Appendix A The External Optical Bypass Module

Installing the External Bypass Module

Installing the External Bypass Module

Installation of the External Optical Bypass module requires two main steps, which are described in detail in the following sections.

To install the External Optical Bypass module:

Step 1 Install the module in the rack.

Step 2 Cable the module.

Installing the Module in a Rack

The following procedure describes how to install the module in the rack.

Note that, although each module is shipped with its own mounting panel, it is not necessary to install each module in a separate mounting panel. Up to three modules may be installed in one mounting panel.

To install the External Optical Bypass module in a 19" rack, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Using the screws attached to the module, screw it into an empty position in the mounting panel.

Step 2 Secure the module panel to the two front posts of the rack above the SCE 2000 platform. Leave at least 1.5 cm vertical clearance between the SCE 2000 platform and the module panel to provide space for the cables from the front panel of the module to the rear of the SCE 2000 platform.

The module can now be cabled as explained in the next section.

Note If only one or two External Optical Bypass modules are deployed in one panel, the empty third position can be used for transferring the cables, thus saving rack space.
