Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.

This chapter provides procedures for adding and removing dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) cards and nodes.

Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.

Caution Do not use this procedure to replace a TCC2 or TCC2P card.

---

Step 1 Complete the G46 Log into CTC.

Note If you cannot log into Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) and you need to remove a card, remove the card as described in Step 6. After you log into CTC, troubleshoot the mismatched equipment alarm (MEA) with the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide.

Step 2 Click the Alarms tab.

a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the G128 Disable Alarm Filtering as necessary.

b. Verify that no unexplained alarms appear on the network. If alarms appear, investigate and resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide for procedures.

Step 3 If you are removing and replacing a card, go to Step 5.

Step 4 If you are permanently removing a card, go to Step 11.

Step 5 To remove and replace a card, complete the following tasks, as needed:

• The circuits traversing through the card that needs to be replaced (for example, an amplifier) need to be protection switched. For instance, if the card you want to replace is an active transponder (TXP) or muxponder (MXP) in a Y-cable protection group, complete the G179 Apply a Force Y-Cable or Splitter Protection Switch to force traffic away from the TXP or MXP that you will remove. If the card you want to replace is the standby TXP or MXP in a Y-cable protection group, complete the G182 Apply a Lockout to prevent traffic from switching to the TXP or MXP that you will remove. See the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide for other types of protection switching (path protection, BLSR, optical, and electrical).
• If the card is used as a node timing reference, complete the G112 Change the Node Timing Reference to change the timing reference to a card that will not be removed.
• If the card is an OSCM or OSC-CSM with an optical service channel (OSC) or TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, and OTU2_XP cards with generic communications channel (GCC) termination, complete the G85 Modify or Delete OSC Terminations, DCC/GCC Terminations, and Provisionable Patchcords to delete the termination and recreate it on a card that will not be removed.

Step 6 Physically remove the card:

a. Disconnect any cables.

b. Open the card latches/ejectors.

c. Use the latches/ejectors to pull the card forward and away from the shelf.

Step 7 Insert the new card using one of the following procedures as applicable:

• G30 Install the DWDM Cards
• G179 Install the TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, and OTU2_XP Cards

Step 8 Complete the G34 Install Fiber-Optic Cables on DWDM Cards and DCUs.

Step 9 Complete the following tasks or procedures, as needed:

• If you switched a Y-cable protection group in Step 5, complete the G180 Clear a Manual or Force Y-Cable or Splitter Protection Switch.
• If you deleted circuits in Step 5, complete the G105 Provision Optical Channel Network Connections.
• If you switched the timing reference in Step 5, complete the G112 Change the Node Timing Reference to change the reference back to the new card.
• If you deleted an OSC or GCC termination in Step 5, complete the G38 Provision OSC Terminations or the G76 Provision DCC/GCC Terminations.

Step 10 Go to Step 13.

Step 11 To permanently remove a card, complete the following tasks:

• Delete the circuits associated with the card being removed. Complete the G106 Delete Optical Channel Network Connections, the G347 Delete Optical Channel Client Connections, or the G418 Delete an Optical Channel Trail as needed.
• Delete the DWDM patchcords and optical side associated with the card being removed. Complete the "DLP-Gxxx Delete DWDM Patchcords in CTC" procedure on page yy-yy and the G209 Create, Edit, and Delete Optical Sides.
• If there are pluggable port modules (PPMs) that terminate on the card, complete the G280 Delete a PPM to delete these PPMs.
• Physically remove the card:

– Disconnect and remove any cables, patchcords, and attenuators attached to the card.

– Open the card latches/ejectors.

– Use the latches/ejectors to pull the card forward and away from the shelf.

Step 12 If the card you are removing is an OSCM, OSC-CSM, DWDM Amplifier, or Filter card, complete the following tasks; otherwise, go to Step 13.

• Reconfigure the circuits (OCHCC, OCHNC, Trails) as needed. Complete the G105 Provision Optical Channel Network Connections, the G346 Provision Optical Channel Client Connections, or the G395 Create an Optical Channel Trail.
• Reload ANS provisioning. Complete the G143 Import the Cisco TransportPlanner NE Update Configuration File.
• Relaunch ANS. Complete the G37 Run Automatic Node Setup.

Step 13 Click the Alarms tab.

a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the G128 Disable Alarm Filtering as necessary.

b. Verify that no unexplained alarms appear on the network. If alarms appear, investigate and resolve them. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide for procedures.
