Transporting a Cisco 12000 Series Router
Transporting a Cisco 12000 Series Router
The shipping package for Cisco 12000 series routers is engineered to reduce the
potential of product damage associated with routine material handling
experienced during shipment. To minimize potential damage to the product,
transport these products in their Cisco specified packaging. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the router or degradation of its performance. Also, do not
remove the router from its shipping container until you are ready to install it. The
router should always be transported or stored in an upright position. Keep the
router in the shipping container until you have determined where you will install
it.

Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website
The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online
documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco
products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website
requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract

highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the
information before placing a service call.
Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4
service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is
minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you
describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended
solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your
service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is
located at this URL:

Obtaining Technical Assistance
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the
Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your
production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned
immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations
running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: [phone] (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: [phone]
USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has
established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your
business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around
the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or
significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by
inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time
resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most
business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources
during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product
capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your
business operations.
