Introduction

.........................................................................................................................................................................................

General

A Model 1200 Brick device measures approximately 17″ (W)x19″ (D) x 3.5″(H) and is
intended to be installed on a standard 19-inch rack. It comes with two optional
rack-mounting brackets that can be attached to the sides to secure it to the rack.

There are two basic Brick 1200 models:

• The 1200 Brick (AC version only)

• The 1200 HS Brick (AC and DC versions)

Ports

The following table summarizes the number and type of ports that are supported on each
Brick 1200 model:

Port Type 1200 Brick Device 1200 HS Brick Device

10/100/1000BaseTX 8 14
Gigabit only interfaces

1

26

Notes:

1. The Gigabit only ports operate solely at the 1 Gigabit rate and are not 10/100/1000baseTX
auto-switchable. These ports are activated when the user inserts a Small Form-factor Pluggable
(SFP) module, which is ordered separately.

Power supply

The Model 1200 Brick device utilizes hot swappable mini-redundant power supplies for
both AC and DC versions.

Gigabit only interfaces

The Gigabit only ports on the Model 1200 Brick are configurable for copper/fiber
connections via Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules, which are sometimes referred
to as “mini-GBICs”.

The SFP module design is based on the GBIC interface, which is a standard for
transceivers that commonly use Gigabit copper Ethernet and fiber channels. The SFP is a
standard, hot swappable electrical interface that supports the full range of physical media,
from copper to optical fiber (multi mode or single mode) through the use of the appropriate
SFP module. These SFP modules can be easily interchanged, which allow networks to have
ports added or changed as the administrator wishes.

...................................................................

Hardware encryption

A hardware-based Encryption Accelerator (AES) Card is standard on the DC version and
AC version of the Model 1200 Brick.

Front view

The front of the Model 1200 Brick device has a chassis fan filter replacement panel on the
left side, with light-emitting diode (LED) activity lights, Power, Audible Cut-Off (ACO),
and Unit ID LEDs/buttons, and two USB ports on the right side.

The following table describes the function, label, color and operation of each LED activity
light/button on the front panel.

Notes:

1. The Power LED/button works like a momentary switch. To power up the Brick device, press the
button in and a steady green LED light indicates that the Brick is powered up. To power down
the Brick device, press and hold the button in again for at least 3 seconds.

2. If lit, there is an alarm fault in either the power supplies or fans. Observe the Fan1 and Fan2
LEDs to determine if it is a Fan alarm, or the PS1 and PS2 LEDs to determine if it is a power
supply alarm.

3. The Audible Cut Out (ACO) LED/button works like a momentary switch. Press the button in to
turn off an audible alarm and the ACO LED.

4. The Unit ID LED/button works like a momentary switch. Press and hold the button in to activate
the front and rear Unit ID LEDs. When pressed in for about 6 seconds, the Unit ID button starts
on-demand diagnostics (refer to the section “Hardware diagnostics” (p. 6)).

In addition to the activity lights described above, the DC version of the Model 1200 Brick
also has a Fault light, which is amber when power is lost to the A or B power connector.

Hardware diagnostics

When the Model 1200 Brick is powered on and boots up, it performs a Power On Self Test
(POST) diagnostics check of the motherboard, during which its memory, circuitry, and
peripherals are tested and configured. If the boot up of the motherboard is successful, the
motherboard LEDs, which are visible through four holes located in the rear of the chassis
near the bottom center of the Brick, flash green or red and then go out. If the boot up of
the motherboard is unsuccessful, each LED on the motherboard displays a steady green or
red. Should this occur, contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer Technical Support and indicate the
locked color status of each LED on the motherboard, from left to right, which can be used
to help determine the problem encountered during the POST diagnostics check.

The Model 1200 Brick also allows you to perform an on-demand diagnostics check of the
front panel alarms hardware (controlled by the Brick Alarm card installed in the front
chassis of the Brick), or to confirm a fault that might have occurred during normal
operations.

To perform an on-demand diagnostics check, do the following:

1. Confirm that the Brick is connected to an active power source.

2. Press and hold the Unit ID LED/button for five seconds.

...................................................................

6

The Brick’s front alarm card initially performs a program self-check. If this fails, all front
panel LEDs and the audible alarm buzzer cycle together through three blinks/audible alarms
and the on-demand diagnostics is terminated.

If the diagnostics program self-check passes, the Brick turns off all LEDs or audible alarms
that are active, then cycles through each alarm indicator on and off 3 times, one cycle per
second, sequentially.

The alarm indicators are activated in the following sequence:

1. PS1 LED

2. PS2 LED

3. FD Act

4. FO Act LED

5. Fan1 LED

6. Fan2 LED

7. Fault LED

8. ACO LED

9. Unit ID LED

10. Audible alarm (buzzer)

11. Remote Visual Alarm relay

12. Remove Audible Alarm relay
After the on-demand diagnostics run is completed, the front panel alarm indicators return to

their original state.

