Installing the Cisco NCS 2006 Door and Other Modules

This chapter explains how to install the NCS 2006 door and other modules.

The sections are:

Front Door

The front door of NCS 2006 provides access to the shelf, fiber-routing tray, fan-tray assembly, and LCD screen.

There are two types of front doors that act as protective panels—standard door and deep door. The deep door provides additional space in front of the shelf to accommodate cables that do not fit inside the standard door. The deep door does not have a hinge and cannot be rotated like the standard door.

If a standard front door was ordered, the NCS 2006 is shipped with a preinstalled standard door. If a deep door was ordered, a temporary front door is preinstalled on the shelf and the deep door ies present in a separate package. If no door was ordered, a temporary front door is preinstalled on the shelf.


Note
The temporary door is used only for shipping purpose and must not be used in the chassis. The temporary door can be opened by removing the tape that is present on top of the door.

You must remove the door before proceeding with the shelf installation.

The NCS 2006 door can be opened by loosening the front screws and pushing the latch in the opposite direction. You can remove the front door to provide unrestricted access to the front of the shelf.

The laser warning label is placed on top of the chassis.

The figure below shows the NCS 2006 laser warning.

You can upgrade to the NCS2006 ECU60-S from an older ECU (ECU/ECU-2/ECU-S) in the NCS 2006 shelf. For more information, see NTP-L66 Upgrading to NCS 2006 ECU60-S Module.

Alarm Connectors

The NCS 2006 ECU and ECU-S modules have two SCSI alarm connectors that are used to connect NCS 2006 to support external alarms. The alarm connectors provide dry alarm contacts and are similar to the AIC-I card of the ONS 15454 M12. shelf. The left alarm connector is used for TNC and TNCE relay contact, including Alarm Cut Off (ACO) signal and Digital Input/Output (D-I/O) signals. The right alarm connector is used for Digital Input/Output (D-I/O) signals. To export alarms from the NCS 2006 shelf to a third party device, use the output pins of either the right alarm connector or the left alarm connector.

When external controls are not provisioned, 14 external input alarms are available. Input alarm 11 and input alarm 12 are available on the left side connector; input alarm 13 and input alarm 14 are available on the right side connector.

When external controls are provisioned, only 10 external input alarms are available.


Note
In a multishelf configuration, alarms on the subtended shelves cannot be extended through the node controller.

See Table 6-2 and Table 6-3 for pin details of the alarm connectors.


Note
ECU60-S does not support alarm connections.

Passive Unit Inventory Interfaces

The passive unit inventory interfaces (USB ports) are used to retrieve inventory information from passive devices such as fiber trays, FBG DCU, patch panels, passive multiplexer or demultiplexer, and so on. There are 12 USB ports on the NCS 2006 ECU module. The inventory details are displayed in the Inventory tab in CTC.

The USB 3.0 port delivers power to the NCS2K-MF-6RU or the NCS2K-MF10-6RU unit when they are connected to the NCS 2006 ECU-S.


Note
The 12 passive inventory ports on the NCS 2006 ECU module are labeled 1 to 12. However, CTC represents the passive inventory ports as USBP_SIDE_PORT, where SIDE can be A or B, and PORT can be any value from 1 to 12. For example, Port 1 on the left side of the ECU module is represented as USBP_A_1 and Port 1 on the right side of the NCS 2006 ECU module is represented as USBP_B_ 1. The left side of the NCS 2006 ECU module is Side A and the right side of the NCS 2006 ECU module is Side B.

Note
The 8 passive inventory USB 2.0 ports on the NCS 2006 ECU-S module are labeled 1 through 4 and 7 through 10. The USB 3.0 port on the left of the faceplate is detected as A5. The USB 3.0 port on the left of the faceplate is detected as B5. However, CTC represents the passive inventory ports as USBP_SIDE_PORT, where SIDE can be A or B, and PORT can be any value from 1 to 5. For example, Port 1 on the left side of the ECU-S module is represented as USBP_A_1 and Port 1 on the right side of the NCS 2006 ECU-S module is represented as USBP_B_ 1. The left side of the NCS 2006 ECU-S module is Side A and the right side of the NCS 2006 ECU-S module is Side B.

VoIP or UDC

VoIP or UDC is an RJ45 port that can be configured to support UDC or VoIP service on an NCS 2006 shelf. There are two VoIP or UDC ports on the NCS 2006 ECU and ECU-S modules. The VoIP or UDC port on the left side is connected to the TNC or TNCE card in Slot 1 and the port on the right side is connected to the TNC or TNCE card in Slot 8. The VoIP or UDC port also supports Power over Ethernet for connecting VoIP equipments.


