Rack-Mounting the 15540-ACPS-N-E External Power Shelf

This section describes the installation of the 15540-ACPS-N-E external power shelf.


Note Make sure you install the 15540-ACPS-N-E external power shelf close enough to your chassis so that you can connect all power cords to the chassis and to the power outlet. We recommend that you install the 15540-ACPS-N-E external power shelf directly above your Cisco ONS 15540 chassis, leaving one-half inch of space between the chassis and the power shelf or in a directly adjacent rack. The external power shelf is a 19-inch (483 mm) wide rack mount shelf, 3.5 inches (86 mm) high and 12 inches (305 mm) deep.


To install the 15540-ACPS-N-E external power shelf in an equipment rack, follow these steps:


Step 1 Align the mounting holes of the external power shelf with the mounting holes in the equipment rack.

Step 2 Secure the external power shelf using eight (four per side) 12-24 x 3/4-inch screws through the holes in the external power shelf and into the threaded holes in the mounting post. (See Figure 2-31.)

Figure 2-31 Installing the 15540-ACPS-N-E External Power Shelf in the Rack

Step 3 Use a tape measure and level to ensure that the external power shelf is installed straight and level.

Step 4 Remove the spacer bar after the external power shelf is secured to the rack.


Connecting DC-Input Power from the 15540-ACPS-N-E External Power Shelf

To apply DC-input power to your Cisco ONS 15540 shelf, you must install a cable strain relief bracket and two DC power cables. The two DC power cables are connected to each other at the cable strain relief bracket. To complete the connections, follow these steps:


Step 1 Attach the cable strain relief bracket to the side of the Cisco 15540 chassis. (See Figure 2-32.)

Figure 2-32 Installing the Cable Strain Relief Bracket

Step 2 Remove the four screws from the terminal block access panel on the back panel of the chassis. (See Figure 2-33.)

Figure 2-33 Removing the Terminal Block Access Panel

Step 3 Snap the cable connector of the short DC power cable into the cable strain relief bracket. (See Figure 2-33.)

Step 4 Insert the cable through the left rear of the chassis and connect the leads to the terminal blocks (see Figure 2-34) in the following sequence:

Black lead to RTNA.

Red lead to -48A.


Note The ground connections should always be connected first and disconnected last.

Using Y-Cable

Using an external 2:1 combiner (the y-cable), connections between the client equipment and the transponder interfaces are duplicated. This means each input and output client signal is connected to two transponder interfaces, one active and one standby. During any interval, one of the transmitters at the client interface is turned on and is generating the required optical signal, and the second transmitter is off.

Refer to the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Planning Guide for y-cable configuration guidelines.

Attaching the Y-Cable

To attach the y-cable to the transponder modules, follow these steps:


Step 1 Read the configuration guidelines in the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Configuration Guide and the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Command Reference.

Step 2 Choose the ports you will use.

Step 3 Lift the shutters on the two intended ports and attach one end of the two-sided cable to each of the ports.

Step 4 Attach the other end to the client equipment if not already attached.
