2.2.2 Card Cage and Slot Assignment

The chassis contains four front and rear card slot cages. Blades and RTMs are inserted from the front and the back and engage the midplane on either side, inside the card cage. A diagram indicating the number of the slots and Power Supply unit is located on the Fan Tray panel (refer to ''Chassis Cooling System'' on page 36). The midplane contains slot keys (located in the middle of the midplane), which match the appropriate blade/RTM. This prevents insertion of a blade/RTM in an incorrect slot.

Notes:

• While the slot keys on the midplane are designed to prevent the insertion

of a blade in an incorrect location, ensure that you don’t force a blade/RTM into a slot to avoid damaging either the blade/RTM or the midplane.

• High Availability (HA) is applicable only to Mediant 3000 (i.e., not

supported for IPmedia 3000 systems).

• All unoccupied slots are covered with protective blank panels (refer to

''Replacing Blades'' on page 62).

• The default IP addresses of the 8410 and 6310 blades depends on the

slot in which they reside: Slot #1 is 11.3.9.1 (active blade); Slot #3 is

interfaces: IP, and one STM-1/OC-3 or three T3 PSTN interfaces. For a detailed description of the RTM-6310, refer to ''RTM-6310 Rear Transition Module'' on page 24.

For Mediant 3000 systems, the blade is designed for protection capabilities. The redundant RTM (RTM-6310 Redundant), housed in the rear panel, provides 6310 blade redundancy protection by routing all calls between the active blade (previously redundant) and the RTM. The RTM-6310 Redundant itself does not provide any PSTN ports. For a detailed description of the RTM-6310 Redundant, refer to ''RTM-6310 Redundancy Rear Transition Module'' on page 26.

Notes:

• PSTN APS is partially compliant to GR-253 only.

• The 6310 blade supports either STM-1/OC-3 or T3 PSTN interface,

depending on software configuration (using the PSTNTransmissionType ini file parameter).

• HA (i.e., blade protection) is applicable only to Mediant 3000 systems.

2.6 Chassis Cooling System

The device's components are cooled by a Fan Tray module (FM/M3K), located on the extreme left of the chassis' front panel. The Fan Tray module is hot swappable and provides a handle for quick and easy removal and insertion. The Fan Tray module contains eight fans and an Air Filter (AF/3K). The fans are divided into two independent functional segments to prevent a single point of failure, providing necessary air flow for each blade in the card cage even if one of the fans or one segment stops operating.

The Fan Tray module draws air into the chassis using the eight fans, through a perforated grill located on the chassis' left panel. The incoming air passes through a removable Air Filter located within the fan assembly immediately inside the perforated grill, whose honeycombed design prevents radio frequency (RF) interferences. The cool air passes over the entire set of blades, cooling each one. The air then exits the chassis through perforated vents on the chassis' right panel.

SIP Hardware Installation Manual 36 Document #: LTRT-94701

SIP Hardware Installation Manual 2. Physical Description

The Fan Tray module also provides severity alarm LEDs and an Alarm Cut-Off (ACO) button on its front panel (for a description, refer to ''Alarm LEDs and ACO Button'' on page

18).

Figure 2-16: Fan Tray Module

Blank panels are used to cover all unoccupied slots on the chassis' front and rear panels. These panels are constructed to assist optimal air flow within the chassis.

When implementing the 8410 VoP blade in a Simplex system, Air Baffle panels are also used (refer to figure below) to assist in cooling the system. The Air Baffles maintain internal airflow pressure and ensure the correct operating temperature in the front cage of the chassis. These panels are installed in slots #3 and #4 in the chassis' front panel.

Rack Mount Safety Instructions

When installing the chassis in a rack, ensure you implement the following safety instructions:

• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or

multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

• Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be

such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not compromised.

• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be

such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of

the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should

be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips.)

¾ To install the device in a 19-inch rack, take these 2 steps:

1. Position the device in a 19-inch rack, aligning the left and right mounting bracket holes

with the holes in the vertical tracks of the 19-inch rack.

2. Use standard 19-inch rack bolts (not supplied) to fasten the device to the frame of the

rack. Note that optional rear and mid-attachment is supported.

Figure 3-11: RJ-45 Connector Pinouts

3.3.3.3 Connecting GbE Interfaces to IP Network

The RTM-8410 provides two Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interface ports (RJ-45 connectors). The dual ports support 1+1 Ethernet redundancy. These ports are used for interfacing with the IP network (LAN). The status of these ports are indicated by the GBE LEDs on the 8410 blade in the chassis' front panel (refer to ''LEDs'' on page 29).

Notes:

• For IPmedia 3000, the RTM-8410 providing two SCSI ports is

implemented. However, only the GbE interface ports are used.

