The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the inter ferenc e at thei r own expense .
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Warning
When installed in an equipment rack, the ONS 15454 assembly is typically connected to a fuse and alarm panel to provide centralized alarm connection points and distributed power for the ONS 15454. Fuse and alarm panels are th ird-pa rty equipm ent a nd are not de scribe d in this docum enta tion. If you are unsur e about the requirements o r specifications for a fuse and alarm panel, consult the documentation for the related equipment . T he f ron t do or of the ON S 1 545 4 al lows ac cess to t he sh elf a ssembl y, fan-tray assembly, and cable-management area. The backplanes provide access to alarm contacts, external interface contacts, power terminals, and BNC/SMB connectors.
The ONS 15454 relies on the protective devices in the building installation to protect against short circuit, overcurrent, and grounding faults. Ensure that the protective devices are properly rated to protect the system, and that they comply with national and local codes.
Incorporate a readily-accessible, two-poled disconnect device in the fixed wiring.

To prevent the equipment from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 131°F (55°C). To prevent airflow restriction, allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings.
The ONS 15454 is easily mounted in a 19- or 23-inch equipment rack. The shelf assembly projects five inches from the front of the rack. It mounts in both EIA-standard and Telcordia-standard racks. The shelf assembly is a total of 17 inches wide with no mounting ears attached. With the mounting ears attached, the shelf assembly i s 19 inches wide. Ring runs are not provided by Cisco and may hinder side-by-side installation of shelves where space is limited.
The ONS 15454 measures 18.5 inches high, 19 or 23 inches wide (depending on which way the mounting ears are attach ed), a nd 12 inc hes deep (47 by 48 .3 by 3 0.5 cm ). You can install up to four O NS 1545 4s in a seven-foot equipment rack. The ONS 15454 must have 1 inch of airspace below the installed shelf assembly to allow air flow to the fan intake. If a second ONS 15454 is installed underneath the shelf assembly , the air ramp on top of the lower shelf assembly provides the air spacing needed and should not be modified in any way. Figure 1-1 shows the dim ensions of the ONS 15454.
Note The 10 Gbps compatible shelf assem bly (15 454-SA-1 0G) an d fan-tray ass embl y (15454 -FTA3) are
required with the ONS 15454 X C10G, OC- 192, and OC- 48 any slot (AS) cards.
Warning
The ONS 15454 should be installed in the lower rack position or mounted above another ONS 15454 shelf assembly.

1.3.3 Mounting Multiple Nodes

Rack Installation
Most standard seven-foot racks can hold four ONS 15454s and a fuse and alarm panel. However, unequal flange racks are lim ited to three ONS 15454 s and a fu se and al ar m pane l or fo ur ONS 154 54s an d a fus e and alarm pane l from a n ad jac ent r ack.
If you are using the bottom brackets to install the fan-tray air filter, you can install three shelf assemblies in a standard sev en -foot rac k. I f you are not usin g th e bott om bra cket s, yo u c an in stall four sh elf assemblies in a rack. The advantage to using the bottom brackets is that you can replace the filter without removing the fan tray.
Procedure: Mount Multiple Shelf Assemblies in a Rack
Note The ONS 15454 must have one inch of airspace below the installed shelf assembly to allow air flow
to the fan intake. If a second ONS 15454 is installed underneath a shelf assembly, the air ramp on top of the bottom shelf assembly prov ides the desired spac e. However, if the ONS 15454 is insta lled above third-party eq uipment, you must pro vide a minimu m spacing of one inch be tween th e third-party shelf assembly and the bottom of the ONS 15454. The third-party equipment must not vent heat upward into t he ONS 154 54.
Step 1 Install the fuse and alarm panel in the top space. Step 2 Mount the firs t ON S 15 454 dir ec tly b elo w the fu se and ala rm p anel. Step 3 Repeat the procedure with the thi rd and fourt h ONS 15454s.

but not merge multiple nodes into a single ONS 15454. You can link nodes with OC-12 or OC-48 fiber spans as you would link any other two network nodes. The nodes can be co-located in a facility to aggregate more local traffic.
Figure 1-4 shows a four-shelf node setup . Each shelf assem bly is reorganize d as a separa te node in the
ONS 15454s software interface (Cisco Transport Controller [CTC]), and traffic is mapped using CTC cross-connect options. In the figure, each node uses redundant fiber-optic cards. Node 1 uses redundant OC-N transport and OC-N bus (c onnec ting) car ds for a total of fou r cards , with eig ht free slots remaining. Nodes 2 and 3 each use two red undant OC-N bus card s for a total of four c ards, wi th eight free slots remaining. Node 4 uses redundant OC-12 bus cards for a total of two cards, with ten free slots remaining. The four node example presented here is one of many ways to set up a multiple-node configuration. Se e “Chapter 5, “SONE T Topologies” for more information about multiple-node configurations.

