It includes instructions for powering down the router, removing an installed power supply, and installing a new power supply. This document also includes steps for verifying the initialization of the system after you power up the Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router.
The following sections are included in this document:
The Cisco IOS software running your router contains extensive features and functionality. The effective use of many of these features is easier if you have more information at hand. For additional information on configuring and maintaining the Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband routers, the following documentation resources are available:
The Cisco uBR7246 is part of a new class of Cisco data-over-cable products designed to allow two-way transmission of digital data over hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) cable. The Cisco uBR7246 supports Internet Protocol (IP) routing with a wide variety of protocols and any combination of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, high-speed serial interface (HSSI), and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) media.
Network interfaces reside on port adapters that provide the connection between the router and external networks (the Internet). HFC interfaces reside on cable modem cards and provide the connection to the cable television (CATV) network. The Cisco uBR7246 has four slots for cable modem cards, two slots for port adapters, one slot for an Input/Output (I/O) controller, and one slot for a network processing engine. You can place the port adapters in either of the two available slots and the cable modem cards in any of the four available slots.
There are bays for up to two AC-input power supplies. The Cisco uBR7246 will operate with one power supply. While a second power supply is not required, it allows load sharing and increased system availability.
The front of the Cisco uBR7246 provides access to an I/O controller, up to two network interface port adapters, and up to four cable modem cards (see Figure 1). The I/O controller contains the following: a local console port for connecting a data terminal (or data terminal equipment [DTE]) and an auxiliary port for connecting a modem (or other data communications equipment [DCE]) or other devices for configuring and managing the router; two Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) slots for Flash memory cards; an optional Fast Ethernet port. The Fast Ethernet port provides a 100-Mbps connection to the network.

The port adapters installed in the Cisco uBR7246 are of the same type as those installed in the Cisco 7200 series routers and on the second-generation Versatile Interface Processors (VIP2s) in the Cisco 7500 series routers. The port adapters installed in the Cisco uBR7246 support OIR
![]() | Caution The I/O controller does not support OIR. You must power down the Cisco uBR7246 before removing the I/O controller from the universal broadband router. |
![]() | Caution The cable modem cards currently available for field trials do not support OIR. You must power down the Cisco uBR7246 before removing any of these cable modem cards from the universal broadband router. |
Port adapter slots in the Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router are numbered from left to right, port adapter slot 1 and port adapter slot 2. Port adapter slot 0 is the Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller (refer to Figure 3). The cable modem card slots are numbered from top to bottom, cable modem card slot 3, slot 4, slot 5, and slot 6.
In Figure 1 and Figure 2, a blank port adapter is installed in the slot 1. To ensure adequate airflow across the port adapters and cable modem cards, each port adapter slot must be filled with a port adapter or a blank port adapter and each cable modem card slot must be filled with a cable modem card or a blank cable modem card.

The rear of the Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router provides access to the network processing engine and up to two power supplies (refer to Figure 3).

![]() | Caution The network processing engine does not support OIR. You must power down the Cisco uBR7246 before removing the network processing engine from the router. |
The network processing engine has no external connectors or LEDs. There is a handle for removing and installing the network processing engine and two captive installation screws for securing it to the chassis.
The Cisco uBR7246 router comes equipped with one 550W AC-input power supply. A fully configured Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router operates with only one installed power supply; however, a second, optional power supply provides hot-swappable, load-sharing, redundant power. Figure 3 shows the rear of a Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router configured with two AC-input power supplies.
The power supply has the router's main power switch, OK LED, and an AC-input power receptacle. Adjacent to the lower power supply bay there are two M5 chassis ground receptacles that provide a chassis ground connection for ESD equipment or a two-hole grounding lug.
Seven internal fans draw cooling air into chassis and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature. (Refer to Figure 3.) The seven fans are enclosed in a tray that is located in the subchassis
![]() | Caution To ensure the proper flow of cooling air across the internal components, make sure blank port adapters are installed in unoccupied port adapter slots, blank cable modem cards are installed in unoccupied cable modem card slots, and power supply filler plates and their attached air dams are installed in unoccupied power supply bays. |
The I/O controller, port adapters, cable modem cards, fan tray, power supplies, and network processing engine slide into their respective chassis slots and connect directly to the universal broadband router's midplane; there are no internal cables to connect. The midplane distributes DC power from the power supplies to the I/O controller, port adapters, cable modem cards, fan tray, and network processing engine.
The midplane also identifies OIR of the port adapters, bridges the PCI buses from the port adapters to packet static random-access memory (SRAM) on the network processing engine, arbitrates traffic across the PCI buses, and generates the clock signals for the port adapters on each PCI bus.
A fully configured Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router comes equipped with one 550W, AC-input power supply. An optional, second AC-input power supply is available for the router; it must be ordered. The router operates with one installed power supply; however, the second power supply provides hot-swappable, load-sharing redundant power.
The faceplate of the 550W AC-input power supply has a green OK LED, a power switch, a handle for removing, installing, and handling the power supply, an AC-input power receptacle, and two captive installation screws (refer to Figure 4).

The power supply handle provides a grip point for pulling the power supply out of the router (refer to Figure 5). The two captive installation screws secure the power supply in the router. A modular power cable connects the AC-input power supply to the site AC power source.
A cable-retention clip on the power supply secures the cable in the power supply and provides strain relief for the power cable. The power switch turns the power supply on and starts the system.

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry. ESD occurs when printed circuit boards are improperly handled and results in complete or intermittent failures.
The I/O controller, network processing engine, cable modem cards, and port adapters consist of a printed circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors, and a handle are integral components of the carrier. Handle the I/O controller, network processing engine, cable modem cards, and port adapters by their carrier edges and handle only; never touch the printed circuit board components or connector pins.
Although the metal carrier helps to protect the printed circuit boards from ESD, wear a preventive antistatic strap whenever handling the network processing engine, I/O controller, cable modem cards, or port adapters. Ensure that the strap makes good skin contact and connect the strap's clip to an unpainted chassis surface to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal part of the chassis
![]() | Caution Make sure to tighten the captive installation screws on the network processing engine, cable modem cards, and the I/O controller (use a number 2 Phillips's screwdriver). These screws prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the router, and help to ensure that the network processing engine, cable modem cards, and the I/O controller are properly seated in the router midplane. |
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
![]() | Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be within the range of 1 and 10 megohms. |