Rear view

The rear of the Model 1200 Brick device provides access to two hot swappable redundant
power supplies. There is an alarm interface terminal block with dry contact closures for
Visual and Audible alarms that can be connected to a local alarm system. There are two
10/100/1000baseTX interfaces on the motherboard. In addition, there are six
10/100/1000BaseTX interfaces on both versions of the Model 1200 Brick, with 1Gigabit
only ports (two on the Standard version and six on the HS version) where SFP modules
can be inserted. The rear also contains a keyboard port, a monitor port, the console port,
two USB ports, and the Unit ID LED light.

Important! For installation into networks that are subject to surges, a shielded Ethernet
cable and/or serial port cable may be needed for regulatory compliance.

device chassis must be properly grounded. Two 10-32 threaded studs, spaced 0.625 inches
apart, are provided at the rear of the chassis for grounding purposes.

Alarm outputs

Visual and Audible Alarm outputs are available from the rear of the Model 1200 Brick
device. Each Form C relay provides NO (Normally Open), C (Common), and NC
(Normally Closed) contacts. The designations NO, C, and NC represent the powered
″good″ state of the Brick device.

All contacts are limited to ±60V and 0.75A.

Visual Alarm Output - indicates the Alarm state of the Brick device and remains until the

alarm is gone.

Audible Alarm Output - indicates the Alarm state of the Brick device but can be disabled

with the ACO (Audible Cut Out) and will not reactivate until the existing alarm has been
cleared and a new alarm has been generated.

Handling Brick device components

To prevent damage to components from electrostatic discharge, always follow the proper
guidelines for equipment handling and storage. Adapter cards and semiconductor devices in
general can be easily and permanently damaged due to electrostatic discharge during
installation and removal.

In order to reduce the static potential, the user should be properly grounded through the use
of an approved antistatic wrist strap when installing, removing or handling Brick devices.

General Laser Information

Optical fiber telecommunication systems, their associated test sets, and similar operating
systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared (IR) light at wavelengths
between approximately 800 nanometers and 1600 nanometers. The emitted light is above
the red end of the visible spectrum, which is normally not visible to the human eye.
Although radiant energy at near-IR wavelengths is officially designated invisible, some
people can see the shorter wavelength energy even at power levels several orders of
magnitude below any that have been shown to cause injury to the eye.

Conventional lasers can produce an intense beam of monochromatic light. The term
monochromaticity means a single wavelength output of pure color that may be visible or
invisible to the eye. A conventional laser produces a small-size beam of light, and because
the beam size is small the power density (also called irradiance) is very high. Consequently,
lasers and laser products are subject to federal and applicable state regulations as well as
international standards for their safe operation.

A conventional laser beam expands very little over distance, or is said to be very well
collimated. Thus, conventional laser irradiance remains relatively constant over distance.
However, lasers used in lightwave systems have a large beam divergence, typically 10 to
20 degrees. Here, irradiance obeys the inverse square law (doubling the distance reduces
the irradiance by a factor of (4) and rapidly decreases over distance.

Lasers and Eye Damage

The optical energy emitted by laser and high-radiance LEDs in the 400-1400 nm range may
cause eye damage if absorbed by the retina. When a beam of light enters the eye, the eye
magnifies and focuses the energy on the retina magnifying the irradiance. The irradiance of
the energy that reaches the retina is approximately 105 or 100,000 times more than at the
cornea and, if sufficiently intense, may cause a retinal burn.

The damage mechanism at the wavelengths used in an optical fiber telecommunications is
thermal in origin, such as damage caused by heating. Therefore, a specific amount of
energy is required for a definite time to heat an area of retinal tissue. Damage to the retina
occurs only when one looks at the light sufficiently long that the product of the retinal
irradiance and the viewing time exceeds the damage threshold. Optical energies above 1400
nm cause corneal and skin burns but do not affect the retina. The thresholds for injury at
wavelengths greater than 1400 nm are significantly higher than for wavelengths in the
retinal hazard region.

Classification of Lasers

Manufacturers of lasers and laser products in the U.S. are regulated by the Food and Drug
Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH) under 21 CFR

1040. These regulations require manufacturers to certify each laser or laser product as

belonging to one of four major Classes I, II, IIa, IIIa, IIIb, or IV. The International

...................................................................

