Revision History of This Manual

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONSTo avoid injury to personnel and/or damage to the equipment, the following precautions must be adheredto, as well as the safety procedures established by the organization in which the system is installed.

The general safety precautions discussed include:

! General Warnings and Cautions! Voltage Precaution! Laser Precautions! Lift Precautions! Static Electricity Precautions! Optical Fiber Handling Precautions! Fiber Break and Damaged Fiber Precautions! Precautions for Handling and Storing Modules! Traffic Disruption Precaution

General Warnings and CautionsThroughout this manual, danger and caution notices are provided in procedures as appropriate. Thesenotices emphasize the safety considerations that should be followed to minimize the potential for personalinjury and/or equipment damage.

Voltage Precaution

A voltage of -48 volts DC is present in the CoreDirector Switch as a power source for normal equipmentoperation. Depending on the facility, a voltage of either 120 or 230 volts AC is also present for testequipment, tools, and lighting. Personnel should exercise safety precautions when connecting, measuring,and disconnecting all voltage supply lines.

Observe the following precautions to avoid voltage shock:

! Never use both hands when working on or near a voltage source.! Use the buddy system when working around voltage sources.! Ensure that rescue and first aid equipment is available and accessible.! Remove watches, rings, necklaces, and other conductive devices that might come in contact

with live voltages.! Before activating circuits, ensure that other personnel are not in contact with voltage sources.! Deactivate power whenever possible before performing maintenance on system components.

Table 2. Revision Log

Revision Release Impact001 October 2004 Initial releaseA January 2005 First formal release

Warning:RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY

Negative 48 volts DC is present in the equipment. Contact can cause personal injury. Take appropriate safety precautions.

NA and ETSI Rack Packages Hardware Installation ManualJanuary 3, 2005 - Revision A009-2004-188 xix



Laser Precautions

The CoreDirector Switch uses infrared light energy to interface the modules in the system with the externalfiber plant and client equipment. The transmission of infrared light energy between the fiber plant and clientequipment is performed by fiber cables. The infrared light energy used in Ciena products falls within theinvisible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, and this energy is of sufficient magnitude to cause eyeinjury with indirect exposure and/or skin injury with direct exposure. When working with Ciena equipment,the following general laser precautions must be observed.

! Ensure that all operators and technicians have satisfactorily completed an approved trainingcourse before they work on the system.

! Never permit unauthorized or untrained personnel to perform service, maintenance, orrestoration.

! Exclude all unauthorized personnel from the immediate area of lightwave transmission systemsduring installation and service.

! Never disconnect a lightwave cable or look into the optical connector.! Be careful to avoid indirect eye exposure or direct skin exposure to unprotected optical

connectors.! Wear laser safety goggles whenever in close proximity to lasers.! Install protective covers/caps on all optical connectors when they are not in use.! Because laser energy is invisible, always assume that exposed optical connectors and cables

are energized.! Before cleaning a fiber or connector, always make an optical power measurement and/or visual

inspection to ensure that the fiber is not energized.! Never view an optical fiber with a direct magnification fiber scope without verifying that all

lightwave sources on the fiber are turned off.

Lift Precautions

When lifting or handling materials manually, use only methods that ensure personal safety and protectionof the material. Never attempt to lift objects that are too bulky or heavy to handle safely. Whenever possible,push loads instead of pulling them. Pushing uses the strong leg muscles, whereas pulling uses the backmuscles, which can be easily strained.

Observe the following precautions when lifting an object:

! Before lifting the load, inspect the route over which the load will be carried for obstructions orspills that could cause slipping or tripping.

! Inspect the load for sharp edges before lifting.! Identify good handholds on the load; these handholds must be able to support the full weight of

the object.

Warning:LASER RADIATION EXPOSURE

Laser emissions may cause eye damage. Never look directly into fiber connectors. Always assume that laser radiation is present even when equipment is turned off.

Warning:LIFT WARNING

The equipment is heavy. Unassisted or improper lifting techniques can cause personal injury. Take appropriate safety precautions.


xx 009-2004-188Ciena® Confidential and Proprietary


! Avoid twisting or bending when lifting, and carry the load close to the body.! When team-lifting, ensure that the load is raised at the same rate and that it rides level to ensure

that each person carries equal weight.

Static Electricity Precautions

A damaging static electrical charge can be generated by the rubbing and sliding of materials against eachother. Different materials have different potentials of generating and holding a static electric charge. Plasticmaterials similar to nylon and polyester are capable of generating and holding a potentially large damagingstatic electricity charge. Materials similar to cotton do not typically have the potential to generate and holda charge. The buildup of static electricity can be of a sufficient potential to damage electronic circuitry. Whenworking on Ciena equipment or any interconnecting electrical/optical cabling, always wear an approvedpersonnel ground device.

Industry experience has shown that all devices containing integrated circuits can be damaged by staticelectricity that builds up on work surfaces and personnel. The effect of ESD damage may be immediatefailure or it may manifest itself as a latent failure affecting the reliability of the equipment.

