Preface
This document describes how to plan and prepare your site facilities for the installation of a Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 6000 Series Router.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers include the Cisco NCS 6008 Line Card Chassis (LCC) and the Cisco NCS 6000 Fabric Card Chassis (FCC). The site planning information for both chassis are included in this guide.
This document describes all the power, cooling, and environmental specifications to consider before ordering and installing the chassis. This document also describes each chassis, its components, site facilities requirements (such as floor space, weight requirements, receiving and staging), and installation to help you plan the site where the system will be installed. The Cisco product IDs (PIDs) are listed in System Product IDs chapter.
 Note | The installation of a Cisco NCS 6000 Series Router may require space, floor loading, power, and cooling modifications to a facility. Therefore, you should plan the site well in advance of the delivery of the system. |
