Chapter 2 Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable
NTP- A16 Install Optical Cards and Connectors
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 protectionto 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 on page 2-3 to determine card/slot compatibility. If you
installed XC10G or XC-VXC-10G cards, review Table 2-2 on page 2-5 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 a 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.
Before installing a MRC-2.5G-4 card, review Table 2-4 for bandwidth limitations based on the slot
where the card is installed and the type of cross-connect card installed in the shelf. .
