1.1Installation Overview

You can mount the ONS 15310-MA SDH in a 19-inch (482.6 mm) or 600x600 mm ETSI rack.

The ONS 15310-MA SDH is powered using –48 VDC power. DC power connections are accessed from the rear of the shelf assembly. ONS 15310-MA SDH Ethernet and optical ports are accessible at the front of the shelf assembly, and electrical connections (E1, E3/DS3) are accessible at the rear of the shelf assembly through electrical interface assemblies (EIAs).

When installed in an equipment rack, the ONS 15310-MA SDH assembly is typically connected to a fuse and alarm panel that provides centralized alarm connection points and distributed power for the ONS 15310-MA SDH. Fuse and alarm panels are third-party equipment and are not described in this documentation. If you are unsure about the requirements or specifications for a fuse and alarm panel, consult the documentation for that product.

Note In this chapter, the terms “ONS 15310-MA SDH” and “shelf assembly” are used interchangeably. In the installation context, these terms have the same meaning. Otherwise, shelf assembly refers to the physical steel enclosure that holds cards and connects power, and ONS 15310-MA SDH refers to the entire system, both hardware and software.
