Chapter 9 Removal and Replacement Procedures
Removing and Replacing the Optical Bypass Module
Installing the Optical Bypass Module
Step 1 Remove the module filler plate by loosening the two screws.
Step 2 Insert the module into the opening in the panel. There are no guide rails. Do not touch the module
circuitry.
Step 3 Tighten the two captive screws on the module.
Step 4 Connect the cables as described in Cabling the Line Interface Ports: Using the External Optical Bypass
Module, page 6-9.
Replacing the Optical Bypass Module without Disrupting Traffic on the Link
You can replace a malfunctioning SCE8000 GBE platform without disrupting traffic on the link by
removing the optical bypass modules while still connected to the network and installing them into the
new SCE8000 GBE .
Step 1 Install the new SCE8000 GBE platform in the rack. Power up the platform and perform necessary initial
configuration.
Step 2 Disconnect the cables connecting the optical bypass module to the old SCE8000 GBE platform. Do not
disconnect the cables connecting the optical bypass to the subscriber side or network side network
elements.
Step 3 Remove the optical bypass module from the SCE8000 GBE chassis and immediately install it in the new
SCE8000 GBE platform. Alternatively, it can be installed in an external mounting panel elsewhere in
the rack.
Step 4 Connect the cables from the optical bypass module to the line interfaces of the new SCE8000 GBE
platform. See Optical Bypass Module Connectivity, page 6-5.
