Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Router Overview

The Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router 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 the 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.


Note Cisco cable modem cards for the Cisco uBR7246 will be available for delivery in Q1 1998.

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.


Note The I/O controller is available with or without a Fast Ethernet port.
Figure 1 shows an I/O controller with a Fast Ethernet port.

Figure 1: Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Router--Front View



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 online insertion and removal (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 2). 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 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).


Figure 3: Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Router--Rear View



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 universal broadband router comes equipped with one 550W AC-input power supply. A fully configured Cisco uBR7246 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 grounding receptacles that provide a chassis ground connection for ESD equipment or a two-hole grounding lug.

Seven internal fans draw cooling air into the chassis and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature. (Refer to Figure 1.) 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 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.

Fan Tray Overview

The fan tray, shown in Figure 4, consists of seven fans enclosed in a metal tray. The fan tray is located in the subchassis on the left side of the Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router when viewing the router from the front (refer to Figure 1). The fan tray receives DC-input power through a power connector that connects to the router midplane.


Figure 4: Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Router Fan Tray



The fan tray draws cooling air in through the intake vent on the right side of the chassis (when viewing the router from the front [the port adapter and cable modem card end]), and moves the air across the internal components and out the exhaust vent on the left side of the chassis. Figure 5 shows the air flow through the Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router.


Figure 5: Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Router Thermal Airflow--Top View



The right and left sides of the router must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent overheating inside the router. Maintain at least three inches of clearance on both sides of the router.
