Rack-Mounting or Stacking of System Components
The Cisco ICS 7750 chassis dimensions are as follows:
•Height: 15.75 in. (9U)
•Width: 17.25 in.
•Depth: 12.5 in.
The chassis is designed to be rack-mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. For instructions on rack-mounting or stacking the Cisco ICS 7750 system components, refer to the "Installing the Cisco ICS 7750" chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 Hardware Installation Guide.
Preparing the Electrical Panel and Grounding the Chassis
Before installing the system, you should prepare the electrical system at the installation site and properly ground the system according to the instructions in the "Installing the Cisco ICS 7750" chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 Hardware Installation Guide.
Warning This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 14 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth ground during normal use.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled. ESD can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards:
•Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
•Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.
•Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.
•To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap must be used correctly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
Caution Before opening the chassis, be sure that you have discharged all static electricity from your body and that the chassis power is turned off.
Connecting the System Cards
Follow these steps, referring to Figure 2 and Table 2, and make cable connections for the hardware configuration example.
Caution Do not remove a panel that covers an empty chassis slot until you are ready to install a card in the slot. After removing a panel to install a card, save the panel in case you need to use it later to cover an empty slot.
Note To easily manage cables that are connected to the system, install cards with the most connected cables as far left in the chassis as possible. For example, an MRP300 card with two 2-port WICs installed might be installed in slot 1, which prevents the cables connected to the card from obscuring the front panels of other cards.
Caution To enable the configuration program (
ICSConfig) to run correctly, the Cisco ICS 7750 must not be connected to the Ethernet network. Do not remove the sticker covering the Ethernet ports on the SSP card until directed to do so. You will connect the system to the Ethernet network after running the initial configuration program.
Step 1 Connect the interfaces in MRP and ASI cards:
a. Use a serial cable to connect the T1/E1 WIC port (labeled 10 in Figure 2) to the wall jack that provides WAN data services to your Cisco ICS 7750.
b. Use a straight-through RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C cable to connect the T1/E1 VIC/VWIC port (labeled 11 in Figure 2) to the PSTN or to a PBX.
Caution Connect only an FXO interface approved for use in your country to the PSTN. Otherwise, connect the FXO interface only to a PBX. Connections from the PBX to the PSTN are permitted.
c. Use a standard modular telephone cable (RJ-11) to connect the FXO ports (labeled 12 in Figure 2) to the PSTN, to a PBX, or to a combination of them. You can connect this card to the same PBX that you connected to in Step 1, part b.
Note In countries where PSTNs do not use RJ-11 wall outlets, use a suitable adapter to convert the plug on an RJ-11 modular cable to the type of wall outlet connector used locally. These adapters are not sold by Cisco Systems but are available from other vendors.
d. Use a straight-through cable (RJ-48S-to-RJ-48S or RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C) to connect the CSU/DSU (labeled 13 in Figure 2) to a digital trunk that supports four-wire switched 56 kbps data services, such as AT&T Accunet 56 or Sprint VPN-56, or one of many other switched data services offered by local exchange carriers.
e. Use a standard modular telephone cable (RJ-11) to connect DID ports (labeled 15 in Figure 2) to a PSTN line that has been provisioned for DID, to a PBX, or to a combination of them.
f. Use a standard modular telephone cable (RJ-11) to connect FXS ports (labeled 14 and 16 in Figure 2) to analog devices (such as telephones, fax machines, or teleconferencing stations).
Note For more information on connecting WICs, VWICs, and VICs, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide.
Step 2 (Optional) You can use the supplied console cable (blue) to connect a display device or a modem to the SAP console port (labeled 10 in Figure 2), making possible command-line interface (CLI) configuration of the Cisco ICS 7750. There are two ways to make this connection:
•Display device—Connect to a PC COM port (using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter) or to a terminal (using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter).
•Modem—Connect to a modem (using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter) to enable a dial-up connection (9600-baud maximum). You can communicate with the Cisco ICS 7750 remotely by using the CLI through a dial-up connection.