Note
POE functionality is not available for the VOIP ports of ECU60-S.

MSM

The multishelf management (MSM) port is an RJ-45 port that is used to connect the NCS 2006 shelf to other NCS 2006 or NCS 2006 shelves that are a part of the multishelf configuration. There are six MSM ports on the NCS 2006 ECU and ECU-S modules—three ports on the left side and three ports on the right side. The MSM ports on the left side correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 1, and those on the right side correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 8. Three MSM ports are used as working ports, and the remaining three are used as standby ports.

Timing Connections

The NCS 2006 ECU and ECU-S modules have four Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) connections that support both ETSI and ANSI connections. There are two BITS-IN and two BITS-OUT connections that can either be SMB connectors for ETSI connection or wire-wrap pins for ANSI connection, based on customer requirements. The BITS-IN ports receive input from third-party external sources called Synchronization Supply Unit (SSU) to synchronize the timing of the NCS 2006 shelf. The BITS-OUT ports provide output to external devices (other Cisco or third-party shelves) to synchronize the timing signals with the NCS 2006 shelf.


Note
For timing connection, use 100 ohm shielded BITS clock cable pair #22 or #24 AWG (0.51 mm² [0.020 inch] or 0.64 mm² [0.0252 inch]), twisted-pair T1-type.

Note
See Telcordia SR-NWT-002224 for rules about provisioning timing references.

Power Modules

The NCS 2006 system contains pluggable and redundant power modules for AC and DC power. The AC and DC power modules cannot be used simultaneously to power the NCS 2006 system. Before installing the power module, verify the position of the mechanical locking system on the rear side of the chassis. To insert the AC power module, the screw must be close to the AC silk-screen text; to insert the DC power module the screw must be close to the DC silk-screen text.

AC Power Module

The NCS 2006 system can be powered by redundant AC power lines

The AC power module converts the AC-input current to DC-output current. There are two separate AC power modules, however a single AC power module can power the entire NCS 2006 system.

Each AC power module has one AC single-phase 3 poles (line L, Neutral N, and Protective Earth PE) input connector.

The AC power module has a dual color (red and green) LED on the faceplate. When the AC power line is not connected, the LED is OFF. Green LED indicates that the AC power line is connected and the power module is functioning properly. Red LED indicates that the AC power line is connected but an alarm is present due to a secondary fuse break (48 V DC) or AC module fan failure. The shelf controller card controls the conditions that result in triggering the LEDs. The LED can be overwritten by the shelf controller card (TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE) in all the three states (OFF/red/green). The AC power module supports the lamp test procedure. The AC power module has fans that are directly powered by the module. The fans cool the module and guarantees proper operation across the complete operating temperature or output power range. These fans contain replaceable air-filters

DC Power Module

The NCS 2006 system can be powered by redundant DC power modules or a single DC power module. The supported DC power modules on the NCS 2006 shelf are NCS2006-DC, NCS2006-DC20, and NCS2006-DC40. The DC power module draws power from the batteries to turn on the NCS 2006 shelf.


Note
When the NCS 2006 shelf is powered at –60 VDC (nominal), only the TNC, OPT-AMP-C, OPT-AMP-17-C, OPT-EDFA-17, OPT-EDFA-24, 17 SMR9 FS, 24 SMR9 FS, 34 SMR9 FS, SMR20 FS, SMR20 FS CV, 12-AD-FS, 16-AD-FS, 100GS-CK-LC, and MR-MXP cards, and the NCS2006-ECU-60 can be installed.

The NCS2006-DC40 power module is required to accommodate up to four 100GS-CK-LC cards in a NCS 2006 shelf.

For the NCS2006-DC20 power module, the power consumption of the NCS 2006 shelf (including ancillaries, controller cards, and line cards) is limited to 960 W. A new line card will not boot up when it is installed in the NCS 2006 shelf, if it causes the power consumption of the shelf to exceed 960 W. The PWR-CON-LMT alarm is raised in the Alarms tab in CTC when the installation or pre-provisioning of a card causes the power consumption to exceed the limit of 960 W.

For the NCS2006-DC40 power module, the power consumption of the NCS 2006 shelf (including ancillaries, controller cards, and line cards) is limited to 1920 W. A new line card will not boot up when it is installed in the NCS 2006 shelf, if it causes the power consumption of the shelf to exceed 1920 W. The PWR-CON-LMT alarm is raised in the Alarms tab in CTC when the installation or pre-provisioning of a card causes the power consumption to exceed the limit of 1920 W.


