Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

Connecting Alarm Indicators
The Cisco uBR10012 router provides relay contacts for optional (customer-supplied) audible or visual
alarm indicators. Relay contacts are provided for three levels of severity:
•

Minor—This is an informational alarm and does not affect the system operation.

•

Major—A condition that affects system operation and should be investigated as soon as possible.

•

Critical—A condition that affects system operation and requires immediate attention.

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter 5

Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Connecting Alarm Indicators

If you did not connect the alarm indicators when you originally installed the Cisco uBR10012 chassis,
use the following procedure to connect an alarm indicator to the system. For safety and convenience
reasons, you need to remove power from the DC PEM on the right side (DC PEM “B”) and remove that
DC PEM for easier access to the alarm indicators terminal block.
For more information on removing and replacing the DC PEM module, see DC Power Entry Module for
the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.
For more information on removing and replacing the 3300 W DC PEM, see 3300 W DC Power Entry
Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

Attaching the Alarm Wires
For each alarm indicator being connected (minor, major, or critical), use two wires that are long enough
to reach between the Cisco uBR10012 chassis and the alarm indicator equipment. Use the gauge of wire
required by the audible or visual alarm indicator equipment you are using (14 AWG maximum gauge).

Warning

Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025

Caution

The alarm contacts on the Cisco uBR10012 router are only relays and do not provide any power from
the unit. These relays are rated for 60 VDC, 1 A maximum—ensure that the connected alarm equipment
does not exceed these voltage and current ratings.

Step 1

For each pair of wires, strip not more than 0.3 inches (8 mm) of insulation off of the ends of each wire
(see Figure 5-5).
Figure 5-5

Stripping Insulation

58688

8 mm max

Step 2

Connect one end of each pair of alarm indicator wires to the alarm terminal block as follows:
a.

Connect one lead to the common (COM) terminal.

b.

If you are wiring the router in series with other equipment for the alarm indicators, wire the other
lead to the normally closed (NC) terminal.

c.

If you are wiring the router in parallel with other equipment for the alarm indicators, wire the other
lead to the normally open (NO) terminal.
Figure 5-6 shows the wiring configuration for normally open (NO) alarm relays.

Step 3

Connect the other end of this pair of alarm indicator wires to the appropriate connectors on the alarm
indicator equipment. Route these cables through the square hole on the bottom right side of the chassis,
as you face the front of the chassis.

Step 4

Repeat steps through 3 for the remaining alarm indicators.

Step 5

Secure the cabling to the chassis by feeding a tie wrap through one of the round holes next to the large
hole on the side of the chassis. Then use the tie wrap to bind the cables to the chassis.

Removing and Replacing AC PEM Modules
The Cisco uBR10012 router ships with two AC power entry modules (PEMs). In this redundant system,
(2 power supplies), one AC PEM provides sufficient power for a fully configured chassis. If one AC PEM
fails, the other automatically begins providing power for the entire router, without impacting system
operations. However, even though one AC PEM provides sufficient power for a fully configured
Cisco uBR10012 chassis, the system should not be run for extended periods of time with only one AC
PEM. Always install the replacement AC PEM as soon as possible and order a spare for backup.

Caution

For proper airflow, cooling, and safety, do not remove the failed unit until the replacement unit is
available for installation.

Caution

The Cisco uBR10012 router supports using either the AC PEM or the DC PEM, but it does not support
mixing AC and DC PEMs. Both PEMs must be either AC PEMs or DC PEMs.
The AC PEMs use standard 200–240 VAC (50/60 Hz) input power obtained through power receptacles
on the front panel of each PEM. The two AC PEMs convert the AC power to provide filtered, redundant,
and load shared DC power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

Caution

Tip

The AC PEMs cannot be used with a 100–120 VAC input power source.

For fully redundant power protection, use either an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a separate
AC-input power source for each AC PEM.

