Statement 1017


Rack-Mounting Configuration Guidelines

Each Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance has a set of rack handles (installed at the factory). These handles will have to be used later when you install the appliance in a 4-post rack. You can front (flush) mount or mid-mount the appliance in a 19-inch (48.3-cm) equipment rack that conforms to the 2- and 4-post rack specification (the inside width of the rack should be 17.5 inches [44.45 cm]). Mount the appliance to the brackets as described in the "Attaching the Rack-Mounting Brackets to the Appliance" section. When installed in the rack, the appliance requires one EIA 1.75-inch (4.4-cm) vertical mounting space or 1 rack unit (RU) for mounting. (See the "Mounting the Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series Appliance in a 2-Post Rack" section.)


Caution Clearance in the front and rear of the Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance must be allowed for cooling air to be drawn in through the front and circulated through the appliance and out the rear of the appliance.

The "Rack Installation Safety Guidelines" section on page 2-6 and the following information will help you plan your equipment rack configuration:

When mounting the appliance to an equipment rack, ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor.

Because you will probably be installing more than one appliance into the rack, ensure that the weight of all the appliances installed does not make the rack unstable.


Caution Some equipment racks are also secured to ceiling brackets, if necessary, due to the weight of the equipment in the rack. Make sure that the rack you are using to install the appliances is secured to the building structure.

As mentioned in the "Airflow Guidelines" section on page 2-9, maintain a 6-inch (15.2-cm) clearance at the front and rear of the appliance to ensure adequate air intake and exhaust.

Avoid installing the appliances in an overly congested rack. Air flowing to or from other appliances in the rack might interfere with the normal flow of cooling air through the appliances, increasing the potential for overtemperature conditions within the appliances. (See the "Overtemperature Protection (OTP)" section on page 1-11 for more information about overtemperature conditions.)

Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the rack for appliance maintenance.


Caution To prevent appliance overheating, never install the appliance in an enclosed rack or room that is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.

Follow your local practices for cable management. Ensure that cables to and from the appliances do not impede access to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.

Mounting the Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series Appliance in a 2-Post Rack


Warning When the appliance is installed in a rack and is fully extended on its slide rail, it is possible for the rack to become unstable and tip over, which could cause serious injury. To eliminate the risk of rack instability from extending the rail or in the event of an earthquake, you should affix the rack to the floor.


Typically, the Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance mounts to a 19-inch (48.3-cm) 2-post equipment rack with rack-mounting brackets that attach to the front sides of the appliance. The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.5 inches (44.45 cm). See the "Product Overview" section on page 1-2 for information about the equipment rack.

Even though the intake and exhaust for cooling air are located on the front and on the rear of the appliance, respectively, it is recommended that multiple appliances be stacked in a rack with at least a 1.5-inch (3.81-cm) vertical clearance.

To secure the appliance to the equipment rack, you must use the four mounting screws (provided) for each side or follow your local practices for installing the appliance into your equipment rack. Ensure that the rack-mount brackets have been securely fastened. See the "Attaching the Rack-Mounting Brackets to the Appliance" section for more information.

The following procedure provides a general outline for mounting the appliance into the equipment rack.


Caution To prevent injury, review the "Safety Guidelines" section on page 2-2 and the "Rack-Mounting Configuration Guidelines" section before installing the appliance in the equipment rack.


Step 1 Locate the equipment rack position you plan to install the appliance into.

Step 2 Verify that there are no obstructions and ensure that the equipment rack is stabilized.

Step 3 Position the appliance in the equipment rack, lining up the bracket holes on the appliance with the holes on the rack, and secure it with four 10-32 x 1/2-inch rack screws (each side). You need two people to install the appliance in the rack—one person to hold the appliance and one person to secure it to the rack.


Note The vertical spacing for the equipment rack is at least 1.75 inches (4.44 cm), with mounting holes spaced 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) apart.


Step 4 Tighten the screws using a Number 2 Phillips screwdriver (each side).

Front-Mounting in a 2-Post Rack


Warning The rack mount kit for the Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance provides the option for mounting the system in a two post front-mount-only configuration. However, this option is not recommended for use in most rack systems. If you wish to use a front-mount-only configuration, it is strongly recommended that you verify with your rack vendor that your specific rack is designed to support the excessive weight and stresses that this mounting configuration imposes on the rack. If the rack is not designed for this type of load, you may experience structural failure of the rack. Rather, you should use a 2-post mid-mount or 4-post configuration, when possible.

Depending on the type of holes that your rack has, you will use different hardware to attach the appliance to the rack:

For racks with square holes, you use the multi-pin adapters to attach the appliance to the rack. The installation kit includes four fastener screws (see Table 3-2) that secure the multi-pin adapters after you install them in the rack.

