Chapter 2 Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable
NTP-A17 Install the Electrical Cards
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.
Step 3 Use the latches/ejectors to firmly slide the OC-N 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 on page 2-17.
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 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 OC-N 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 Continue with the “NTP-A247 Install Fiber-Optic Cables on OC-N Cards” procedure on page 2-14.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
