    • The site meets the environmental requirements. • The site’s air conditioning system can compensate for the heat dissipation of the Cisco NCS 4201. • The floor space that the Cisco NCS 4201 occupies can support the weight of the system.
  • Page 32: Site Selection Guidelines

    Cisco NCS 4201 Specifications. For an outside plant installation (cell site cabinet, hut etc.), it is required that the Cisco NCS 4201 be protected against airborne contaminants, dust, moisture, insects, pests, corrosive gases, polluted air or other reactive elements present in the outside air.
  • Page 33 Preparing for Installation Air Flow Guidelines Figure 5: Air Flow in the Cisco NCS 4201 To ensure adequate air flow through the equipment rack, it is recommended that you maintain a minimum clearance distance as mentioned below, at all times.
  • Page 34: Floor Loading Considerations

    • Avoid installing the Cisco NCS 4201 in a location in which the chassis air intake vents may draw in the exhaust air from adjacent equipment. Consider how the air flows through the chassis; the airflow direction is front to back, with ambient air drawn in from the vents located on the sides of the chassis.
  • Page 35: Site Power Guidelines

    The Cisco NCS 4201 can be powered by a DC source or an AC source. Ensure that equipment grounding is present and observe the power-strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all the products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80% of the rating.
  • Page 36: Asynchronous Terminal Connections

    Asynchronous Terminal Connections The Cisco NCS 4201 provides a console port to connect a terminal or computer for local console access. The port has an RJ-45 connector and supports RS-232 asynchronous data with distance recommendations specified in the IEEE RS-232 standard.
  • Page 37: Rack-Mounting Guidelines

    • Do not step on or stand on any component or system when servicing other systems or components in a rack. • When mounting the Cisco NCS 4201 in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
  • Page 38: Equipment Rack Guidelines

    Locating for Safety If the Cisco NCS 4201 is the heaviest or the only piece of equipment in the rack, consider installing it at or near the bottom to ensure that the rack’s center of gravity is as low as possible.
