Part

• Port adapter documentation for configuring the interfaces

• T1 channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) that converts the High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)

synchronous serial data stream into a T1 data stream with the correct framing and ones density to connect a serial port

to a T1 network. (Some telephone systems require a minimum number of 1 bits per time unit in a data stream, called ones

density.) Several T1 CSU/DSU devices are available as additional equipment, and most provide a V.35, EIA/TIA-449, or

EIA-530 electrical interface.

Prepare for Workbench or Tabletop Installation

For a workbench or tabletop installation, verify the following before installing the router:

• The router is off the floor and has adequate ventilation.

• An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for the router.

• The router has at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (sides of router).

• The router has 19 inches (48.3 cm) clearance at the front and rear to allow for field-replaceable unit (FRU) replacement or

installation, or to access cables or equipment.

• Port adapter and power supply filler panels are installed if port adapters and a second power supply are not installed. There

must be no empty slots.

For cable-management bracket installation instructions, see page 8 and 9.

Prepare for Rack-Mount Installation

Make these decisions before you begin the rack-mounting tasks:

• Decide whether or not you want to front- or rear-mount the chassis.

• Decide whether or not you want to attach cable-management brackets.

• Determine the type of rack—four-post or two-post—that you will be using.

Install the CompactFlash Disk, GBICs, and SFPs on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2

Note

The NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 shis with the CompactFlash Disk, GBICS, and SFPs installed.

If you need to install CompactFlash Disks, GBICs or SFPs into the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, do so before you rack-mount the router.

If you do not have an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 in the router, skip to the "Rack-Mount the Router" section on page 10.

Part

• AC power cable-retention clip
