The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis contains two slots for route processor (RP) cards, sixteen slots for line cards (LC), and four slots for fabric cards (FC). The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis is rack mountable. It is compatible with the following standard rail spacing: •...
The floor plan for the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis must include enough space to install the chassis in the equipment rack and allow sufficient airflow for the system. The floor plan must also provide enough room to access chassis components for maintenance (for example, to remove fan trays, power modules, cables, and air filters).
The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. Guidelines do not include all hazards. Be alert. Review the safety warnings listed in Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco NCS Note Network Convergence System 4000 Series before installing, configuring, or troubleshooting any installed card.
• 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.
To unpack the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis, follow these steps: SUMMARY STEPS 1. Carefully move the pallet containing the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis to the staging area where you plan on unpacking it. 2. Cut the plastic bands holding the chassis shipping box in place.
