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.

NTP-A16 Install Optical Cards and Connectors

Purpose	This procedure describes how to install optical cards (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192, and MRC-12). The 15454_MRC-12 (multirate), OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach, and OC192/STM64 Any Reach (known in CTC as OC192-XFP) cards require small form-factor pluggables (SFPs/XFPs) to provide the fiber interface to the cards. On all other optical cards, the fiber is plugged directly into the card. Install according to site plan, if available.
Tools/Equipment	OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192, and MRC-12 cards (as applicable)
Prerequisite Procedures	A15 Install the Common Control Cards
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite
Security Level	None

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. Statement 94

Warning Class I (CDRH) and Class 1M (IEC) laser products. Statement 1055

Warning Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not stare into the beam 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 could pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056

Warning Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057

The following warning only applies to OC-192 cards with safety keys.

Warning The laser is on when the card is booted and the safety key is in the on position (labeled 1). The port does not have to be in service for the laser to be on. The laser is off when the safety key is off (labeled 0). Statement 293

---

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 protective clips are installed on the backplane connectors of the cards, remove the clips before installing the cards.

---

---

Note To simplify path protection to bidirectional line switched ring (BLSR) conversion and node addition, install optical cards according to a high-speed east (Slots 12 and 13) and west (Slots 5 and 6) configuration. This configuration is not mandatory.

---

---

Note During the boot process, an Out-of-Service (OOS) OC-N port will output a Line Alarm Indication Signal (AIS-L) to any In-Service (IS) far-end receivers. See the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for further information about the AIS-L condition.

---

---

Step 1 If you installed XCVT cards, review Table 2-1 to determine card/slot compatibility. If you installed XC10G or XC-VXC-10G 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.

---

Note "OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach" and "OC192/STM64 Any Reach" are the titles that appear on the faceplates of the OC192-XFP cards. In CTC, the cards are abbreviated as "OC192-XFP."

---

Before installing an MRC-12 card, review Table 2-3 for bandwidth limitations based on the slot where the card is installed and the type of cross-connect card installed in the shelf.

Table 2-3 Maximum Bandwidth by Shelf Slot for the MRC-12 in Different XC Configurations 

XC Card Type	Maximum Bandwidth in Slots 1 through 4 and 12 through 17	Maximum Bandwidth in Slots 5, 6, 12, or 13
XCVT	OC-12	OC-48
XC10G/XC-VXC-10G	OC-48	OC-192

Refer to the card's reference section in the "Optical Cards" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual for more information about slot and bandwidth restrictions.

Step 2 Open the card latches/ejectors.

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. If you install a card incorrectly, the FAIL LED flashes continuously.

---

Note If you install the wrong card in a slot, complete the "NTP-A116 Remove and Replace a Card" procedure.

---

Step 4 Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the latches/ejectors on the card. 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:

•The red FAIL LED turns on for 20 to 30 seconds.

•The red FAIL LED blinks for 35 to 45 seconds.

•All LEDs blink once and turn off for 5 to 10 seconds.

•The ACT or ACT/STBY LED becomes amber. 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 mimic 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 might not boot. If an optical card does not boot, open CTC and ensure that the slot is not provisioned for a different card type before assuming the card is faulty.

•If the red FAIL LED does not turn on, 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 on continuously or the LEDs behave erratically, the card is not installed properly. Remove the card and repeat Steps 2 to 5.

Step 7 The MRC-12 card requires SFPs and the OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach and OC192/STM64 Any Reach (OC192-XFP) cards require XFPs to provide a fiber interface. If you installed any of these cards, complete the "DLP-A469 Install a GBIC or SFP/XFP Device" task. If you want to preprovision the SFPs or XFPs before installing them, complete the "DLP-A461 Preprovision an SFP or XFP Device" task.

Step 8 When you are ready to install fiber, continue with the "NTP-A247 Install Fiber-Optic Cables" procedure.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

---

Caution Do not install low-density DS-1 cards in the same side of the shelf as DS3/EC1-48 cards.

---

---

Caution Do not install a DS3/EC1-48 card in Slots 1 or 2 if you have installed an MXP_2.5G_10G card in Slot 3. Likewise, do not install a DS3/EC1-48 in Slots 16 or 17 if you have installed an MXP_2.5G_10G card in Slot 15. If you do, the cards will interact and cause DS-3 bit errors.

---

---

Note If protective clips are installed on the backplane connectors of the cards, remove the clips before installing the cards.

---

---

Note Install higher-capacity cards first; for example, install a DS-3 card before installing a DS-1 card. Let each card boot completely before installing the next card.

---

---

Note If you are installing OC-N, transponder (TXP), or muxponder (MXP) cards, Cisco recommends that you install these before you install electrical cards, as applicable.

---

---

Step 1 If you installed XC or XCVT cards, review Table 2-1 to determine card/slot compatibility. If you installed XC10G or XC-VXC-10G cards, review Table 2-2 to determine card/slot compatibility.

Step 2 Open the card latches/ejectors.

Step 3 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.

---

Note If you install the wrong card in a slot, complete the "NTP-A116 Remove and Replace a Card" procedure.

---

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:

•The red FAIL LED turns on for 10 to 15 seconds.

•The red FAIL LED blinks for 30 to 40 seconds.

•All LEDs blink once and turn off for 1 to 5 seconds.

•The ACT or ACT/STBY LED turns on. The 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 mimic Step 5, check the following:

•If the red FAIL LED does not turn on, 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 on continuously or the LEDs behave erratically, the card is not installed properly. Remove the card and repeat Steps 2 to 5.

NTP-A316 Install the Filler Cards

Purpose	This procedure explains how to install the filler cards in any unused traffic or AIC-I card slots (Slots 1 through 6, 9, and 12 through 17). A filler card consists of a card with a faceplate attached. Note There are two types of filler cards. One is not detectable by CTC and has no label on its faceplate. The other is detectable by CTC and has the label FILLER on its faceplate. Filler cards aid in maintaining proper air flow and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements. The detectable filler cards are detected by CTC in starting in R6.0.
Tools/Equipment	Filler cards Cisco P/N 15454-FILLER (detectable) Cisco P/N 15454-BLANK (non-detectable)
Prerequisite Procedures	A15 Install the Common Control Cards A16 Install Optical Cards and Connectors A17 Install the Electrical Cards A246 Install Ethernet Cards and Connectors A274 Install the FC_MR-4 Card
