Power Considerations

Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning power connections to the Cisco 7206:

Tools for Installation

Your Cisco 7206 chassis is fully assembled at the factory; no assembly is required. However, you will
need the following tools and equipment to install the chassis and the rack-mount and cable-management
kit:

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 maximum and minimum voltages and creates reports on any occurrences. If
warning messages are displayed, take immediate action to identify the cause and correct the
problem.
We recommend keeping the Cisco 7206 off the floor and out of any area that tends to collect dust.
Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge
can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
Ensure that the network processing engine, I/O controller, port adapters, any blank port adapters,
power supplies, and any power supply filler plates 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.
Check the power at your site before installation and periodically after installation to ensure that you
are receiving clean power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Install proper grounding to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
Note
The Cisco 7206 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.
The Cisco 7206 chassis employs two threaded M5 chassis grounding receptacles, located on
the rear of the chassis, which are intended to be bonded directly to the central offices or other
interior ground system. The chassis ground requires M5 screws and locking hardware, which
are not included. (For instructions on how to properly ground the chassis, refer to
