Introduction

This chapter contains only general information about installing the CC9600 chassis. The equipment should
be installed only by a qualified service person.

The CC9600 is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch-wide rack cabinet. Figure 1 shows a fully
loaded chassis with one controller card, two power supplies, and a full complement of RASCards and
modem cards.

Pre-Installation Notes

•

Unpack hardware carefully.

•

Perform a visual inspection of the hardware. If you are concerned about the condition of the chassis,
call Technical Support.

•

All installation must be done by a qualified service person.

•

Consult the manuals for your other components (PS9600, MR9600, MTRAS96, and MTxxxxHD8)
before they are installed into the CC9600.

•

To reduce emissions, be sure to use blanking plates to cover empty slots in the CC9600 chassis.

•

Only connect like circuits. In other words, connect SELV (Secondary Extra Low Voltage) circuits to
SELV circuits and TN (Telecommunications Network) circuits to TN circuits.

The chassis can work with
one or two PS9600 power
supplies. The second power
supply is redundant. If any
of the outputs on either
supply is low or fails, the
other supply takes over with
no switchover period,
producing all the power
required to run the system.
(Both power supplies must
be turned on; when both
supplies are operating, they
share the load.)

The controller module
contains a processor and
memory for intelligent
operation of the rack, plus
an integrated Ethernet
concentrator.
