Document Organization

Document Organization
The organization of this publication follows a recommended linear installation sequence: starting
with Chapter 1, "Product Overview," and continuing through Chapter 3, "Installing the Router." You
will refer to Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting," only if you experience problems with the initial hardware
installation or startup. Use the maintenance information in Chapter 5, "Maintenance," whenever you
add, upgrade, or rearrange system components.
This publication also includes some information that you may not need at initial installation, but is
useful when upgrading or adding components to the system. Additional reference information is
included in the appendixes. Following is a brief description of each chapter:

xiv Cisco 7000 Hardware Installation and Maintenance
Chapter 1, "Product Overview," describes the physical properties of the router chassis,
components, and interface options. It also provides brief functional descriptions of the primary
system features.
Chapter 2, "Preparing for Installation," is a preparatory section that describes site requirements,
safety considerations, tools required, optional and required network connection equipment,
unpacking checklists, and procedures you should perform before actual installation. This chapter
contains descriptions and illustrations of all types of network interface cables, connectors, and
interface devices that you may need for your network connections, so you can use this chapter as
a reference.
Chapter 3, "Installing the Router," provides instructions for rack mounting the router, installing
power supplies, connecting the external network interface cables, and starting the system. After
your system successfully initializes, you will proceed to the related software documentation to
configure the interfaces. If the system fails to initialize successfully, you will proceed to
Chapter 4 to troubleshoot the problem.
Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting the Installation," provides troubleshooting guidelines for the initial
hardware installation and suggests steps to help you quickly isolate the source and resolve the
problem.
Chapter 5, "Maintenance," provides procedures for replacing the system components, for adding
new components, and for upgrading or modify the existing components.
Appendix A, "Cabling Specifications," lists pin signals for the network interface cables you will
need and provides cable assembly drawings for the serial port adapter cables.
Appendix B, "Reading LED Indicators," describes the various states and indications of the LEDs
on the chassis front panel, route processor (RP), switch processor (SP), and the various interface
processors. This information is of limited use at initial system startup because the interfaces are
not yet configured, and most of the LEDs are not functional (although they may light). This
information is provided for your reference, to be used after the interfaces have been configured
and brought on line.
Appendix C, "Industry Standard Wiring Plans," lists the telephone industry color-code scheme
for 25-pair wires including the pin numbers
