Tools For Installation; Initial Configuration Information - Cisco 7000 Series Hardware Installation And Maintenance Manual

Tools for Installation

The chassis is fully assembled at the factory; no assembly is required. Following are the tools and
equipment you will need to install the chassis and the rack-mount kit:
•
Number 1 Phillips and 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdrivers to tighten the captive installation screws
on the interface processors (most interface processor carriers use slotted screws, but some use
Phillips-head screws).
•
If you are installing the chassis in a rack, you will also need the following tools:
— Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
— 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver
— Tape measure
— Level (if needed)
•
If you will connect FSIP EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, X.21, or EIA-530 serial interface cables
to a connection device that uses metric hardware, you will need a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver
to replace the standard thumbscrews with M-3 metric thumbscrews.
•
If your Ethernet interface cables use thumbscrews instead of the slide-type locks used on EIP
ports, you will need a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to replace the slide locks with jackscrews.
To perform maintenance on chassis components, or to replace components, you need the following
tools:
•
Number 1 Phillips and 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdrivers for the captive installation screws on the
interface processors
•
3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive slotted screws on the chassis cover panel
•
Number 1 Phillips screwdriver for the power harness cover and backplane cover (you must
remove the backplane cover to remove or replace the power supply or the arbiter)
•
Number 2 Phillips screwdriver for the power supply and fan tray
•
Antistatic mat or antistatic foam pad if you will remove interface processors or replace
components on the board
•
Your own ESD grounding strap or the disposable ESD strap included with the system

Initial Configuration Information

After you install the chassis and verify that all the hardware is operating properly, you must
configure the system and individual interfaces before you can connect to external networks. You can
use the setup command facility or standard configuration commands to enter the configuration
information.
Before you begin, you should be prepared with global (system-wide) parameters such as host names,
passwords, and routing protocols, and with configuration information for each interface such as
addresses, rates or speeds of operation, routing protocol specifics, and so on. Following is some of
the information you are likely to need, depending upon your configuration:
•
Host name for the router.
•
Passwords to prevent unauthorized privileged-level access to the EXEC command interpreter and
for individual virtual terminal lines.
•
Protocols you plan to route.
