Page 27: Interference Considerations
Strong EMI can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms and even create an electrical hazard by causing power surges through power lines into installed equipment. These problems are rare, but could be catastrophic. -
Page 28: Rack-Mounting Guidelines
Lightning and AC Power Fault Interference If signal wires exceed recommended cabling distances, or if signal wires pass between buildings, you should consider the effect that a lightning strike in your vicinity might have on the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms. -
Page 29: General Rack-Selection Guidelines
• Do not step or stand on any component or system when servicing other systems or components in a rack. • When mounting the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms 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 30: Equipment Rack Guidelines
Locating for Safety If the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms 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. -
Page 31: Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
• 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.

Step 2 Lift the chassis into position on the equipment shelf or tabletop. Step 3 through Step 9 are optional if you are installing the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms Note on a rack shelf. The chassis rack-mount brackets must be installed prior to installing the cable-management brackets. -
Page 38: Verifying Rack Dimensions
• 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. • Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms to keep cables organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. 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. -
Page 39: Attaching The Front Rack-Mount Brackets
Locate the threaded holes on the side of the chassis. Ensure that you hold the front rack-mount bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis. The following figures show where to attach the front rack-mount brackets to the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms. -
Page 40: Attaching The Rear Rack-Mount Brackets

Page 43: Chassis Ground Connection
Chassis Ground Connection Procedure Step 1 Align the cable-management bracket to the rack-mount bracket on one side of the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platform. The cable-management bracket aligns to the top hole of the chassis rack-mount bracket. Step 2 Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert one screw through the top screw hole of the cable-management bracket and into the chassis rack-mount bracket and tighten the screw. -
Page 44: Attaching A Chassis Ground Connection
Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate chassis ground. Connecting Cables Keep the following guidelines in mind when connecting any external cable to the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platform: • To reduce the chance of interference, avoid crossing high-power lines with any interface cables. -
Page 45: Connecting The Console Port Cables
For information about how to change the default settings to meet the requirements of your terminal Note or host, see the Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide. Step 3 After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal. -
