Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable
This chapter explains how to install the Cisco ONS 15454 cards and fiber-optic cable (fiber).
Before You Begin
This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).
1. 
Before beginning any procedure in this chapter, make sure you have completed the "NTP-13 Perform the Shelf Installation Acceptance Test" procedure on page 1-61
2. NTP-15 Install the Common Control Cards—Complete this procedure before installing any other cards.
3. NTP-16 Install the Optical Cards—Complete this procedure as needed.
4. NTP-17 Install the Electrical Cards—Complete this procedure as needed.
5. NTP-18 Install the Ethernet Cards—Complete this procedure as needed.
6. NTP-116 Remove and Replace a Card—Complete this procedure as needed to remove and replace a card, including deleting the card from CTC and changing an optical card without losing the card's provisioning.
7. NTP-115 Pre-Provision a Slot—Complete this procedure as needed to provision an empty card slot with a card that will be installed later.
8. NTP-19 Install the Fiber-Optic Cables—Complete this procedure to install fiber on the optical cards or Ethernet GBICs and to route the fiber through the bottom of the shelf.
9. NTP-20 Replace the Front Door—If the front door was removed, complete this procedure to replace the front door and ground strap after installing cards and fiber.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Caution Unused card slots should be filled with a blank faceplate (Cisco P/N 15454-BLANK). The blank faceplate ensures proper airflow when operating the ONS 15454 without the front door attached, although Cisco recommends that the front door remain attached.
NTP-15 Install the Common Control Cards
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 due to electrical hazard.
Caution Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.
Note If you install a card incorrectly, the FAIL LED will flash continuously.
When installing cards, let each card completely boot before installing the next card.
Step 1 If you plan to install XC/XCVT cards, review Table 2-1 to determine card/slot compatibility. If you plan to install XC10G cards, review Table 2-2 to determine card/slot compatibility.
Step 2 Complete the "DLP-36 Install the TCC+ Cards" task.
Step 3 Complete the "DLP-37 Install the XC, XCVT, or XC10G Cards" task.
Step 4 Complete the "DLP-38 Install the Alarm Interface Controller or Alarm Interface Controller-International Card" task, if necessary.
Step 5 If you discover that you installed the wrong card in a slot, see the "NTP-116 Remove and Replace a Card" procedure.
Step 6 Proceed to the "NTP-16 Install the Optical Cards" procedure, the "NTP-17 Install the Electrical Cards" procedure, or the "NTP-18 Install the Ethernet Cards" procedure, as applicable for your site.

DLP-36 Install the TCC+ Cards
Purpose
|
This task installs redundant TCC+ cards. The first card you install in the ONS 15454 must be a TCC+, and it must initialize before you install any cross-connect or traffic cards.
|
Tools/Equipment
|
Two TCC+ cards
|
Prerequisite Procedures
|
DLP-33 Measure Voltage, page 1-63
|
Required/As Needed
|
Redundant TCC+ cards are required.
|
Onsite/Remote
|
Onsite
|
Security Level
|
Provisioning or higher
|
Step 1 Open the latches/ejectors of the first TCC+ card that you will install.
Step 2 Use the latches/ejectors to firmly slide the card along the guide rails until the card plugs into the receptacle at the back of the slot (Slot 7 or 11).
Step 3 Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the latches/ejectors on the card.
Note It is possible to close the latches/ejectors when the card is not completely plugged into the backplane. Ensure that you cannot insert the card any further.
If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDS turn off.
Step 4 Verify the LED activity:
a. The red FAIL LED turns on and remains illuminated for 20 to 30 seconds.
b. The red FAIL LED blinks for 35 to 45 seconds.
c. The red FAIL LED remains illuminated for 5 to 10 seconds.
d. All LEDs (including the CRIT, MAJ, MIN, REM, SYNC, and ACO LEDs) blink once and turn off for 5 to 10 seconds.
e. The ACT/STBY LED turns on. (The ACT/STBY LED may take several minutes to illuminate while the DCC processor boots.)
Note If the FAIL LED is illuminated continuously on the TCC+ card, see the tip below about the TCC+ automatic upload.
Note Alarm LEDs may be illuminated; disregard alarm LEDs until you are logged into CTC and can view the Alarms tab.
Tip When a newly installed TCC+ card has a different version of the ONS 15454 software installed than the version running on the active TCC+, the newly-installed TCC+ card automatically copies the software version running on the active TCC+. You do not need to do anything in this situation. However, the loading TCC+ card will not boot up in the normal manner. When the card is first inserted, the red FAIL LED stays on for a short period. The FAIL LED then blinks normally and all LEDs go dark. The FAIL LED and the ACT/STBY LED flash alternately every 30 to 45 seconds as the new software loads onto the new TCC+ card. After loading the new software for approximately 30 minutes, the TCC+ card becomes the standby card and the amber LED is illuminated.
