Maintenance Best Practices
Clean Environment
Ensure that the chassis installation site is dust free.
Use ller cards in empty slots to prevent dust accumulation and to maintain proper airow.
Always use dust caps on empty optical ports to prevent dust accumulation and airow leakage.
Clean the optical ports according to standard cleaning procedures.
Maintain good air quality, and check air chemical composition at regular intervals. Impure air with high levels of chemical
concentration can cause corrosion that, in turn, would result in product degradation.
Operating Temperature
While packing and transporting line cards or other modules, use only Cisco provided packaging. Any other improper packaging for
moving equipment may severely damage the product.
Repackage the components the same way as it was packaged at the time of product delivery by including all packaging materials.
Orienting the product incorrectly inside the package may cause damage to the product during transportation.
Always use the ESD cover to wrap the hardware before packing it into packaging cartons. Handle any failed hardware with care, and
use an ESD wrist band or an antistatic bag.
Maintain normal operations by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they approach critical values by properly
planning and preparing your site before you install the router.
If the temperature or power requirement of the line card or the chassis exceeds the operating temperature or power requirement,
a thermal shutdown procedure is initiated as applicable.
Operate the chassis only within the limits of the recommended temperature. For technical specications, refer to the respective