Removing and Replacing the PRE Module

Note

You do not need to shut down the Cisco uBR10012 router to replace a redundant AC PEM. If you are
replacing both AC PEMs, you can replace one, bring it online, and then replace the other one to avoid
shutting down the system.
For information on removing and replacing the AC PEM, see AC Power Entry Module for the Cisco
uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.
For information on removing and replacing the 3300 W AC PEM, see 3300 W AC Power Entry Module
for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

Removing and Replacing the PRE Module
It is not necessary to configure the PRE module if you are installing or replacing a second PRE. The
system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the primary PRE.

Removing the PRE Module
Use the following procedure to install a new PRE module, or to replace an existing PRE module.
Step 1

Be sure you are properly grounded.

Step 2

Step 8

If you are installing a new or replacement PRE module, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, install a
blank cover over the slot and screw down its captive screws to conclude this procedure.

Note

For proper cooling and airflow, a blank PRE module cover should always be installed when a second
PRE module is not installed.
The product order number for the blank PRE module cover is ESR-PRE-COVER=.

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement

Removing and Replacing the PRE Module

Replacing the PRE Module
When replacing a PRE1 module with a PRE2 module, you must also install EMI gaskets and RF absorber
material, for more information, go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/installation/field_replaceable_units/pre2gkit.h
tml
Step 1

Grasp the faceplate of the new PRE module with one hand and place your other hand under the card
carrier (to support the weight of the module) and position the card in front of the card cage slot.

Step 2

Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the PRE module with the upper and lower guides in the
chassis, and slide the module into the slot until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors
(see Figure 5-10).

Note

For proper cooling and airflow, a cover must always be installed in a blank TCC+ card slot. The product
order number for the blank TCC+ card cover is UBR10-TCC+-COVER=.

Warning

Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might
disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate
the system unless all cards and faceplates are in place. Statement 1029

Pick up the replacement TCC+ card and position it in front of the card cage slot.

Step 9

Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the chassis,
and slide the line card into the slot so that it firmly seats in the backplane connectors (see Figure 5-17).

Step 10

Caution

Secure the line card in the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (see Figure 5-15).

Always tighten the captive screws on each TCC+ card. These screws prevent accidental removal and
provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

Step 11

When fully inserted, the TCC+ card cycles through its power-on self-test. The Power LED lights (green)
and the Status LED then briefly lights (yellow). If this is the primary (or only) TCC+ card, the Status
LED then lights a solid green. On the backup TCC+ card, the Status LED should start flashing green
after a few moments. If these LEDs do not operate as described, go to the “Troubleshooting Installation
Problems” section on page 4-3.

Step 12

Connect the clock cables to the TCC+ card.

Caution

The TCC+ card can connect only to a national clock source such as a GPS receiver or Building Integrated
Timing Supply (BITS) clock. The Cisco uBR10012 router does not support directly connecting the
RJ-45 connectors on the TCC+ cards to an outside plant line or telco-provided T1/E1 clock source. You
can use an outside or telco-provided T1/E1 clock source only by connecting the source to the TCC+
cards using a CSU/DSU or other equipment that is approved to FCC part 68 and ANSI/UL1950 for the
connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

Note

It is not necessary to configure the TCC+ card if you are installing a replacement card in the same slot.
The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the PRE module.

Step 13

Configure the TCC+ card if necessary (see the “Formatting PC Media Cards” section on page 3-71.

Step 7

If you are installing a new or replacement card, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, install a blank cover
over the slot and screw down its captive screws to conclude this procedure.

Warning

Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might
disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate
the system unless all cards and faceplates are in place. Statement 1029

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide

5-24

Chapter 5

Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Removing and Replacing a Network Line Card

Installing the Network Line Card
Note

For proper cooling and airflow, a blank card cover must always be installed in a blank line card slot. The
product order number for the blank card cover is ESR-LC-Cover=.

Step 1

Grasp the faceplate of the new card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier (to
support the weight of the card) and position the card in front of the card cage slot.

Step 2

Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the chassis,
and slide the line card into the slot until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors (see
Figure 5-21).

Step 4

Caution

Secure the network line card in the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (see
Figure 5-18).

