Chapter 2 Quick Installation Procedures

Installing Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Hardware

To install the module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the dust covers from the module, and clean the optical connectors. See the “Cleaning Optical Connectors” section on page 2-28 .

Caution Wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Step 2 Insert the module carefully into the motherboard slot while guiding the upper and lower edges of the module in the tracks until its connectors come into contact with the backplane connectors. You hear a click when it is connected.

Installing 32-Channel Mux/Demux Modules

This section describes the procedure for installing a 32-channel mux/demux module in the

Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx. One 32-channel terminal mux/demux module can be installed in slot 0 or slot 1 of the chassis.

To install the module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the dust covers from the module, and clean the optical connectors. See the “Cleaning Optical Connectors” section on page 2-28 .

Caution Wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Step 2 Insert the module carefully into the motherboard slot while guiding the upper and lower edges of the module in the tracks until its connectors come into contact with the backplane connectors. You hear a click when it is connected.

Table 2-7lists the LEDs on the mux/demux motherboard with OSC faceplate, their default conditions, and what the conditions indicate.

Note Mux/demux motherboards without OSC have no LEDs.
