•Cisco 8200 Series Routers, on page 1
Cisco 8200 Series Routers
The Cisco 8200 Series Routers utilizes Cisco’s new Router-on-Chip (RoC) model to deliver full routing
functionality with a single ASIC per router. The RoC architecture is distinguished from System-on-Chip (SoC)
switches by supporting large forwarding tables, deep buffers, more flexible packet operations, and enhanced
programmability.
The Cisco 8200 series routers presently comprises:
• Cisco 8201 Router – It provides 10.8 Tbps of network bandwidth with dramatically lower power
consumption than contemporary 10 Tbps systems. The Cisco 8201 Router is a fixed port, high density,
one rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 24x 400G QSFP56-DD and 12x 100G QSFP28.
For more details on ports and supported breakout options, see "Interfaces and Port Description, on page
26".

• Keep the work area clear, smoke and dust-free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris
to enter into any laser-based components.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that could get caught in the router or other associated
components.
• Cisco equipment operates safely when used in accordance with its specifications and product-usage
instructions.
• If potentially hazardous conditions exist, do not work alone.
• Take care when connecting multiple units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not overloaded.
• This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority
or an electrician if you are uncertain about whether suitable grounding is available.
• When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the
handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to
support the weight of the unit.
• Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when
servicing.
Compliance and Safety Information
The Cisco 8000 Series Routers are designed to meet the regulatory compliance and safety approval requirements.

Compliance and Safety Information

Statement 1086—Power Terminals
Hazardous voltage or energy may be present on power terminals. Always replace cover when terminals are
not in service. Be sure uninsulated conductors are not accessible when cover is in place.
Warning
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Many router components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures. To minimize the potential for
ESD damage, always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and ensure that it makes
adequate skin contact.
Check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive strap periodically. The measurement should be 1–10
megohms.
Note
Before you perform any of the procedures in this guide, attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and
connect the leash to the chassis.
Cautions and Regulatory Compliance Statements for NEBS
The NEBS-GR-1089-CORE regulatory compliance statements and requirements are discussed in this section.
The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intrabuilding cabling/wiring that
is grounded at both ends. Statement 7003
Warning
The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces
that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only
(Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling.
The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically
to OSP wiring. Statement 7005

Before you move the chassis or mount the chassis into the rack, we recommend that you do the following:
Step 1 Place the rack at the location where you plan to install the chassis.
Step 2 Secure the rack to the floor.
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 (such as Hilti; see Hilti.com for details).
Make sure that floor mounting bolts are accessible, especially if annual retorquing of bolts is required.
Ensure that the rack in which the chassis is being installed is grounded to earth ground.
Note
Clearance Requirements
The chassis requires front-to-back airflow. Leave at least 6.0 in. (15.24 cm) front and rear clearance for air
intake or exhaust. We recommend that you have at least 6.0 in. (15.24 cm) of space in front of the chassis to
provide room to manoeuvre the cables to make the required connections. Leave an extra 6.0 in. (15.24 cm)
rear clearance for removal and installation of power supplies and fan modules.

Step 1 Install the rack-mount brackets to the router as follows:
a) Determine which end of the chassis is to be located in the cold aisle as follows:
• If the router has port-side intake modules (fan modules and power modules with burgundy coloring), position
the router so that the ports are in the cold aisle.
• If the router has port-side exhaust modules (fan modules and power modules with blue coloring), position the
router so that the fan and power supply modules are in the cold aisle.
b) Position a rack-mount bracket on the side of the chassis with its four holes that are aligned to four of the screw holes
on the side of the chassis, and then use four M4 flat-head screws with 23 in-lbs (2.6 N-m) torque value to attach the
bracket to the chassis.
(Only 8201) Remove the grounding cover label and align the grounding cover plate with the grounding
holes in the chassis and attach the rack mount brackets.
Note
You can align four holes in the rack-mount bracket to four screw holes on the front side of chassis or four
screw holes on the rear side of the chassis. The holes that you use depend on which end of your chassis is
located in the cold aisle.