To ensure that there is adequate space for additional line cards, always tighten the captive screws on each
newly installed line card before you insert any additional line cards. These screws prevent accidental
removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

Step 5

When fully inserted, the card cycles through its power-on self-test. The Fail LED stays on briefly (about
5 to 6 seconds) and then shuts off. If the Fail LED remains on or is flashing, go to the “Troubleshooting
the Line Cards” section on page 4-16.

Step 6

Reconnect any network interface cables to the card.

Step 7

Configure the network line card if necessary (see the “Formatting PC Media Cards” section on
page 3-71, or refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Router Software Configuration Guide, for information about
configuring the card).

Note

It is not necessary to configure the network card if you are installing a replacement card in the
same slot. The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from
the PRE module.

Removing the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card and the
Slot Splitter
This section describes how to properly remove and replace HHGE line cards and the slot splitter from
the chassis. This section includes the following tasks:

Chapter 5

Caution

Do not operate the system unless all slots contain a line card or a blank faceplate. Always install a
full-slot blank faceplate into an empty slot. Half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the
empty slot will rob cooling air from the other slots. A slot splitter with one half-height line card and one
blank faceplate is allowed.

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Chapter 5

Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Removing the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card and the Slot Splitter

Removing the Slot Splitter
Use the following procedure to remove a slot splitter from the chassis:
Step 1

Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame).

Step 2

Remove any line cards from the splitter according to the “Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line
Card” section on page 5-27.
The slot splitter does not have ejector levers to disengage cards from the backplane, so you must remove
any line cards before you remove the splitter.

Step 3

Loosen the top and bottom captive screws on the slot splitter (Figure 5-25).

Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Replacing the Slot Splitter and Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card

Replacing the Slot Splitter and Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line
Card
This section describes how to install the line card in the Cisco uBR10012 router. This section includes
the following tasks:
•

Installing the Slot Splitter, page 5-32

•

Installing the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card, page 5-35

Caution

You must use slot 3 or slot 4 when installing the slot splitter and HHGE line card in the Cisco uBR10012
router, using slot 1 or slot 2 will cause the router to shut down those slots.

Caution

Do not install two half-height blank faceplates into the same slot in the slot splitter. Instead, install a
full-slot blank faceplate into the slot. The half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the
empty slot will rob cooling air from the other slots. A slot splitter with one half-height line card and one
blank faceplate is allowed.

Caution

Do not install a line card into the slot splitter before installing the splitter into the chassis. The slot
splitter does not have ejector levers that allow you to seat the line card in the backplane.

Installing the Slot Splitter
You must install the half-height line card into a slot that contains a slot splitter, which can hold two
half-height line cards. If both slots of the slot splitter are not used, then you must install a blank faceplate
in the empty slot.
Follow these steps to install a slot splitter into slot 3 or slot 4 of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
Step 1

Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame (Figure 5-21).

Step 4

Warning

Secure the slot splitter to the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (Figure 5-28).

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Step 2

Grasp the faceplate of the line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier (to
support the weight of the card). Position the card in front of the slot splitter.

Step 3

Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the slot
splitter, and slide the line card about half-way into the splitter.

Step 4

Be sure the ejectors are in the open position (as shown) and continue to push the line card into the splitter
until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors.

Step 5

Verify that the captive screws are properly aligned with the captive screw holes in the splitter. If the
captive screws are not properly aligned, the card will not seat properly in the backplane.

Step 6

Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to
firmly seat the card in the backplane (Figure 5-22).
The line card cycles through its power-on self-test. The FAIL LED lights during portions of the POST
(Power-On Self Test), but remains off after POST on a properly working line card. If the FAIL LED
remains on, go to the “Troubleshooting the HHGE Installation” section on page 4-17.

Step 7

Caution

Secure the line card in the slot splitter by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (Figure 5-31).

