This chapter provides instructions for installing Cisco 15200 units, which include assembled-to-order Cisco 15252 Mulitchannel Units (MCUs) and individual MCU components, and assembled-to-order ONS 15201 Single-Channel Units (SCUs) and individual SCU components. This chapter also explains how to install a new channel on an MCU and how to link multiple nodes to accommodate additional traffic.


Note   The instructions in this section primarily address the installation of the ONS 15252 MCUs, ONS 15201 SCUs, and modules supplied by Cisco Systems. Installation of racks, electrical wiring, raceways, and other equipment not covered in this manual should follow all local, state, federal, or international (if applicable) codes and regulations.

3.1  Installation Overview

You should be thoroughly familiar with the instructions in this manual before starting any work. Use the following general order of work when installing a site:


Step 1   Read and observe all safety cautions and warnings in "Safety Summary."

Step 2   When you arrive at the site, first verify the ONS 15200 equipment according to the procedures in "Pre-Installation Procedures." If there is a problem with the equipment, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at 1-877-323-7368.

Step 3   If you do not install the equipment when it arrives, store as specified in "Pre-Installation Procedures."

Step 4   Unpack equipment only after preparing the site as described in "Pre-Installation Procedures."

Step 5   When installing equipment at a site, follow the procedures in this chapter in the order presented.

Step 6   Turn up and test the ONS 15200 system as described in "Turn Up and Test."

Step 7   Make connections using the information in "Connectors and Cabling."


3.2  Installation Planning

Based on the system to be installed, determine the size, number, and location of racks, as well as the MCUs and SCUs required. The MCUs and SCUs will fit in 485 mm (19-in.) equipment racks. The racks must be accessible from the front and rear for equipment installation.


Note   If you do not have rear access to the equipment, you must install the ground and power on the equipment before mounting the equipment in a rack.

Plan rack and unit installation based on the following considerations:

3.2.4  Power Considerations

The ONS 15252 MCU, ONS 15252 fan unit, and ONS 15201 SCU can be powered with a regular telecommunication power supply of -48 VDC (and 0 VDC return). AC powering can be made from the regular power grid, at both 115 VAC and 230 VAC, through the use of AC-to-DC power converters. Two independent power supplies can be attached to the ONS 15200 equipment. If two different supplies are used, they should be independently powered.


Caution   The AC cord which can be ordered for the SCU is not to be used in cable management devices such as wiring ducts, plenums, or risers. For such applications, an approved AC power cord must be provided by the customer. At minimum, the AC power cord must meet all National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, 2000 Edition) standards and all local building code requirements. This applies to Central Offices and other buildings.

3.2.5  Shelf Version Considerations

Two versions of the ONS 15252 MCU mechanical shelf exist: Release 1.0 and Release 1.01. Cisco currently ships only the Release 1.0.1 shelf and no longer ships the Release 1.0 shelf.

The Release 1.0.1 shelf includes a baffle. The baffle is a partially-perforated, angled metal plate that is mounted below and behind the metal support beam and is mechanically attached to the back of the shelf. It runs the width of the shelf. To view the baffle, look up through the ventilation cavities at the back of the shelf.

The ONS 15252 Release 1.01 includes a fan unit. Before using the Release 1.01 shelf, you must install the fan unit. Do not use the fan unit with a Release 1.0 shelf. See the Cisco ONS 15200 Product Description for more information about the fan unit.


Caution   You must install the fan unit in a Release 1.01 shelf. Running the Release 1.01 shelf without the fan unit may result in equipment damage.


Caution   Do not install the fan unit in a Release 1.0 shelf. Running the Release 1.0 shelf with a fan unit may result in equipment damage.

The ONS 15252 Release 1.01 includes an updated Network Adaptation Module (NAM). The Release 1.01 NAM is designated with a "N3"label on the faceplate, whereas the previous version of the NAM does not have a faceplate label. The Release 1.01 shelf requires the Release 1.01 NAM. You can also use Release 1.01 NAMs in the Release 1.0 shelf. See the Cisco ONS 15200 Module Handbook for more information about the NAM.


Caution   Placing NAMs without the N3 label into an Release 1.01 shelf may result in equipment damage.

Step 8   Repeat Steps 1 - 7 for each SCU in the configuration.


3.8  ONS 15200 System Internal Bus Connection

You can extend the ONS 15200 system internal bus between system nodes by physically connecting control area network (CAN) bus cables between the nodes.

The two different network objects may be put together in any combination, as long as the total CAN bus length is less than 22 meters and the following rules are met:


Note   One-meter (3.3 ft.) and five-meter (16.4 ft.) bus cables are available from Cisco (P/N 72-2654 and 72-2790, respectively.

Route the bus cables from one node to another and connect them to the INT BUS connectors.

The different CLIP modules of an ONS 15252 MCU—as well as an NCB module—are connected with a CAN bus. This data bus can be extended over several co-located network elements (ONS 15252 MCUs or ONS 15201 SCUs) to a larger logical unit. In the SCU, the same data bus is used, and normally all ONS 15200 equipment located at one site will be connected on one CAN bus. Communication between the two endpoints of a channel is carried optically over a proprietary protocol, QPP. Any CLIP module that will be controlled by an NCB module must not be more than two optical communication channels away from that NCB module.


Figure 3-36: MCU CAN-bus access points



Figure 3-37:
SCU CAN-bus access points


When several MCUs are joined on a single CAN bus, they must have different backplane jumpers. The backplane jumpers are located between Slots 15 and 16 of the MCU backplane (Figure 3-38).

When leaving the factory, the two jumpers are set to 00. When adding MCUs to a single CAN bus, reset these jumpers to 01, 10, and 11. In an MCU with backplane jumpers set to 11, only slot positions 1 through 12 can be used because the system will try to assign identical DCN addresses to all CLIPs in Slots 12 through 16. Each CLIP must have a unique DCN address.


Note   Before changing the MCU backplane jumper settings, turn the system power off. After you have changed the settings, turn the power back on. When the you restart the power, the system assigns each CLIP a new unique DCN address.