Step 5 Verify that the ACT/STBY LED is green for active. The IP address for the node, the temperature of the ONS 15454, and the time of day will be displayed on the LCD. The default time and date is 12:00 AM, January 1, 1970.
Step 6 The LCD cycles through the IP address, node name, and software version. Verify that the correct software version displays on the LCD.
Step 7 If the LCD shows the correct software version, continue with Step 8. If the LCD does not show the correct software version, upgrade the software or remove the TCC+ card and install a replacement card.
Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Software Upgrade Guide or the "NTP-163 Restore the Node to Factory Configuration" procedure on page 15-11 to replace the software, or, to swap the TCC+, see the "NTP-116 Remove and Replace a Card" procedure.
Step 8 Open the latches/ejectors of the redundant TCC+ card.
Step 9 Use the latches/ejectors to firmly slide the card along the guide rails until the card plugs into the receptacle at the back of the slot (Slot 7 or 11).
Step 10 Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the latches/ejectors on the card.
Note It is possible to close the latches/ejectors when the card is not completely plugged into the backplane. Ensure that you cannot insert the card any further.
Step 11 Verify the LED activity:
a. The red FAIL LED turns on and remains illuminated for 20 to 30 seconds. If the red FAIL LED does not illuminate, check the power.
b. The red FAIL LED blinks for 35 to 45 seconds.
c. The red FAIL LED remains illuminated for 5 to 10 seconds.
d. All LEDs (including the CRIT, MAJ, MIN, REM, SYNC, and ACO LEDs) blink once and turn off for 5 to 10 seconds.
e. The ACT/STBY LED turns on. (The ACT/STBY LED may take several minutes to illuminate while the DCC processor boots.)
Note If the FAIL LED is illuminated continuously on the TCC+ card, see the tip in Step 4 about the TCC+ automatic upload.
Note If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDS turn off.
Note Alarm LEDs may be illuminated; disregard alarm LEDs until you are logged into CTC and can view the Alarms tab.
Step 12 Verify that the ACT/STBY LED is amber for standby.
Step 13 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Note To simplify UPSR to BLSR conversion and node addition, equip optical cards according to a high-speed east (Slots 12 and 13) and west (Slots 5 and 6) configuration. This configuration is not mandatory.
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 due to electrical hazard.
Caution Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.
Warning Class I (21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11) and Class 1M (IEC 60825-1 2001-01) laser products.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not stare into the beam or view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning On all optical cards except the OC192LR 1550 card, the laser is on even when the optical port is not in service. On the OC192LR 1550 card, the laser is active when the card is booted and the safety key is in the on position (labeled 1). The laser is off when the safety key is off (labeled 0).
Note If you install a card incorrectly, the FAIL LED will flash continuously.
Step 1 If you installed XC or XCVT cards, review Table 2-1 to determine card/slot compatibility. If you installed XC10G cards, review Table 2-2 to determine card/slot compatibility.
Install higher-capacity cards first; for example, install an OC-192 card before installing an OC-48 card. Let each card completely boot before installing the next card.
Step 2 Open the card latches/ejectors.
Warning Before installing an OC-192 card, make sure the safety key on the faceplate is in off position (labeled 0). When in the on position (labeled 1), the laser is activated.
Step 3 Use the latches/ejectors to firmly slide the optical card along the guide rails until the card plugs into the receptacle at the back of the slot.
Step 4 Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the latches/ejectors on the card.
Note It is possible to close the latches/ejectors when the card is not completely plugged into the backplane. Ensure that you cannot insert the card any further.
Step 5 Verify the LED activity, as described below.
1. The red FAIL LED turns on and remains illuminated for 20 to 30 seconds.
2. The red FAIL LED blinks for 35 to 45 seconds.
3. All LEDs blink once and turn off for 5 to 10 seconds.
4. The ACT or ACT/STBY LED turns on. The signal fail (SF) LED can persist until all card ports connect to their far end counterparts and a signal is present.
Step 6 If the card does not boot up properly, or the LED activity does not mirror Step 5, check the following:
•When a physical card type does not match the type of card provisioned for that slot in CTC, the card may not boot. If an optical card does not boot, open CTC and verify that the slot is not provisioned for a different card type before assuming the card is faulty.
•If the red FAIL LED does not illuminate, check the power.
•If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDS turn off.
•If the red FAIL LED is illuminated continuously or the LEDs behave erratically, the card is not installed properly. Remove the card and repeat Steps 2 - 5.

