2 Prepare for Installation
This section contains warnings, information about tools and parts, site preparation information, and information for
workbench or tabletop installation and rack-mount installation.
Warning This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any
equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for
preventing accidents. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the translated safety
warnings that accompanied this device.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should install, replace, or service this equipment.
Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be
gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is
controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Warning Voltage is present on the backplane when the system is operating. To reduce risk of an electric shock, keep hands
and fingers out of the power supply bays and backplane areas.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Before beginning the installation of the SCE 2000, read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco
Service Control Engine document.
Site Preparation and Unpacking
•Lift the SCE 2000 platform safely out of the packing container.
•Ensure the power service at the site is suitable for the SCE 2000 platform.
•Check the packing slip to ensure that all the proper components are present.

5
•Locate and have accessible the Site Log for recording information about this installation.
Tools and Parts
Use the following list of tools and parts as a checklist for preparing for installing the SCE 2000 platform:
•Appropriate cables to connect the SCE 2000 to the network and console terminal
•Tape measure (optional)
•Level (optional)
•Number 1 Phillips screwdriver
•Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
•1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver
•1/4-inch hex wrench
•Grounding kit (shipped with SCE 2000)
•12 AWG or 2.5 mm copper installation wire with hex or loop connectors for DC power leads (DC power only)
Ring terminals must be UL approved and suitable for 12 AWG wire.
•AC power cords (AC power only, shipped with SCE 2000)
•Rack-mounting kit (shipped with SCE 2000)
•Spare screws for changing bracket position
Prepare for Rack-Mount Installation
Before you begin the rack-mounting tasks, determine the type of rack—four-post or two-post—that you will be using.
Workbench or Tabletop Installation
Figure 1: Installing the System on a Flat Surface
For a workbench or tabletop installation, verify the following before installing the SCE 2000 platform:
•The SCE 2000 platform is off the floor and has adequate ventilation.
•An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for the SCE 2000 platform.
•The SCE 2000 platform has at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance at each side and at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of
clearance at the rear to allow proper air flow.

Step 1 Remove the adhesive strips from the four rubber feet and affix the feet onto the four marked locations on the
bottom panel of the unit.
Step 2 Place the SCE 2000 platform on the tabletop or workbench.

3 Rack-Mount the SCE 2000
This section provides information for rack-mounting the SCE 2000 platform.
There are two standard types of equipment racks, and the appropriate brackets for each are provided in the enclosed kit.
•19” rack with front rack posts — the mounting kit includes two mounting brackets as illustrated below:
•19” rack with front and back rack posts — in addition to the mounting brackets illustrated below, the mounting kit
includes two crossrail supports that the unit slides onto.
The SCE 2000 mounts to the two front rack posts with brackets that attach to the front of the SCE 2000 The inside width
between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.3 inches (44 cm).
Note Remember to leave a two-inch (5 cm) clearance on both sides of the SCE 2000 and at the rear for adequate airflow for the
inlet and exhaust vents.
Attach the Brackets to the SCE 2000
Before installing the SCE 2000 in the rack, you must first install an appropriate rack-mount bracket on each side of the
front of the SCE 2000, as illustrated in the following figures.
Figure 2: Attaching the Mounting Brackets (4-post)

8
Figure 3: Attaching the Mounting Brackets (2-post)
To install the rack-mount brackets on the SCE 2000 chassis, complete the following steps:
Before installing the SCE 2000 in the rack, you must first install a rack-mount bracket on each side of the front of the
SCE 2000.
Step 1 Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the SCE 2000. Choose the proper bracket for your installation (2-
post rack or 4-post rack) as illustrated in Rack-Mount the SCE 2000 (on page 7).
Step 2 Insert and tighten three screws.
Step 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other side of the SCE 2000.
If mounting the SCE 2000 in a rack with only two posts, skip to Mounting the System to a Rack.
If mounting the SCE 2000 in a rack with four posts, proceed to the next step to attach the crossrail supports to the rack.
Installing the Crossrail Supports (Four-post rack only)
This section provides information for assembling the crossrail supports and attaching them to the rack.
When mounting in a rack with four posts (front and back) the two crossrail supports are mounted one on each side of the
rack. The SCE 2000 then slides into these crossrails, which support the weight of the unit.
Assemble the Crossrail Supports
Figure 4: Assembling the Slider Brackets
Assemble the two crossrail supports. Use three screws for each crossrail assembly.
Make sure that they are oriented so that both crossrails will support the SCE 2000 when they are attached to the rack.

Attach the Crossrail Supportsto the Rack
Figure 5: Attaching the Crossrails to the Rack
Step 1 Align the crossrail supports with the side of the rack, parallel to the floor.
Step 2 Insert and tighten two screws to the front posts or mounting strips of the rack
Step 3 Insert and tighten two screws to the Back posts of the rack.
Step 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side of the rack, keeping the brackets flush against the posts and parallel to the
supporting bracket on first side of the rack.
Mount the System to the Rack
When the appropriate mounting brackets are securely installed, the SCE 2000 can be installed into the rack.
Figure 6: Sliding the SCE Platform into the Rack
Step 1 Make sure that the rack brakes are locked or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.
Step 2 Position the SCE 2000 so that the front end is closest to you, and lift it carefully to place it into the rack. To
prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.

10
Step 3 Slide the SCE 2000 into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets (installed at the front of the SCE 2000) meet
the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.
A rack with both front and back posts will have the crossrail supports installed. Slide the SCE 2000 onto these crossrails
and push it all the way back.
Step 4 While keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the
holes on the rack or mounting strip.
Figure 7: Securing the SCE Platform to the Rack
Step 5 For each bracket, insert and tighten two appropriate screws to the rack.
Note Since the brackets support the weight of the entire SCE 2000 chassis, be sure to use all four screws to fasten the two rack-
mount brackets to the rack posts.
