Install Cisco NCS 1004 Modules
This chapter contains procedures to install the modules of Cisco NCS 1004.
All the modular slots in the NCS 1004 chassis should always be populated with respective modules (line-cards,
controller, PSU & fan units). Empty line card slots to be populated with filler modules, which are shipped
with the chassis. The replacement or upgrade of the modules (Online Insertion or Removal, OIR) to be
performed only when the ambient temperature is below 30-degree C. The OIR of modules should be completed
within five minutes to prevent overheating of the components.

Install Line Card
This task has details about installing a line card in to the NCS 1004 chassis. The chassis is shipped with filler
cards and/or line cards. The Cisco NCS 1004 chassis supports a maximum of four line cards.
Before you begin
It is mandatory to attach the fiber management brackets to the filler cards and line cards before installing the
chassis onto a rack. For a detailed procedure, see the Attach Fiber Management Bracket section.
The following procedure is not required if the chassis is shipped with preinstalled line cards.
Note
Step 1 Unscrew the Torx screws of the filler card using a T15 Torx screwdriver.
Step 2 Holding the fiber management bracket of the filler card with one hand and supporting it with the other, remove the filler
card from the chassis.
Step 3 Attach the fiber management bracket to the line card that needs to be installed. Follow the procedure as mentioned at the
beginning of the section.
Step 4 Orient the line card. Check for the This Side Up label.
Step 5 Use both the hands while inserting a line card. Use one hand to hold the line card using the fiber management bracket
and the other hand along the base of the card to guide it into the slot.

Support the line card with your hand at the bottom, while installing (or removing) a line card.1
Use the fiber management bracket for holding the line card.2
Use the fiber management brackets only for pulling out while removing or pushing in the card while installing
line cards or filler cards. Do not use the fiber management brackets to carry the cards. Always support the line
card (or filler card) at the bottom with your hand.
Caution
Step 6 Slide the line card completely inside, into the card guide.
Step 7 Using the Torx screwdriver, tighten the two M3, T15 Torx screws of the line card, to a torque value of 0.65 N-m.
Install Power Supply
This task has information about installing the PSUs into the NCS 1004 chassis.
Step 1 Orient the PSU correctly before inserting. Check for the This Side Up label.
Step 2 Using the handle, slide the PSU into the slot (support the PSU at the bottom with your hand) and push it in until you hear
aclick sound; direction of insertion is shown in the following figure. The click sound indicates that the unit has been
latched (the locking latch needs to pressed and released only for removing the PSU).

Step 5 Affix the power lug on the unit with two screws. Tighten the screws using a torque of 2.7 Nm +/- 0.3 Nm.
A torque level greater than 3.0 Nm may damage the unit.
Caution
Use #6AWG cables. Ensure a minimum gap of 50 mm below the chassis, for routing the cables. For ETSI racks, 180-degree
power lugs are used to maintain 600 mm footprint.

and ground faults. Ensure that the protective devices comply with local and national electrical codes.
Caution
Figure 7: Rating Label for AC Power
The voltage rating value for AC power ranges either between 200 V to 240 V or between 100 V to 127 V
depending on the standards in various countries.
A dual pole breaker is needed for the installation. The rating of the dual pole breaker for each feed is 16A for
input voltage 200 Vac to 240 Vac, and 20A for input voltage 100 Vac to 127 Vac.
Note
Step 1 Verify that the AC cable is installed in the correct AC source panel. Ensure that either the fuse is removed or the circuit
breaker is in the off position and locked out.
Step 2 Attach the AC power cable to the cable connector in the AC power module.
Ensure that there is a minimum gap of 50 mm for routing the cables. Use a 90-degree exit cable to maintain a
footprint of 600 mm for ETSI racks.
Note
Step 3 Close the cable retention clips to secure the power cables and to prevent their accidental removal.
