Cisco NCS 2002 Instruction Manual

Installing the Air Flow Regulator
This chapter explains how to install the regulators to maintain the air flow for ANSI and ETSI configurations
in NCS 2002 shelf.
The air flow within the equipment must be maintained at a nominal temperature. This task can be accomplished
using one of these mechanisms:
• Air deflector
• Air plenum
The sections are:
•Air Deflector, on page 1
•Air Plenum, on page 1
•Air Plenum Rack and Cabinet Compatibility, on page 3
•NTP-L42 Install the Air Plenum in NCS 2002 Shelf, on page 4
Air Deflector
An air deflector is a sheet-metal part that is mounted on the NCS 2002 shelf to orient the air flow in a specific
direction.
The air deflectors can be mounted in different positions to control the air flow:
• Front to Front— Only ETSI rack
• Front to Back— For ANSI and ETSI racks
• Front to Top— Only ETSI rack
In an ANSI rack, the air deflectors are mounted only on the 23-inch rack configuration.
Air Plenum
Air plenum orients the air flow in the front-to-back direction inside the equipment to be compliant with GR-63
issue 4 requirement.
NCS 2002 air plenum kit has one horizontal and two vertical air plenums. The air that flows from the front
top inlet are channelized to the right vertical plenum, inside the equipment, and then to the exhaust air channel
towards the left vertical air plenum. The air flow is deflected by 90 degrees and exited out in the rear end.
The following figure shows the air flow inside the air plenum.

Air Plenum Rack and Cabinet Compatibility
The table shows the compatibility of air plenum with the ANSI and ETSI racks and cabinets. The chassis can
be installed with brackets in front position only.

The ANSI 19-inch two post rack that is compatible with air plenum installation is available from Telect, with
part number 12545-301.

This procedure installs the air plenum to orient the air flow in front-to- back direction
in the NCS 2002 shelf.
Purpose
• #2 Phillips Dynamometric screwdriver
• Medium slot-head screwdriver
• Small slot-head screwdriver
• Screws
• ANSI: #12-24 x 0.50 pan-head Phillips screws

This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during
normal use. Statement 39
Warning
For nominal voltage of -60 VDC, the input voltage range is from -40 to -72 VDC.
Note
Use only the fastening hardware provided with the NCS 2002 to prevent loosening, deterioration, and
electromechanical corrosion of the hardware and joined material.
Note
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last. Statement 1046
Warning
The air plenum is installed on a rack or a cabinet using thread-forming screws that remove any paint
or non-conductive coatings inside the hole threads, and establish a metal-to-metal contact. Also, clean
both surfaces outside the screw points that come in contact, so that they are free of paint and other
nonconductive coating. Apply an appropriate antioxidant compound to the surfaces.