The static charges and discharges are produced by various charging effects of movement and contact withother objects. Dry air allows greater static charges to accumulate on a body.

Observe the following precautions to avoid static charges and discharges:

! Assume that all modules contain solid state electronic components that can be damaged byESD.

! When handling modules (that is, storing, installing, removing, and so forth) or when working onthe backplane, always wear a grounded wrist strap or wear a heel strap and stand on agrounded, static-dissipating floor mat.

! Handle all modules by the faceplate or latch and by the top and bottom outermost edges. Nevertouch the components, conductors, or connector pins.

! Observe all warning labels on bags and cartons.! If possible, do not remove modules from antistatic packaging until they are ready for use.! If possible, open all module packaging at a static-safe work station using properly grounded wrist

straps and static-dissipating table mats.! Always store and transport modules in static-safe packaging.! Keep all static-generating material, such as food wrappers, plastics, and styrofoam containers,

away from all modules.! When removing modules from an enclosure, immediately place them in static-safe packages.! Whenever possible, maintain relative humidity above 20 percent.

Optical Fiber Handling Precautions When handling or connecting optical fibers, observe the following precautions:

! Always wear safety glasses when handling fibers.! After handling optical fibers, wash hands to avoid possible eye injuries caused by invisible fiber

fragments on the skin.

Caution:Risk of Damage to Circuit Packs and Backplanes

This equipment contains Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Wear grounding straps when handling equipment and follow ESD procedures.

NA and ETSI Rack Packages Hardware Installation ManualJanuary 3, 2005 - Revision A009-2004-188 xxi



! Avoid indirect eye or direct skin exposure to the ends of optical connectors and fibers, becauselaser energy may be present.

! Install protective covers or caps on all fiber optical connectors when they are not in use.

Fiber Break and Damaged Fiber PrecautionsIf a fiber break occurs or a damaged fiber is seen, observe the following precautions:

! Power off all laser sources to the fiber or disconnect the fiber end from the laser source.! Notify the facility manager or supervisor about the damaged or broken fiber.! Identify where the fiber is damaged or broken.! Be careful when handling damaged or broken optical fibers to avoid eye injuries caused by

invisible fiber fragments.

Precautions for Handling and Storing Modules

When handling, installing, or removing modules, observe the following precautions.

! Wear wrist straps or other suitable ESD-grounding devices before touching and/or removing amodule from the equipment shelf or ESD-protective packaging.

! Handle modules by the faceplate only and do not touch the components, printed circuit board, orconnector contacts.

! Ensure the protective covers or caps are installed on all optical connectors when the connectorsare not in use.

! Ensure the backplane protective covers or caps are removed from the modules before installingthem in equipment shelves.

! Store all modules in suitable ESD-protective packaging when they are not installed in anequipment shelf.

! Do not stack modules directly on or against each other.! Store all modules in the original protective packaging container. Do not stack modules without

the use of the original protective packaging containers.Modules must be maintained at all times within the environmental parameters provided in the TelcordiaGeneric Requirements document references listed in Table 3.


Remove all optical connector dust caps from modules and backplane before installing modules.

STEP 3: If possible, remove the marked floor tiles and place them in an appropriate location for drilling and cutting.

Note:If drilling and sawing must occur in place, take precautions to cover all cables and equipment that will be affected by shavings, and notify the site technician to disarm the Halon detectors if required.

Front Edge of Cabinet NOTE: All dimensions arein millimeters.




STEP 4: Cut or drill holes as needed at each marked location on the floor tiles.

STEP 5: Remove burrs from all holes.

STEP 6: Install protective edging around all holes in floor tiles through which power, ground, or fiber cables will pass.

STEP 7: Set the floor tiles back in place if they were moved.

STEP 8: Install the anchor bolts in the concrete subfloor as follows:

a. Using the holes drilled in the floor tiles, identify the locations of the four anchor bolts on the concrete subfloor and mark the floor.

b. Move the floor tiles aside.

c. Drill a hole at each marked location in the concrete to accommodate the expansion anchors.

d. Use the HEPA filter-equipped vacuum and a blow bulb to remove any dust or dirt from the drilled holes.

e. Install anchors in the four holes and set the anchors as directed in the manufacturer specifications.

f. Replace the floor tiles.

Installing Additional BracingAdditional bracing may be required to meet local seismic safety requirements. The Installation Specificationprovides information about seismic requirements. The information that follows provides guidelines forinstallations in different seismic zones.

SEISMIC ZONES 0 - 2AIf additional bracing is required under the floor, the user cuts U-channel bracing to length, ensuring thatthere are no sharp edges on the ends.

The following guidelines are provided to fasten network and unequal flange duct framework to a raised floor.

! Place a 1-5/8 x 1-5/8 U-channel under the stringers with the continuous slot facing down.

! To prevent the U-channel from spreading when it is compressed, use clips covering the free endsof the U-channel through which the threaded rod goes.