24

Electro-technical Commission is an international standards body that writes laser safety
standards under IEC-60825. Classification schemes are similar with Classes divided into
Classes 1, 1M, 2, 2M, 3B, 3R and 4. Lasers are classified according to the accessible
emission limits and their potential for causing injury. Optical fiber telecommunication
systems are generally classified as Class I/1, because, under normal operating conditions,
all energized laser transmitting circuit packs are terminated on optical fibers which enclose
the laser energy with the fiber sheath forming a protective housing. Also, a protective
housing / access panel is typically installed in front of the laser circuit pack shelves. The
circuit packs themselves, however, may be FDA/CDRH Class I, IIIb, or IV or IEC Class 1,
1M, 3B, 3R or 4. State of the art Raman and EDFA optical amplifiers have now extended
into the Class IV/4 designations.

Laser Safety Precautions for Optical Fiber Telecommunications Systems

In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber telecommunication system is totally enclosed
and presents no risk of eye injury. It is a Class I/1 system under the FDA and IEC
classifications.

The fiber optic cables that interconnect various components of an optical fiber
telecommunication system can disconnect or break, and may expose people to laser
emissions. Also, certain measures and maintenance procedures may expose the technician to
emission from the semiconductor laser during installation and servicing. Unlike more
familiar laser devices, such as solid-state and gas lasers, the emission pattern of a
semiconductor laser results in a highly divergent beam. In a divergent beam, the irradiance
(power density) decreases rapidly with distance. The greater the distance, the less energy
will enter the eye, and the less potential risk for eye injury. Inadvertently viewing an
unterminated fiber or damaged fiber with the unaided eye at distances greater than 5 to 6
inches normally will not cause eye injury provided the power in the fiber is less than a few
milliwatts at the near IR wavelengths and a few tens of milliwatts at the far IR
wavelengths. However, damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope,
magnifying glass or eye loupe is used to stare at the energized fiber end.

CAUTION

CAUTION
Possible radiation exposure

Possible personal injury
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified

herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Laser Safety Guidelines

...................................................................

25

Laser Safety Precautions for Enclosed Systems

Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems are completely
enclosed; nonetheless, the following precautions shall be observed:

1. Because of the potential for eye damage, technicians should not stare into optical
connectors or broken fibers.

2. Under no circumstance shall laser/fiber optic operations be performed by a technician
before satisfactorily completing training in laser safety.

3. Since viewing laser emissions directly in excess of Class I/1 limits with an optical
instrument such as an eye loupe greatly increases the risk of eye damage, appropriate
labels must appear in plain view, in close proximity to the optical port on the
protective housing/access panel of the terminal equipment.

Laser Safety Precautions for Unenclosed Systems

During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication system is
considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow these practices:

1. Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do service, maintenance and
restoration. Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical
connectors at close distances. Laser modules associated with the optical ports of laser
circuit packs are typically recessed, which limits the exposure distance. Optical port
shutters, Automatic Power Reduction (APR), and Automatic Power Shut Down (APSD)
are engineering controls that are also used to limit the emissions. However, technicians
removing or replacing laser circuit packs should not stare or look directly into the
optical port with optical instruments or magnifying lenses. (Normal eyewear or indirect
viewing instruments such as Find-R-Scopes are not considered magnifying lenses or
optical instru-ments.)

2. Only authorized, trained personnel shall use optical test equipment during installation
or servicing since this equipment contains semiconductor lasers. (Some examples of
optical test equipment are Optical Time Domain Reflectometers ( OTDR’s), Hand-Held
Loss Test Sets)

3. Under no circumstances shall any personnel scan a fiber with an optical test set
without verifying that all laser sources on the fiber are turned off.

4. All unauthorized personnel shall be excluded from the immediate area of the optical
fiber telecommunication systems during installation and service.

Consult ANSI Z136.2 - American National Standard for Safe Use of Optical Fiber
Communication Systems Utilizing Laser Diodes and LED Sources in the U.S. or outside
the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2 for guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication
systems in the workplace.

To Perform a Hot Swap of a Fan Unit

.........................................................................................................................................................................................

When to use

Use this hot swap procedure to remove and replace a defective fan unit.
The fan units are individual single-fan and dual-fan plug-in units with a metal cage cover

(refer to Figure 11, “Brick Fan Units (Front View)” (p. 34) and Figure 12, “Brick Fan

Units (Rear View)” (p. 35)).

Figure 11 Brick Fan Units (Front View)

...................................................................

34

While removing and replacing a fan unit, keep in mind that the single fan unit must always
be installed on the left side of the opening for the fan assemblies, and that the dual fan unit
must always be installed on the right side of the opening.

When a fan unit is removed while the Brick is running, a temperature sensor within the
CPU monitoring the internal operating temperature invokes the remaining fan(s) to run at
full speed and generates a visual fan alarm, indicating a missing fan unit. Once the
replacement fan unit is installed, the alarm is cleared and the fans return to normal
operating speed.