• For Mediant 3000 in HA mode, both RTM-8410's must be separately

cabled to the IP network (using the GbE interface ports). When in Simplex mode and using two RTM-8410s (i.e., for 84 E1/T1), only the RTM-8410 in Slot #2 must be cabled to the IP network.

• Two RTM-8410s are provided for Mediant 3000 with 8410 blades for 42

and 84 spans Simplex and HA modes. Therefore, in an HA system and to provide full Ethernet redundancy, it is recommended to connect all four Ethernet ports to the external IP network. In addition, to provide Ethernet switch redundancy, the two Ethernet ports on each RTM-8410 must be connected to different switches.

• When Mediant 3000 with 8410 blade is configured for Physical Network

Separation, the GbE port is used only for interfacing with the Media network. The connection to the Control and OAMP network interfaces is performed on the PEM modules (refer to ''Connecting Ethernet Interfaces to OAM and Control IP Networks'' on page 54). When Physical Network Separation is disabled, the RTM-8410's GbE port is used for all traffic (i.e., Media, Contraol, and OAM).

4.2 Replacing Blades/RTMs

This section describes how to remove and insert a blade/RTM from/into the compactPCI™ chassis. The blades/RTMs are designed with ejector/injector latches on either side (refer to the figure below) to secure the blades to the chassis' cage slots.

Figure 4-1: Removing / Inserting Front-Panel Blade using Ejector / Injector Latches

4.2.1 Removing Blades/RTMs

The cPCI blades are designed for hot-swappable capabilities (i.e., they can be inserted and removed from a slot while the device is under power). However, when the device is a standalone device engineered in the network with an N+1 redundancy (i.e., other devices in the network are available to take the load in the event of a blade failure), before replacing the blades, the chassis must be powered down and gracefully locked (i.e., no new calls are allowed and current calls are terminated after a user-defined interval). The exception to this is for cleaning or replacing the fan filters, which can be performed while the system is fully functioning.

The following procedure describes how to remove a blade/RTM from the compactPCI™ chassis.

SIP Hardware Installation Manual 62 Document #: LTRT-94701

SIP Hardware Installation Manual 4. Maintenance and Repair

¾ To remove a blade/RTM from a chassis, take these 7 steps:

1. If the device is a standalone device in your network environment, gracefully lock the

device using the device's Web interface (refer to the device's User's Manual) or EMS management system, and then power off the device. Graceful shutdown can also be initiated using an SNMP interface using the 'node maintenance' parameters (refer to the Product Reference Manual).

2. Disconnect all cables (if necessary).

3. Using a Philips screwdriver, unfasten the screws located at both ends of the

blade/RTM that secure the blade to the chassis.

4. Press the blade's/RTM's red ejector buttons on each of the two black ejector/injector

latches to release the blade/RTM from the slot.

5. Simultaneously rotate the ejector/injector latches outward to disengage the blade/RTM

from the slot.

6. Pull on the two ejector/injector latches and gently slide the blade/RTM out of the slot.

7. If you are not going to install a replacement blade/RTM, cover the slot with a blank

panel, as shown below; otherwise, follow the blade/RTM installation procedure in ''Inserting Blades/RTMs'' on page 63.

Figure 4-2: Blank Panel for Unoccupied Slots

Notes:

• It is imperative to cover unoccupied slots with blank panels (refer to the

figure above) in the chassis' front and rear slot cages to maintain internal airflow pressure.

• For HA systems (i.e., Mediant 3000), there is no need to power down the

device. In the event of a blade failure, the device automatically performs a switchover to the standby blade (making it the active blade), and generates a notification alarm. Replace the failed blade as soon as possible to restore the system’s high availability.

• Make a note of the MAC address of the blade that you are replacing. This

address is later required for setting the correct parameter configuration of the replacement blade.

4.7 Replacing 155-Mbps Optical SFP Transceiver Modules (Only 6310 Blades)

The RTM-6310 provides Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) cages for accepting replaceable 155-Mbps SFP optical transceiver modules (single-mode) for STM-1/OC-3 PSTN interfaces. These SFP modules are hot-swappable (i.e. they can be plugged into or pulled out of the RTM-6310 while the power is on).

Caution Laser

Avoid exposure to laser radiation by ensuring that you insert dust / EMI plugs into SFP transceiver modules to which no cables are connected. Laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the SFP transceiver modules when no cables are connected. Do not stare into open SFP cages (i.e. plugs yet to be inserted).

Notes:

• The Fiber Optic interface is applicable only to 6310 blade (i.e., RTM-

6310).

• To prevent contamination of the internal components and to optimize

electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance, it is recommended that