! Use end caps on the U-channel to prevent injury.

! Use hold-down plates engineered for that frame.

Note: Use the HEPA filter-equipped vacuum to remove dust during drilling or sawing.

Note: Ensure there is adequate clearance for cables and fiber to pass through the holes in the floor tile without chafing.

Note:If the system rack will be anchored to the concrete subfloor, proceed to Step 8; otherwise, proceed to the steps under “Removing the Casters from the NA Rack Package” on page 7 or “Removing the Casters from the ETSI Rack Package” on page 9.




! Use a threaded rod, nut, washer, insulating bushing, and hold-down washer in the base of theframe.

! Use a clip, washer, lock washer, and nut on the bottom of the U-channel.

! Ensure that the U-channel does not extend more than 4 inches (10.2 centimeters) past the edgeof the stringers; otherwise, the U-channel will block access under the floor.

! Torque the nut to no more than 30 foot-pounds (40.7 meter-newtons). (Refer to the manufacturerspecifications.) Over-tightening may cause the tile to become deformed and be uneven with thesurrounding tiles.

! U-channel bracing must be aligned so that all mounting holes in the floor tiles are directly abovethe lines of the bracing. This requires that the U-channel be mounted perpendicularly to the faceof the CoreDirector CI rack, extending 2 inches (5.1 centimeters) beyond the rack front and rearraised floor cross-member supports that are outside the footprint of the rack.

SEISMIC ZONES 2B - 4In seismic zones 2B and higher, a U-channel is not used. Instead, the cabinet is anchored at all four cornersusing threaded rods that run down to seismic anchors with coupling nuts from the concrete floor.

The threaded rods must not be over-tightened. Over-tightening may cause the floor tile to become deformedand be uneven with the surrounding tiles.

Removing the CastersThe CoreDirector CI NA Rack and ETSI Rack can be shipped on a Dolly Assembly (Figure 5-4) or on aCaster Assembly (Figure 5-5). Determine if the CoreDirector CI NA Rack and ETSI Rack is on a DollyAssembly or a Caster Assembly and use the following procedures as appropriate to remove rack the fromthe Dolly Assembly or Caster Assembly:

CoreDirector CI Switch Routing BITS Cables9

CHAPTER 9ROUTING BITS CABLES

OVERVIEW

This chapter contains the following three procedures:

! Performing continuity tests on the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) (T1) BuildingIntegrated Timing Supply (BITS) cables (RJ-45) (page 9-3)

! Performing continuity tests on the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) (E1) BITS cables (BNC)(page 9-4)

! Routing the BITS cables from the site timing point to the CoreDirector CI Switch (page 9-5)

Because of the variety of cable management systems, this procedure describes how to route BITS cablesin common terms.

The flowchart in Figure 9-1 summarizes the steps for routing and connecting BITS cables to theCoreDirector CI Switch.

Note:

An interoperability issue exists with the Datum OT-21 external timing source and the E1 Input/Output (I/O) module with Synchronization Status Messaging (SSM) enabled. If the customer site has the Datum OT-21 timing source, the CoreDirector CI system must be connected to the timing source through a T1 I/O panel.

Note:

The CoreDirector CI rack is shipped with the fiber management panel above the switch chassis. If the customer requires that the fiber management panel be moved to a rack position below the switch chassis, this must be done before routing the BITS cables. For instructions to move the fiber management panel, refer to Chapter 6, Moving the Fiber Management Panel.

TESTING THE SONET (T1) RJ-45 BITS CABLES FOR CONTINUITYEach SONET (T1) RJ-45 BITS cable is tested for continuity before the BITS cables are routed to theCoreDirector CI rack from the site timing point.

To test a SONET (T1) BITS cable, the following steps are performed.

STEP 1: Prepare the multimeter as follows:

a. Turn on the multimeter and set it to the ohm setting at the highest range.

b. Touch the leads together to verify that the meter is working properly. The multimeter should indicate 0 ohms to indicate continuity.

STEP 2: Identify the wire colors associated with the pins and record the colors in Table 9-1. Refer to Figure 9-2 for the pin locations.

Figure 9-2. SONET BITS Cable Pin-out (T1 RJ-45)

STEP 3: Working on the end of the cable that does not have the RJ-45 connector, expose the wires by removing a small amount of sheathing.

STEP 4: Place one lead on pin 1 of the RJ-45 connector and the other lead on the corresponding wire at the other end of the cable (Figure 9-2). The multimeter should indicate 0 ohms.

STEP 5: Place one lead on pin 2 of the RJ-45 connector and the other lead on the corresponding wire at the other end of the cable (Figure 9-2). The multimeter should indicate 0 ohms.

STEP 6: Place one lead on the cable shield and touch each wire, first on the exposed end of the cable and then on each pin on the RJ-45 end of the cable (Figure 9-2). The multimeter should indicate an open. Any other reading indicates that a short exists and that the cable should not be used.
