CHAPTER 1
Overview
This chapter provides pertinent information that you should know about the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis before
unpacking and moving it into a rack.
The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis contains two slots for route processor (RP) cards, sixteen slots for line cards
(LC), and four slots for fabric cards (FC). The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis is rack mountable. It is compatible
with the following standard rail spacing:
•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
•Chassis Packaging, page 1
•Verifying the Securing Location, page 2
•Safety Guidelines, page 3
Chassis Packaging
The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis arrives on the primary system pallet with a label that describes the contents.
Cards are shipped on a separate card pallet. The complete details on the contents of each pallet reflect the
customer’s sale order, which is reported on the parts identification label on the pallet or shipping manifest.
The primary system pallet contains the chassis, which is covered with a corrugated master shipper packing
crate held together with plastic bands.
The chassis is shipped with the following components already installed:
•Fan trays
•Power trays (AC or DC)
•Power modules
Cisco Network Convergence System 4000 Series Unpacking, Moving and Securing Guide
1

•External connection unit (ECU)
•Craft panel
•Cosmetic door
The RP, LC, and FC card slots are populated with filler cards.Note
The card pallet contains the route processor cards (RPs), fabric cards (FCs), and line cards (LCs).
The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis is shipped in a double-wall carton on a standard shipping pallet. Always transport
the chassis in its original packaging and make sure that the system is transported and stored in an upright
position. If you plan to store system components before the installation, be sure to store the components
carefully and in their original shipping containers to prevent accidental damage.
Verifying the Securing Location
Before moving the chassis into position, make sure that you have properly prepared the site so that there is
sufficient room for installation and maintenance. Verifying the recommended space ensures that you have
enough space available to perform the initial installation of the chassis and its components.
The floor plan for the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis must include enough space to install the chassis in the equipment
rack and allow sufficient airflow for the system. The floor plan must also provide enough room to access
chassis components for maintenance (for example, to remove fan trays, power modules, cables, and air filters).
For chassis installation, make sure that enough room exists in front of the chassis to accommodate installation
personnel and the lifting device used to hold the chassis in the rack while it is bolted to the rack.
Front and Rear Clearances
The site requires the following front and rear clearances for chassis installation and maintenance access:
•To install the chassis in the equipment rack: approximately 23.6 inches (60 cm)
•To service components and allow system airflow in front of the chassis: 36 inches (91.4 cm)
•To service components and allow system airflow behind the chassis: 24 inches (61 cm)
If the chassis in installed in a cabinet with doors, note the following restrictions:
•The chassis can be placed in a cabinet with the front and rear doors at least 80% open in front of the
inlet and exhaust openings of the chassis.
•The distance between the inlet/exhaust and the door can be as small as 6 inches, but the door should be
facing to an open isle.
•A foot of clearance at front and back should be maintained from the inlet/exhaust and a solid object.

Verifying the Securing Location

The following figure shows the service area flooring in a lab from the top of the chassis.

For details on making your site ready for the chassis, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
for the Cisco Network Convergence System 4000 Series Chassis.
Safety Guidelines
Before you perform any procedure in this document, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid
injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
Caution
The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. Guidelines do not include all hazards.
Be alert.
Review the safety warnings listed in Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco NCS
Network Convergence System 4000 Series before installing, configuring, or troubleshooting any installed
card.
Note
•Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself.

Overview
Safety Guidelines

•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 associated components.
•Use Cisco equipment in accordance with its specifications and product-usage instructions.
•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
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 strap whenever
you handle network equipment or one of its components.
Follow these guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Connect
the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD jack or bare metal surface on the chassis.
•Handle a card by its ejector levers, when applicable, or its metal carrier only; avoid touching the board
or connector pins.
•Place a removed card board side up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If you plan to
return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
•Avoid contact between the card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from only ESD voltage
on the body: ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage.
When unpacking and setting parts aside, it is important to set them either in their original antistatic
packaging or on an antistatic mat to avoid ESD damage.

CHAPTER 2
Unpacking the Chassis
This chapter describes how to unpack the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis.
Use the complete Cisco Systems packaging for shipment of product or components. Failure to properly
use Cisco packaging may result in damage or loss of the product.
Caution
•Unpacking the Chassis, page 5
Unpacking the Chassis
The chassis is shipped on a pallet by itself and is enclosed in a corrugated box, held in place by plastic bands.
Prerequisites
Before performing this task, be sure to have sufficient room around the chassis pallet for unpacking.
Required Tools and Equipment

Steps
To unpack the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis, follow these steps:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Carefully move the pallet containing the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis to the staging area where you plan on
unpacking it.
2. Cut the plastic bands holding the chassis shipping box in place.
3. Remove the six plastic clips on the outer sleeve using a flat head screw driver.
4. Remove the accessories, corrugated accessory tray and the top foam cap.
