About the Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510

The Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510 (MCU MSE 8510) is a technologically
advanced media processor that fits into a Cisco TelePresence MSE 8000 chassis. It
can be used as a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) combining continuous presence
high definition video conferencing and the highest possible voice quality.

LED behavior

Table 1 describes the behavior of the LEDs.

Table 1: MCU MSE 8510 LED behavior

LED Color Indicates

USB Port Activity Green Reserved for future expansion

Admin Port Activity Green Reserved for future expansion

Status Green The MCU MSE 8510 is operating

normally

Alarm Red The MCU MSE 8510 is booting or has

developed a fault, for example:

 temperature is outside normal limits
 battery failure of the internal clock

Refer to the web interface for more
information about the problem (go to

Status > Health)

Ethernet Port Status, for each
Ethernet port and Admin port:

FDX Green The link has been negotiated as a full-

duplex link

Act Green Packets are being transmitted on this port

Link Green The speed of the link from this port,

which is either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps

Power Blue The MCU MSE 8510 is receiving power

from the MSE 8000 chassis.

Installing the MCU MSE 8510

Installing the MCU MSE 8510

Step one: Install the MCU MSE 8510 into the MSE 8000 chassis

1 Remove the blade or blanking blade from the slot into which you are going to

install the MCU MSE 8510:
i Using a No.1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screws in the retaining latches

with an anti-clockwise quarter turn.

ii Open both retaining latches on the front of the blade or blanking blade.

When open, a retaining latch is at a 90

° angle perpendicular to the front of

the blade.

Important: Before installing the MCU MSE 8510 into the MSE 8000,

read the safety information guide for the MSE 8000 chassis at

http://www.cisco.com/go/telepresence/safety

.

Although blades are hot-swappable parts, you must only remove one
blade at any time. Remove the power from the MSE 8000, if you need to
remove more than one blade at a time.

Before hot-swapping a blade, shut down the blade using the web interface.
Do not shut down a blade during a software upgrade or if the blade is
processing (for example if a conference is taking place on a blade).

The MSE 8000 backplane uses high performance data connectors. Do not
remove MCU MSE 8510 blades unless necessary because doing so may
reduce the life of these connectors.

Make sure that you have the correct power requirements and sufficient
power in your PSU; for information on powering the MSE 8000 refer to
the Getting Started Guide on http://www.tandberg.com/support/video-

conferencing-documentation.jsp).

You must install either a blade or a blanking blade in each of the ten
positions in the chassis.

The Supervisor blade must be installed into slot 1 of the MSE 8000
chassis.