To ensure that there is adequate space for additional line cards, always tighten the captive screws on each
newly installed line card before you insert any additional line cards. These screws prevent accidental
removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

Maintaining the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Removing and Replacing an SFP Module

Removing and Replacing an SFP Module
Your HHGE line card is shipped with an SFP module installed. Use the procedures in this section if you
need to change the SFP module:
•

Removing an SFP Module, page 5-38

•

Inserting an SFP Module, page 5-40

Use only SFP modules supplied by Cisco with your HHGE line card. Each SFP module contains an
internal serial EEPROM that is security-programmed by the SFP manufacturer with information that
provides a way for Cisco (through Cisco IOS software) to identify and validate the SFP module as a
module type that is tested and qualified by Cisco to operate properly with your line card. Unapproved
SFP modules (those not purchased directly from Cisco) do not work with the HHGE line card.

Types of SFP Modules
SFP modules from different manufacturers provide different methods for freeing the locking pin and
removing the SFP module. Figure 5-32 shows two available module types.
Mylar Tab SFP Module and Bale Clasp SFP Module

module out of its receptacle.

•

Bale Clasp SFP—Opening the bale clasp releases the locking pin so you can remove the SFP module
from its receptacle.

Removing an SFP Module
Use the following procedure to remove an SFP module from the HHGE line card.

Note

Step 1

You can remove an SFP module while the system is powered on, but the interface shuts down.
Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame.

Step 3

Unlock and remove the SFP module as follows:
a. Mylar Tab SFP Modules—Gently, but firmly pull the plastic tab to free the locking pin and

remove the SFP module (Figure 5-34).

Do not twist the Mylar tab when you remove the SFP module. Twisting the tab may disconnect
it from the module.

Caution

b. Bale Clasp Modules—Open the bale clasp to release the locking pin and remove the SFP

module (Figure 5-34).
Step 4

Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the removed SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean,
and place the module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.

Inserting an SFP Module
Use the following procedure to insert an SFP module into the HHGE line card.
Step 1

Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame.

Upgrading to a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card

Step 2

Gently insert the SFP module into the line card port until the edge connector is fully seated in the
connector. You will hear a click as the triangular pin on the bottom of the SFP module snaps into place
(Figure 5-35).

Step 3

Remove the dust plug from the SFP module optical ports and plug the LC-type fiber-optic cable
connector into the SFP module (see Figure 5-35).

Upgrading to a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
This section provides instructions for upgrading from two full height Gigabit Ethernet line cards to
half-height Gigabit Ethernet line cards.

Note

Verify that you have a PRE2 installed in the router and that you are using the latest IOS software, IOS
software release 12.3(13)BC or later.
To upgrade from the full-height GigE line card to the HHGE line card, perform the following steps:

Step 1

Verify traffic is passing through slot 3 and slot 4.

Step 2

Administratively shut down the line card in slot 3 and let traffic reroute through slot 4.

Step 3

Remove the full height line card in slot 3.

Step 4

Install the slot splitter into slot 3.

Step 5

Install the half height card in the slot splitter 3/0/0 or slot 3/1/0.

Step 6

Configure and bring up the ethernet card in slot 3/0/0 or slot 3/1/0.
Refer to Configuring the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal
Broadband Router at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/cable/line_cards/ubr_hh_ge/configuration/guide
/hhgefm10.html

Step 7

Repeat this procedure for the GigE line card in slot 4.

Removing and Replacing a Cable Interface Line Card
Use the following procedure to install a new cable interface line card, or to remove or replace an existing
cable interface line card in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The following cable interface line cards are
supported:
•

Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U, UBR10-MC5X20S=, UBR10-MC5X20U=

•

Cisco UBR-MC20X20V, UBR-MC20X20V-20D=, UBR-MC20X20V-5D=, UBR-MC20X20V-0D=

Removing and Replacing a Cable Interface Line Card

Tip

To prevent alarms from activating, you must administratively shut down a cable interface line card before
hot-swapping it. Otherwise, inform the network administrator that this portion of the network will be
temporarily interrupted. If the maintenance LED is lighted, you can remove the line card without
affecting systems operations.

Removing the Cable Interface Line Card
Step 1

Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal, unpainted surface on the chassis or
frame.

Step 2

Face the back of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. Clear aside enough interface and power cables to allow
sufficient space to work.

