3.1 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 Small
Configuration system. This chapter also describes the basic rack configurations for the
FLASHWAVE 7500 Small 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 3.19, Installing Cables
[p. 3-108].
Note: In a Small Configuration, the Optical/Tributary shelf is the 19-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 ring wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) facilities; a Tributary shelf provides client services.
The information contained in the following sections applies to all Small Configuration
applications, including Universal ILA, Express, 40-Ch WSS, 40-Ch 2D-ROADM, 32-Ch
ROADM, and 32-Ch FOADM.
The 2D-ROADM system requires one optical shelf and several tributary shelves.
Before performing the installation procedures, review the following subsections describing
prerequisites, standard rack configurations, and flange kits.