Note
The total power consumption of the shelf is calculated by the controller card and displayed in CTC in the Provisioning > Power Monitor tab. For details about power calculation, see the .

Each DC power module has:

  • One input battery connector (three poles) —VBAT, VRET, and FGnd for ETSI installation
  • Terminal block connector with VBAT and VRET for installation

The DC power module has a dual color (red and green) LED on the faceplate. When the battery is not connected, the LED is OFF. Green LED indicates that the battery is connected and the power module functions properly. Red LED indicates that the battery is connected but an alarm is present due to secondary fuse break (48 V). The DC power module does not support the lamp test procedure.

Changing the DC Power Module

It is possible to change the power modules from NCS2006-DC20 to NCS2006-DC and vice-versa, without powering down the NCS 2006 system. While changing the power modules, ensure that only one power module is replaced at a time and the other power module continues to supply power to the shelf. However, during regular operation of the node, the NCS 2006 shelf must have the NCS2006-DC20, NCS2006-DC, or NCS2006-DC40 power module. See DLP-L16 Replacing NCS2006-DC With NCS2006-DC20 Power Module and DLP-L17 Replacing NCS2006-DC20 With NCS2006-DC Power Module for changing the power modules.

Power Filler Module

For redundant power supplies, two AC or DC power modules can be installed in Slot A and Slot B of the NS 2006 shelf. However, only one power module can sustain the functioning of the entire NCS 2006 system. In that case, insert a power filler module in the empty slot.

LCD Unit

The LCD unit consists of an LCD display panel, push button, and shelf-level LED indicators on the NCS 2006 system. A backup flash memory is fitted into the LCD unit to support the database (DB) and image backup in the operation of the NCS 2006.

The shelf controller card (TSC, TSCE, TNC, or TNCE) powers the 16 x 2 character LCD screen. The LCD screen displays the shelf name, shelf IP address, and software version currently used. The LCD screen also provides slot-level and port-level information of all card slots, including the number of critical, major, and minor alarms. The display contrast is automatically adjusted for a clearer view. The three accessible push buttons (SLOT, STATUS, and PORT) on the LCD unit are used to set parameters at the slot-level and port-level. There are three alarm LEDs (CRIT, MAJ, and MIN) on the LCD unit that indicate whether a critical, major, or minor alarm is present anywhere on the NCS 2006 shelf. The shelf controller card controls the conditions that result in triggering the LEDs. The LEDs can be overwritten by the shelf controller card (TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE) in all the three states (OFF/red/green). The LCD unit supports the lamp test procedure and the LEDs changes its color or state.


Note
If the LCD unit is removed from the shelf, wait for at least 5 seconds before plugging it back into the shelf. In the event the LCD display appears blank, remove the unit from the shelf, wait for at least 5 seconds and reinsert the unit into the shelf.

The LCD module must be present in the NCS 2006 shelf to:

Fan-Tray Assembly

The fan-tray supported on the NCS 2006 shelf is NCS2006-FTA.

The fan-tray assembly is located on the left side of the NCS 2006 shelf. The fan-tray is removable and holds the fan-control circuitry and the fans for the NCS 2006 shelf. It has a single dual-color LED on the faceplate. When the fan-tray assembly is not functioning or when the power line is not connected, the LED is OFF. When the power line is connected and if there is no TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card installed in the NCS2006 shelf, then the LED is OFF. A red LED indicates an alarm in the fan-tray assembly. A green LED indicates that the fan-tray assembly is functioning, the power line is connected, and the power module is functioning properly. The shelf controller card controls the conditions that result in triggering the LEDs. The LED can be overwritten by the shelf controller card (TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE) in all the three states (OFF/red/green). The fan-tray assembly supports the lamp test procedure. After you install the fan tray, you should only access it if a fan failure occurs.

Fan Speed

The fan speed is controlled by the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card temperature sensors. The sensors measure the input air temperature at the fan-tray assembly. Fan speed options are low, medium, and high. If the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card fails, the fans automatically shift to high speed. The temperature that the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE sensors measure appear on the LCD screen.

Fan Failure

If one or more fans fail on the fan-tray assembly, replace the entire assembly. You cannot replace individual fans. The red Fan Fail LED on the front of the fan-tray illuminates when one or more fans fail. The red Fan Fail LED clears after you install a working fan-tray.
