Direct Connect NEBS Compliance Kit Release Notes

Direct Connect NEBS Compliance Kit Release Notes

July 30, 1999

These release notes present information for assuring that your Cisco 6100 system is Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) compliant.

For more detailed information about the information in these release notes, refer to the "Related Documentation" section. Information about electronic documentation can be found in the "Cisco Connection Online" section, and in the "Documentation CD-ROM" section.

Caution Proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is required whenever you handle Cisco DSLAM equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Modules are subject to ESD damage whenever they are removed from the chassis.

These release notes discuss the following topics:

2. Ferrites for DS3 System I/O Card, DS3 Subtending Card, and Power Connections Cables

For NEBS compliance, it is necessary to add ferrites to the cables used to connect

Caution If fuses are already installed in the fuse and alarm panel, remove them. You can replace the fuses after the system is cabled. The system should not be powered while adding the ferrites to the DS3 system I/O card, DS3 subtending card, and power connection cables.

2.1 Add Ferrites to the DS3 System I/O Card Cables

Use the following procedures to add ferrites to the DS3 system I/O card on the backplane of the MC. Figure 1 shows the attachment of the ferrites.


Step 1   Remove the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel. By removing the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel, the system will not be powered.

Step 2   Attach coax cables to the two DS3 BNC connectors (J3 and J4) on the left side of the DS3 system I/O card.

Step 3   Attach one ferrite (36-0087-01, quantity 2) to each of the cables as close to the DS3 BNC connectors as possible.

Step 4   Place one tie wrap (51-202060, quantity 18) directly behind each ferrite.

Step 5   Place another tie wrap around both cables where the cables meet after coming from the ferrite, and every 1 foot thereafter for a total of 15 feet.

Step 6   Reinsert the fuses in the fuse and alarm panel. By reinserting the fuses, the system will become powered.

2.2 Add Ferrites to the DS3 Subtending Card Cables

If you have a subtended network, use the following procedures to add ferrites to the DS3 subtending card on the backplane of the MC. Figure 2 shows the attachment of the ferrites.


Step 1   Remove the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel. By removing the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel, the system will not be powered.

Step 2   Attach coax cables to the four DS3 BNC connectors (J1 through J4) on the right side of the DS3 subtending card.

Step 3   Attach one ferrite (36-0087-01, quantity 4) to each of the cables as close to the DS3 BNC connectors as possible.

Step 4   Place one tie wrap (51-202060, quantity 36) directly behind each ferrite.

Step 5   Place another tie wrap around both cables where the cables meet after coming from the ferrite, and every 1 foot thereafter for a total of 15 feet.

Step 6   Reinsert the fuses in the fuse and alarm panel. By reinserting the fuses, the system will become powered.

2.3 Add Ferrites to the Power Connections Cables

The power connections from the MC to the fuse and alarm panel can be wired for dual- or single-power feed.

The ferrites included in the NEBS compliance kit must be installed on the cables used to connect the fuse and alarm panel and the power connections on the MC. The cables used to connect the fuse and alarm panel and the power connections should be looped through the ferrite as shown in Figure 3.

2.3.1 Dual-Power Feed

Use the following procedures to add ferrites to the cables connecting the power connections on the backplane of the MC to the fuse and alarm panel for dual-power feed. Figure 4 shows the dual-power feed connections from the MC to the fuse and alarm panel and the attachment of the ferrites to the power connection cables.


Step 1   Remove the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel. By removing the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel, the system will not be powered.

Step 2   Wire the -48V_A and -48V_B power connections from the MC (P13) to the fuse and alarm panel NEG DC connectors.

Step 3   Wire both -48RTN power connections from the MC (P13) to the fuse and alarm panel POS RTN connectors.

Step 4   Attach one ferrite (36-0087-01, quantity 4) close to the connectors on each of the cables going to the fuse and alarm panel.

Step 5   Reinsert the fuses in the fuse and alarm panel. By reinserting the fuses, the system will become powered.

Figure 5 shows the dual-power feed connections from the MC to the fuse and alarm panel and the attachment of the ferrites to the power connection cables.


Step 1   Remove the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel. By removing the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel, the system will not be powered.

Step 2   Wire the -48V_B power connection from the MC (P13) to the fuse and alarm panel NEG DC connector.

Step 3   Wire a -48RTN power connection from the MC (P13) to the fuse and alarm panel POS RTN connector. See Figure 5 for correct placement.

Step 4   Wire the -48RTNs to each other.

Step 5   Wire the -48V_A and -48V_B to each other.

Step 6   Attach one ferrite (36-0087-01, quantity 4) close to the connectors on each of the cables going to the fuse and alarm panel.

Step 7   Reinsert the fuses in the fuse and alarm panel. By reinserting the fuses, the system will become powered.

3. MC and PSC Ground Lugs

In the upper left corners of the MC and POTS splitter chassis (PSC) are ground lugs used to ground the chassis to the rack. The one hole lugs should be replaced by two hole lugs and a longer bracket. Figure 6 shows the original ground lugs.

Caution If fuses are already installed in the fuse and alarm panel, remove them. You can replace the fuses after you have replaced the ground lugs. The system should not be powered while replacing the ground lugs.

Figure 6: Original Ground Lugs


Figure 7 shows the replacement ground lugs on both chassis

5. Thermal Shield

A thermal shield is required between the two shelves of the MC to meet NEBS compliance. Use the following procedures to place the thermal shield between the shelves. Figure 9 shows the placement of the thermal shield in the MC.


Step 1   Make sure that provisioning is such that subscribers will not lose service when you remove all the modules from either quadrant on the lower shelf of the MC.

Step 2   Remove all the modules from the lower shelf on the left side of the MC.

Step 3   Insert the thermal shield (700-04630-01) in the space between the upper and lower shelves. The shield orientation should be with the notch in the back and offset to the right, knife edge toward the rear of the chassis, rounded edges away from the rear of the chassis, and the arrow on the shield up.

Step 4   Insert the right rear corner of the thermal shield first to create a gap. Continue to push the shield into the guide plates as far as possible.

Step 5   Use the second shield or a flat head screw driver to push the thermal shield in until it drops onto the lower module guides.

Step 6   Replace the modules in the lower shelf and reprovision.

Step 7   Repeat the steps above for the right side of the MC.
