Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2
Step 2 Gently slide the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 all the way into its chassis slot until you feel the connectors seat
with the router midplane.
Step 3 Seat the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 in the router midplane by tightening its captive installation screws with a
number 2 Phillips or a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver.
Note The NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is not fully seated in the router midplane until you tighten its captive
installation screws.
Step 4 If you removed power supplies from the router, replace the power supplies. (See the “Removing and
Replacing an AC-Input or DC-Input Power Supply” section on page 10-14 when replacing a power
supply in a Cisco 7200 VXR router.)
Step 5 If you slid the front of the router out of the rack, slowly guide the router back into the rack.
Step 6 Use a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws that secure the router to the front mounting
strips of the rack.
This completes the procedure for installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 in a Cisco 7200 VXR router.
Attaching the Rear Cable-Management Brackets and Cables (Optional)
You may choose to use one of two types of cable-management brackets. One type is the same as is used
on the front of the router for managing port adapter and I/O controller cables. The NPE-G1or NPE-G2
-specific bracket is used only on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, and provides more support for optical fiber
cables.
Depending on whether the router is front-mounted or rear-mounted in the rack, install the
cable-management brackets to the router. Go to one of these sections for instructions on rear-mounting
the cable-management brackets and attaching the cables:
• Installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 Cable-Management Brackets, page 7-29—This procedure applies
to both the Cisco 7200 VXR and Cisco uBR7246VXR routers.
• Installing the Rear Cable-Management Brackets on a Front-Mounted Router (Optional), page
7-31—This procedure applies to only the Cisco 7200 VXR router.
• Installing the Rear Cable-Management Brackets on a Rear-Mounted Router (Optional), page
7-32—This procedure applies to only the Cisco 7200 VXR router.
• Installing the Default Cable-Management Bracket on a Cisco uBR7246VXR Router (Optional),
page 7-34—This procedure applies to only the Cisco 7246VXR universal broadband router.
Installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 Cable-Management Brackets
If you are using the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 and installing the cable-management bracket (Cisco Product
Number MAS-7200-CBLMGMT), use the following instructions. Use Figure 7-17 when installing the
bracket on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 on the Cisco 7200 VXR router. Use Figure 7-18 when installing the
bracket on the Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 on the Cisco uBR7246VXR router.
