Installing MDAs
Warnings and Notes
Warning:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if SF/CPMs, IOMs, or MDAs are
mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and always connect an
ESD strap to the grounding plug on the front of the chassis.
• Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture ports of an MDA when no cable
is connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare into open apertures.
• Always place components on an anti-static surface.
• Do not power up a 7450 ESS-7 until all components are installed and verified.
• Use only approved small form factor pluggable GBIC fiber optic devices in MDA ports.
Notes:
General:
• Ports cannot be provisioned if the MDA is not preprovisioned.
• Services cannot be provisioned if ports are not provisioned.
• MDAs can be installed on an IOM two ways:
→ Install MDAs on the IOM and then load the unit into the chassis slot. See Installing
an MDA on an IOM on page 103.
→ Install MDAs after the IOM is loaded in the chassis slot. See Installing an MDA on
a Chassis-Installed IOM on page 105.
• For configuration purposes, MDA slots are number 1 (left slot) and 2 (right slot).