1.6 EIA Installation

Optional EIA backplane covers are typically pre-installed when ordered with the ONS 15454. EIAs must be ordered when using DS-1, DS-3, DS3XM-6, or EC-1 cards. A minimum amount of assembly may be required when EIAs are orde red separ ately fro m the ONS 15 454. Four different EI A backpla ne covers are available f or t he O NS 15 454 : BN C, H igh- Den sity BNC, SM B, a nd A MP Cha m p. Thi s sect ion describes each EIA in detail.
EIAs are attached to the shelf assembly backplane to provide coaxial cable connections. EIAs are available with SMB an d B NC con n ecto r s f or DS- 3 o r EC - 1 car ds. E IA s ar e available with AMP Champ connectors for DS -1 c a rds. You must use SMB EIAs f or DS -1 t wist ed- pair ca ble inst alla tion. You can install EIAs on one or both sides of the ONS 15454 backplane in any combination (in other words, AMP Champ on Side A and BNC on Side B or High-Density BNC on side A and SMB on side B, and so forth).
If you are installing EI As after th e shelf a ssembly is i nstalled, plug the E IA into the back plane. The EI A has six electrical connectors that plug into six corresponding backplane connectors. The EIA backplane must replace the standard sheet metal cover to provide access to the coaxial cable connectors. The EIA sheet metal covers use the same screw holes as the solid backplane panels, but they have 12 additional 6-32 x 1/2 inch phillips screw holes so you can screw down the cover and the board using standoffs on the EIA board. T his sec ti on de scr ibes e ach EI A a nd pro vi des in stall ation pr oced ur es.

1.7 Fan-Tray Assembly Installation

The fan-tray assembly is located at the bottom of the ONS 15454 front compartment. The fan tray is a removable drawer th at holds fa ns and fan-c ontrol circuit ry for the ONS 15454 . The fro nt door can be left in place when remov ing or installing the fan t ray but re moval is recommended. After you install the fan tray, you should only need to access it if a fan failure occur s or you need to replace o r clean the fan-tray air fil ter.
The front of the fan-tra y assembly h as an LCD scree n that pro vides slot an d port- level infor mati on for all ONS 15454 card slots, including the number of Critical, Major, and Minor alarms.
The fan-tray assembly features an air filter at the bottom of the tray that you can install and remove by hand. Remove and visually inspect this filter every 30 days and keep spare filters in stock. See the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide for information about cleaning and maintaining the fan-tray air fil ter.
Note The 10-Gbps c ompatible shelf asse mbly (15454-SA-ANSI, P/N: 800-19857) and fan-tray assembly
(15454-FTA3) are require d with the ON S 1 545 4 XC10G , OC-1 92, an d O C-4 8 an y slo t (A S) c ar ds.
Fan-Tray Assembly Installation
Caution Do not operate an ONS 15454 without a fan-tray filter. A fan-tray filter is mandatory.
Caution The 15454-F TA3 fan-tray assembly can only be installed in ONS 15454 Release 3.1 shelf assemblies
(15454-SA-ANSI, 800 -19 857) . It inc lude s a p in th at does no t al low it to be insta lled in ON S 154 54 shelf assemblies released before ON S 15454 Rele ase 3.1 (154 54-SA-N EBS3E, 1545 4-SA-NE BS3, and 15454-SA-R1, P/N 800-0714915454 ). Installing the 15454-FTA3 in a non-compl iant shelf assembly may result in failure of the alarm in terf ace pa nel (AIP ), wh ich in turn , will result in powe r loss to the fan-tray assembly.
Note The ONS 15454 Release 3.1 fan-tray assembly (15454-FTA3) is not I-temp. To obtain an I-temp fan
tray, install the 15454-FTA2 fan-tray assembly in an ONS 15454 Release 3.1 shelf assembly (P/N: 800-19857). However, do not install the ONS 154 54 Release 3.1 XC10G, OC-192, and OC-48 any slot (AS) cards in the shelf assemb ly with the 15 454-FTA2 fan-tr ay assembly.
If one or more fans fail on the fan-tray assembly, replace the entire assembly. You cannot replace individual fans. The r ed Fan Fail LED on the f ront of th e fan tray illuminates when one or mo re fans f ail. For fan tray replacem en t instructions, see the “Install the Fan-Tray Assembly” procedure on page 1-27.