For racks with round holes, you use rack screws, rather than the multi-pin adapters. Rack screws are not included in the installation kit.


Note Each rail consists of three pieces that slide to extend the rail to its full length. To access the features of the innermost piece, such as the release levers (see Figure 3-16), you must grasp the end of the innermost piece and pull it firmly out of the piece that contains it.


Proceed to the next section, "Installing the Slide Rails into a Rack with Square Holes," to continue the installation.

Installing the Slide Rails into a Rack with Square Holes

This section contains the following topics:

Setting the Multi-Pin Adapters for the Rack Type

Installing and Securing the Slide Rails in a Rack

Setting the Multi-Pin Adapters for the Rack Type

The multi-pin adapters allow the slide rails to be used in racks that have square mounting holes or round mounting holes.

To set the adapters for the rack type:


Step 1 On each slide rail, reverse the multi-pin adapter position to match the rack-mounting hole type if necessary. Remove the multi-pin adapter by rotating the swivel lock up, pressing the mounting pins together, and then pulling the adapter from the multi-pin bracket.

Step 2 Install the multi-pin adapter by pressing the pins together while inserting the adapter into the bracket. The multi-pin adapter must be fully locked in the bracket. Make certain both mounting pins on the multi-pin adapter are fully engaged in the multi-pin bracket, then lock the multi-pin adapter in place using the swivel lock.

Step 3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for both ends of each slide rail.

Step 4 To lock the adapters in place:

a. Rotate the swivel lock to the "up" position (see the left-hand illustration in Figure 3-16). Press the pins together and insert the rack-mating end of the multi-pin adapter through the corresponding holes in the bracket. (Insert the adapter into the bracket with the slotted pin in the "up" position as shown.)

Figure 3-16 Locking the Adapter into Place

b. When the multi-pin adapter is fully seated in the bracket, close the swivel lock. (See the right-hand illustration in Figure 3-16.)

c. If you have the adapter seated properly, you should be able to easily rotate the swivel lock to the fully locked (closed) position.


Proceed to the next section, "Installing and Securing the Slide Rails in a Rack," to continue the installation.

Installing and Securing the Slide Rails in a Rack


Caution If you mount the slide rail in holes that are not vertically aligned from front to back, you could damage the slide rail and your mounting may not be secure.

To install the slide rails into the rack:


Step 1 At all four rack uprights, determine the vertical position in the rack where the slide rails are to be installed. The top-most mounting hole for a particular rack unit (RU) mounting position is typically identified by a mark or hole. (See Figure 3-17.)

Figure 3-17 Mounting Position Marks on a Rack

Step 2 Noting the holes that you determined in Step 1, align the left slide rail with its mounting holes.

Step 3 Hold the slide rail in the desired rack-mounting position. At the rear of the slide rail, press the multi-pin adapter mounting pins together (see location 1 in Figure 3-18) and insert the slide rail into the rack post (see location 2 in Figure 3-18).

Figure 3-18 Inserting the Adapter Pins into the Mounting Holes

The following table describes some of the correct and incorrect ways to insert the adapter pins into the rack. (See Figure 3-19.)

1

Correct

The multi-pin adapter pins are fully engaged in the rack holes. Also, the rack hole into which the top pin was inserted aligns with one of the round RU holes.

2

Incorrect

Note that the multi-pin adapter pins are not fully engaged in the rack holes.

3

Incorrect

The rack hole into which the top pin was inserted does not align with one of the RU holes.


Figure 3-19 Correct and Incorrect Adapter Pin Insertion

Step 4 Making certain the proper mounting holes on the rack upright are selected, repeat Step 2 at the slide rail front-mounting position. Ensure the slide rail is level.

Step 5 Fully extend the slide rail to its fully extended (locked) position. Press the slide extension release levers to release the lock. Move the slide rail in and out throughout its entire range of motion and make certain it does not bind.

If you notice some binding, recheck the mounting positions.

Step 6 Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the right slide rail, ensuring that it is parallel and level with the left slide rail.


Proceed to the "Installing the Slide Rails into a Rack with Round Holes," to continue the installation.

Installing the Slide Rails into a Rack with Round Holes

Installing the slide rails into a rack with round holes requires rack screws (not included in the rack-mount installation kit). Before you begin the installation, obtain the appropriate rack screws.


Caution If you mount the slide rail in holes that are not vertically aligned from front to back, you could damage the slide rail and your mounting may not be secure.


Note When you install the rail hardware into a rack with round holes, you must position the rails so that they are inside the rack with the brackets facing outward. This placement decreases the amount of space between the posts into which you will slide the appliance. Ensure that you have adequate space for the appliance to slide into the rack.