Step 3

If installing a new cable interface line card in a blank slot, remove the blank slot cover and discard.
Otherwise, disconnect all coaxial cables from the cable interface line card being replaced or removed.

Step 4

Unscrew the top and bottom captive screws on the cable interface line card (see Figure 5-36).

Step 7

If you are installing a new or replacement cable interface line card, proceed to the next step. Otherwise,
install a blank cover over the slot and screw down its captive screws to conclude this procedure.

Note

For proper cooling and airflow, a blank cable interface line card cover must always be installed in a blank
line card slot.
The product order number for the blank cable interface line card cover is UBR10-MC-Cover=.

Warning

Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might
disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate
the system unless all cards and faceplates are in place. Statement 1029

Installing a Cable Interface Line Card
Step 1

Grasp the faceplate of the new cable interface line card with one hand and place your other hand under
the card carrier (to support the weight of the card) and position the card in front of the card cage slot.

Step 2

Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the cable interface line card with the upper and lower guides
in the chassis, and slide the cable interface line card into the slot until you can feel it begin to seat in the
backplane connectors (see Figure 5-38).

Step 4

Secure the cable interface line card in the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (see
Figure 5-36).

Tip

If you are installing more then one card, wait until all the cards are installed before tightening the captive
screws.

Tip

Captive screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shielding.

Step 5

When fully inserted, the cable interface line card cycles through its power-on self-test. The POWER
LED lights (green) and the STATUS LED lights (yellow). If the card is operating correctly, the STATUS
LED then starts lighting green. If these LEDs do not operate as described, see the “Troubleshooting the
Line Cards” section on page 4-16.

Removing and Replacing a Cable Interface Line Card

Step 6

Connect all downstream and upstream coaxial cables to the cable interface line card as necessary.

Step 7

Configure the cable interface line card if necessary (refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Router Software
Configuration Guide for information about configuring the line card).

Note

It is not necessary to configure the cable interface line card if you are installing a replacement
card in the identical slot. The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration
information from the PRE.

Ports at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps332/products_tech_note09186a0080094ce6.shtml

Coaxial Cables
The coaxial cable used to connect the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband routers at the headend
should be very high-quality cable.
Cisco recommends that you use a headend-grade coaxial cable or a quad-shield coaxial cable to connect
the cable modem cards to the HFC network. The center conductor must be straight and extend 1/8 in.
(3.2 mm) beyond the end of the connector, and the connector should be securely crimped to the cable.
The following headend cables are recommended:
•

59-series cable (preferred) —20 AWG (0.032 in./0.81 mm diameter) silver plated, copper-clad, steel
center conductor; bonded foil inner shield; 95% braid second shield; non-bonded foil third shield;
95% braid fourth shield.

•

59-series quad shield—20 AWG (0.032 in./0.81 mm diameter) copper-clad steel center conductor;
bonded foil inner shield; 53% braid second shield; non-bonded foil third shield; 34%-35% braid
fourth shield.

•

6-series quad shield—18 AWG (0.0359 in./0.91 mm diameter) copper-clad steel center conductor;
bonded foil inner shield; 60% braid second shield; non-bonded foil third shield; 40%-42% braid
fourth shield.

Cable Specifications

Console and Auxiliary Port Cables and Pinouts

Note

Any of the three of the coaxial cables listed can be used to connect a Cisco cable interface card to the
HFC network; however, the consistent use of 59-series cable is preferred. If you connect an 59-series
cable to a cable interface card that was previously connected using 6-series cable, the difference in the
center connector diameter might cause intermittent connectivity loss.
If you use different types of coaxial cable, the following problems can appear:

Caution

•

Damage to Cisco uBR10012 router cable interface card connectors—Cable interface card
connectors are designed for 59-series or 6-series cable and connectors. Larger cables can damage
the connectors.

•

Poor return loss—High quality cable and correct connectors help to ensure an optimal return loss of
16 dB or more.

