Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local

Chapter 1
Installing a Net Module
This chapter describes tasks that you perform to install a net module in an ASN.
Each of the synchronous net modules requires the ASN to be running a specific
version of router software as follows:
•The Dual Sync net module requires Version 8.00 or later.
•The Quad Sync net module requires Version 11.00 or later.
To install a net module:
1. Remove the ASN component tray.
2. Attach the antistatic wrist strap.
3. Remove the filler brackets.
4. Remove the net module you want to replace from the ASN (if necessary).
5. Install the new net module.
6. Replace the filler brackets.
7. Disconnect the antistatic wrist strap.
8. Replace the component tray.
Note:
Experienced network operators can safely perform the user-serviceable
procedures that are described in this book.

Installing Synchronous Net Modules in an ASN Platform
Removing the Component Tray
You need a Phillips screwdriver to complete this procedure.
To remove the component tray:
1.
Power off the ASN.
2.
Detach all cables, including the power cable, from the ASN back panel.
3.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws that fasten the
tray to the chassis (Figure 1-1).
a.
Pull the two captive screws and gently slide the tray out of the chassis
a few inches (Figure 1-1).
b.
Hold the sides and bottom of the tray to support it as you slide it out.
Try to keep the tray level as you slide it out.
4.
Place the tray on a sturdy work surface.
Caution:
Do not touch any components or boards in the ASN until you have
attached an antistatic wrist strap. See the next section, “Attaching the
Antistatic Wrist Strap.”

Installing a Net Module3
Installing Synchronous Net Modules in an ASN Platform
Attaching the Antistatic Wrist Strap
Your ASN comes with an antistatic wrist strap. An antistatic wrist strap directs the
discharge of static electricity from your body to the chassis of the router, thereby
avoiding discharge to sensitive electronic components. You must wear an
antistatic wrist strap whenever you remove, install, or handle the net module.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Follow the procedure
in this section to protect your equipment from damage.
Attach the antistatic wrist strap as follows:
1.
Remove the wrist strap from its package.
2.
Place the looped end of the strap around your wrist.
3.
Adjust the strap so that it fits snugly around your wrist and makes good
contact with your skin.
4.Attach the alligator clip at the other end of the wrist strap to any
unpainted, metal surface on the component tray.
Installing a Net Module4
BNX Software Version <x.x>Test Part Number
Removing Filler Brackets
Filler brackets cover empty ASN net module positions and the openings above
positions 1 and 3 (Figure 1-2). When you install a net module, you must remove
the filler brackets from the openings above positions 1 and 3, and also from the
position in which you want to install the net module.
Note: This manual refers to the end of the component tray where the net
module ports are exposed as the “back end” of the tray. To perform
maintenance tasks on the ASN components, you face the back end of the tray.
To remove a filler bracket, grasp its top edges. Then lift the brack et up and to w ard
the front of the tray to release the metal tabs. (Remember that the net module ports
are exposed at the back of the tray.)

Installing a Net Module
Before you install the net module, note that
•To access position 2 or 4, you must remove the filler bracket and net module
(if any) above it. See the earlier sections “Removing Filler Brackets” and
“Removing a Net Module.”
•To install a net module in a position from which you just removed a net
module of a different type, you must first delete the old net module from the
router’s configuration file. Then install the new module in the chassis. See
Configuring Routers for information.
To install a net module:
1.Align the slots in the module bracket with the metal tabs in the net
module position that you want to use (Figure 1-5).
Do not rest the module bracket on the metal tabs; doing so makes it difficult to
align the module connector with the connector on the system board.
2.Align the module connector with the connector on the system board.
Make sure that the white retaining post on the system board aligns
through the hole in the net module (Figure 1-5).
Note: If you accidentally turn the white retaining post on the system board, it
will not align through the hole in the net module. In this case, turn the post so
that its rectangular base is perpendicular to the net module connectors on the
system board.
3.Firmly press the handle on the net module so that the net module is
secure in its connector on the system board. Make sure that the white
retaining tab snaps into place.
4.Press down on the module bracket so that it rests on the metal tabs.

Test Part Number BNX Software Version <x.x>Cabling Requirements for the
Requirements for European Operation
This appendix provides technical specifications and notes about operating the
following net modules in Europe:
•Dual Sync net module (Order No. 34001, Part No. 107287)
•Quad Sync net module (Order No. AF2111005, Part No. 112499)
Installation Requirements
Appendix B
The net modules are approved only for installation in a host, and with host
attachments, which are either type approved for such apparatus or, if supplied
after March 1, 1989, are marked with or supplied with a statement that the host is
supplied under the terms of General Approval No. NS/G/1234/J/100003.
Installation of the net modules in an ASN will satisfy the conditions stated in this
appendix. The ASN is supplied under the terms of General Approval No.
NS/G/1234/J/100003.
Power Requirements
The net modules are powered from the host chassis and have the power
requirements shown in Table B-1.

+12 V0.75 A
-12 V0.75 A
Test Part Number BNX Software Version <x.x>Requirements for European
Installing Synchronous Net Modules in an ASN Platform
The power drawn from the host chassis combined with that required for any other
net modules and accessories must be within the power rating of the host chassis.
You must install the net modules so as not to impair the integrity of the network
protection from hazardous voltages used or generated internally by the host
chassis.
Clearances and Creepage Distances
You must maintain the clearances and creepage distances (shown as X and Y,
respectively, in Table B-2 and Figure B-1) between the net module and
•The host chassis in which it is installed
•Any adjacent net modules installed in the host chassis
The exception to this rule is the edge connector, which is located in the host
chassis backplane, where no minimum distance applies.
Table B-2.Net Module Clearances and Creepage Distances
Voltage Used or Generated by Other
Clearance (X)Creepage (Y)
2.0 mm2.4 (3.8) mmUp to 50 V rms or V dc
2.6 mm3.0 (4.8) mmUp to 125 V rms or V dc
4.0 mm5.0 (8.0) mmUp to 250 V rms or V dc
4.0 mm6.4 (10.0) mmUp to 300 V rms or V dc
Parts of the Host or Expansion Card
The creepage distances apply to the normal office environment. When the local
environment within the host chassis is subject to conductive pollution or dry
nonconductive pollution that could become conductive due to condensation, the
creepage distances shown in parentheses in Table B-2 will apply.
Requirements for European Operation2 BNX Software Version <x.x>Test Part Number
Installation Requirements
The clearance and creepage distance between adjacent points should be checked
as follows (Figure B-1):
•The clearance distance (X) is the shortest distance between two points
measured through the air.
•The creepage distance (Y) is the shortest distance between two points
measured across a surface.

You should obtain advice from a competent telecommunications safety engineer if
in doubt.
Failure to install a net module according to these instructions will invalidate the
Approval.
