•Dolly Specifications, page 5
Chassis Packaging
Depending on the number of options that you ordered, the Cisco NCS 6000 Series chassis arrives packaged
in several shipping crates and pallets. The chassis is shipped on a pallet by itself and arrives inside a
polyethylene bag enclosed in a plywood box, held in place by steel clips. Other system components are shipped
in separate crates and can arrive at the final chassis site at different times.
For complete details on the contents of your shipment, see the inventory and parts identification label on the
crate. The total number of pallets depend on the details of the options that you ordered, with each package
containing a label that describes the contents.
The following list is only a sample of what a Cisco NCS 6000 shipment contains. For complete details
on the contents of each pallet, see the shipping and parts identification label on the pallet or the shipping
manifest.
Note
•Dolly pallet: Contains two dolly units in the 90-degree position (Figure 3: Removing the Chassis Dolly
Shipping Container).
•Chassis pallet: Contains the chassis itself encased in a polyethylene bag and covered with a wooden
packing crate held together with metal brackets. The chassis is the first shipping box to be unpacked
and transported to its final installation location.

The drill hole template (Cisco product ID NC6-DRILLTEMP) is attached to the inside of the shipping
crate door. The drill hole template is the same for both the LCC and FCC.
•Power components pallet: Contains the power components, including the Power Modules (PMs). For
the FCC, a separate box ships that contains a power supply enclosure that includes the power trays and
the PCMs.
•Primary card pallet: Contains the fabric cards, line cards, and route processor cards. The FCC pallet
contains only fabric cards.
•Cosmetics pallet: Contains the default cosmetic components for the exterior of the chassis. This pallet
will also contain any optional cosmetic components for the exterior of the chassis, if ordered.

Safety Guidelines
Before you perform any procedure in this document, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid
injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
Caution
The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. Guidelines do not include all hazards.
Be alert.
Before installing, configuring, or troubleshooting any installed card, review the safety warnings listed in
the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Network Convergence System 6000
Series Routers.
Note
Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself.
•Keep the work area clear and dust free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris to enter
into any laser-based components.
•Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.
•Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, and other items that could get caught in the chassis while working
with the chassis and its associated components.
•Use Cisco equipment in accordance with its specifications and product-usage instructions.
•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly
handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. We recommend use of an ESD-preventive strap whenever
you handle network equipment or one of its components.
Follow these guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Connect
the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD jack or bare metal surface on the chassis.
•Handle a card by its ejector levers, when applicable, or its metal carrier only; avoid touching the board
or connector pins.
•Place a removed card board side up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If you plan to
return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
•Avoid contact between the card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from only ESD voltage
on the body: ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage.
When unpacking and setting parts aside, it is important to set them either in their original antistatic
packaging or on an antistatic mat to avoid ESD damage.

Overview
Safety Guidelines

Site Preparation
Before moving the chassis into place and securing it, you must make sure that your site is prepared. Verify
that the securing location provides the recommended space and ensure that you have enough space available
for installation and maintenance of the chassis and its components.
For additional details on making your site ready for the chassis, see the Cisco Network Convergence System
6000 Series Routers Site Planning Guide .
System Installation Templates
Because of its size and weight, the chassis must be securely bolted to the floor. Cisco provides a drill hole
template (Figure 1: Drill Hole Template for the Cisco NCS 6000 Series Chassis ) that ships attached to the
inside of the crate door. This template identifies the chassis footprint and the pattern of holes that must be
drilled into the floor for the mounting hardware that secures the chassis to the floor. This drill template is used
for both the LCC and FCC.
For more information about floor plans, clearance information, and planning for future space needs, see the
Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers Site Planning Guide.

