Installing the Power Components
This chapter provides an overview of the AC and DC power systems and how to install the power modules
and input power cables into the Cisco NCS 6000 Fabric Card Chassis (FCC). For information about removing
power components, see the
Power System Overview
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC can be configured with either an AC input power system or a DC input power
system. Site power requirements differ, depending on the source voltage used.
For information about power safety requirements, see the
the Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers.
Prerequisites
Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning power connections to the FCC:
• Check the power at your site before installation to ensure that you are receiving clean power (free of
• Install proper grounding to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
Installing the Fabric Card Chassis Ground Cable
The FCC has two safety earth ground connections. You can connect the central office ground system or interior
equipment grounding system to either of these grounding points on the rear side of the FCC. One chassis
ground is located near the top of the FCC and one chassis ground is located at the bottom of the FCC. These

  • Page 1 Powering On and Powering Off the Fabric Card Chassis, page 23 Power System Overview The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC can be configured with either an AC input power system or a DC input power system. Site power requirements differ, depending on the source voltage used.
  • Page 2: Required Tools And Equipment

    Do not remove the FCC ground cable unless the FCC is being replaced. Required Tools and Equipment You will need to provide the following tools and equipment: • Number-2 Phillips screwdriver • Ground lug • Ground cable Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Fabric Card Chassis Hardware Installation Guide...
  • Page 3 • Two M6 bolts with integrated square cone locking washers (shipped pre-installed on the FCC, two at each grounding point). • 2-6-AWG multistrand copper ground cable. This cable is not available from Cisco; it is available from any commercial cable vendor such as Panduit (see http://www.panduit.com). The cable should be sized according to local and national installation requirements.
  • Page 4 Use the torque wrench to tighten the bolts to a torque of 30 in-lb (3.39 N-m). Step 4 Connect the other end of the ground cable to a grounding point at your site, according to site requirements. Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Fabric Card Chassis Hardware Installation Guide...