DLP-207 Install Fiber-Optic Cables on the LGX Interface
Note Inspect and clean all fiber connectors thoroughly. See the "NTP-112 Clean Fiber Connectors" procedure on page 15-21 for instructions. Dust particles can degrade performance. Put caps on any fiber connectors that are not used.
Step 1 Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the receiving SC connector on the LGX faceplate connection point. Each module supports at least one transmit and one receive connector to create an optical carrier port.
Step 2 Gently insert the cable connector into the faceplate connection point until the connector snaps into place.
Step 3 Connect the fiber optic cable to the OC-N card. See the "DLP-42 Install Fiber-Optic Cables on OC-N Cards" task.
Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-42 Install Fiber-Optic Cables on OC-N Cards
Note Inspect and clean all fiber connectors thoroughly. See the "NTP-112 Clean Fiber Connectors" procedure on page 15-21 for instructions. Dust particles can degrade performance. Put caps on any fiber connectors that are not used.
Step 1 Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the receiving SC connector on the faceplate connection point. Each card supports at least one transmit and one receive connector to create an optical carrier port. Figure 2-2 shows the cable location.
Figure 2-2 Installing fiber-optic cables
Note The OC12/STM4-4 card faceplate has four ports.
Step 2 Gently insert the cable connector into the faceplate connection point until the connector snaps into place.
Step 3 If you are installing fiber-optic cables on a OC12/STM4-4 card, repeat Steps 1 and 2 until all SC connectors are in place.
Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-43 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for UPSR Configurations
Note To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the farthest slot to the right represents the east port, and the farthest slot to the left represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug into the west port on an adjacent node.
Note Inspect and clean all fiber connectors thoroughly. See the "NTP-112 Clean Fiber Connectors" procedure on page 15-21 for instructions. Dust particles can degrade performance. Put caps on any fiber connectors that are not used.
Step 1 Plug the fiber into the transmit (Tx) connector of an OC-N card at one node and plug the other end of the fiber into the receive (Rx) connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card will display a signal fail (SF) LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched (one fiber connects a receive port on one card to a receive port on another card, or the same situation with transmit ports).
Step 2 Repeat Step 1 until you have configured the ring.
Figure 2-3 shows fiber connections for a four-node UPSR with trunk cards in Slot 5 (west) and Slot 12 (east).

Step 3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-44 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for BLSR Configurations
Note To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the farthest slot to the right represents the east port, and the farthest slot to the left represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug into the west port on an adjacent node.
Note Inspect and clean all fiber connectors thoroughly. See the "NTP-112 Clean Fiber Connectors" procedure on page 15-21 for instructions. Dust particles can degrade performance. Put caps on any fiber connectors that are not used.
Step 1 Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all BLSR nodes.
Step 2 Plug the fiber into the transmit (Tx) connector of an OC-N card at one node and plug the other end into the receive (Rx) connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card will display a signal fail (SF) LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched.
Note Do not mix working and protect card connections when connecting a four-fiber BLSR. The BLSR will not function if working and protect cards are interconnected. See Figure 2-5 for an example of correct four-fiber BLSR cabling.
Step 3 Repeat Step 2 until you have configured the ring.
Figure 2-4 shows fiber connections for a two-fiber BLSR with trunk cards in Slot 5 (west) and Slot 12 (east).
Figure 2-4 Connecting fiber to a four-node, two-fiber BLSR
Figure 2-5 shows fiber connections for a four-fiber BLSR. Slot 5 (west) and Slot 12 (east) carry the working traffic. Slot 6 (west) and Slot 13 (east) carry the protect traffic.

Step 1 Open the fold-down front door on the cable-management tray.
Step 2 Route the fiber cable on the card faceplate through the fiber clip on the faceplate. Fiber clips are factory-attached to the faceplate of the optical card.
GBICs do not have fiber clips; therefore, if you are routing optical cable from an E1000-2-G, E1000-2, or G1000-4 card, skip to Step 3.
Step 3 Route the fiber cables into the cable-management tray.
Step 4 Route the fiber cables out either side of the cable-management tray through the cutouts on each side of the shelf assembly. Use the reversible fiber guides to route cables out the desired side.
Step 5 Close the fold-down front door when all fiber cables in the front compartment are properly routed.
Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Step 3 Attach the other end of the ground strap to the longer screw on the fiber guide.
a. Attach the lock washer.
b. Attach the terminal lug.
c. Using the open end wrench, attach and tighten the #4 Kepnut (49-0337-01) on the terminal lug.
Note To avoid interference with the traffic (line) card, make sure the ground strap is in a flat position when the door is open. To move the ground strap into a flat position, rotate the terminal lug counterclockwise before tightening the Kepnut.
Step 4 Replace the left cable-routing channel.
Step 5 Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert and tighten the screws for the cable-routing channel.
