Introduction

This manual describes how to install, troubleshoot, and repair an IGX 8400 series node running Release 8.2 of the System Software. In addition to the chapters that provide these descriptions, the appendices describe operational parameters, supported peripherals, cabling, and the types of support that Cisco offers.

The IGX 8400 series of WAN switches consist of the IGX 8410, IGX 8420, and IGX 8430. An IGX switch can reside in a rack or a stand-alone cabinet. Figure 1-1 illustrates an IGX 8410 mounted in a cabinet.

For descriptions of the hardware in an IGX 8410, IGX 8420, or IGX 8430 node, refer to the Cisco IGX 8400 Series Reference.

The installation and related topics in this manual consist of the following:

1 ) Enclosure or rack installation

This includes procedures for installing all switches in the IGX series in a cabinet or rack, using appropriate tools and mounting rails.