Poorly shielded coaxial cable may result in undesired signal leakage (egress), interference from
over-the-air signals (ingress), or crosstalk between cables in close physical proximity.

Console and Auxiliary Port Cables and Pinouts
The router arrives with a console and auxiliary cable kit, which contains the cable and adapters you need
to connect a console (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) or modem to the
router. The console and auxiliary cable kit includes:
•

RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable

•

RJ-45-to-DB-9 female data terminal equipment (DTE) adapter labeled TERMINAL

•

RJ-45-to-DB-25 male data communications equipment (DCE) adapter labeled MODEM

Fast Ethernet Port Cables and Pinouts
The 10Base-T/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u specifications for
10-Mbps and 100-Mbps transmission over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. Each Fast Ethernet port
on the router has an RJ-45 connector to attach to Category 3 or Category 5 UTP cables.

Note

•

Use a Category 3 UTP crossover cable when connecting 10Base-T port to a hub.

•

Use a Category 3 UTP straight-through cable when connecting to a PC or other Ethernet device.

•

Use a Category 5 UTP crossover cable when connecting 100Base-TX to a hub.

•

Use a Category 5 UTP straight-through cable when connecting to a PC or other Ethernet device.

Cisco Systems does not supply Category 3 or Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cables; these cables are available
commercially.

How to Identify an RJ-45 Crossover Cable
You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cables
side-by-side with the tab at the back. The first (far left) colored wire (pin 1) at one end of the cable is
the third colored wire (pin 3) at the other end of the cable. The second colored wire (pin 2) at one end
of the cable is the sixth colored wire (pin 6) at the other end of the cable. See Figure B-4.

Cable Specifications

Fiber-Optic Cables and Connectors

Step 3

After arranging the wires in the correct order, cut them back so there is about 1/2 inch available to install
in the connector.

Step 4

Push the cable into the connector so that the jacket is past the plastic wedge at the rear of the connector
and the wires are at the end of the connector underneath the gold crimping pins. Make sure each wire
goes into the appropriate location.

Step 5

Use your crimping tool to crimp the cable. Check your connection by tugging slightly on the cable.
Recrimp as necessary.

Note

When you use the crimping tool, the plastic wedge is pressed into the cable jacket to hold the
cable in place and the crimping pins are pushed down into the wires in the connector channels.

Use a single-mode or multimode fiber-optic interface cable to connect your Cisco uBR10012 router to
another router or switch.
In general, multimode cables are gray or orange, and single-mode cables are yellow.

Note

Single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cables are not available from Cisco Systems, Inc.
For SONET or SDH single-mode and multimode fiber-optic connections, use one duplex SC-type
connector (Figure B-9) or two simplex SC-type connectors. (See Figure B-10.)

Frequency Allocation
This appendix provides information on broadcast and cable television NTSC and PAL/SECAM
standards and frequencies used around the world.
There are three standards for transmitting video. They are defined by the method of encoding color onto
a monochrome signal. The methods are defined as:
•

NTSC—National Television System Committee.
NTSC is the current standard used for analog television in the United States and elsewhere. NTSC
supports color television transmission in a 6 MHz channel bandwidth and has 525 interlaced scan
lines. Two fields are interlaced to make one frame with a frame rate of 29.97 frames per second and
a field rate of 59.94 fields per second. A fraction (~8%) of the available bandwidth is used for signal
synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver giving an effective resolution of 640x480.
The aspect ratio, or ratio of picture width to picture height, is 4:3.

•

PAL—Phase Alternating Line.
PAL is a composite color system similar to NTSC. In PAL, however, the color difference signals
alternate phase at the horizontal line rate. PAL video consists of a 625-line frame, a frame rate of 25
Hz, and a field rate of 50 Hz. As with NTSC, ~8% of the available bandwidth is used for
synchronization yielding an effective resolution of 768x576. The aspect ratio is 4:3. The PAL
standard and it's variants are used primarily in Europe, China, Asia, Africa, Australia, Brazil, and
Argentina.