The required clearance is approximately 17.4 inches (44.2 cm).


Installing the slide rails on a round-hole rack does not require the multi-pin adapters. If the multi-pin adapters are already installed in the slide rails, remove them by rotating the swivel lock up, pressing the mounting pins together, and then pulling the adapter from the multi-pin bracket. (See Figure 3-16.)

To install the slide rails into the rack:


Step 1 At all four rack uprights, determine the vertical position in the rack where the slide rails are to be installed. The top-most mounting hole for a particular rack unit (RU) mounting position is typically identified by a mark or hole.

Step 2 Noting the holes that you determined in Step 1, align the left slide rail with its mounting holes.

Step 3 Hold the slide rail in the desired rack-mounting position, with the rail on the inside of the rack and the brackets facing outward. At the rear of the slide rail, press the rear bracket against the rear post of the rack and secure the bracket to the rack with rack screws.

Step 4 Making certain that you selected the proper mounting holes on the front rail post (that the rail is level), place the front bracket against the front post and secure the bracket to the rack with rack screws.

Step 5 Fully extend the slide rail to its fully extended (locked) position. Press the slide extension release levers to release the lock. Move the slide rail in and out throughout its entire range of motion and make certain it does not bind.

If you notice some binding, recheck the mounting positions.

Step 6 Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the right slide rail, ensuring that it is parallel and level with the left slide rail.


Proceed to the next section, "Installing the Appliance into the Slide Rails," to continue the installation.

Installing the Appliance into the Slide Rails

To install the Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance into the slide rails:


Step 1 Extend both slide rails into the fully extended (locked) position.

Step 2 Align the mounting studs with the mounting channels on the slide rails. (See Figure 3-20.)

Figure 3-20 Aligning the Slide Rail with the Mounting Studs

Step 3 Carefully place the component's mounting studs in the mounting channels on the slide rails. Allow the component mounting studs to fully seat in the mounting channels.

The component release levers (one on each slide rail) pivot to lock when the studs are fully engaged in the mounting channels and then to release the studs when you press the release. Ensure that the component release levers are in the locked position.

Step 4 Press and hold the left and right slide extension release levers and slowly slide the component and the slide rails into the fully retracted position.

Connecting the Network Interface


Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001


This section describes how to connect the Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance network interface connector (NIC) port.

The RJ-45 port supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. Cisco does not supply Category 5 UTP cables; these cables are available commercially.

To connect the cable to the appliance network interface connector (NIC) port:


Step 1 Confirm that the appliance is turned off.

Step 2 Connect one end of the cable to the NIC port on the appliance. For cable pinouts, see the "Ethernet Port Connector" section on page 1-9.

Step 3 Connect the other end to a hub or switch in your network.


Connecting the Console


Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001


Your Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance has a DCE-mode console port for connecting a console terminal to your appliance.

The appliance uses a DB-9 serial connector for the console port. (See the "Serial (Console) Port" section on page 1-9 for more information.)

To connect a terminal or a PC running terminal-emulation software to the console port on the Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance:


Step 1 Connect the terminal using a null-modem cable to the console port. For cable pinouts, see the "Serial (Console) Port Connector" section on page 1-10.

Step 2 Configure your terminal or terminal-emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no hardware flow control.


Cable Management

Cable management is the most visual aspect of your appliance setup. However, cable management is often overlooked because it can be time consuming.

Equipment racks and enclosures house more equipment today than ever before. This growth has increased the need for organized cable management both inside and outside the rack. Poor cable management not only leads to damaged cables or increased time for adding or changing out cables, but also blocks critical airflow or access. These problems can lead to inefficiencies in the performance of your equipment or even downtime.

There are many solutions to address cable management. They can range from simple cable management rings, to vertical or horizontal organizers, to troughs and ladders.

All Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance cables should be properly dressed so as not to interfere with each other or other pieces of equipment. Use local practices to ensure that the cables attached to your appliance are properly dressed.

Removing or Replacing the Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series Appliance


Warning Before working on a system that has an On/Off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord. Statement 1



Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040


To remove a Cisco ADE 1010 and 2120 Series appliance from your network, power it down, disconnect the power cords and network cables, and physically remove the appliance from the rack.

The appliance is in constant communication on your network; thus, when the network notices that the appliance is no longer responding to it, the network stops sending requests to the appliance. This change is transparent to users. If other appliances are attached to the network, the network continues sending requests to the other appliances.

To replace an appliance, remove it from the network. Then, install a new appliance and configure it using the same configuration parameters that you used for the removed appliance.
