2.1 Overview
This chapter provides prerequisites and procedures for installing a rack and installing or
connecting the shelves, plug-in units, and cables that make up the FLASHWAVE® 7500 Core
Configuration system. This chapter also describes the basic rack configurations for the
FLASHWAVE 7500 Core Configuration system. Additionally, this chapter describes the
backplane of the FLASHWAVE 7500 Optical/Tributary shelf. Procedures for attaching cables
to the Optical/Tributary shelf backplane are provided in Section 2.13, Installing Cables
[p. 2-60].
Note: In a Core Configuration, the Optical/Tributary shelf is the 23-inch Universal shelf. The
name of a specific shelf depends on its function (determined by the connections to its backplane
and the plug-in units installed). An Optical shelf supports the main wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) facilities; a Tributary shelf provides client services. In layouts with two to six
Optical shelves, the main shelf is called the Main Optical shelf, and the other shelves are called
the Auxiliary Optical shelves.
The information contained in the following sections applies to all Core Configuration
applications, including Universal ILA, Express, and 2D-ROADM.
Before performing the installation procedures, review the following subsections describing
prerequisites, standard rack configurations, and flange kits.