Dolly Specifications
The optional dolly that is available for the Cisco NCS 6000 Series chassis is flexible enough to meet several
challenges common when first positioning a chassis of this size and weight. Such challenges include limited
hallway or doorway width, doorway thresholds, ramps, and tight corners along the transport route. To overcome
these challenges, use the dolly in either of the following configurations:
•The 90-degree configuration —The dolly assemblies are shipped in this configuration. In some cases,
this configuration is needed to transport the chassis. Use the 90-degree configuration (Figure 5: Chassis
Dolly—90-Degree Configuration ) to move the chassis off the pallet. Take extra care when using this
configuration so that the chassis does not tip too far and fall during transport.
•This 180-degree configuration —This configuration is a more stable configuration for transporting the
chassis. We recommend using the 180-degree configuration (Figure 6: Chassis Dolly—180-Degree
Configuration ) for moving the chassis, although both configurations are acceptable to transport the
as-shipped chassis.
The optional Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers lift dolly is available from Cisco (PID NCS-LIFT). If you
already have a CRS lift dolly, you can order PID NCS-LIFT-BRKT, which is the CRS lift upgrade to the
NCS lift dolly.
Note
The following table lists the specifications for the Cisco NCS 6000 Series chassis lift dolly.

Unpacking the Dolly
We recommend that you use a dolly to move the chassis. The dolly is an optional item that you can order
from Cisco. The shipping crate contains the dolly units, positioned in the 90-degree configuration (Figure 3:
Removing the Chassis Dolly Shipping Container). This section describes how to unpack and position the
dolly units.

Overview
Dolly Specifications

If the dolly supplied by Cisco is not the appropriate method of transportation, contact Cisco support to
determine a method of transportation appropriate for your site. Ensure that the alternate moving device is
capable of supporting the weight of the chassis, moving the chassis safely, and preventing the chassis
from tipping too far and falling during transport.
Note
Required Tools and Equipment
•3/8-inch ratchet wrench
•5/8-inch socket
•Flat-blade screwdriver
Steps
Step 1 Carefully move the pallet containing the dolly to the location where you plan to unpack it. The dolly arrives as two
separate, identical units, one unit each for the front and back of the chassis.
Step 2 Use the flat-blade screwdriver to remove the clip from the dolly shipping crate.

Modifying the Dolly Configuration
The dolly can be positioned in either the 180-degree or 90-degree configuration, depending on the needs of
your site. See the Guidelines , on page 31 for important recommendations before modifying the dolly
configuration.
When changing the configuration of the dolly wheel assemblies (from 180 to 90 degrees or conversely), follow
these guidelines:
•Lower the chassis to the floor before you change configurations.
•Keep the casters on the floor at all times when you are changing the dolly configuration from one position
to the other.
•Unlock the brake or anti-rotation on the casters only when you are ready to actually change the
configuration (move the lift swing arm bracket). When you are preparing to change the configuration
(remove bolts), make sure that the brakes and anti-rotation pin are in the locked position.
•Change the dolly configuration one caster at a time. Take your time and do not rush through the process.
•Make sure that the bolts are secured after you have completed changing the configuration.

Overview
Modifying the Dolly Configuration

Steps
To change the dolly configuration from the as-shipped 90-degree configuration to the 180-degree transport
configuration, perform the following steps.
Step 1 Set the caster wheel rotation using the caster anti-rotation pin. Turn the anti-rotation pin to a vertical position to lock the
caster (Figure 5: Chassis Dolly—90-Degree Configuration , callout 2).
Step 2 To lock the brakes depress the brakes on each side of the dolly.
Step 3 Using the handles (Figure 5: Chassis Dolly—90-Degree Configuration , callout 9), turn the dolly lifting cranks to raise
or lower the dolly according to the label rotation direction. Turn the lifting cranks until the dolly casters are just off the
floor.
Step 4 Unlock the dolly caster brakes and anti-rotation pins on both units.
Step 5 On the dolly unit attached to the front side of the chassis, use the 3/8-inch ratchet wrench with 12-mm hex bit to remove
the two holding bolts on the left side lift arm swing bracket to convert to the 180-degree configuration.
Figure 7: Chassis Dolly — Removing Holding Bolts and Swinging Arm Out to 180 Degrees
Step 6 Swing the lift arm swing bracket to the side (180-degree position as shown in the above figure). Reinsert the holding
bolts and partially tighten the bolts.
Step 7 Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for the other dolly unit. Figure 6: Chassis Dolly—180-Degree Configuration shows the
dolly in a 180-degree configuration.
Step 8 Lock the dolly caster brakes and anti-rotation pins until you are ready to move the chassis.
Step 9 Using the 3/8-inch ratchet wrench with 12-mm hex bit, firmly tighten the holding bolts on both dolly units.
