Installing the Hardware
This chapter describes how to install the SmartEdge
®
100 router hardware, including the SmartEdge 100
chassis and its Fast Ethernet (FE) and Gigabit Ethernet (GE) media interface cards (MICs), how to mount
the chassis, connect the power cables, complete the installation, and connect and route the cables. The
sequence of tasks to install the hardware is:
1. Getting Started
2. Mounting the Chassis
3. Connecting the Power Cables
4. Completing the Installation
5. Connecting and Routing the Cables
When you have finished installing the hardware, you are ready to check the operational status. Checking
the operational status is described in Chapter 5, “Determining Operating Status.”
Getting Started
Before you perform the tasks described in this chapter, ensure that you have:
1. Selected the installation site for the chassis; see the “Planning the Site and Installation” section in
Chapter 3, “Preparing for Installation.” Review the site and installation considerations that are listed
later in this section.
2. Unpacked and inventoried the SmartEdge 100 chassis and associated hardware and documentation; see
the SmartEdge 100 System Unpacking Instructions publication.
3. Selected the type of access for commissioning and normal operations; see the “Selecting the Type of
Management Access” section in Chapter 3, “Preparing for Installation.”
4. Gathered all cables and tools needed for the installation; see Table 4-1.
Note The term, GE, applies to any GE native port or MIC that supports a port speed of 1 Gbps or greater;
unless explicitly stated, the speed of any GE port is 1 Gbps.
