Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Planning
Cisco Professional Installation
Professional installation of the Cisco 10008 router is available through the Cisco Professional Services
group. This includes advance site planning, configuring the router to your requirements, and testing the
installed system.
For more information about professional installation, talk to your Cisco sales representative.
Site Selection Guidelines
The Cisco 10008 router requires specific environmental operating conditions. Temperature, humidity,
altitude, and vibration can affect the performance and reliability of the router. The following sections
provide specific information to help you plan for the proper operating environment.
Site Environmental Requirements
Environmental monitoring in the Cisco 10008 series router protects the system and components from
damage caused by excessive voltage and temperature conditions. To ensure normal operation and avoid
unnecessary maintenance, plan and prepare your site configuration before installation. After installation,
make sure the site maintains the environmental characteristics as shown in Table 2-1.
Heat Dissipation
Like all electronic equipment, the Cisco 10008 router chassis and components produce heat when turned
on and operating. You must assess the site’s air conditioning capacity, and ensure it can compensate for
the heat dissipation of the system. Table 2-2 shows the maximum BTUs dissipated by the Cisco 10008
chassis with an AC PEM and all line cards installed.
