Preparing to Install the Chassis
The Cisco ONS 15540 ESP chassis is designed for rack-mounting in a cabinet rack. Use star-type lock
washers on the rack screws to ensure a good conductive connection between the chassis and the rack.
For information about installing the units in a customer cabinet, see the instructions from the cabinet
manufacturer.
Three chassis fit in a standard rack. However, if you use the external AC-input power supply, you can
install two chassis with the power supply.

Installing Cisco ONS 15540 ESP Hardware
Perform this procedure to install the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP chassis in a standard 19-inch rack:
Step 1 Place the L brackets on the sides of the chassis.
Step 2 Secure the L brackets to the chassis using the 14 M4 Phillips countersunk-head screws provided in the
rack-mount kit. Use seven screws on each L bracket on the sides of the chassis.
Step 3 Place the top cable guide over the top of the chassis. Ensure that the earth contact is visible through the
cable guide.
Step 4 Secure the cable guide to the shelf with five 6-32 screws.
Installing the Chassis
To install the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP chassis in the rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Grasp the bottom edge of the chassis with one hand near the front and the other near the back. With one
person at each side of the chassis, slowly lift the chassis in unison.
Step 2 Position the chassis in the rack.
Step 3 Align the mounting holes in the L bracket and the bottom cable management guide with the mounting
holes in the equipment rack.
Step 4 Install the 12-24 or 10-32 screws through the elongated holes in the L bracket and into the threaded holes
in the mounting post.
Step 5 Place the bottom cable guides over the fan assembly.
Step 6 Secure the cable guide to the rack with the 6-32 screws.
Chapter 2 Quick Installation Procedures
Installing Strain Relief Brackets
The Cisco ONS 15540 ESP system uses a power supply cable strain relief bracket for connections to its
power supply and an alarm cable strain relief bracket for alarm cable connections. The strain relief
brackets must be installed after the shelf is rack mounted and installed in the rack. The brackets are
required for proper function of the power supply and alarm cables.
To install the strain relief brackets, follow these steps:
Step 1 Place the strain relief bracket over the designated slots on the back panel.
Step 2 Use the two screws provided to secure the strain relief bracket to the shelf.
Installing the Processor Card
The mux/demux motherboards, line card motherboards, and processor cards are hot-swappable. We
recommend installing the processor cards firstand then fillingthe chassis from slots 0 to 11, left to right.

Installing Cisco ONS 15540 ESP Hardware
Cabling Transponder Modules
To install fiber-opticcablesintheCisco ONS 15540 ESP, a fiber cable with the corresponding connector
type must be connected to the transmit and receive ports on the modules. On Cisco ONS 15540 optical
ports, the top connector is Transmit and the bottom connector is Receive. Label the transmit and receive
and the working and protection fibers at each end of the fiber span to avoid confusion with cables that
are similar in appearance.
Step 1 Place the connector in front of the connection point on the transponder module faceplate. Each
transponder module has at least one transmit and one receive connector to create an optical carrier port.
Step 2 Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the receiving slot on the faceplate connection point.
Gently push the cable connector into the faceplate connection point until the connector snaps into place.
Step 3 Route fiber cables through the cable retaining clips on the optical card faceplate into the cable
management tray on the bottom of the shelf assembly.
Step 4 Route the fiber cables from the cable management tray out of the right side of the shelf assembly through
cutout holes from the cable management tray.
Cabling Mux/Demux Modules
This section describes the connections between pairs of mux/demux modules and between mux/demux
modules and mux/demux motherboards in the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP. The assumption is made that the
motherboard and modules are already installed and checked.

fiber length) to connect OSC ports of the motherboard to OSC In and OSC Out on the module.
Step 1 Connect OSC Tx from the motherboard to OSC In on the module.
Step 2 Connect OSC Rx from the motherboard to OSC Out on the module.
Connecting 4-Channel or 8-Channel Mux/Demux Modules
If you have more than one 4-channel or 8-channel mux/demux module, perform the following steps to
cascade the modules. Use MU-MU connectors (short fiber length) to connect the modules.
Step 1 Connect the Thru Out port of the module with the DWDM Trunk to Trunk In of the next module in slot 0.
Step 2 Connect the Thru Out of the remaining modules to Trunk In of the next module in slot 0.
Step 3 Perform the steps above for Thru In and Trunk Out in the same slot. Repeat the steps above for slot 1.
Step 4 Connect the trunk fiber to the mux/demux module.
