About the Cisco NCS 4016 and Cisco NCS 4009 Chassis
The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis contains an upper card cage and a lower card cage, where the Route Processor
Cards (RP), Line Cards (LC) and Fabric Cards (FC) are installed. The Cisco NCS 4009 chassis contains a
single card cage where the RPs and LCs are installed. The FCs are installed beneath this card cage. The
following table indicates the slots available for the supported cards:

Both the NCS 4016 and NCS 4009 are rack mountable. It is compatible with the following standard rail
spacing:
• ANSI 19-inch or 23-inch
• ETSI
For the ANSI 19-inch rack, the minimum front opening must be 17.72 inches (450 mm) to allow for chassis
insertion.The installation kit includes different brackets for each type of rack.

The chassis contains its own power and cooling systems. Power systems are available using AC or DC power.
Cisco NCS 4016 has two fan trays located in the top and bottom slots of the chassis. NCS 4009 has one fan
tray located in the top slot of the chassis.
The installation of the chassis may require space, power, and cooling modifications to a facility. Therefore,
you should plan the site well in advance of the scheduled delivery of the chassis system.

There are two air outlets on the rear of the NCS 4016. One is at the top behind the ECU and one is below the
bottom fan tray. For NCS 4009, there is one air outlet on the top of the chassis, below the power tray.

Chassis Components
This table lists the main components of the chassis.
Table 1: Main Components of the Chassis
DescriptionComponent
These cards provide the intelligence of the system by functioning as the system
controller and providing route processing and chassis management. The RP cards
also monitor system alarms and control the system fans. The LEDs on the front
panel indicate active alarm conditions.
Route Processor Cards
(RPs)
The FCs provide the switch fabric for the routing system and performs the
cross-connect function of the routing system, connecting every LC to each other.
The switch fabric receives ingress user data from one LC slot and performs the
switching necessary to route the data to the appropriate egress LC slot.
Fabric Cards (FCs)
These cards provide the physical interfaces and optical connections for the user
data.
Line Cards (LCs)
The ECU provides all shelf electrical I/O connectivity to the active and standby
route-processor line cards. The ECU is located behind the craft panel.
External Connection
Unit (ECU)
The craft panel can install, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the chassis
applications at the node and at the network level. The craft panel is located on top
of the ECU.

Chassis Components

DescriptionComponent
The fan tray cools the card rack. A fan tray contains six axial fans. The fans pull
cooling air through the chassis from the front to rear.
NCS 4016 has two fan trays that are inserted into the front of the chassis at the
top and bottom. NCS 4009 has only the top fan tray behind the craft panel.
Fan Trays
NCS 4016 has two independent air filters, located in the middle of the chassis
behind the plastic inlet grill. One is dedicated to the top card rack and the other to
the bottom card rack. In NCS 4009, there is only one air filter and it is located
above the slots of the fabric cards.
Air Filter
Two power trays, AC and DC, provide redundant power to the chassis. A power
tray is a field serviceable unit (FSU). A mixture of AC and DC power is not
supported in the chassis.
Power Trays
The chassis has fiber management features for the front side only. For the NCS
4016, the horizontal fiber management brackets are located above and below the
card cages. For NCS 4009, the horizontal fiber management bracket is located
above the card cage.

Safety Guidelines
Before you perform any chassis installation procedures, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid
injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
Power off the system before removing or installing a power tray.
Note
The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. The guidelines do not include all
hazards. Be alert.
• Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself.
• Keep the work area clear and dust-free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris to enter
into any laser-based components.
• Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, and other items that could get caught in the chassis while working
with the chassis and its components.
• Use Cisco equipment in accordance with its specifications and product-usage instructions.
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Make sure that your installation follows national and local electrical codes: in the United States, National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United States National Electrical Code; in Canada, Canadian
Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1; in other countries, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
60364, part 1 through part 7.
• Connect only a DC power source that follows the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in
UL/CSA/IEC/EN 60950-1 and AS/NZS 60590 to the DC input power system.
• Make sure that you have a readily accessible two-poled disconnect device incorporated in the fixed
configuration wiring of a DC input power system.

Safety Guidelines

• Make sure that you provide short-circuit (overcurrent) protection as part of the building installation.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly
handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. We recommend use of an ESD-preventive wrist strap
whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components. For guidelines to prevent ESD damage,
see Preventing Electrostatic Discharge, on page 29
Two ESD jacks are provided, one at the top of the chassis and one at the bottom of the chassis.

CHAPTER 2
Mounting the Chassis
This chapter describes how to secure the chassis in the rack.
Unless otherwise specified, “chassis” refers to both Cisco NCS 4016 chassis and Cisco NCS 4009 chassis.
Note
To install two Cisco NCS 4016 chassis in a single rack, you will need to have a minimum vertical opening
of 48 RU. If you are using the DC Power Front Connection Adapter, only one chassis will fit into the rack.
Note
•Preparing the Rack for Chassis Installation, on page 7
•Preparing to Mount the Chassis in a Rack, on page 9
•Mounting the Chassis into a Rack, on page 24
Preparing the Rack for Chassis Installation
Install the chassis into one of the following standard racks:
• ANSI 19-inch or 23-inch (2- or 4-post)
• ETSI
For the ANSI 19-inch rack, the minimum front opening must be 17.72 inches (450 mm) to allow for chassis
insertion.
Note
If you are installing a single chassis in a rack, the chassis must go in the middle or bottom portion of the rack
or follow your company chassis mounting practices.
At the bottom of the rack, keep 1 rack unit free to allow for removal of the bottom fan tray.

To bolt the rack to the floor, a floor bolt kit (also called an anchor embedment kit ) is required. For information
on bolting the rack to the floor, consult a company that specializes in floor mounting kits. Make sure that floor
mounting bolts are accessible, especially if annual re-torquing of bolts is required.
