1.11.4 Optical Card Cable Routing
The ONS 15600 has a cable-management tray with discrete fiber routing paths for each optical card’s
cables. Each fiber routing path has a plastic cable latch for securing the cables in the fiber routing path.
You can rotate the cable latch into two positions, open or closed; make sure that the cable latch is always
completely open before you insert or remove the optical cables. Make sure all fiber-optic cables are
disconnected from a card before you remove it.
1.11.5 Card Replacement
To replace an ONS 15600 card with another card of the same type, you do not need to make any changes
to the database; remove the old card and replace it with a new card. You can use the CTC Change Card
feature to replace a card with a new card while maintaining all existing provisioning. To replace a card
with a card of a different type, delete the original card from CTC, physically remove the card, and replace
it with the new card.
Caution
Removing any active/working card from the ONS 15600 can result in traffic interruption. Use caution
when replacing cards and verify that only inactive or standby cards are being replaced. If the active card
needs to be replaced, switch it to stand by prior to removing the card from the node.