•

SECAM—SEquential Couleur Avec Memoire.
SECAM is a color television broadcasting system using 625 picture lines and a 50-hertz (Hz) field
rate, in which the two color-difference signals are transmitted sequentially instead of
simultaneously.

General NTSC information is covered in Table C-4 and Table C-5. General PAL/SECAM information is
covered in Table C-7. Use the information in Table C-1, Table C-2, and Table C-3 to compare analog
television standards used around the world.
Check these Web sites for more information about world-wide frequency allocation.

PAL/SECAM Cable Television Channels and Relative
Frequencies
Table C-7 provides information on the Phase Alternating Line (PAL) and SEquential Couleur Avec
Memoire (SECAM) frequency map for standard 7and 8 MHz channel bands in Europe.
The FCS (reference subcarrier frequency) for color integration is different for different countries. As
well, the channel/frequency designations is different for different countries. For a summary of the ITU
designations for PAL/SECAM systems and Recommendation ITU-R BT.470.6 standards, refer to
Table C-1, Table C-2, and Table C-3. These tables provide general information that may help determine
frequency allocations for specific countries. Table C-7 is a frequency allocation table for PAL B and G
locations. Also note that some countries use different schemes for VHF and UHF. Table C-8 is a
frequency allocation table for PAL D and K locations for the People’s Republic of China.
More information can be found at the Web sites listed on page E-1.

Note

The downstream frequency plan will include all center frequencies between 112 and 858 MHz on 250
kHz increments. It is up to the operator to decide which frequencies to use to meet national and network
requirements

IP

Internet Protocol. Network layer protocol in the TCP/IP stack offering a connectionless internetwork
service. IP provides features for addressing, type-of-service specification, fragmentation and
reassembly, and security. Defined in RFC 791.

IP multicast

Routing technique that allows IP traffic to be propagated from one source to a number of destinations
or from many sources to many destinations. Rather than sending one packet to each destination, one
packet is sent to a multicast group identified by a single IP destination group address.

IR

Intermediate reach. SONET/SDH specification for transmit power and receive sensitivity that achieves
a 9.3-mile (15-km) reach.

ISP

Internet Service Provider. A company that provides Internet access to other companies and individuals.

L
LAN

Local-area network. High-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small geographic area
(up to a few thousand meters). LANs connect workstations, peripherals, terminals, and other devices
in a single building or some other geographically limited area. LAN standards specify cabling and
signaling at the physical and data link layers of the OSI model. Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring are
widely used LAN technologies. Compare with MAN and WAN.

Line card

Any I/O card that can be inserted in a modular chassis.

LMI

Local Management Interface. A set of enhancements to the basic Frame Relay specification. LMI
includes support for a keepalive mechanism, which verifies that data is flowing; a multicast
mechanism, which provides the network server with its local DLCI and the multicast DLCI; global
addressing, which gives DLCIs global rather than local significance in Frame Relay networks; and a
status mechanism, which provides an on-going status report on the DLCIs known to the switch. Known
as LMT in ANSI terminology.

Local-area network

See LAN.

Loopback test

A test in which signals are sent and then directed back toward their source from some point along the
communications path. Loopback tests are often used to test network interface usability.

LOS

Loss of signal. A SONET port status indicator that activates when an LOS defect occurs and does not
clear throughout the alarm integration period, which is typically 2.5 seconds. An LOS defect occurs
when the OC-3 port receives all zeros for 20 microseconds (+.3 ms). This occurrence begins the alarm
integration period. If this period elapses without the detection of two consecutive frames in which there
are no 20-ms periods of signal loss, the LOS indicator activates. The LOS indicator clears when an LOS
defect is not detected for an interval equal to the alarm deactivation period (typically 10 seconds).

WRED

Weighted Random Early Detection. RED uses an algorithm to randomly discard packets.The result of
the drop is that the source detects the dropped traffic and slows its transmission. WRED combines the
capabilities of the RED algorithm with IP precedence. This combination provides for preferential
traffic handling for higher-priority packets. It can selectively discard lower-priority traffic when the
interface starts to get congested and provide differentiated performance characteristics for different
classes of service.