Fan-Tray Assembly Installation

Procedure: Install the Bottom Brackets and Air Filter

The shelf assembly ships with bottom brackets that you should use to install the air filter. The bottom brackets consist of two grooved metal pieces that attach to the bottom of the shelf assembly using three screws each. When you use the bottom bracket to install the fan-tray air filter, you do not need to remove the fan-tray assembly to access the air filter. Attach the brackets to the bottom of the shelf assembly before installing the rack.
Although the fi lter wi ll work i f i t is inst al led with e ither si de fa cin g u p, Cisc o re com mend s tha t y ou install it with the metal bracing facing up to preserve the surface of the filter.
Note If you choose not to install the bottom brackets, install the air filter by sliding it into the compartment
at the bottom of the shelf ass embly. Each time you remove and reinsta ll the air fi lter in th e future , you must f ir st r em ov e th e fa n - tr a y a ss e mb ly.
Step 1 With the fan-tray assembly removed, pla ce the ONS 154 54 face down on a flat surfac e. Step 2 Locate the three screw holes that run along the left and right sides of the bottom of the shelf assembly. Step 3 Secure each bracket to th e bottom of th e shelf asse mbly usi ng the scre ws provid ed.
Each bracket has a filter stopper and a flange on one end. Make sure to attach the brackets with the stoppers and flanges facing the rear of the shelf assembly (the top, if the ONS 15454 is face-down during installation).
Chapter 1 Hardware Installation
Figure 1-20 illustrates bottom bracket installation. If you do not use the bottom brackets, in the future
you must remove the fan-tray assembly before removing the air filter. The bottom brackets enable you to clean and replace the air filter without removing the fan-tray assembly.

1.12.2 Gigabit Interface Converter

GBICs are hot-swappable input/output devices that plug into a Gigabit Ethernet (E1000-2 or E1000-2-G) card to link the card with the fiber-optic network. Cisco provides two GBIC models: one for short reach applications (part nu mber 154 54-GBIC- SX) and one for long- reach a pplicati ons (1545 4-GBIC -LX). The short reach, or “SX” model, conn ec ts to mu ltim ode f ibe r and t he lo ng reac h, o r “LX” model, requires single-mode fiber. Because the GBICs are very similar in appearance, check the label on the GBIC carefully before installing it.
For a description of GBICs and their capabilities, see Chapter 9, Ethernet Operati on.
Procedure: Install Gigabit Interface Converters
Step 1 Remove the GBI C f rom it s pro tec tiv e pa ck ag ing. Step 2 Check the part number to verify that the GBIC is the correct type for your network. Step 3 Grip the sides of the GB IC with you r thum b an d fo re fing er and inse rt i t in to the slo t on the fr ont pane l
of the Gigabit E the rnet c a rd (sh ow n in Figu re 1- 30 ).

ONS OC-N cards feature SC connect ors. To install fiber-optic cables in the ONS 1545 4, a fiber cable with the corresponding c onn ect or type must be c onn ect ed to the t ransm it an d re ceiv e port s on the O NS 15454 cards. On ONS 154 54 opti c al c ard por ts , the top co nne cto r is tran smit and the bo tto m co nnec to r is receive. Cisco recomm ends that the transm it and re ceive and the worki ng and prot ection fibers be labeled at each end of the fiber span to avoid confusion with cables that are similar in appearance.
For information abou t fiber cab le manage ment, se e the “Optical Cable Management section on

1.14.2 Coaxial Cable Management

Coaxial cables connect to EIAs on the ONS 15454 backplane using cable connectors. EIAs feature cable-management eyelets for tie wrapping or lacing cables to the cover panel.
Procedure: Route the Coaxial Cables
Step 1 Tie wrap or lace the coaxial cables according to local site practice and route the cables through the side
cutouts on either side of the ONS 15454. The rubber coated edges of the side cutouts prevent the cables from chafing.
Note When using the RG179 cable with SMB connectors, remember that the maximum distance
available with the RG179 cab le is less tha n the maxim um distan ce ava ilabl e with stan dard RG59 cable. If you only use the RG179 , the maxi mum ava ilable distance is 50 fee t versus the 450 feet availab le with the larger RG59 cable.
Step 2 Use short lengths of pi gtail RG179 to terminate the she lf assem bly. Step 3 Use standard RG59 conn ected to the RG179 for the remain der of the c able run. W hen using a 10 -foot
section of the R G1 79, y ou can at ta ch a m ax imum le ngth of 4 37 fe et of RG59 . W he n using a 30 -foot section of RG179, you c a n at tach a max imum le ngth of 311 feet of RG 59.
The shorter maximum distance available with the RG179 is due to a higher attenuation rate for the thinner cable. The attenuation rate for RG59 cable (based on testing with Belden 923, the equivalent of 328A cable) is ~ 1. 0 dB/10 0 f e et a t 2 2 Mh z (D S-3 dat a ra te ). Th e atte nuat ion ra te of RG 17 9 is
6.3 db/100 feet. Use a figure of 5.0 for total cable loss when making calculations. Figure 1-36 shows one side of the ONS 15454 backplan e with SMB EIAs and th e coax ial cable s proper ly routed.
