 | Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace the LightStream 1010 ATM switch, chassis, power supplies, fan assembly, or modules. |
The LightStream 1010 uses a five-slot, modular chassis featuring the option of dual, fault-tolerant, load-sharing power supplies. (See Figure 1.) The central slot in the LightStream 1010 is dedicated to a single, field-replaceable ATM switch processor (ASP) module that supports both the 5-Gbps shared memory and the fully nonblocking switch fabric. The ASP also supports the feature card and high performance reduced instruction set (RISC) processor that provides the central intelligence for the device. The remaining slots support up to four hot-swappable Carrier Modules (CAMs). Each CAM supports up to two hot-swappable Port Adapter Modules (PAMs) for a maximum of eight PAMs per switch, supporting a wide variety of desktop, backbone, and wide-area interfaces.
The LightStream 1010 ATM switch provides switched ATM connections to individual workstations, servers, LAN segments, or other ATM switches and routers using fiber-optic, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), and coaxial cable.
The LightStream 1010 ATM switch can accommodate up to 32 OC-3, 8 OC-12, and 16 DS3 and E3 switched ATM ports in a standard 19-inch (48-centimeter) rack.
Figure 2 shows an example of a network configuration using the LightStream 1010 ATM switch in a high-performance workgroup.

The eight available CAMs support any combination of network interfaces to provide the following maximum port densities:
You can install any combination of PAMs in any of the eight available PAM slots. There are no restrictions on either the number of modules that can be installed or their proximity to the ASP.
When preparing your site for network connections to the switch, you need to consider a number of factors related to each type of interface:
The following guidelines help ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list is not inclusive of all potentially hazardous situations that you may be exposed to as you install the module, so be alert.
| Warning Metal objects heat up when connected to power and ground, and can cause serious burns. |
The supervisor engine, modules, and redundant (second) power supplies are designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system. Before removing a redundant power supply, make sure the first supply is powered on.
You must shut down the system before removing or replacing any of the replaceable components inside the front panel, for example, the backplane. Never install equipment that appears damaged.
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
In addition, use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source but still connected to telephone wiring or other network cabling.
| Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. |
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which occurs when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, can result in complete or intermittent failures. The ASP and PAMs each consist of a printed circuit card that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors, and a handle are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the cards from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap whenever you handle the ASP or PAMs. Handle the carriers by the handles and the carrier edges only; never touch the cards or connector pins.
 | Caution Always tighten the captive installation screws on the ASP and PAMs when you are installing them. These screws prevent accidental removal of the ASP, CAMs, and PAMs, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that the bus connectors are properly seated in the backplane. |
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
| Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms). |
The system DRAM resides on a Single In-Line Memory Module (SIMM) on the ASP. The default DRAM configuration is 16 MB. This section provides the steps for increasing the amount of DRAM from 16 MB to 32 or 64 MB by adding two 16- or 32-MB SIMMs.
The amount of DRAM required on the ASP module is determined by the number of active physical and logical ports (virtual path tunnels) and the expected number of active switched virtual channels (SVCs) through the switch. Table 2 is an approximate guide that should be used when determining the amount of DRAM required for a switch with 32 physical ports.
| DRAM Required | SVCs Required |
|---|---|
16 MBytes DRAM | Less than 4000 active SVCs |
32 MBytes DRAM | Between 4000 and 16000 active SVCs |
64 MBytes DRAM | Between 16000 and 32000 active SVCs |
Although the SIMM specifications are defined in the manufacturers' part numbers, the SIMMs must meet the following requirements:
You need the following parts and tools to replace SIMMs. If you need additional equipment, contact a customer service representative for ordering information.
The system DRAM resides in two SIMMs on the ASP. The DRAM SIMM sockets are U164 and U178. The default DRAM configuration is 16 MB (two 8-MB SIMMs). (See Figure 5.)
Before proceeding, you must met the following prerequisites:
| Caution To upgrade DRAM, you install SIMMs in both DRAM SIMM connectors. To prevent DRAM errors, both DRAM connectors must contain one SIMM of the same type. |
| Caution The ASP must not be removed while the switch is powered on. The switch must be powered off before removing this module. Removing the ASP while the power is on may damage the processor. |
Place removed SIMMs on an antistatic mat and store them in an antistatic bag. You can use the SIMMs that you remove in compatible equipment. To prevent ESD damage, handle SIMMs by the card edges only.
Follow these steps to remove the existing SIMMs:
Step 1 Turn off the system power, but do not disconnect the power cable (to channel ESD voltages to ground).
Step 2 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.
Step 3 Disconnect the console and auxiliary cables from the ASP.
Step 4 Loosen the captive installation screws on the ASP and remove one from slot 2 of the chassis (refer to Figure 6).
Step 5 Place the ASP on an antistatic mat or pad, and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as a wrist strap. Position the ASP so that the faceplate is away from you, and the edge connector is toward you (opposite of the position shown in Figure 5).
Step 6 Locate SIMMs. The DRAM SIMMs occupy sockets U164 and U178. The Flash SIMM occupies socket U189 (see Figure 5).
Step 7 Release the spring clips from the SIMM that you wish to remove and release the SIMM from the socket (see Figure 6).
Step 8 Grasp the ends of the SIMM with your thumb and forefinger, When both ends of the SIMM are released from the socket, and pull the SIMM completely out of the socket. Handle the edges of the SIMM only; avoid touching the memory module, pins, metal traces, or fingers, along the socket edge.
Step 9 Place the SIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Step 10 Repeat steps 7 through 9 for the remaining SIMMs, as required for your upgrade.
This completes the SIMM removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install the new SIMMs.
SIMMs are sensitive components that are susceptible to ESD damage. Handle SIMMs by the edges only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along the connector edge of the SIMM). (See Figure 7.)
| Caution Handle SIMMs by the card edges only. SIMMs are sensitive components that can be shorted by mishandling. |
Follow these steps to install the new SIMMs:
Step 1 Hold the ASP in the same position as in the previous procedure (with the handle facing away and the edge connector toward you), install the first SIMM in the socket farthest from you. Then install the last SIMM in the socket closest to you.
Step 2 Remove a new SIMM from the antistatic bag.
Step 3 Hold the SIMM component side up with the connector edge (the metal fingers) closest to you.
Step 4 Hold the sides of the SIMM between your thumb and middle finger, with your forefinger against the far edge, opposite the connector edge. (See Figure 5.)
Step 5 Tilt the SIMM to approximately the same angle as the socket, and insert the entire connector edge into the socket.
| Caution When inserting SIMMs, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you must return the ASP to the factory for repair. |
Step 6 Push the SIMM gently into the socket until the spring clips snap over the ends of the SIMM. If necessary, rock the SIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly.
Step 7 Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the remaining SIMM.
Step 8 Check all four alignment holes, when both SIMMs are installed, (two on each SIMM) and ensure that the spring retainer is visible. If it is not, the SIMM is not seated properly. If any SIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the SIMM firmly back into the socket until the retainer springs snap into place.
The SIMM replacement procedure is now complete.
To replace the ASP in the chassis, see the section "Installing and Replacing the ASP, CAMs, and PAMs" in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch User Guide. After the rasp is replaced, restart the system for an installation check.
If the system fails to boot properly, or if the console terminal displays a checksum or memory error, check the following:
If after several attempts the system fails to restart properly, contact a service representative for assistance. Before you call, make note of any error messages, unusual LED states, or any other indications that might help solve the problem.
