The NCS 2002 system contains backup flash memory that supports the database (DB) and image backup in
the single mode operation. The NCS 2002 shelf can be mounted on an ANSI or an ETSI rack using the
mounting brackets or air deflectors. The air deflectors orient the air flow in a specific direction. The NCS
2002 shelf can also be wall-mounted or desktop-mounted.
When installed in an equipment rack, the Cisco NCS 2002 shelf is typically connected to a fuse panel to
provide distributed power for the NCS 2002. The fuse panel is a third-party equipment and is not described
in this documentation. If you are unsure about the requirements or specifications for a fuse, consult the user
documentation for the related equipment.
Install and operate the NCS 2002 only in environments that do not expose wiring or cabling to the outside
plant.
Two types of front doors can be attached to the Cisco NCS 2002 shelf— the standard door and the deep-front
panel. The front door provides access to the shelf, and acts as a protective panel. The deep-front panel provides
additional space in front of the shelf to accommodate cables that do not fit inside the standard door. It also
provides more space for fiber bend radius and to manage the line card connections.The deep door does not
have a hinge and cannot be rotated like the standard door. .
You can mount the NCS 2002 on a 19-inch or 23-inch ANSI rack (482.6 or 584.2 mm), or on a 600 x 600-mm
(23.6 x 23.6-inch) or 600 x 300-mm (23.6 x 11.8-inch) ETSI standard equipment rack. The NCS 2002 shelf
can also be wall mounted or desktop mounted. The shelf weighs approximately 11.02 pounds (5 kg) with no
cards installed.
It is mandatory that the correct type of 19-inch ANSI rack is chosen to mount the NCS 2002 shelf. The
recommended shape of the rack post is shown in the figure below.