Step 3 You can use an EIA/TIA-232 rollover cable (or the supplied blue console cable) to connect the SAP COM ports to enable the system to monitor an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), to integrate with an external legacy voice-mail system, or to enable remote access to the Cisco ICS 7700 System Manager software, as follows:
•UPS—Using the EIA/TIA-232 cable that came with your UPS, connect the APC Smart-UPS serial port (using an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter) to the SAP COM1 port. (Refer to the Cisco ICS 7750 Administration and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on how to configure the software on the Cisco ICS 7750 to support UPS monitoring).
Note Alternatively, the UPS can be monitored through an Ethernet connection.
Note If you are using a UPS other than the APC Smart-UPS, you might not be able to monitor its status through the Cisco ICS 7750.
•Voice mail—Connect the Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI) port on a legacy voice-mail system to the COM1 or COM2 port on the SAP. (Refer to the Cisco ICS 7750 Administration and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on how to configure the software on the Cisco ICS 7750 to support this type of voice-mail configuration.)
•Remote System Manager access—Connect a modem (using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter) to the COM2 port on the SAP to enable remote access to the Cisco ICS 7700 System Manager software. (Refer to the Cisco ICS 7750 Administration and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on how to configure the system to support this configuration.)
Connecting the Peripherals
Before powering on the Cisco ICS 7750, you must connect the CD-ROM drive, a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse to an SPE310. These peripherals are required for installation of the Cisco CallManager software.
Note If you install a keyboard and mouse using the keyboard/mouse port on the SPE310, you can install these peripherals after you have powered on the Cisco ICS 7750, but you will need to restart the SPE310 card after you install the peripherals in order for the Windows 2000 operating system to recognize them. USB peripherals do not require a restart.
Note Be sure to remove the peripherals from the SPE310 after installing the Cisco CallManager software.
Attaching the CD-ROM Drive Tray
Complete the following steps to attach the CD-ROM drive tray to the fan tray on the Cisco ICS 7750:
Note The CD-ROM drive tray is for temporary use when loading software onto the SPE310. Remove the CD-ROM drive and drive tray when you finish the software installation.
Step 1 Remove the CD-ROM drive tray from the accessory kit.
Step 2 Attach the CD-ROM drive tray to the fan tray underneath the SPE310 by threading the hooks on the drive tray into the lowest portion of the grid on the fan tray as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Attaching the CD-ROM Drive Tray
Installing the CD-ROM Drive
Complete the following steps to install the CD-ROM drive:
Step 1 Remove the CD-ROM drive from the accessory kit.
Step 2 Place the CD-ROM drive in the drive tray as shown in Figure 4.
Caution Do not place any object other than the CD-ROM drive on the drive tray. The drive tray is designed for the weight of the CD-ROM drive only.
Figure 4 Installing the CD-ROM Drive
Step 3 Connect the CD-ROM drive USB cable to one of the USB ports on the SPE310.
Connecting a Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse to the SPE310 Card
•Connect your monitor cable to the monitor port on the SPE310 card.
•If you are using a PS/2-style keyboard and mouse, connect the "Y" splitter cable for your keyboard and mouse to the keyboard/mouse port on the SPE310 card. Then connect your keyboard and mouse to the available ends of the "Y" splitter cable.
•If you are using a USB keyboard and mouse, connect the USB keyboard to the available USB port on the SPE310 card, and then connect the mouse to the pass-through USB port on the keyboard. If you are using a USB hub instead of a keyboard with a pass-through USB port, connect the USB hub to the available USB port on the SPE310 card, and then connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB hub.
Using USB Devices
This section lists USB devices—keyboards, mice, and hubs—that have been tested for use with SPE310 cards in the ICS 7750 chassis.
•USB keyboards
–CompUSA Premium Multimedia Keyboard
–Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard
–Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro
•USB mice
–CompUSA Mini USB Mouse
–Kensington PocketMouse

USB devices that require installation of additional software or non-native Windows 2000 drivers will probably not work with the ICS 7750, and we therefore recommend against trying to use them.
