General Safety Precautions
General safety precautions are not related to any specific procedures and do not appear elsewhere in this publication. Personnel must understand and apply the following precautions during installation and testing of the Cisco ONS 15530.
•Know standard electrical safety and electrical wiring and connection practices.
•Be familiar with cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Obtain this information through the appropriate national authority (such as the Red Cross or the local equivalent). This knowledge is imperative for personnel working with or near voltages with levels capable of causing injury or death.
Recommended Safety Precautions
We recommend the following precautions when working on the Cisco ONS 15530:
•Do not lift an object alone that could be too heavy for one individual.
•Keep your work area tidy and free of obstructing objects at all times.
•Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that could be caught in the components during installation or use.
•Use the equipment only in accordance with the electrical power rating.
•Do not work alone if hazardous conditions may exist in your workplace.
•Install the Cisco ONS 15530 components in compliance with the following local and national electrical codes:
–In the United States: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70; US National Electrical Code
–In Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1
–In other countries: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364, part 1-7
•Properly ground the equipment.
•Connect only a DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in UL60950, CSA 60950, EN 60950, and IEC60950 to Cisco ONS 15530 DC power supply input.
•Terminate all laser outputs properly before connecting laser inputs.
•Disconnect the input end of an optical fiber jumper cable before disconnecting the output end.
•Handle glass fiber with care. Glass fiber can be broken if mishandled. Using broken fiber can result in permanent equipment damage.
•Protect skin from exposed glass fiber. It can penetrate the skin.
•Limit the number of personnel that have access to lightwave transmission systems. Personnel should be authorized and properly trained if access to laser emissions is required.
•Limit the use of laser test equipment to authorized, trained personnel during installation and service. This precaution includes using optical loss test (OLT) set, optical spectrum analyzer, and optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) equipment.
•Exclude any unauthorized personnel from the immediate laser radiation area during service and installation when there is a possibility that the system may become energized. Consider the immediate service area to be a temporary laser-controlled area.
•The Cisco ONS 15530 operates in the 1310 to 1550 nm window, which is considered invisible radiation. You cannot see the laser light being emitted by a fiber, a pigtail, or a bulkhead connector. Use appropriate eye protection during fiber-optic system installation or maintenance whenever there is potential for laser radiation exposure, as recommended by the company's health and safety procedures. Observe this precaution whether or not warning labels have been posted.
Preventing ESD Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic cards or components are mishandled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Note the following guidelines before you install or service the system:
•Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap when handling electronic components. Connect one end of the strap to an ESD jack or an unpainted metal component on the system (such as a captive installation screw).
•Handle cards by the faceplates and edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins.
•Place any removed component on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag.
•Avoid contact between the cards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the card from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Note For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megaohms (Mohms).

Before Installing
Before you install the shelf, you must complete the following tasks:
•Unpack and inspect the shelf.
•Maintain a network record.
Caution Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so you do not damage the connector housing or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install protective covers on unused or disconnected components to prevent contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing them.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Step 1 Take inventory. Compare the equipment inside with the packing slip and the equipment list provided by customer service. If there are any discrepancies, notify the Customer Service Center.
Step 2 Check for external damage. Visually check all components and immediately report any shipping damage to your customer service representative. Have the following information ready:
•Invoice number of shipper (see packing slip)
•Model and serial number of the damaged unit
•Description of damage
•Effect of damage on the installation
Cleaning the Shelf
Be careful with the airflow system when you clean the chassis. If the cleaning process must be done while the system is running, be aware that the airflow system is in operation. Clean the chassis with a damp cloth only and be careful of the following:
•Do not touch the airflow system while fans are operating.
•Do not use wet tissues for cleaning the chassis.
•Do not use any harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
Warning Invisible laser radiation might be emitted from the end of the fiber or connector. Do not stare into the beam or view directly with optical instruments.
When installing your optical connectors, consider the following issues:
•Dirty optical connectors are a common source of light loss. Keep the connectors clean at all times and keep the dust cover installed when not in use.
•Before installing any type of cable or connector, use a lint-free alcohol pad from a cleaning kit to clean the ferrule, the protective white tube around the fiber, and the end-face surface of the fiber.
•As a general rule, whenever there is a significant, unexplained loss of light, clean the connectors.
Caution Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so you do not damage the connector housing or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install filler modules on unused or disconnected components to prevent contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing them.
Use a swab saturated with isopropyl alcohol to clean the end-surfaces. Use dry, oil-free compressed air after applying the isopropyl alcohol.
Performing Fiber Plant Characterization
To verify fiber characteristics to qualify the fiber in the network, proper testing is required.
The test measurement results must be documented and will be referred to during acceptance testing of a network, as described in this guide.
This test measurement data can also be used to determine whether your network can support higher bandwidth services such as OC-192, and can help determine network requirements for dispersion compensator modules or amplifiers.
Fiber-optic testing procedures must be performed to measure the following parameters:
•Link loss (attenuation)
•Optical return loss (ORL)
•Polarization mode dispersion (PMD)
•Chromatic dispersion
•Fiber length
For more information on fiber plant characterization, refer to the Cisco ONS 15530 Planning Guide.
