A heat baffle is required for each Optical/Tributary shelf and must be installed directly above
the shelf.
Note: The FLASHWAVE 7500 shelves do not have front covers because of front-access fiber
cabling.
Note: Figures 2-13 [p. 2-25] and 2-14 [p. 2-26] are shown fully populated for instructional
purposes. At installation, the shelves do not have plug-in units installed. The shelves are not
populated until system turn-up.
Note: The LAS1 should be mounted in the rack that best facilitates the fiber management of the
MPO-to-MPO cabling from the Optical shelf at the time of installation. The LAS1 contains only
passive components and does not require any power connections.
Do not attempt to handle and install the shelves without sufficient assistance. The
Optical/Tributary shelf weighs approximately 95 lb (43.0 kg) empty (without fans).
Equipped, the Optical/Tributary shelf weighs significantly more. Handling the equipment
without sufficient assistance may result in personal injury, damage to the equipment, or
both.
Do not use the internal walls of any shelf as a lifting point or lift support. Doing so may
damage the plug-in unit rail support.
Do not compromise the stability of the rack when installing this equipment. Unstable racks
can fall resulting in equipment damage.
1 If not already done, remove the shelf and heat baffle from the shipping container.
2 Ensure that all plug-in units are removed from the shelf.
Note: Do not remove filler panels.
3 Secure the shelf to the rack using five screw slots on each side of the shelf as shown in
Figure 2-16 [p. 2-29].