Note USB devices not listed here may work with the SPE310, but Cisco cannot guarantee that they will. For more information about using USB devices and any known issues with USB devices, be sure to read Release Notes for the Cisco ICS 7750 for System Software Release 2.0.0.
Connecting Power to and Turning On the System
Figure 5 shows the power connections for the hardware configuration example described in this document. For instructions on connecting power cables for additional hardware configurations, refer to the "Installing the Cisco ICS 7750" chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 Hardware Installation Guide.
Figure 5 Power Configuration Example
Connecting Power to the System
Follow these steps to make power connections for the configuration shown in Figure 5:
Step 1 Connect the power supply module (labeled 1 in Figure 5) in the Cisco ICS 7750 to an AC power outlet on the UPS.
Step 2 Connect the RPS connector on each of the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches (labeled 2 and 3 in Figure 5) to any of the DC outlet connectors on the Cisco RPS 300.
Step 3 Connect the AC power connectors on each of the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches (labeled 4 and 5 in Figure 5) to any AC power connector on the UPS.
Step 4 Connect the AC power connector on the Cisco RPS 300 (labeled 6 in Figure 5) to an AC power connector on the UPS.
Note Optionally, you can connect the RPS to a dedicated wall outlet instead of the UPS; however, this connection does not provide backup power in case of power problems at your site.
Step 5 Plug the UPS into a power outlet (labeled 7 in Figure 5) at your site.
Turning On the System
Follow these steps to turn on power to the system:
Step 1 Press the UPS power button on the front panel. The UPS turns on.
Step 2 For one or both power supply modules installed in your system, set the power supply switch to on ( | ).
Note It may take up to ten minutes for the Cisco ICS 7750 to power on and perform the power-on self-test (POST). While the system is performing the POST, the LEDs on the system cards will blink. When all of the LEDs are no longer blinking, you can run the initial configuration (ICSConfig) program as outlined in "Running the Initial Configuration Program." For more information, see "Verifying Installation and Configuration" section.
Running the Initial Configuration Program
To configure the system for use, you run the Cisco ICS System Manager (also referred to as System Manager) initial configuration program (also referred to as ICSConfig), a web-browser-based program that prompts you to enter IP address and other network information. The Cisco ICS 7750 uses this information to send data and voice information over the local network, over the WAN, and to the PSTN. When the initial configuration program is complete, you can use the System Manager software to configure and manage the system or to install additional Cisco applications such as Cisco CallManager or Cisco Unity Voice Mail.
Caution To enable the initial configuration program to run correctly, the Cisco ICS 7750 must not be connected to the Ethernet network. Do not remove the sticker covering the Ethernet ports on the SSP card until you are directed to do so.You will connect the Ethernet 10/100 ports on the SSP to the Ethernet 10/100 ports on the external Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches after you run the initial configuration program.
Note Tasks that can be completed using the ICSConfig application or the System Manager should be done using those applications, not the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI). For more information about when to use ICSConfig or System Manager and when to use the CLI, see the section "Best Practices When Using the IOS CLI" in the Cisco ICS 7750 Administration and Troubleshooting Guide.
Before You Start
Perform the following tasks before you launch the initial configuration program (ICSConfig):
•Collect required information that the initial configuration program will prompt you to enter.
•Verify your PC requirements.
•Configure your PC IP address.
•Configure your web browser for System Manager.
•Install Microsoft Terminal Services Client.

Description
|
IP Address Pool for System Cards
|
A pool of IP addresses used to address system cards. You must define a continuous range of at least seven IP addresses. (It is recommended that you use a range of at least ten IP addresses to accommodate possible replacements in the future.)
|
Start IP
|
The starting IP address of the IP address pool for system cards.
|
End IP
|
The ending IP address of the IP address pool.
|
Subnet Mask
